[問題] TTGWD11-Q19

[dibert8]

In Rubaria, excellent health care is available to virtually the entire population, whereas very few people in Terland receive adequate medical care. Yet, although the death rate for most diseases is higher in Terland than in Rubaria, the percentage of the male population that dies from prostate cancer is significantly higher in Rubaria than in Terland.

Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disparity between the prostate cancer death rate in Rubaria and Terland?

A. Effective treatment of prostate cancer in its early stages generally requires medical techniques available in Rubaria but not in Terland.
B. Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.
C. Being in poor general health does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
D. It is possible to decrease one’s risk of getting prostate cancer by eating certain kinds of foods, and such foods are more readily available in Rubaria than in Terland.
E. Among men in Rubaria, the death rate from prostate cancer is significantly higher for those who do not take full advantage of Rubaria’s health care system than for those who do.



Ans : B

不解 death rate 和 average life expectancy 有什麼關係? e.g. 癌症死亡率高,不見得平均壽命短,反之亦然.何況單一癌症扯上所有男性的壽命!範圍不一樣,要如何比呢? (i.e. 不是所有男人都只會得 prostate cancer)
覺得 (C) 比較好:健康不佳,不一定得 prostate cancer 多;少 prostate cancer 自然死得少囉!

(B)得到這種cancer的男性年齡大於T國的平均壽命
(也就是說T國會活到這個歲數的人不多，得到機會也就少了)

(C)does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer
不表示一定會死，題目是指死亡率

這題也想了好久，有錯請指正，謝謝

PS.題外話，我覺得dibert8真的很認真發言，對這個版的貢獻很大，大感謝!!

感謝集思廣益,對我幫助很大!
最近發覺一種選項:給一個說法,有時像自我解嘲,有時像憤世忌俗,看似有理,實不相關 (i.e. 選項裡沒有相關的字),就像 (C) 的長相,當找不到答案的時候挺不容易排除,因為看似合理,選下去都錯.
e.g. TTGWD11-Q30 的 (E) 選項.

救人喔!我是推不出這個理論!

T國有cancer的男性比平均年齡老

好奇怪,這樣也是會死阿,和疾病死亡率有何關係?

[sunnyblue13s]

他的意思是~~T國的人死的比較早

能活到比較老的人....自然少.....人少得到癌症的人自人就少~~

得癌的人少~~死的人當然也少囉~

原來是這樣阿,感恩~~~~~
