Cub-carrying also occurs
among some other myrmecophagous
(10) (ant-eating) mammals; therefore, one
explanation is that cub-carrying is
necessitated by myrmecophagy, since
myrmecophagy entails a low metabolic
rate and high energy expenditure in
(15) walking between food patches. (解释一:减少能耗)How-
ever, although polar bears’ locomotion
is similarly inefficient, polar bear cubs
walk along with their mother. Further-
more, the daily movements of sloth
(20) bears and American black bears—
which are similar in size to sloth bears
and have similar-sized home ranges—
reveal similar travel rates and distances,
suggesting that if black bear cubs are
(25) able to keep up with their mother, so
too should sloth bear cubs.(反驳:解释一。几种熊运动都差/大小相似/家的距离相似)
Q11: Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’ s argument in lines 18-26
(“ Furthermore … sloth bear cubs”)?逻辑题,削弱题:几种熊运动都差/大小相似/家的距离相似==》背孩子不是因为能量消耗的原因
A. Cub-carrying behavior has been observed in many non-myrmecophagous
mammals.无
B. Many of the largest myrmecophagous mammals do not typically exhibit cub-carrying
behavior.无
C. Some sloth bears have home ranges that are smaller in size than the average home
ranges of black bears.
D. The locomotion of black bears is significantly more efficient than the locomotion
of sloth bears.
E. The habitat of black bears consists of terrain that is significantly more varied than
that of the habitat of sloth bears.无关比较点
答案是D 我选了C
C为何不对呢
是不是因为some 所以跟原文并没有矛盾
可是削弱并不需要充分性 即使有一点削弱也行啊
请教大家 谢谢 |
