In Mernia commercial fossil hunters often sell important fossils they have found, not to universities or museums, but to individual collectors, who pay much better but generally do not allow researchers access to their collections. To increase the number of fossils available for research, some legislators propose requiring all fossils that are found in Mernia to be sold only to universities or museums.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly indicates that the legislators’ proposal will fail to achieve its goal?


Some fossil hunters in Mernia are not commercial fossil hunters, but rather are amateurs who keep the fossils that they find.

Most fossils found in Mernia are common types that have little scientific interest.

Commercial fossil hunters in Mernia currently sell some of the fossils they find to universities and museums.

Many universities in Mernia do not engage in fossil research.

Most fossils are found by commercial fossil hunters, and they would give up looking for fossils if they were no longer allowed to sell to individual collectors.

考题讲解

情景：在M，化石捕猎者经常把他们弄来的化石卖给个人收藏家，而不是学校或者博物馆。这是因为，个人收藏家给的钱比较多但不让调查者接触化石。为了增加调查需要的化石，有些立法者就建议所有被发现的化石必须卖给学校或者博物馆。

推理：显然地，由于整个推理文段的目的就是提出一个计划，所以本题为方案推理。
目标：增加调查需要的化石
方案：所有被发现的化石必须卖给学校或者博物馆

选题方式：答案选项必须涉及方案。

选项分析：

A选项：有些化石捕猎者不是专业的做化石生意的人，而是一些把化石自己留下的业余人士。本选项和方案，即，必须卖给谁，无关。

B选项：很多被发现于M的化石是没有什么科研价值的一般种类。本选项和化石要卖给谁无关。

C选项：在M的化石捕猎者现在卖一些他们发现的化石给大学和博物馆。方案是强制要求所有的化石都必须卖给学校，无论现在化石捕猎者是怎么做的， 都和方案是否能达到目标无关。

D选项：很多M的大学没有涉及化石研究。把化石卖给那些有化石研究项目的学校就好了。

E选项：Correct. 很多化石是被化石捕猎者发现的，并且，如果他们不再被允许把化石卖给个人收藏者，他们将不再会寻找化石了。本选项让方案不再能达成目的，即，如果大家都不去找化石了，那依然不会有化石可以被研究。属于CQ1：方案的可行性问题。
