Less than 50 percent of a certain tropical country's
wildlands remains intact. Efforts are under way to
restore biological diversity in that country by restor-
ing some destroyed wild habitats and extending
some relatively intact portions of forests. However,
opponents argue that these efforts are not needed
because there is still plenty of wildland left.
Which of the following, if true, most significantly
weakens the argument of the opponents of
conservation efforts?
(A) As much, if not more, effort is required to
restore a wild habitat as to preserve an intact
habitat.
(B) The opponents of restoration efforts are, for the
most part, members of the wealthier classes
in their own villages and cities.
(C) Existing conservation laws have been very effec-
tive in preserving biological diversity within
the wildlands that remain intact.
(D) For many tropical species native to that coun-
try, the tropical wildlands that are still rela-
tively intact do not provide appropriate
habitats for reproduction.
(E) If a suitable population of plants and animals is
introduced and is permitted to disperse and
grow, tropical habitats can most certainly be
restored.
答案是C,我选D。C是法律上的约束,可以成立。但D是一种实际情况的陈述,也应该可以吧。 |
