A researcher discovered that people who have low levels of immune-system activity tend to score much lower on tests of mental health than do people with normal or high immune-system activity. The researcher concluded from this experiment that the immune system protects against mental illness as well as against physical disease.
The researcher’s conclusion depends on which of the following assumptions?
A. High immune-system activity protects against mental illness better than normal immune-system activity does.
B. Mental illness is similar to physical disease in its effects on body systems.
C. People with high immune-system activity cannot develop mental illness.
D. Mental illness does not cause people’s immune-system activity to decrease.
E. Psychological treatment of mental illness is not as effective as is medical treatment.
答案D
這題主要考A→B的論述中, 必須假設前提不可為B→A
選項中的B是唯一有提到mental illness與physical disase的關聯
也恰巧解釋了題目中最後一句The researcher concluded from this experiment that the immune system protects against mental illness as well as against physical disease.
看了好幾次, 還是容易被這個選項拐騙...
