英语四六级指导系列:阅读中的逻辑词汇
19题考察为何TT的从业人员同意接受Emily的实验。在文章三段最后两句,我们找到 了标志词“because”,这两句话阐述了某个因果关系。
Yet Rosa could not find any evidence that it works. To provide such proof, TT therapists would have to sit down for independent testing--something they haven't been eager to do, even though James Randi has offered more than $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate the existence of a human energy field. (He's had one taker so far. She failed.) A skeptic might conclude that TT practitioners are afraid to lay their beliefs on the line. But who could turn down an innocent fourth-grader? Says Emily: “I think they didn't take me very seriously because I'm a kid."
最后两句的大意为:谁会拒绝一个四年级的小孩?Emily说:“因为我是个孩子,所以他们没把我当回事。”
根据这两句话我们可以推断TT从业人员之所以参见Emily的试验,是因为他们认为Emily只是一个小孩子,参加她的试验应当没有任何危险。因此,19题D选项“They sensed no harm in a little girl's experiment.”(他们感到一个小女孩的实验没什么危险)是正确选项。(编辑:hxw.red)
