问题 Which of the following statements does the speaker support?
A large study in JAMA Pediatrics reported an 87% increased risk of autism among children born to women taking antidepressants. But 87% higher than what? About 1% of babies worldwide are born with autism. And while an 87% increase in relative risk sounds like a lot, it represents a tiny absolute increase in risk. The study also couldn’t establish for sure whether the drugs were responsible for the autism link.
选项 A、There is a link between antidepressants and autism.
B、The percentage of babies born with autism is high.
C、An 87% increase in relative risk of autism is remarkable.
D、The chance is small that antidepressants could affect the fetus.
答案 D
解析 讲话者就一篇发表在JAMA Pediatrics上的论文提出了质疑，他认为87％虽然是个大数字，但相对于1％的基数来说，还是个很小的概率。听者可能不熟悉autism一词，可能跟不上讲话者的思路，容易被牵着鼻子走，疲于应付语言表层的意思。在听辨时可以关注否定和转折之处，在这些地方讲话者思路开始转换。autism意为“孤独症”，“自闭症”。
