B 不对啊，题目只说medical research ，没说是现在的还是改进以后的啊。

这个正是我想说的，不过，我认为，如果是没有改进的medical research，B就有道理了，因为选取的样本都是没有其它病的，所以由此得出的treatment对这些人最有效

D肯定不对，Line10说到"Although limiting information collection could increase the risk"，从这句就可以看出D说反了，应该是more inaccurate。虽然文章后面又说到"such risk ... would still be small in most studies"，这也顶多说明risk没有太大变化，medical research is almost as accurate as before，绝不可能是more accurate

E没有问题，significant variables就是原文的factors relevant to a study，更何况还有一个may be，强调了可能性，所以significant的说法是对的

To be discussed ...

   我一开始选B,但是发现E是正确的

   注意问题:According to the passage,意思是原文中说明的

      B显然是个infer的答案

请教gwd8的Q4(gwd-8-4)

Q4:
According to the passage, Frazier and Mosteller believe which of the following about
medical research?

A.     It is seriously flawed as presently conducted because researchers overlook facts that are relevant to the subject of their research.

"Although limiting information collection could increase the risk that researchers will overlook facts relevant to a study" so A is wrong, it's could ..not a serious flaw

B.     It tends to benefit certain subgroups of patients disproportionately.
not mention

C.     It routinely reveals new variables in research on entirely new treatments.

it's "new variables are likely to increase" so it's a rountinely

D.     It can be made more accurate by limiting the amount of information researchers collect.
It's about the reaserchers can evalute the efficiency for diverse patients, either the proposed one or the former experiment is more accurate is not mentioned

E.      It cannot be free of the risk that significant variables may be overlooked.
significant variables = facts relavent to a study; since there is always the risk, it therefore cannot be "free"

我认为选D，整个第一段就是在说limiting the amount of information researchers collect可以improve medical research.

Although limiting information collection could increase the risk that researchers will overlook facts relevant to a study

这句话只是表示作者的一个让步语气，说尽管limiting information collection 可能导致一些和研究相关的事实被忽略。

但是作者马上强调Frazier and Mosteller contend that such risk, nerver entirely eliminable   from research, would still be small in most studies

总的说，作者认为采用limiting information collection 可以improve medical research，尽管存在忽略一些事实的风险，但是风险不大，

To be disscussing...........

原来选B，后来仔细看了原文，B肯定错，B的意思“医疗调查本身比例不均匀地有利于特定病人子集”，无论医疗调查本身如何，跟治疗结果是没有关系的。

根本不用考虑D，“限制数据收集使调查更精确”，原文提到地是“风险不可避免”，就是说“至少不会更精确”。

赞成E。significant不是致命因素，因为它修饰的是variable即原文的facts而不是risk，与原文相符合。

C的定位在L16--18,注意ONLY这个词!

所以ROUTINELY是错的!

我坚决支持C！

没错C的定位在L16-18，请再仔细读一下这句话。

理由如下：

1）only不能否定C的正确性。C的句意基本符合L16-18。

  C: It (medical research) routinely reveals new variables in research on entirely new treatments.

      医疗研究常常在对全新医疗法的研究中揭示出新的变量。

L16-18: Only in research on entirely new treatments are new and unexpected variables likely to arise.

      只有在对全新医疗法的研究中，新的且未料到的变量才很可能出现。

请问这两句话有实质上的矛盾吗？routinely对应的是likely（很可能的），C中少了L16-18的only，加上或去掉only，实际意思都一样。

It (medical research) routinely reveals new variables (only) in research on entirely new treatments.

2) L16-18是一句倒装句，是ETS的爱用考点，考一下大家有没有读懂这句话。

3) E的错误正如大家讨论的，错在significant。

我也选D

D是不对的.原文:

medical research could be improved by

a move toward larger, simpler clinical

Line  trials of medical treatments.

并没不是指more accurate.
