[問題]OG11TH Q75

[kaori110]

Although aspirin has been proven to eliminate moderate fever associated with some illnesses, many doctors no longer routinely recommend its use for this purpose. A moderate fever stimulates the activity of the body's disease-fighting white blood cells and also inhibits the growth of many strains of disease-causing bacteria.
If the statements above are true, which of the following conclusions is most strongly supported by them?
(A) Aspirin, an effective painkiller, alleviates the pain and discomfort of many illnesses.
(B) Aspirin can prolong a patient's illness by eliminating moderate fever helpful in fighting some diseases.
(C) Aspirin inhibits the growth of white blood cells, which are necessary for fighting some illnesses.
(D) The more white blood cells a patient's body produces, the less severe the patient's illness will be.
(E) The focus of modern medicine is on inhibiting the growth of disease-causing bacteria within the body.

這一題答案是B
但是感覺怪怪的
題目的意思不是說
aspirin - 會減輕一些疾病的適當發燒現象
moderate fever - 可以刺激白血球的disease- fighting 和 阻止一些bacteria
那B選項是什麼樣的思考咧
所以aspirin 會延長疾病 ??
還有 stains of在這裡是什麼意思?
請賜教
謝謝

many strains of ~ 很多種~

題目中的二個推論:
1.使用aspirin-->減輕適當發燒現象
2.適當的發燒-->刺激白血球的活動力-->阻止會導致生病的細菌之成長

二者結合之後:
使用aspirin-->減輕適當發燒現象-->無法刺激白血球的活動力-->導致生病的細菌滋長-->加重或延長病情(選項B)

其他選項錯誤的原因
A.止痛的效果,題目中未提及,不相關
C.不是抑制白血球的生長,只是無法刺激白血球的活動力(二者意義上有所不同)
D.白血球愈多,病情愈不嚴重,題目無此推論,且常理中,白血球過多也是一種疾病
E.現代醫藥的焦點目標,題目中未提及,不相關

個人以為C是最易混肴的選項,不妨多咀嚼OG11的解釋,或許會有一番新的體會!
