求解OG13 CR57题 In order to withstand tidal currents, juvenile horseshoe crabs frequently burrow in the sand. Such burrowing discourages barnacles from clinging to their shells. When fully grown, however, the crabs can readily withstand tidal currents without burrowing, and thus they acquire substantial populations of barnacles. Surprisingly, in areas where tidal currents are very weak, juvenile horseshoe crabs are found not to have significant barnacle populations, even though they seldom burrow.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the surprising finding?
(A)Tidal currents do not themselves dislodge barnacles from the shells of horseshoe crabs.
(B)Barnacles most readily attach themselves to horseshoe crabs in areas where tidal currents are weakest.
(C)The strength of the tidal currents in a given location varies widely over the course of a day.
(D)A very large barnacle population can significantly decrease the ability of a horseshoe crab to find food.
(E)Until they are fully grown, horseshoe crabs shed their shells and grow new ones several times a year. 我不明白A为什么不对 A说海浪不是阻止藤壶粘附在壳上的唯一因素,所以没有海浪藤壶粘附的藤壶数量也可能很少不是么
我也一样把重点放在了areas where tidal currents are very weak!所以prephrase就错了……
不过D肯定不对啊,这里“find food”根本就是凭空冒出来的,它不是crab数量多少的充分必要条件。
CR里面如果在premise里面说了事情A会导致事情B,是默认A是B的唯一原因的(见bible,还有另外一个默认就是A总是会导致B的发生),是充分必要的。
但是FOOD这一条件是出现在选项中的新信息,所以不可以认为是充分必要的,也就不能说如果B活下来了一定是因为找到了食物啊,找到食物只是原因之一。
个人见解哦,还请指正
另外这题看来看去为何focus不在tidal current 上呢!求解
对抗潮汐burrow的时候藤壶会脱落-----长大后不需要对抗潮汐藤壶就可以在附在crab上了 但是潮汐很弱的地方,crab也没什么藤壶。为什么? Tidal currents do not themselves dislodge barnacles from the shells of horseshoe crabs.海浪并不会冲走藤壶。其实是无关题目的。
