24-7 Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
The expansion of large-scale farming in Africa and Asia has destroyed much of the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended, forcing them to turn to cultivated land to satisfy their enormous appetites. As a result, farmers have lost millions of dollars worth of crops annually. Yet even if elephant sanctuaries were created on a widespread basis to guarantee elephants sufficient natural vegetation, the raiding would likely persist, since -------

(A) when elephants forage for food, they typically travel in herds.
(B) foraging elephants have been known to cause substantial damage even to plants that they do not eat.
(C) some of the land where crops have suffered extensive damage from elephants has been allowed to return to its natural state.
(D) elephants tend to prefer cultivated crops to wild vegetation as a food source
(E) elephant sanctuaries are usually created in areas that are rich in the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended.

Answer: D.
請教題幹 the raiding would likely persist 是什麼意思?? 我不懂???
Why the answer is D??? :D

raid 是襲擊的意思
我猜raiding 應該只大象跑去吃農民農作物的行為
所以它問為什麼準備了sufficient natural vegetation
大象卻還是延續它去吃農作物的行為
就是因為大象本身喜歡吃農作物
不喜歡吃 natural vegetation

這是我的想法有錯請指正

可是喔
我覺得有點奇怪耶
因為文章前面有已經先提到
"The expansion of large-scale farming in Africa and Asia has destroyed much of the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended"
就不是已經表示大象是喜歡natural vegetation的嗎?
這樣跟答案不是就有點矛盾?
我一直在想
答案的"wild vegetation"跟題目的"natural vegetation"是不是不一樣阿?

我覺得題目說的depend不是代表喜歡，而是依存
依存跟喜歡就不一樣啦...依存是即使我不愛某東西，但為了活下去或是傳統習慣，我還是得要靠它才能活下去呀...
wild vegetation和natural vegetation都一樣
都是指"自然野生生長的vegetation"

個人意見，有錯請指正 ;))

想請問各位大大
為什麼(B)錯呀?? *-)

stwang \$m[1]:想請問各位大大
為什麼(B)錯呀??

範圍轉變為對於吃/不吃的植物所造成的傷害
跟D比就不是最好的答案了

由 **hwatai** » 2007-11-21 07:35

原題是說”the rading” would persist，限定用法，提過的事情，也就是吃東西這件事，大象還是會來吃種植物

答案(B)則是說他們不吃的東西，對象已經不一樣了

關於選項D我還是有點疑問..

我記得美加的江老師說過有"情緒字眼的"不選..ex: prefer, bias...

所以當初我一看到D的prefer我就不選了

有哪位大大可以解釋一下嗎?

謝謝~~

單純用單字判斷選項在CR與SC裡都是冒險,了解句意才是王道
D選項說明大象仍然會遭到補殺是因為,它們已喜歡吃人類種的穀物,就算你給它們天然耶,它們也不要有哪位大大可以解釋一下嗎?

謝謝~~
