Less than 50 percent of a certain tropical country’s wildlands remains intact. Efforts are under way to restore biological diversity in that country by restoring some destroyed wild habitats and extending some relatively intact portions of forests. However, opponents argue that these efforts are not needed because there is still plenty of wildland left.
Which of the following, if true, most significantly weakens the argument of the opponents of conservation efforts?
(A) As much, if not more, effort is required to restore a wild habitat as to preserve an intact habitat.
(B) The opponents of restoration efforts are, for the most part, members of the wealthier classes in their own villages and cities.
(C) Existing conservation laws have been very effective in preserving biological diversity within the wildlands that remain intact.
(D) For many tropical species native to that country, the tropical wildlands that are still relatively intact do not provide appropriate habitats for reproduction.
(E) If a suitable population of plants and animals is introduced and is permitted to disperse and grow, tropical habitats can most certainly be restored.
答案: D
這題的題目是在問什麼呢??
是在weaken反對conservation efforts的人,
還是在weaken支持conservation efforts的人呢??
D選項,我的理解是: 仍然相當完整的tropical wildlands不會提供適當的habitats給予再生
E選項,我的理解是: 假使一個適當數量的plants and animals被引進,而且可以擴大生長,tropical habitats就能夠restored
所以以我的理解,
D選項是在weaken支持conservation efforts的人,
E選項是在weaken反對conservation efforts的人,
我是選了E,
因為我以為題目的"weakens the argument of the opponents of conservation efforts",
是在說"削弱反對conservation efforts的論述",
不知道我的理解哪裡出了差錯???
麻煩各位幫我離清一下~~~
謝謝各位 ^^
