大全-D-14. A nutritionist studying the effects of massive doses of vitamin C found that of a group of 600 people who regularly took 1,500 mg of vitamin C daily for a year, fewer than 9 percent suffered serious cases of flu; of a group of 600 people who took 250 mg of vitamin C (the standard recommended daily allowance) daily for a year, 34 percent suffered at least one serious case of flu; and of a group of 600 people who took no vitamin C for a year (other than that found in the foods in a balanced diet), 32 percent suffered at least one serious case of flu. Which of the following hypotheses is best supported by the evidence above? (A) The effectiveness of vitamin C in preventing serious cases of flu increases in direct proportion to the amount of vitamin C taken. 错误,因为group three的数据反应就已经不是成正比例了 (B) Vitamin C is helpful in preventing disease. 没有说明分量的多少 (C) Doses of vitamin C that exceed the standard recommended daily allowance by 500 percent will reduce the incidence of serious cases of flu by 25 percent. 太绝对了 (D) Massive doses of vitamin C can help to prevent serious case of flu. (E) A balanced diet contains less than 250 mg of vitamin C. 错误 Reasoning: there is a study concerning the effects of massive doses of vitamin C. Group one took 1500 mg of Vitamin C daily a year, and few than 9% suffered serious cases of flu. Group two took 250 mg of vitamin C daily a year, and 34% suffered at lest one serious case of flu. Group three took no vitamin C daily a year, 32% suffered at least one serious case of flu. And it is concluded that massive doses of vitamin C can help to prevent serious case of flu to some extant. |
