Q30:

The ancient Nubians inhabited an area in which typhus occurs, yet surprisingly few of their skeletons show the usual evidence of this disease.  The skeletons do show deposits of tetracycline, an antibiotic produced by a bacterium common in Nubian soil.  This bacterium can flourish on the dried grain used for making two staples of the Nubian diet, beer and bread.  Thus, tetracycline in their food probably explains the low incidence of typhus among ancient Nubians.

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument relies?

1. Infectious diseases other than typhus to which the ancient Nubians were exposed are unaffected by tetracycline.
2. Tetracycline is not rendered ineffective as an antibiotic by exposure to the processes involved in making bread and beer.
3. Typhus cannot be transmitted by ingesting bread or beer contaminated with the infectious agents of this disease.
4. Bread and beer were the only items in the diet of the ancient Nubians which could have contained tetracycline.
5. Typhus is generally fatal.

为什么是B,C不行么?

谢谢拉

 结论是the low incidence of typhus among ancient Nubians.

而C是Typhus cannot be transmitted by ingesting bread or beer contaminated with the infectious agents of this disease.

是说对已经染病的人的作用，无关

化石中typhus少，且有抗体tet存在。Tet这种抗体由土壤一种细菌产生，细菌藉由做面包与啤酒的乾稻草产生。

这些食物可以解释typhus少的原因   A.other than 无关 B.取否 无效 违反结论 C.对染病的人作用 无关 D.the only太绝对 E.  fatal 无关
