问题 The only purpose for which a particular type of tape is needed is to hold certain surgical wounds closed for ten days— the maximum time such wounds need tape. Newtape is a new brand of this type of tape. Newtape’s salespeople claim that Newtape will improve healing because Newtape adheres twice as long as the currently used tape does. Which of the following statements, if true, would most seriously call into question the claim made by Newtape’ s salespeople?
选项 A、Most surgical wounds take about ten days to heal.
B、Most surgical tape is purchased by hospitals and clinics rather than by individual surgeons.
C、The currently used tape’s adhesiveness is more than sufficient to hold wounds closed for ten days.
D、Neither Newtape nor the currently used tape adheres well to skin that has not been cleaned.
E、Newtape’s adhesion to skin that has been coated with a special chemical preparation is only half as good as the currently used tape’s adhesion to such coated skin.
答案 C
解析 本题让我们去质疑：Newtape’s salespeople的宣称，因此读题点应为段落最后一句话，尤其是“because Newtape adheres twice as long as the currently used tape does”。另外，还要注意第一句里面的only，表明某棉纱带的惟一作用除了10天的时间外没有任何目的。如果现在的棉纱带粘附能力足以保持需10天愈合的伤口，如(D)所说，那就表明现在的棉纱带正是最好了，粘附时间更长的New—tape毫无意义，所以Newtape能提高治愈效果受到了质疑，因此(C)正确。由于段落中并未告知现有胶带能用多少天，所以(A)无任何意义；棉纱带由谁购买与推理无关，所以(B)不对；(D)指出的共性，多出现在support答案中；(E)易误选，但上面的第一个句子里的the only purpose表明棉纱带除了时间长短外，没有任何别的用处，所以(E)不对。
