题目解答
答案
题干为：为什么作者关注动物权利活动家的主张？
可从文章第一段第二句I am concerned about deceptive claims from animal rights activists about the need for animal research得出答案。句意：我担心动物权利活动家们会欺骗性地声称需要对进行动物研究。
这与选项B意思较为接近。
B句意：这些说法会使公众相信一些不真实的事情。
故答案为B。
解析
考查要点：本题主要考查学生对文章主旨的把握能力，需要结合作者的立场和关键句理解其担忧的核心原因。
解题思路：通过定位关键句，明确作者对动物权利活动家主张的评价，进而对应选项。
破题关键：抓住文章首段中 "deceptive claims" 的表述，理解作者认为这些主张会误导公众，而非单纯否定动物研究本身。
关键句定位：
- 第一段第二句：
"I am concerned about deceptive claims from animal rights activists about the need for animal research."
作者明确指出，动物权利活动家的主张具有欺骗性，且这些主张围绕“动物研究的必要性”展开。 - 第二段第一句：
"Animal activists try to deceive people and count on society's general lack of scientific insight to advance their agenda."
进一步说明活动家利用公众科学知识的匮乏，传播不实信息，为其主张争取支持。
选项分析：
- 选项B（The claims will make the public believe something untrue）直接对应上述关键句中的 "deceive people" 和 "deceptive claims"，表明作者的核心担忧是公众被误导。
- 选项A（The claims will arrest the development of animal research）和选项C（Medical advancement will slow down）虽然间接相关，但文章未明确提及活动家的主张会直接阻碍研究发展，而是强调其误导性。
- 选项D（Animal rights activists will play an important role）与文意完全相反，作者反对活动家的主张。
