A study of marital relationships in which one partner's sleeping and waking cycles differ from those of the other partner reveals that such couples share fewer activities with each other and have more violent arguments than do couples in a relationship in which both partners follow the same sleeping and waking patterns. Thus, mismatched sleeping and waking cycles can seriously jeopardize a marriage.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
46. A study fo marital relationships in which on e partner's sleeping and waking cycles differ from those of the other partner reveals that such couples share fewer activities with each other and have more violent arguments than do couples in a relationship in which both partners follow the same sleeping and waking patterns. Thus, mismatched slleping and waking cycles can seriously jeopardize a marriage.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument above?
(A) Married couples in which both spouses follow the same sleeping and waking patterns also occasionally have arguments that can jeopardize the couple's marriage. (B) The sleeping and waking cycles of individuals tend to vary from season to season. (C) The individuals who have sleeping and waking cycles that differ significantly from those of their spouses tend to argue little with colleagues at work. (D) People in unhappy marriages have been found to express hostility by adopting a different sleeping and waking cycle from that of their spouses. (E) According to a recent study, most people's sleeping and waking cycles can be controlled and modified easily.
找到解释啦! D. Correct. Essentially the passage is telling us that mismatches sleeping leads to bad marriages. Because of X, Y must happen. D gives us the information to counter it by reversing the argument and stating Because of Y, X must happen. D states that the mismatched sleeping is not a cause of bad marriages, but rather an effect of the bad marriage. The marriage is bad first so the couples chose different sleeping habits.
Premise: different sleeping and waking cycles btw couples lead to violent arguments Conclusion: disparant life cycles cause unhappy marriage
Choice D is a very classical correct answer, reverse the cause and effect. D points out it is unhappy marriage cuases different sleeping cycle. As for E, it is irrelevant because it fails to attack the conclusion.

[/quote] E为什么无关咧?我顺着你的思路讲,cycle好调整说明睡眠不一致的问题好解决,但你看看题干,题干是让你证明 mismatched sleeping patterns can seriously jeopardize a marriage,E只能说明问题好解决,但是没证明在问题没解决之前,这个问题不会对婚姻造成影响。不知道这样的解释你明白了没?
