Q27: In parts of the Caribbean, the manatee, an endangered marine mammal, has long been hunted for its meat. Having noted the manatee hunters’ expert knowledge of manatees’ habits, local conservationists are encouraging the hunters to stop hunting and instead to take tourists on boat rides to see manatees. Tourist interest is high, so the plan has promise of achieving the twin goals of giving the former hunters a good income and helping ensure the manatees’ survival. Which of the following, if true, raises the most serious doubt about the plan’s chance of success? - Many
tourists who visit these parts of the Caribbean are uninterested in manatees and would not be willing to pay what the former manatee hunters would have to charge for boat rides to see manatees. - Recovery
of the species would enable some hunting to continue without putting the manatees’ survival in jeopardy again. - In
areas where manatees have traditionally been hunted for food, local people could easily replace the manatee meat in their diets with other foods obtained from the sea. - There
would not be enough former manatee hunters to act as guides for all the tourists who want to see manatees. - To
maintain their current income, manatee hunters who switched to guiding tourists would have to use far larger boats and make many more trips into the manatees’ fragile habitat than they currently do. 正确答案: E 看出E的道理来, 可A不也可以吗, 因为游客不参加观光, HUNTER没钱赚, 他们也不会想改行。。还是说文章里已经说过tourists are interested, 所以这个可能性就不用考虑了?
谢谢指点!!
