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
文中说某个Desert中T的数量减少,部分因为被抓,部分因为汽车毁了T的栖息地。 现在政府要封掉当下通往这个Desert的路,只许大家走着去。 结论是这个条例会有效,因为没有车的话人很难抓T
答案是B,但为什么D不对呢?如果走着去的人遇到了T又把他们抓了,那岂不是这个条例还是没有用吗? 谢谢 |
