问题 单项选择题

如果一鱼塘安装了机械充气机,鱼塘中的水就能保持合适的含氧量。所以,既然约翰的鱼塘没有安装机械充气机,那么他的鱼塘的含氧量一定不合适。没有合适含氧量的水,鱼儿就不能生气勃勃地发育成长。所以,约翰鱼塘里的鱼不会蓬勃地生长。下面哪个论证含有以上论证中的一个推理错误( )

A.如果明矾被加进泡菜的盐水中,盐水就可以取代泡菜中的水分。因此,既然 Paula没有向她的泡菜的盐水中加明矾,那么泡菜中的水就不能被盐水所取代。除非它们的水分被盐水取代,否则泡菜就不会保持新鲜。于是,Paula的泡菜不会保持新鲜。

B.如果果胶被加入果酱,果酱就会凝成胶状。没有像果胶这样的凝固剂,果酱不会凝成胶状。所以为了使他的果酱胶化,Harry应当向他的果酱中加入像果胶这样的凝固剂。

C.如果储藏的土豆不暴露于乙烯中,土豆就不会发芽。甜菜不释放乙稀。因此,如果Sara把她的土豆和甜菜放在一块,土豆就不会发芽。

D.如果胡萝卜在秋季时被麦杆等覆盖,胡萝卜可一直在地下呆到春季。没有覆盖物,胡萝卜就要遭受霜击。因此,既然Kevin在秋季时用覆盖物把他的胡萝卜盖上了,那么他的胡萝卜就可以安全地留在地下。

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.

Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.

Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
