我用的是排除法
must be true就是不能有新的东西出现， 所以AB第一眼就否了prerequisite这个是推测出来的
C.Those who have neither hay fever nor asthma comprise less than 5 percent of the total population. 正文只提到Over 95 percent of people who have asthma also suffer from hay fever.从原文的信息也不可能推出total population的信息来，所以不对

D. The number of people who have both of these ailments is greater than the number of people who have only one of them.原文说Asthma, a bronchial condition, is much less common ailment than hay fever，所以谁多谁少不知道

E. The percentage of people suffering from hay fever who also have asthma is lower than 95 percent. 对
