标题: GWD1-Q9 to Q12

我分析了这篇文章好久,感觉是看明白了,可是题目错了一大片.请NN帮忙指导我该怎样去分析这篇文章和题目.现在被阅读困扰得直想撞墙.原来我的阅读这么差!!!我急切需要指导走出这个困境.

提前感谢回帖的NN们.致敬!!!

GWD1-Q9 to Q12:

      Over the last 150 years, large stretches of salmon habitat have been eliminated by human activity: mining, livestock grazing, timber harvesting, and agriculture as well as recreational and urban development.  The numerical effect is obvious:  there are fewer salmon in degraded regions than in pristine ones; however, habitat loss also has the potential to reduce genetic diversity.  This is most evident in cases where it results in the extinction of entire salmon populations.  Indeed, most analysts believe that some kind of environmental degradation underlies the demise of many extinct salmon populations. Although some rivers have been recolonized, the unique genes of the original populations have been lost.

      Large-scale disturbances in one locale also have the potential to alter the genetic structure of populations in neighboring areas, even if those areas have pristine habitats.  Why?  Although the homing instinct of salmon to their natal stream is strong, a fraction of the fish returning from the sea (rarely more than 15 percent) stray and spawn in nearby streams.  Low levels of straying are crucial, since the process provides a source of novel genes and a mechanism by which a location can be repopulated should the fish there disappear.  Yet high rates of straying can be problematic because misdirected fish may interbreed with the existing stock to such a degree that any local adaptations that are present become diluted. Straying rates remain relatively low when environmental conditions are stable, but can increase dramatically when streams suffer severe disturbance. The 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount Saint Helens, for example, sent mud and debris into several tributaries of the Columbia River.  For the next couple of years, steelhead trout (a species included among the salmonids) returning from the sea to spawn were forced to find alternative streams.  As a consequence, their rates of straying, initially 16 percent, rose to more than 40 percent overall.

      Although no one has quantified changes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by humans, there is no reason to suspect that the effect would be qualitatively different than what was seen in the aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption.  Such a dramatic increase in straying from damaged areas to more pristine streams results in substantial gene flow, which can in turn lower the overall fitness of subsequent generations.

GWD1-Q9:

The primary purpose of the passage is to

A.      argue against a conventional explanation for the extinction of certain salmon populations and suggest an alternative

B.       correct a common misunderstanding about the behavior of salmon in response to environmental degradation caused by human activity

C.      compare the effects of human activity on salmon populations with the effects of natural disturbances on salmon populations

D.      differentiate the particular effects of various human activities on salmon habitats

E.       describe how environmental degradation can cause changes in salmon populations that extend beyond a numerical reduction

-------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD1-Q10:

It can be inferred from the passage that the occasional failure of some salmon to return to their natal streams in order to spawn provides a mechanism by which

             

A.      pristine streams that are near polluted streams become polluted themselves

B.       the particular adaptations of a polluted stream’s salmon population can be preserved without dilution

C.      the number of salmon in pristine habitats decreases relative to the number in polluted streams

D.      an environmentally degraded stream could be recolonized by new salmon populations should the stream recover

E.       the extinction of the salmon populations that spawn in polluted streams is accelerated

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD1-Q11:

According to the passage, human activity has had which of the following effects on salmon populations?

A.      An increase in the size of salmon populations in some previously polluted rivers

B.       A decline in the number of salmon in some rivers

C.      A decrease in the number straying salmon in some rivers

D.      A decrease in the gene flow between salmon populations that spawn in polluted streams and populations that spawn in pristine streams

E.       A decline in the vulnerability of some salmon populations to the effects of naturally occurring habitat destruction

 

------------------------------------------------------------------

GWD1-Q12:

The author mentions the “aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption” (lines 73-74) most likely in order to

 

A.      provide an example of the process that allows the repopulation of rivers whose indigenous salmon population has become extinct

B.       indicate the extent to which the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream might affect the genetic structure of salmon populations elsewhere

C.      provide a standard of comparison against which the impact of human activity on the gene flow among salmon populations should be measured

D.      show how salmons’ homing instinct can be impaired as a result of severe environmental degradation of their natal streams

E.       show why straying rates in salmon populations remain generally low except when spawning streams suffer severe environmental disturbance

