问题 Two suits of battle armor worn by King Henry VIII were discovered, one from the beginning of his reign in 1510 and the other from 15Although both suits of armor were made for Henry VIII, the 1540 suit of armor was 40 pounds heavier than the 1510 suit of armor. Which of the following, if true, contributes LEAST to an explanation of the discrepancy described above?
选项 A、Henry, although slim at the beginning of his reign, developed a bulky figure because of massive weight gain.
B、During his reign Henry increased his arsenal of weapons because, despite his popularity in 1510, by 1540 the English populace was becoming disenchanted with his rule.
C、Although the style of armor was plain and severe in the beginning of Henry’s reign, he started the fashion of decorating armor with heavy and elaborate metal pieces because of his love for ornamentation.
D、Henry ascended the throne while still an adolescent and grew three inches during his first five years as king.
E、Because of the improved design of battle weaponry during the 1530’ s, armor was given a multilayered design so that the sharper and stronger weapons could not pierce it.
答案 B
解析 本题的(A)、(C)、(D)和(E)选项都通过找他因的方法，对亨利八世盔甲的重量的增加做出了解释。选项(B)把两件盔甲重量的差异归结为亨利八世在统治期间增加了武器贮备就显得牵强附会，因为武器贮备的增加只可能说明它的盔甲比较多，但不能解释他的盔甲变重的现象。因此(B)正确。
