题目信息

Several ancient Greek texts provide accounts of people being poisoned by honey that texts suggest was made from the nectar of rhododendron or oleander plants. Honey made from such nectar can cause the effects the texts describe, but only if eaten fresh, since the honey loses its toxicity within a few weeks of being made. In Greece, rhododendrons and oleander bloom only in springtime, when they are the predominant sources of nectar.


Which of the following, if true, most strongly support the accounts of Greek texts?

A:There are no plants that Greece in ancient times that produce more nectar than rhododendrons or oleanders does.
B:In areas where neither rhododendrons nor oleanders grow, honey is never poisonous.
C:A beehive`s honeycomb cannot have some sections that contain toxic honey and other sections that contain nontoxic honey
D:The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer
E:Whether the honey in a beehive is toxic depends solely on which plants were the source of that was used to make the honey.

正确答案: D:The incidents of honey poisoning that are related in the ancient texts occurred in the springtime or in the early summer

文章前提就是honey是要趁新鲜马上吃(within a few weeks)才会中毒,并且说honey中的nectar只有spring的时候才长。请注意,是只有!春天!

那么按照前提所说的中毒只有几周之内的可能性,那么只有可能是在春天或者early summer的时候。D就是这个意思
