The Great Sphinx is a huge statue in Egypt that has a lion’s body with a man’s head. The face of the Sphinx has long been claimed to be that of pharaoh Khafre, who lived around 2600 B.C., but it cannot be: erosion patterns recently discovered on the lion’s legs can only have been caused by heavy rains, and the Sahara has not had heavy rains in over 10,000 years.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument?
选项
A、The face of the Sphinx bears a resemblance to the faces on certain stylized statues dating from both before and after the reign of Khafre.
B、Other erosion patterns that appear on the body of the Sphinx are of a sort that could be caused by wind and sand alone
C、Other than the Sphinx, there are no surviving sculptures that have been claimed to portray the face of Khafre.
D、In the last 10,000 years the climate of Egypt has been so dry that even rains that are not heavy have been extremely infrequent.
E、The face of the Sphinx is small relative to the rest of the head, indicating that the face may have been recarved long after the Sphinx was built.
答案
E
解析
A.The face of the Sphinx bears a resemblance to the faces on certain stylized statues dating from both before and after the reign of Khafre.狮身人面像的脸和Khafre法老统治之前以及之后的风格化雕像的脸很像。
解析:Khafre法老统治之前以及之后的风格化雕像上刻的也未必是Khafre法老的脸,因此无法削弱本文“不是Khafre法老的脸”的结论。不选。
B. Other erosion patterns that appear on the body ofthe Sphinx are of a sort that could be caused by wind and sand alone.狮身人面像身体上其他的腐蚀痕迹仅仅由风和沙导致。
解析:本选项没有明确说明导致身体上其他腐蚀痕迹的风和沙是哪一年的。如果是公元前2600年,则有可能削弱原文,如果风沙也是10,000年前的,反而是在加强原文,不选。
C.Other than the Sphinx,there are no surviving sculptures that have been claimed to portray the face of Khafre.除了狮身人面像以外,没有任何现存的雕塑被认为雕刻了Khafre法老的脸。
解析:本题只讨论狮身人面像,与其他雕塑无关,不选。
D.In the last 10,000 years the climate of Egypt has been so dry that even rains that are not heavy have been extremely infrequent.在过去10,000年里,埃及的气候很干燥以至于不大的雨都极其罕见。
解析:该选项加强原文中“撒哈拉已经有超过10,000年没有下过大雨”的说法,不选。
E.The face of the Sphinx is small relative to the rest of the head,indicating that the face may have been recarved long after the Sphinx was built.狮身人面像的脸相比于头部其他地方要小一些,这表明脸有可能是在狮身人面像建造之后很久才刻上去的。
解析:该选项说明狮身人面像的脸和身体的其他部位不是同一时期建造的,削弱了原文的隐含假设。正确。
