1. The recent increases in health insurance premiums are unnecessary and excessive. While the inflation rate is and has been stable at 5 percent for the past five years, during the same period the average cost of health insurance has increased annually by 10 to 20 percent. Recent studies show that the population is healthier now than ever before, and thus indicate that the insurance companies' claims of higher health-care costs are unfounded and merely reflect the quest for higher profits.

Which one of the following statements, if true undermines the conclusion in the passage? (A) The incidence of lung cancer among men who smoke has decreased in recent years. (B) Improvements in health have occurred because of a dramatic increase in the use of expensive medical equipment, tests, and drugs. (C) Increased health insurance premiums will force some people to drop their medical coverage, thus adversely affecting their future health. (D) Health insurance currently covers fewer health problems than it did in the past (E) Though there are fewer health insurance companies today, their earnings are higher than they have ever been.

答案ｂ。我选ｃ。我不明白药价上涨关保险什么事情？　为什么ｂ对？我想ｃ说引起未来健康下降趋势，所以保险还是要涨吗。是不是？

原文推理：因为扣除通货膨胀率，保险费在涨，而人的健康却越来越好。所以要求更高的保险费是不合理的。B说医疗费用飞涨（这些费用由保险公司支付），即保险的成本在飞涨。所以WEAKEN结论。C说的保险费涨之后的后果与结论无关。原文的结论是涨保险费合不合理。
