还一个题, 
Kate: The recent decline in numbers of the Tennessee warbler, a North American songbird that migrates each fall to coffee plantations in South America, is due to the elimination of the dense tree cover that formerly was a feature of most South American coffee plantations. Scott: The population of the spruce budworm, the warbler’s favorite prey in North America, has been dropping. This is a more likely explanation of the warbler’s decline. Which of the following, if true, most seriously calls Scott’s hypothesis into question? A The numbers of the Baltimore oriole, a songbird that dose not eat budworms but is as dependent on South American coffee plantations as is the Tennessee warbler, are declining. B The spruce-budworm population has dropped because of a disease that can infect budworms but not Tennessee warblers. C The drop in the population of the spruce budworm is expected to be only temporary. D Many Tennessee warbler have begun migrating in the fall to places other than traditional coffee plantations. E Although many North American songbirds have declined in numbers, no other species has experienced as great a decline as has the Tennessee warbler. AnswerA ,我也选的A其他答案不挨边,但还是有个疑问,A项中所说的songbird明显与题目中的songbird,不是一个品种,这样的比较是不是太宽了,要严格说来我觉得这不能成为反驳的理由,请高手给我讲一下,我的想法是不是有错 |
