问题     Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age. A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seem to hold true for the general population. Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first year. Boys have more colds than girls up to age three. After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys, and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two.
    The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity. Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually. One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children. Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections. The study also found that economics plays an important role. As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases. Families with the lowest income suffer about a third more colds than families at the upper end. Lower income generally forces people to live in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person. Low income may also adversely influence diet. The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lowering resistance generally.
From the passage, ______are most likely to catch colds?
选项 A、infant boys
B、young girls
C、teenage boys
D、elderly women
答案A
解析 推断题型通读全文，文章提到婴儿、某年龄段的男孩、女孩、孕妇易患感冒，后面还谈到家庭经济状况与感冒间的联系；但其中作者提到：Infants are the most cold-ridden group，averaging more than six colds in their first year．Boys have more colds than gifts up to age three．(婴儿是感冒的最易感人群，在第一年平均要患六次以上；三岁前，男孩比女孩更易患感冒)，因此A为答案。
