标题: GWD-8-Q33逻辑求助
GWD-8-Q33:
In order to withstand tidal currents, juvenile horseshoe crabs frequently burrow in the sand. Such burrowing discourages barnacles from clinging to their shells. When fully grown, however, the crabs can readily withstand tidal currents without burrowing, and thus they acquire substantial populations of barnacles. Surprisingly, in areas where tidal currents are very weak, juvenile horseshoe crabs are found not to have significant barnacle populations, even though they seldom burrow.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the surprising finding?
A. Tidal currents do not themselves dislodge barnacles from the shells of horseshoe crabs.
B. Barnacles most readily attach themselves to horseshoe crabs in areas where tidal currents are weakest.
C. The strength of the tidal currents in a given location varies widely over the course of a day.
D. A very large barnacle population can significantly decrease the ability of a horseshoe crab to find food.
E. Until they are fully grown, horseshoe crabs shed their shells and grow new ones several times a year.
为啥选E不选A 呀?纠结。。。

P 1:withstand tidal waves, juvenile crabs burrow in sand---->no barnacle population
P 2: fully grown, crabs could withstand waves----> have significant barnacle population
P 3: juvenile crabs in weak tidal region have no barnacle population.
Which can support p 3? According to OEP principle, we read the following choices.
A:could be a contender, remain to be considered.
B:Contradict to the P 2, because once the crabs are fully grown, they could hold barnacles on their shells.
C: out of scope
D: out of scope
E: contender.
Now, let's reconsider choice A and E. Why E is better than A? In fact, when first time encounter A, I find that A has nothing to do with P3, because it just provides you the reason why all crabs could have barnacles on their shells, but not why the juvenile crabs in certain area could not.
E in chinese means: 由于不断地长大,幼年的crabs要不断的丢弃原来的壳,长出新壳。In this way, the barnacles which should be held on the shells of crabs, can not stay on the juvenile crabs shells.
E provides the exact reason to P3.

多谢大虾指点! 弱弱的问一句,OEP Principle是什么哦~

就是排除法...

不是POE么,process of elimination,好吧,我承认我的focus不对==

有个疑问,前面讲到:. Such burrowing discourages barnacles from clinging to their shells. 根据我的理解就是在fully grow之前,barnacles都不会去附着在贝壳上,所以E选项中在长成之前换几次壳都不会影响到bar的多少呀?
求高人指点。

非高人~~说说我的看法~~
如果小螃蟹burrowing的话,那么确实无论换多少次壳都不会影响到B的数量,因为在这个过程中小螃蟹壳上的B一直都很少(因为Such burrowing discourages barnacles from clinging to their shells.)
但是,文中要解释的是在tidal currents 很weak时,此时小螃蟹不会burrowing,那么burrowing可以减少B的作用将不存在。也就是说还有其他的原因影响了小螃蟹壳上B的数量。在E中,小螃蟹在长成之前要换几次壳,说明那些粘在壳上的B都在每次换壳的时候一起换掉了,所以发现小螃蟹壳上的B总是很少。
不知道这样说清楚了没?

shed 的作用相当于burrow

这样萌萌的解释,一下明白了。
还是语义上没有理解透彻。
until they are fully grown, 表示还是juvenile
