Although several ancient cultures practiced mummification, mummies from ancient Egypt are generally more well-preserved than mummies of similar antiquity from other cultures. One possible explanation for this difference is that the mummification techniques or materials used by ancient Egyptians were better than those of other cultures. A second, more likely, explanation is that the extremely dry climate of ancient Egypt was largely responsible, given that dryness promotes the preservation of organic remains generally.
Which of the following provide the most support for the argument?
选项
A、The materials used by ancient Egyptians for mummification were not used by any other ancient culture that practiced mummification.
B、Some ancient Egyptian mummies are better preserved than other ancient Egyptian mummies from around the same time.
C、No ancient people living in very damp areas practiced mummification.
D、Bodies from ancient Egyptian tombs dating from before the practice of mummification began are almost as well preserved as ancient Egyptian mummies.
E、Ancient mummies discovered in places other than Egypt have typically not been as well protected as ancient Egyptian mummies were.
答案
A
解析
古埃及用于制造木乃伊的材料都没有在其他文明中使用,这说明古埃及制造木乃伊的材料是独一无二的。原文中说古埃及制造木乃伊的材料要比其他文明更好,这也是在说独一无二。因此,选项A将“更好的材料”这一原因进行了更加具体化的描述,属于“直接加强原因”。因此该选项正确。B项原文要论证的是为什么古埃及的木乃伊比其他文明的木乃伊更好,是古埃及和其他文明相比较。但是该选项是把古埃及自己的木乃伊之间进行比较,属于无关选项,不选。C项只能说明制造木乃伊的人都生活在干旱地区,是制造木乃伊的各个文明的共同之处,无法体现原文中古埃及“更”干旱这一点。不选。D项这是本题最具迷惑性的选项。有的考生会以为古埃及的墓穴中的尸体保存得像木乃伊一样好,证明古埃及很干旱,于是加强了“干旱”这一原因。但是,文章根本没有提到尸体保存得好是因为什么。一定是因为干旱会导致尸体保存得好吗?尽管文章最后一句提到干旱会促进有机物残骸的保存,但是并没有说干旱是促进保存的唯一因素,因此尸体保存得好不见得就能证明古埃及干旱。选项D属于无关选项,不选。E项重复原文,不选。
