问题     The Minoan civilization flourished on the island of Crete around 2000 B.C.The discovery on Crete of large numbers of bronze implements and the furnaces used in their manufacture shows that the Minoans had a thriving bronze industry. Moreover, many bronze artifacts from this period that are similar in style to those produced on Crete have been found in southern Greece. Hence it is probable that, besides making bronzeware for domestic use, the Minoans exported bronzeware to southern Greece.
    Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument given?
选项 A、Copper and tin, the main ingredients of bronze, were present in Southern Greece.
B、No furnaces dating from the Minoan era and suitable for the manufacture of bronze implements have been found in southern Greece.
C、The Minoans exported a great deal of pottery, which was highly valued by other ancient civilizations.
D、The fuel needed for Minoan bronzeware furnaces was provided by a variety of local species of hardwood.
E、Some of the pieces of bronzeware found on Crete were non-Minoan in origin.
答案 B
解析 B选项说明希腊南部不存在生产青铜器的条件，但是根据原文，希腊南部有青铜器，这就进一步加强了这些青铜器是从米诺斯进口的可能性，同时也排除了希腊自己生产青铜器的可能性。B选项属于“排除他因”，正确。A项只能说明希腊南部存在生产青铜器所需的成分，与米诺斯人出口青铜器无关，不选。C项陶器和文章所讨论的青铜器无关。不选。D项米诺斯是否出口青铜器和燃料从哪来没有关系，不选。E项原文说希腊南部发现了一些和克里特岛上的青铜器风格很像的铜制品，而该选项则说明克里特岛上的青铜器未必起源于米诺斯文明，也就意味着希腊南部的青铜器不一定是米诺斯人出口的，削弱原文，不选。
