The quality of unrefined olive oil is not actually defined in terms of acidity, yet extensive tests have shown that the less free oleic acid an unrefined olive oil contains per liter, the higher its quality. The proportion of free oleic acid that an olive oil contains is an accurate measure of the oil’s acidity.
If the statements above are all true, which of the following conclusions is best supported by them?
- When an olive oil is refined, the concentration of oleic acid in the oil is reduced.
- The quality of an unrefined olive oil can be determined only by accurately measuring its acidity.
- If an unrefined olive oil is intermediate in acidity between two other unrefined olive oils, it will also be intermediate between them in quality.
- Free oleic acid is the only acid that unrefined olive oil contains.
- People who judge the quality of unrefined olive oils actually judge those oils by their acidity, which the judges can taste.
我还是同意A。因为C不能从文中推出的。
acidity of oil不是评价oil quality的标准,所以我们不知道intermediate in acidity是否能证明quality也是中间。所以C是非常没有根据的。
A是对的。free oleic acid 和oil quality成正比。A说了,如果oil 给refine了,oleic acid就少。把两句话合在一起,我们推出,如果oil refine了,oil qulity就高。这个的确没有在原文中说过refined oil,但是我们不要太钻牛角尖,难道提纯的oil质量还比unrefine的oil质量差了?这个不需要原文提供,常识就知道,refine这个词也说明了quality的提高。
如果对于refine的正确意义没有问题的话,那A正好是原文能推出来的结论。 |
