文章：
| Line | Frazier and Mosteller assert that medical research |
| could be improved by a move toward larger, simpler | |
| clinical trials of medical treatments. Currently, | |
| researchers collect far more background information | |
| (5) | on patients than is strictly required for their trials— |
| substantially more than hospitals collect—thereby | |
| escalating costs of data collection, storage, and | |
| analysis. Although limiting information collection | |
| could increase the risk that researchers will overlook | |
| (10) | facts relevant to a study, Frazier and Mosteller |
| contend that such risk, never entirely eliminable from | |
| research, would still be small in most studies. Only | |
| in research on entirely new treatments are new and | |
| unexpected variables likely to arise. | |
| (15) | Frazier and Mosteller propose not only that |
| researchers limit data collection on individual | |
| patients but also that researchers enroll more | |
| patients in clinical trials, thereby obtaining a more | |
| representative sample of the total population with | |
| (20) | the disease under study. Often researchers restrict |
| study participation to patients who have no ailments | |
| besides those being studied. A treatment judged | |
| successful under these ideal conditions can then be | |
| evaluated under normal conditions. Broadening the | |
| (25) | range of trial participants, Frazier and Mosteller |
| suggest, would enable researchers to evaluate a | |
| treatment’s efficacy for diverse patients under various | |
| conditions and to evaluate its effectiveness for | |
| different patient subgroups. For example, the value | |
| (30) | of a treatment for a progressive disease may vary |
| according to a patient’s stage of disease. Patients’ | |
| ages may also affect a treatment’s efficacy. |
题目：
It can be inferred from the passage that a study limited to patients like those mentioned in lines 20–22 would have which of the following advantages over the kind of study proposed by Frazier and Mosteller?
选项:
A、It would yield more data and its findings would be more accurate.
B、It would cost less in the long term, though it would be more expensive in its initial stages.
C、It would limit the number of variables researchers would need to consider when evaluating the treatment under study.
D、It would help researchers to identify subgroups of patients with secondary conditions that might also be treatable.
E、It would enable researchers to assess the value of an experimental treatment for the average patient.
答案:
C

【希望王文静老师回答】2020OG Reading Comprehension P445 第569题：According to the passage, which of the following describes a result of the way in which researchers generally conduct clinical trials? 正确答案给的是A，我错选了B。是因为B中说的是他们收集的“strictly required”资料，但是原文说的是他们收集一些far more background information than strictly required，所以错吗？是否前面，compromise the accuracy 也是错的？（我隐约感觉是错的但是不知道原因）

麻烦请王文静老师解答，谢谢。OG Reading Comprehension P409 第503题：According to the passage, which of the following describes a result of the way in which researchers generally conduct clinical trials? 正确答案给的是A，我错选了C。能够理解问题问的是 researchers general的试验行为导致的结果，但是认为C选项的意思也符合。选择理由定位到了原文(10)that researchers will overlook facts relevant to a study, 请问是否facts relevant to a study并不能换成variables？还是因为其他原因导致了C选项是错误的？谢谢您。
