19、毫不相干。此外，干扰项也可能就是与所阅读的文章内容没有任何联系。例如，2007 年广东卷阅读理解 B 篇第五段：In the first case, when we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respectQ：The author thinks that keeping sile
