题目:

It is widely assumed that people need to engage in intellectual activities such as solving crossword puzzles or mathematics problems in order to maintain mental sharpness as they age. In fact, however, simply talking to other people—that is, participating in social interaction, which engages many mental and perceptual skills—suffices. Evidence to this effect comes from a study showing that the more social contact people report, the better their mental skills.

Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the force of the evidence cited?

选项:

A、As people grow older, they are often advised to keep exercising their physical and mental capacities in order to maintain or improve them.
B、Many medical conditions and treatments that adversely affect a person’s mental sharpness also tend to increase that person’s social isolation.
C、Many people are proficient both in social interactions and in solving mathematical problems.
D、The study did not itself collect data but analyzed data bearing on the issue from prior studies.
E、The tasks evaluating mental sharpness for which data were compiled by the study were more akin to mathematics problems than to conversation.

In 2000, a mere two dozen products accounted for half the increase in spending on prescription drugs, a phenomenon that is explained not just because of more expensive drugs but by the fact that doctors are writing many more prescriptions for higher-cost drugs.
这题为什么不能选A。图1这个好像就是因为in fact that做原因不够直接,不如直接加名词或者一句话的;所以我感觉B这里不够好。图2这个功能并列,这里是因为not...by...封闭式平行所以前后必须对等吗?因为我感觉但从语义来说,A也算是功能对等。

Heavy commitment by an executive to a course of action, especially if it has worked well in the past, makes it likely to miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear.
别的都明白了,就是不明白一点:E选项这个being,一般看到句首出现doing的形式,不应该下意识去找逻辑主语吗?可是这里的主语是动词后面,is likely to make an executive xx,这样算出现了主语吗?我感觉还是说得不太清楚啊。。。

In virtually any industry, technological improvements increase labor productivity, which is the output of goods and services per person-hour worked. In Parland’s industries, labor productivity is significantly higher than it is in Vergia’s industries. Clearly, therefore, Parland’s industries must, on the whole, be further advanced technologically than Vergia’s are.
