Among people who experience migraine headaches, some experience what doctors call "common" migraines, whereas others experience "classical" migraines.Siblings and spouses of common migraine sufferers are themselves twice as likely as the general population to experience common migraines.Siblings of classical migraine sufferers are four times more likely than the general population to experience classical migraines, whereas spouses of classical migraine sufferers are no more likely than the general population to experience such headaches.
The information above provides the most support for which of the following hypotheses?
(A) Susceptibility to classical migraines is more dependent on hereditary factors than is susceptibility to common migraines.
(B) Unmarried adults are more likely to suffer from classical migraines than they are to suffer from common migraines.
(C) People who do not experience migraine headaches are unlikely to have spouses who are migraine headache sufferers.
(D) Children of people who suffer from common migraines are not more likely than the general population to experience a common migraine.
(E) Between one-quarter and one-half of the general population suffer from either common or classical migraine headaches.
It is illegal to advertise prescription medications in Hedland except directly to physicians, either by mail or in medical journals.A proposed law would allow general advertising of prescription medications.Opponents object that the general population lacks the specialized knowledge to evaluate such advertisements and might ask their physicians for inappropriate medications.But since physicians have the final say as to whether to prescribe a medication for a patient, inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common.
Which of the following would it be most useful to establish in order to evaluate the argument?
(A) Whether advertising for prescription medications might alert patients to the existence of effective treatments for minor ailments that they had previously thought to be untreatable
(B) Whether some people might go to a physician for no reason other than to ask for a particular medication they have seen advertised
(C) Whether the proposed law requires prescription-medication advertisements directed to the general public to provide the same information as do advertisements directed to physicians
(D) Whether advertisements for prescription medications are currently an important source of information about newly available medications for physicians
(E) Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired 作者: applemay 时间: 2011-12-16 21:05
所以选E 哈~~你看文章中心的出发点是 physician 嚒，，所以你在选择的时候出发点应该是physician 的，，如果是C的话，就是proposed law 了，，再说C的这个也是没有关系的选项哈~~
不知道你清楚了没有哈~~^^作者: taotao35 时间: 2011-12-17 06:53
LZ能给个答案吗？
我做的第一题答案是A，第二题答案E
第一题是conculsion,第二题是evaluation the argument
Among people who experience migraine headaches, some experience what doctors call "common" migraines, whereas others experience "classical" migraines.Siblings and spouses of common migraine sufferers are themselves twice as likely as the general population to experience common migraines.Siblings of classical migraine sufferers are four times more likely than the general population to experience classical migraines, whereas spouses of classical migraine sufferers are no more likely than the general population to experience such headaches.
原文的推理： physicians make the decision to prescribe medicine 推出 inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common
也就是说反正医生会做决定开不开药，所以就不会开错药了。
取非削弱以后要找的选项就是“医生还是会开错药”
(E) Whether physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired
把E取非。physicians would give in to a patient's demand for a prescription medication chosen by the patient when the one originally prescribed by the physician fails to perform as desired
医生会根据病人的意愿开药，当医生给病人开得药病人不满意时
削弱了文章，说明医生还是会开错药。
A取非。advertising for prescription medications might alert patients to the existence of effective treatments for minor ailments that they had previously thought to be untreatable
和开不开错药无关
B取非。some people might go to a physician for no reason other than to ask for a particular medication they have seen advertised
B实际上加强的文章，但是和开不开错药无关
C取非。the proposed law requires prescription-medication advertisements directed to the general public to provide the same information as do advertisements directed to physicians。
是否提供同样地信息与开不开错药无关
D取非。advertisements for prescription medications are currently an important source of information about newly available medications for physicians
Premises: Since migraine headaches are believed to be caused by food allergies, remove the food a patient are allegic to would stop the headaches. But it did not.
Conclusion: Based on these fact, the author says somthing else must cause migraine headaches.
A weakening-type question can have many potential solutions.
If you read the stimulus carefully, you would be drawn to the following statement "eliminate those foods to which the patients have been demonstrated to have allergic migraine reactions." If you do not know which food causes the allergice migraine reaction, you might not be able to eliminate the true cause of the headache.
Answer Choice A points out this aspect to weaken the argument in the stimulus. Thus, A is the correct answer作者: genius1824 时间: 2011-12-20 06:27
Focus on the conclusion: inappropriate prescriptions would not become more common.
If E is right, inappropriate prescriptions by the doctor could happen due to the pressure from the patient.
