13. Wood smoke contains dangerous toxins that cause changes in human cells. Because wood smoke presents such a high health risk, legislation is needed to regulate the use of open-air fires and wood-burning stoves.

Which of the following, if true, provides the most support for the argument above?

a.The amount of dangerous toxins contained in wood smoke is much less than the amount contained in an equal volume of automobile exhaust.

b.Within the jurisdiction covered by the proposed legislation, most heating and cooking is done with oil or natural gas.

c.Smoke produced by coal-burning stoves is significantly more toxic than smoke from wood-burning stoves.

d.No significant beneficial effect on air quality would result if open-air fires were banned within the jurisdiction covered by the proposed legislation.

A drug that is highly effective in treating many types of infection can, at present, be obtained only from the bark of the ibora, a tree that is quite rare in the wild. It takes the bark of 5,000 trees to make one kilogram of the drug. It follows, therefore, that continued production of the drug must inevitably lead to the ibora’s extinction.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) The drug made from ibora bark is dispensed to doctors from a central authority.
(B) The drug made from ibora bark is expensive to produce.
(C) The leaves of the ibora are used in a number of medical products.
(D) The ibora can be propagated from cuttings and grown under cultivation.
(E) The ibora generally grows in largely inaccessible places.

D是正确答案,没有疑问.但是感觉E也可以削弱,要是这树一般都生存于珠孟朗玛峰上,估计就很难被绝迹了,想拿它来做药也采不着.

28.   Many breakfast cereals are fortified with vitamin supplements. Some of these cereals provide 100 percent of the recommended daily requirement of vitamins. Nevertheless, a well-balanced breakfast, including a variety of foods, is a better source of those vitamins than are such fortified breakfast cereals alone.

Which of the following, if true, would most strongly support the position above?

(A) In many foods, the natural combination of vitamins with other nutrients makes those vitamins more usable by the body than are vitamins added in vitamin supplements.

(B) People who regularly eat cereals fortified with vitamin supplements sometimes neglect to eat the foods in which the vitamins occur naturally.

(C) Foods often must be fortified with vitamin supplements because naturally occurring vitamins are removed during processing.

(D) Unprocessed cereals are naturally high in several of the vitamins that are usually added to fortified breakfast cereals.

(E) Cereals containing vitamin supplements are no harder to digest than similar cereals without added vitamins.

分析：OG的解释是说A选项是加强文章结论的一种说法。文章的结论是well－balanced breakfast是一个better resource of vitamin。为什么A选项的能使身体更好吸收的维生素就是well－balance的呢？我错选为D，D事实上是weaken的说法，也就是说fortified cereal较好。
