尽管lawyer是大神级人物,我在这里还是要质疑一下lawyer在二楼的回答。文中有 Most landfill leachate is sent directly to sewage treatment plants, but not all sewage plants are capable of handling the highly contaminated water.这一句很明确的说明了D选项的内容。所以lawyer的解释不正确。我认为之所以D不正确,是因为本题是infer题,而D选项的内容是原文有的,不是推出来的,所以不选D。
92. Baking for winter holidays is a tradition that may have a sound medical basis. In midwinter, when days are short, many people suffer from a specific type of seasonal depression caused by lack of sunlight. Carbohydrates, both sugars and starches, boost the brain’s levels of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that improves the mood. In this respect, carbohydrates act on the brain in the same way as some antidepressants. Thus, eating holiday cookies may provide an effective form of self-prescribed medication.
Which one of the following can be properly inferred from the passage?
A. Seasonal depression is one of the most easily treated forms of depression.
B. Lack of sunlight lowers the level of serotonin in the brain.
C. People are more likely to be depressed in midwinter than at other times of the year.
D. Some antidepressants act by changing the brain’s level of serotonin.
E. Raising the level of neurotransmitters in the brain effectively relieves depression.
