. Pollutants in the atmosphere can cause acid rain
(rain with high acidity levels). While acid rain in
itself cannot significantly affect the acidity of bodies
of water into which it falls, it can greatly increase
the acidity of nearby lakes by increasing the amount
of decaying matter on a forest floor. A recent
increase in the acidity of the water in Forest Lake,
therefore, surely indicates that the rain falling nearby
has become more acid.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously
weakens the argument?
(A) Even in areas without significant amounts
of acid rain, most lakes in regions with
vegetation similar to the vegetation around
Forest Lake have acidity levels higher than
those of other lakes.
(B) Recent air-quality tests in the region around
Forest Lake have revealed a slight increase in
the amount of pollutants in the air.
(C) Large-scale logging, which was recently
begun in the forest surrounding Forest
Lake, has increased the amount of decaying
matter on the forest floor.
(D) There is some disagreement among scientists
about exactly how pollutants in the atmosphere
cause acid rain.
(E) Decaying matter exists on all forest floors
and is an important factor in maintaining thehealthy growth of the forests.
我知道可以举出他因,答案选C但是为什么不选A呢?A也说明了vegetation是他因啊?
Neither the Sami nor the Kephrian delegations
attended the international conference. Beforehand. the
delegations of Daqua and Kephria. allies whose
governments had grievances against Tessia. officially
announced that one or both of the two would stay away
if the Tessian delegation attended the conference. In
response, the Sami delegation officially announced that
it would definitely attend if both the Daquan and
Kephrian delegations stayed away.
If the statements given are all true and all the
delegations adhered to their official announcements.
it must also be true that the
(A) Daquan delegation attended the conference
(B) Daquan delegation did not attend the conference
(C) Sami government had no grievance against
Tessia
(D) Tessian delegation did not attend the conference
(E) Tessian delegation made no official
announcement regarding its attendance at the
conference
答案选E,可是我推来推去都觉得是A,请大神赐教,谢谢!
