Editor: Articles in Gardening Magazine often spur sales of the plants they describe, particularly among people new to gardening. Accordingly, we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers. Most such plants sold to gardeners have been difficult to propagate under cultivation, so plant sellers often collect them in the wild. Our new policy is part of our efforts to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations.
Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the wisdom of the magazine's new policy as a way of pursuing the intended effect?

Which of the following, if true, casts the most doubt on the wisdom of the magazine's new policy as a way of pursuing the intended effect?
A. When people new to gardening buy plants, they often fail to take adequate care of the plants that they buy and become discouraged from buying those varieties again.
B. Plant sellers who sell rare wildflowers have no reasonably inexpensive alternative way to offer their wares directly to new gardeners.
C. The demand for rare wildflowers rarely exceeds the number of such plants that can be collected in the wild by plant sellers.
D. The propagation of rare wildflowers often depends on the plants' interaction with other organisms in their environment, such as plants that create suitable soil conditions or insects and birds that disperse seeds.
E. Revenues from sales of plants collected in the wild are supporting the discovery of new low-cost techniques enabling rare wildflowers to be readily propagated in nurseries. 选E 不是很理解题目意思 we will no longer publish articles or accept advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers这句话是说我们要么不发表了,要么就advertisements praising the beauty of rare wildflowers?也就是说后者就是new policy了,是这样吗 最后一句话也没看太懂,好心人看到能否帮我分析一下这题 谢谢啦
大概意思就是说 有本内容是关于养花的杂志, 很多养花菜鸟没经验,杂志里面说什么好他们就种什么。结果这杂志也脑残,竟挑些稀有的野生花,它们很稀少,而且很难栽培、种活。因此卖花的也到处去采这些路边野花。 但出于人道主义考虑,杂志认识到再这样乱摘下去乱套了。于是Our new policy is part of our efforts to halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations. 就是说 他们洗心革面 不做那些有导向性的广告和文章了,这个新政策目的是为了 停止那些每年对本土资源的掠夺
谢谢jhhuzhle~~了解原文的大概意思了~~不过还是不太明白这里的削弱点,是这样理解吗:E的这点是说旧政策还是有好处的,所以没必要 no longer publish articles or。。。? 可是问题是要削弱新政策达不到halt this yearly plundering of our native plant populations的目的啊?我看不出E是如何让政策达不到目的的感觉~~困惑。。。
