Q11:
Some species of Arctic birds are threatened by recent sharp increases in the population of snow geese, which breed in the Arctic and are displacing birds of less vigorous species. Although snow geese are a popular quarry for hunters in the southern regions where they winter, the hunting season ends if and when hunting has reduced the population by five percent, according to official estimates. Clearly, dropping this restriction would allow the other species to recover.
当狩猎数量是总数量减少5%时,狩猎期被禁止=〉结论,放弃这个制度可以给别的种族的鸟留下recover的机会(其中暗含一个过渡:放弃制度会使天鹅受到捕杀的增多)
Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
- Hunting limits for snow geese were imposed many years ago in response to a sharp decline in the population of snow geese. 几年前,无关
- It has been many years since the restriction led to the hunting season for snow geese being closed earlier than the scheduled date. 连续很多年因为这项政策导致狩猎期提前结束=〉被捕杀得天鹅少了=〉别的鸟类不能recovery
- The number of snow geese taken by hunters each year has grown every year for several years. 被捕杀天鹅的天鹅每年数目都在增多,继而削弱即使不放弃捕猎的限制,别的鸟类也可以recovery
- As their population has increased, snow geese have recolonized wintering grounds that they had not used for several seasons.
- In the snow goose’s winter habitats, the goose faces no significant natural predation.
Answer: B,可是按照我以上的思路怎么也不觉得B削弱啊? |
