Brain scans of people exposed to certain neurotoxins reveal brain damage identical to that found in people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. This fact shows not only that these neurotoxins cause this type of brain damage, but also that the brain damage itself causes Parkinson’s disease. Thus brain scans can be used to determine who is likely to develop Parkinson’s disease. The argument contains which one of the following reasoning errors? (A) It fails to establish that other methods that can be used to diagnose Parkinson’s disease are less accurate than brain scans. (B) It overestimates the importance of early diagnosis in determining appropriate treatments for people suffering from Parkinson’s disease. (C) It mistakes a correlation between the type of brain damage described and Parkinson’s disease for a causal relation between the two. (D) It assumes that people would want to know as early as possible whether they were likely to develop Parkinson’s disease.(B) (E) It neglects to specify how the information provided by brain scans could be used either in treating Parkinson’s disease or in monitoring the progression of the disease. 正确答案选B,但我觉得B无关,文章没有关于诊断病(diagnosis)和治疗(treatment)两者之间关系的信息。文章主要是讲神经毒素造成脑部损伤和P病造成的脑部损伤一样,然后推理出神经毒素造成了P病,从而可以通过可以利用脑部扫描来发现神经毒素来预测谁会得p病。所以我的答案选C 盼NN帮助解答! |
