问题 单项选择题

在1988年,波罗的海有很大比例的海豹死于病毒性疾病;然而在苏格兰的沿海一带,海豹由于病毒性死亡的比率大约是波罗的海的一半。波罗的海海豹血液内的污染性物质水平比苏格兰海豹的高得多。因为人们知道污染性物质能削弱海洋中的哺乳动物对病毒感染的抵抗力,所以波罗的海中海豹的死亡率高很可能是由于它们的血液中污染性物质的含量较高所致。
下面哪一点,如果正确,能给上述论述提供最多的附加支持

A.绝大多数死亡的苏格兰海豹都是老的或不健康的海豹。
B.杀死苏格兰海豹的那种病毒击垮受损害的免疫系统的速度要比击垮健康的免疫系统的速度快得多。
C.在波罗的海海豹的血液中发现的污染性物质的水平略有波动。
D.在波罗的海发现的污染性物质种类与在苏格兰沿海水域发现的大相径庭。
E.1988年,在波罗的海内的除了海豹以外的海洋性哺乳动物死于病毒性疾病的死亡率要比苏格兰海岸沿海水域的高得多。

答案

解析:题干的论证结论是“波罗的海中海豹的死亡率高”的原因是由于“海洋中污染性物质的含量较高”,E选项属于例证法加强,有A有B。
