Prep CR 1的第5题

Tiger sharks are common in the waters surrounding Tenare
                Island.  Usually tiger sharks feed on smaller sharks, but sometimes they have attacked tourists swimming and surfing at Tenare's beaches.  This has hurt Tenare's tourism industry, which is second only to its fishing industry in annual revenues.  In order to help the economy, therefore, the mayor of the island has proposed an ongoing program to kill any tiger sharks within a mile of the beaches.

 

Which of the following, if true, most strongly calls into question the likelihood that implementation of the mayor's proposal will have the desired consequence? 

 

(A) Even if not all the tiger sharks that come close to the beaches are killed, the existence of the program would reassure tourists.

(B) Business owners who depend on tourism are willing to pay most of the cost of implementing the program.

(C) Tourists come to Tenare
                Island for its beaches, even though the island features a number of other tourist attractions.

(D) The small sharks on which tiger sharks prey feed on fish that are commercially important to the island's fisheries.

(E) Not all tourists who come to Tenare
                Island enjoy swimming or surfing.

答案是D

这个题着实让我无法理解，D说tiger sharks 捕食的small sharks是T渔业的重要经济来源。而T政府政策是捕杀 tiger sharks。这样一来small sharks的数量就会增多，政府的政策从另一个层面讲也是达到目的了呀。这和问题背道而驰的。问什么答案会是D呢？

请牛人们指点迷津啊~

因为你对feed on理解有误。tiger sharks吃的small sharks吃的鱼是这个岛的渔业具有商业重要性。

如果杀tiger sharks，那么small sharks就会增多，那么岛国渔业就会减产，影响到了岛国的第一经济来源。

也就是拆了东墙补西墙，对In order to help the economy这个目标没帮助
