问题 During the last hunting season, twice as many people were hit by cars while walking on public sidewalks as were hurt in hunting accidents in the woods. Therefore, during the last hunting season, people were safer in the woods than they were while walking on public sidewalks. In evaluating the argument above, it would be most important to know

选项 A、the likelihood that during the next hunting season fewer people will be hurt in hunting accidents in the woods than were hurt during the last hunting season.
B、the ratio during last hunting season of people who walked on public sidewalks to people who were in the woods.
C、how many of the people hurt in hunting accidents during the last hunting season had been hurt in similar accidents in the past.
D、how many of the accidents could have been avoided if the drivers of the cars or the hunters who fired the guns had been more careful.
E、how many people, on average, are hurt in hunting accidents in the woods when it is not hunting season.

答案B

解析 本题推理为“在人行道上行走时被汽车撞伤的人数是在森林中打猎事故中受伤人数的2倍,因此在树林里行走比在人行道上行走安全”。一般地,当由数据得出结论时,结论是对上面数据的解释,评价一般从比例或单位方面的角度来进行。若我们知道,马路上的行人与树林中的人数的比例,那么我们就可以对上面推理作出评价。若该比例大于2,则反对了段落推理;若该比例小于2,则支持了段落推理。因此(B)起到了很好的评价作用,所以(B)正确;(A)中的“the next hunting sea—son”与上面推理无关;(C)、(D)、(E)也均与推理无关。