TN24里给的Q12的答案是C,但是GWD-RC 解题里给的答案是B


作者: tianyi_2003    时间: 2008-12-4 17:58

简单看下文章逻:

1:鱼的聚集地因为人类活动而减少,从而导致了基因多样性的减少

2:环境波动影响周边地区的基因多样性 - 原因:环境 影响洄游偏移, 洄游偏移影响基因多样性   例子:火山

3:再次强调人类活动对基因的影响不可忽视

文章主要:介绍鱼数量减少,趋于灭绝的原因及过程。看下题目

GWD1-Q9:
                

The primary purpose of the passage is to 文章目的不是反对,纠正,比较,区分,而是大篇幅描述了环境变化对鱼的影响过程

A.      argue against a conventional explanation for the extinction of certain salmon populations and suggest an alternative

B.       correct a common misunderstanding about the behavior of salmon in response to environmental degradation caused by human activity

C.     
                        
compare the effects of human activity on salmon populations with the effects of natural disturbances on salmon populations

D.      differentiate the particular effects of various human activities on salmon habitats

E.       describe how environmental degradation can cause changes in salmon populations that extend beyond a numerical reduction

GWD1-Q10:
                    

It can be inferred from the passage that the occasional failure(low level of spaying) of some salmon to return to their natal streams in order to spawn provides a mechanism by which回游的时候迷路了会出现什么问题呢?

定位:low level of spraying, mechanism

文中说了since the process provides a source of novel genes and a mechanism by which a location can be repopulated should the fish there disappear.提供了这种体系:即使水体中的鱼消失了仍然可以再次发展壮大 - 同义变换选项D:an environmentally degraded stream could be recolonized by new salmon populations should the stream recover一个被污染的水体(鱼可能都死了)当恢复后可以重新被鱼们占据生长

这道题目其他选项你观察下pristine streams ;adaptations ;pristine habitats ; the extinction of the salmon populations 都没有在定位点提到

注:should the stream recover:虚拟语气 相当于 if the stram should recover如果溪水回复正常

GWD1-Q11: 选B

According to the passage, human activity has had which of the following effects on salmon populations?

定位human activity/ effect 

The numerical effect is obvious:  there are fewer salmon in degraded regions than in pristine ones.

GWD1-Q12:
                                                

 Although no one has quantified changes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by humans, there is no reason to suspect that the effect would be qualitatively different than what was seen in the aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption.

:人类的影响下,火山过后的结果也是会不一样的,其实作者态度就是人类对鱼基因的影响是存在不可以忽视的,选C, 通过比较,突出人类影响

其他的都没有反映这个意思。D中的n one stream ,elsewhere一看都是细节,错

我觉得文章主要3点:文章的结构 - 作者想说什么 - 定位点映像

做题3点:定位 - 同义变换 - 错选原因(细节,其他内容等)做多了就好啦,别灰心,GWD比较难得

q12为什么说是细节就错,这题又不是主题题
对于C,文中并没有comparison啊,我觉得就是举例volcanica eruption的例子证明人类活动也能导致类似的后果

up

我觉得觉得B没什么问题。
作者: 雨潇    时间: 2010-8-25 23:21
虽然我做错了,但是经过好长时间的分析,还是支持选C,
分析如下:
第一段文章先说人类活动对于salmon的生存环境有影响,后来写 Indeed, most analysts believe that some kind of environmental degradation underlies the demise of many extinct salmon populations。这就说明自然环境对马哈鱼的灭绝也有影响。
第二段开始说火山爆发的影响 Straying rates remain relatively low when environmental conditions are stable, but can increase dramatically when streams suffer severe disturbance.  The 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount Saint Helens, for example 这就说明了这种环境的影响
第三段开始说Although no one has quantified 定量化的changes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by humans, there is no reason to suspect that the effect would be qualitatively 性质上的different than what was seen in the aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption. 就是说人类的影响与环境的影响没有明确的质量上的对比,但是性质上是不同的,那么两者谁严重呢?

