FeiFei-38题答案是不是有错

38. Amphibian populations are declining in numbers worldwide. Not coincidentally, the earth’s ozone layer has been continuously depleted throughout the last 50 years. Atmospheric ozone blocks UV-B, a type of ultraviolet radiation that is continuously produced by the sun, and which can damage genes. Because amphibians lack hair, hide, or feathers to shield them, they are particularly vulnerable to UV-B radiation. In addition, their gelatinous eggs lack the protection of leathery or hard shells. Thus, the primary cause of the declining amphibian population is the depletion of the ozone layer.

Each of the following, if true, would strengthen the argument EXCEPT:

A.       Of the various types of radiation blocked by atmospheric ozone, UV-B is the only type that can damage genes.

B.       Amphibian populations are declining far more rapidly than are the populations of non-amphibian species whose tissues and eggs have more natural protection from UV-B.

C.       Atmospheric ozone has been significantly depleted above all the areas of the world in which amphibian populations are declining.

D.    The natural habitat of amphibians has not become smaller over the past century.

E.       Amphibian populations have declined continuously for the last 50 years.

答案：D

思路：原文论述臭氧层的破坏造成UV-B辐射过量是导致两栖动物数量减少的主要原因。

A：支持说明为什么是UV-B而不是其他原因。
B：支持说明为什么UV-B会降低两栖动物的数量。
C：提供空间论据说明臭氧层受损和两栖动物数量减少的相关性。
D：中性评价。不Weaken也不Strengthen.
E：提供时间论据说明臭氧层受损和两栖动物数量减少的相关性。

技巧：做EXCEPT题如果答案中出现原文没有的专有名词(地名和人名等)一般就选它。

另外一个无讲解的版本给的答案是A，他说的技巧是不是有问题呢？个人觉得UV-B是不是唯一伤害基因的原因与结论臭氧层减少导致两栖动物的减少没有关系呀，各位大牛请指教不胜感激！
