参考答案【正确答案：A】
本题要求考生判断4个选项中哪一个是根据文章可以推断出来的结论。第3段第2句告诉我们：There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later…因此选项A是答案。误选了B项的考生可能是因为他们错误地理解了一下句To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up, ever…的原因。这句话的意思是“当然，很可能会有一些我们永远也想不出的问题，……”，但这与选项B的前半部分的意思恰好相反。文章中均未提及C项和D项，因此这两个选项也是错的。
