Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted to humans by deer ticks. Generally deer ticks pick up the bacterium while in the larval stage from feeding on infected white-footed mice. However, certain other species on which the larvae feed do not harbor the bacterium. Therefore, if the population of these other species were increased, the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium and hence the number of people contracting Lyme disease-would likely decline.
Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

A. Ticks do not suffer any adverse consequences from carrying the bacterium that causes Lyme disease in humans.
B. There are no known cases of a human's contracting Lyme disease through contact with white-footed mice.
C. A deer tick feeds only once while in the larval stage.
D. A single host animal can be the source of bacteria for many tick larvae.
E. None of the other species on which deer tick larvae feed harbor other bacteria that ticks transmit to humans.
41题养牛那个,看JJ的时候认为答案应该是牛一定吃了草,但我碰到的版本没有这个答案,所以我选的是:如果grass和clover是仅有的食物,牛不是feed exclusively on clover.
阅读全中,
1 广告(这个文章内容几乎跟JJ整理的一模一样,可以直接做题。但是题目比较绕,好几个是问disagreeM和ML的哪个观点的)
2 达芬奇的画,第一题就是很绕的: 以下statement哪个underlies the evidence of NOT attributing to the paint in question是Da Vinci,其实就是选支持画是达芬奇画的那个人的观点的,LZ选的是文艺复兴时期关于画作出处记载的文献不详细(因为反对者说如果是达芬奇画的会有记载云云)
3 FAMILY GAP: 这篇没记错的话应该是第一种观点是说造成GAP的原因是EXPERIENCES不同(第一段),然后第二段质疑提出新观点1:working atttude不同,新观点2:part time工作。第三段再对新观点1和2评估。通篇并没有赞同任何一种观点, 有道题问到主旨,所以没选有驳斥否定的选项,选的应该是对某个现象的三种解释。。
4.生态系统: 这是LZ最后一篇阅读, 一上来就生词一大堆,做的应该很差。考完发现居然也是JJ,但我看的是原始的那个很残的版本,考完回来看了看万能的元叔已经考到古了,考古的版本跟原文已经很相似了。碰到了再读读细节就好。。
