问题     A hoard of coins recently unearthed at an ancient Carthagian site bear an image of a face in profile with what appears to be a large mole on the cheek. Pointing out that an artist would be unlikely to include such a specific detail in a generalized portrayal of a face, some archaeologists have concluded that these coins portray an actual individual rather than an idealized type. However, this conclusion is unwarranted, since ________.
    Which of the following most logically completes the argument?
选项 A、archaeologists cannot determine the actual identity of the individual portrayed just from the likeness that appears on the coins
B、it cannot be established with certainty that Carthagian artists were on the whole less skillful at portraying human face than artists of other cultures
C、none of the other designs of Carthagian coins that have been discovered features a face with a mole on it
D、in ancient times it was quite common for the money circulated in a city or country to include coins that originated in other jurisdictions.
E、the relatively soft metal used for Carthagian coin molds sometimes resulted in the production of series of coins with unintended bumps
答案 E
解析 E选项说明，硬币上的痣实际上是因为模子太软而在上面留下的凸起，并非真的是画了一个长有痣的人，正确。A项的说法中所包含的假设就是这个硬币已经被确定画的就是一个具体的人，但是本文想要证明的是硬币上画的不是具体的人，与文章结论矛盾，不选。B项硬币上画的是否是具体的人和艺术家是否善于画人脸无关。不选。C项本文讨论的就是迦太基遗址的硬币，与其他文明无关。D项就算被发现的迦太基遗址的硬币是起源于其他主权的，但是我们并不知道其他主权的货币上画的究竟是不是具体的人。
