Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
A. Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese. B. It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date. C. The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years. D. As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons. E. In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.
B中,狩猎季节提前结束的情况是很多年前发生了,过去的几年及最近不再发生提前结束的状况了。 B这个选项一定要理解正确。it has been many years...since...这个句式翻译成"自从...一直没有再这样了" 也就是说:最近几年,狩猎期结束了,5%的限额还没用完,没用完说明什么呢,说明那个限额等于白说,有等于没有。那么取消限额或把限额放宽是件毫无意义的事情。 限制令上一次发挥作用已经是N年前的事了,这些年来,猎人即使捕猎也不可能消除snow geese 5%的数量,所以,限制令在这些年没有生效过,更谈不上使其他物种恢复数量了 举个列子:你妈一天准许你吃2晚饭,可是你每天吃一碗,后来你妈说给你点福利吧,每天从2碗到3碗,你说你妈是不是在忽悠你,有意义吗?
