标题: 求救一道题目，想不出来 [打印本页] 作者: wuqian321 时间: 2011-11-26 12:51 标题: 求救一道题目，想不出来 Manatees, aquatic mammals inhabiting Florida’s rivers and coastal waters, swim close to the surface and are frequently killed in collisions with boats. To address the problem, boat traffic in manatee-populated waters is being required to maintain very low speeds. Unfortunately, manatees are unable to hear low-pitched sounds and a boat’s sound lowers in pitch as the boat slows. Therefore, this approach may in fact make things worse rather than better.
Which of the following, if true, casts most doubt on the conclusion?
A The areas where boats would have to maintain low speeds were decided partly on the basis of manatee-population estimates and partly from numbers of reported collisions between manatees and boats. B Because the water hyacinth that manatees feed on grows best in water that is nearly still, water hyacinth beds can be disturbed or damaged by fast-moving boat traffic. C Over the last several decades, boat traffic in Florida’s coastal waters has been increasing almost continuously and now represents the greatest threat to the endangered manatee population. D The sound of a boat engine generally travels much further under water than it does through the air. E When experimenters exposed manatees to the recorded sounds of boats moving at various speeds, the creatures were unable to discern the sounds over normal background noise.
在A和E之间纠结。答案是E，A为什么不对？作者: wuqian321 时间: 2011-11-26 16:38

你觉得A为什么对，说说看你的理由。作者: wuqian321 时间: 2011-11-27 11:48
我懂了，是不是因为A其实只是在说为什么有的区域会采取减速措施，但并没说这个措施是不是会导致更多的Manatees背撞死？作者: wuqian321 时间: 2011-11-27 23:55

结论的依据是"manatees are unable to hear low-pitched sounds and a boat's sound lowers in pitch as the boat slows". 选项E中的信息说明Manatees 无法区分sounds of boats moving at various speeds，因此cast most doubt about the validity of the statement. A根本没有围绕结论的依据进行反驳。
