请问og-82

82. Excavation of the ancient city of Kourion on the island of Cyprus revealed a pattern of debris and collapsed buildings typical of towns devastated by earthquakes. Archaeologists have hypothesized that the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D.365.



Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the archaeologists’ hypothesis?



(A) Bronze ceremonial drinking vessels that are often found in graves dating from years preceding and following A.D.365 were also found in several graves near Kourion.



(B) No coins minted after A.D.365 were found in Kourion, but coins minted before that year were found in abundance.



(C) Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D.365.



(D) Several small statues carved in styles current in Cyprus in the century between A.D.300 and 400 were found in Kourion.



(E) Stone inscriptions in a form of the Greek alphabet that was definitely used in Cyprus after A.D.365 were found in Kourion.



答案是b, 我想请教的是c错在什么地方？是否因为c只是重复提干的内容，没有提出证据，所以不具有说服力？另外，在support题型中，我记得有这种直接支持的方法，为什么这题不行？谢谢。

C是承认有地震这个事实，但并不能证明城市就毁于该地震，所以对科学家的假设（城市毁于地震）没有任何作用。 ...

    补充一下：

此题为support类型，从题干中可以抓住两点需要support的地方，即destruction（the effect）和in A.D365（the time）。那么如chenjie所说choice C only support 第一点：destructuion，而没有support第二点：the time.

choice B显然上述两点都得到了support。

推论是 Most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D.365。具体被摧毁的年代应该是支持的重点，因为题干中已经说明废墟有是被地震摧毁的特征。所以B项指出AD365年出现文化断裂，支持了推论。
个人理解。

Although most modern histories of Cyprus mention that an earthquake occurred near the island in A.D.365, the event occurred near the island in A.D. 365     deos not mean that     the destruction was due to a major earthquake known to have occurred near the island in A.D.365.

不是很明白楼上gg的解释，能否详细些？

C 并不是直接支持, 而是用欲证明的论证来支持
