GWD-9-Q14:

The Eurasian ruffe, a fish species inadvertently introduced into North America’s Great Lakes in recent years, feeds on the eggs of lake whitefish, a native species, thus threatening the lakes’ natural ecosystem. To help track the ruffe’s spread, government agencies have produced wallet-sized cards about the ruffe. The cards contain pictures of the ruffe and explain the danger they pose; the cards also request anglers to report any ruffe they catch.

Which of the following, if true, would provide most support for the prediction that the agencies’ action will have its intended effect?

A.    The ruffe has spiny fins that make it unattractive as prey.

B.     Ruffe generally feed at night, but most recreational fishing on the Great Lakes is done during daytime hours.

C.     Most people who fish recreationally on the Great Lakes are interested in the preservation of the lake whitefish because it is a highly prized game fish.

D.    The ruffe is one of several nonnative species in the Great Lakes whose existence threatens the survival of lake whitefish populations there.

E.     The bait that most people use when fishing for whitefish on the Great Lakes is not attractive to ruffe.

答案给的是c.

可是我觉得应该是e. 因为agency的目的是track the ruffe's spread...而只有e才能起到这个作用.告诉人们用来钓whitefish的bait不能用于钓ruffe,提醒人们换bait,以起到track ruffe的作用.

LZ没弄清agency的action是什么!----是发一个卡,用卡来提示ruffe的危险性.

supoort的应该是"此卡是有作用的"(have its intended effect)!

C说很多人对保存whitefish这种鱼是感兴趣的.即:如果发个卡提示whitefish的敌人ruffe,他们是会有意识地来保护whitefish的.(因为人们如果对whitefish不感兴趣,则他们不会对卡的提示在意的)

E是无关项.题目说的是R是W的prey,所以用卡提示人们保护W.与E相内容没关系.

多谢楼上，感觉这个解释比lawyer的要好。.lawyer不要生气啊，其实我也是你的粉丝