看看文章中的第一段,人类的影响是there are fewer salmon in degraded regions than in pristine ones,但是第二段中说环境比如火山爆发的影响是 Large-scale……even if those areas have pristine habitats.就是说在 pristine 的地方都会受到影响,所以火山爆发这种大规模的环境破坏影响更大一些

因此, Mount Saint Helens eruption 的影响可以作为which 人类活动 should be measured的一个标准,也就是C所说provide a standard of comparison against which the impact of human activity on the gene flow among salmon populations should be measured 这里只是对比关系,并没有量上的等价关系。

而B  indicate the extent to which the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream might affect the genetic structure of salmon populations elsewhere  这里的extent就说明了等于关系,并且文章中根本就没有比较过 in one stream 的破坏而对于 elsewhere 的马哈鱼的影响,也没有说他们的基因结构产生了什么变化,连参照物都不明确就谈不上比较。可以说B根本就是无关选项


所以选择C,这是我的拙见,欢迎抛砖

作者: quyuanmei    时间: 2011-4-7 10:49
这个题B更好,因为第二段的中心句就是第一句话,就是the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream might affect the genetic structure of salmon populations elsewhere 关键词是genetic structure,是对这句话的改写 最好
Dprovide a standard of comparison against which the impact of human activity on the gene flow among salmon populations should be measured人家最后一段都说了,没有办法量化,你还说量化的标准肯定不符合题意。

tianyi的解读很清楚啊!  谢谢

这文章打击了我的信心,阅读水平要提高

好厉害!
作者: gigi68788    时间: 2011-8-2 19:07
好难的文章!反复看都不知道他讲什么……
分析下原因:
1.重要的单词不会,如printine,stray,habitat
2.句子的长度和难度大,理解有困难,如 Low levels of straying are crucial, since the process provides a source of novel genes and a mechanism by which a location can be repopulated should the fish there disappear.
3.文章的整个结构为描述类型,没有什么态度词。之前做的题比较多是比较题,一般是总-分-总,分-总,总-分结构较多。而这个文章第一,第二段是平行的,第三段还稍微有点态度,且句子还比较难,看不太懂……
4.答案是文章句子的同义句,这就加大了做题难度,本来文章题目都较难理解,加上换了词语,就更难理解了。


解决方法:
看来要多做一些描述类型的文章,尤其是多长句的文章,提高理解水平才行了。

找出原因,对症下药,希望能进步,大家加油~

为什么GWD这么难- -...
作者: howie0420    时间: 2012-3-17 03:21
我也觉得最后一题是选B。。。虽然我觉选C也有选C的理由。。。

但如果看第二段的中心句就会明白1980年的这个事件是用来说明      Large-scale disturbances in one locale also have the potential to alter the genetic structure of populations in neighboring areas 的

然后第三段的结尾,又提到这个影响Such a dramatic increase in straying from damaged areas to more pristine streams results in substantial gene flow, which can in turn lower the overall fitness of subsequent generations.

总之就是说明影响很严重,会导致其他habitat的鱼失去fitness,所以这个题应该是说作者想表明人类对于鱼的影响到了什么样的extent。。。


但是选C呢,Although no one has quantified changes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by humans, there is no reason to suspect that the effect would be qualitatively different than what was seen in the aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption

提到了no one has quatified the changes, 但是没有reason去suspect会qualitatively different。。。所以提供一个可以measure impact的方法也是有道理的。。。

所以最后悲剧的纠结在B 和 C了。。。= =

作者: gaojievam    时间: 2012-10-20 14:40
被这篇文章虐了半天,有点自己的看法,和ls不太一样的说。。。
The author mentions the “aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption” most likely in order to(没有提到人类活动的选项可以直接排除了)
A.    provide an example of the process that allows the repopulation of rivers whose indigenous salmon population has become extinct  灭绝重生P2内容。无关
B.    indicate the extent to which the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream might affect the genetic structure of salmon populations elsewhere  没有提到one stream对elsewhere影响的extent,况且这里只是要强调人类活动对stray的影响,而不是genetic structure(genetic的改变是stray的结果,因为stray,所以会dilute目的地的基因结构,所以说genetic是会改变的,与ls意见不同)
C.    provide a standard of comparison against which the impact of human activity on the gene flow(与stray同意替换) among salmon populations should be measured
D.    show how salmons’ homing instinct can be impaired as a result of severe environmental degradation of their natal streams  要对比人类活动,没有提到就不对
E.    show why straying rates in salmon populations remain generally low except when spawning streams suffer severe environmental disturbance 同D
