以下是引用wei_wangyan在2006-12-20 20:15:00的发言: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.[E] 这个题,偶还是不明白为什么D不对啊?!那个barnacle多了会导致crab找食物困难,所以barnacle就少了.这不挺好的原因吗?(偶是明白E为什么正确的)  D不对,因为那些B附着在C身上是一个客观事实,不是C自己可以决定的。如果它可以自己选择的话,谁会让那些讨厌的东东老是附在自己身上啊~ 所以答案只能是E,因为C要换壳,哈~这也是一个客观事实,同样是C无法改变滴,但却会导致B变少啦! |
