好像没有讨论过，TTGWD11-9

TTGWD11-Q9:

The population of desert tortoises in Targland’s Red
                Desert has declined, partly because they are captured for sale as pets and partly because people riding all-terrain vehicles have damaged their habitat.  Targland plans to halt this population decline by blocking the current access routes into the desert and announcing new regulations to allow access only on foot.  Targland’s officials predict that these measures will be adequate, since it is difficult to collect the tortoises without a vehicle.

Which of the following would it be most important to establish in order to evaluate the officials’ prediction?

A.          Whether possessing the tortoises as pets remains legally permissible in Targland

B.          Whether Targland is able to enforce the regulations with respect to all-terrain vehicle entry at points other than the current access routes

C.          Whether the Red
                Desert tortoises are most active during the day or at night

D.          Whether people who travel on foot in the Red
                Desert often encounter the tortoises

E.           Whether the Targland authorities held public hearings before restricting entry by vehicle into the Red
                Desert  (B)

the key is B, but why not D?

原文大意：

因为——政府认为，没有汽车无法运载沙龟

所以——限制汽车进入的法律管用

B的意思：是不是政府的法律针对的不仅仅是现有路径。如果是，则法律管用，如果不是，则法律不管用。因为捕猎者可以从现有路径以外的其他任何点进入开车进入。

D的意思：是不是徒步旅行能够经常遇到沙龟？如果不是，不影响法律的有效与否。如果是，没有汽车也运不走，也不会影响法律的有效与否。

说的真好

顶上来
