楼主能大概地说下GWD的那个阅读 是关于什么的么 蛾子的啥

难道是这个?

A small number of the forest species of lepidoptera (moths and butterflies, which exist as caterpillars during most of their life cycle) exhibit regularly recurring patterns of population growth and decline—such fluctuations in population are known as population cycles.  Although many different variables influence population levels, a regular pattern such as a population cycle seems to imply a dominant, driving force.  Identification of that driving force, however, has proved surprisingly elusive despite considerable research. The common approach of studying causes of population cycles by measuring the mortality caused by different agents, such as predatory birds or parasites, has been unproductive in the case of lepidoptera.  Moreover, population ecologists’ attempts to alter cycles by changing the caterpillars’ habitat and by reducing caterpillar populations have not succeeded. In short, the evidence implies that these insect populations, if not self-regulating, may at least be regulated by an agent more intimately connected with the insect than are predatory birds or parasites.
     Recent work suggests that this agent may be a virus.  For many years, viral disease had been reported in declining populations of caterpillars, but population ecologists had usually considered viral disease to have contributed to the decline once it was underway rather than to have initiated it. The recent work has been made possible by new techniques of molecular biology that allow viral DNA to be detected at low concentrations in the environment.  Nuclear polyhedrosis viruses are hypothesized to be the driving force behind population cycles in lepidoptera in part because the viruses themselves follow an infectious cycle in which, if protected from direct sun light, they may remain virulent for many years in the environment, embedded in durable crystals of polyhedrin protein. Once ingested by a caterpillar, the crystals dissolve, releasing the virus to infect the insect’s cells. Late in the course of the infection, millions of new virus particles are formed and enclosed in polyhedron crystals. These crystals reenter the environment after the insect dies and decomposes, thus becoming available to infect other caterpillars.
     One of the attractions of this hypothesis is its broad applicability. Remarkably, despite significant differences in habitat and behavior, many species of lepidoptera have population cycles of similar length, between eight and eleven years.  Nuclear polyhedrosis viral infection is one factor these disparate species share.

T-9-20:GWD-13-34:
Which of the following, if true, would most weaken the author’s conclusion in lines 25-30?
A.    New research reveals that the number of species of birds and parasites that prey on lepidoptera has dropped significantly in recent years.
B.    New experiments in which the habitats of lepidoptera are altered in previously untried ways result in the shortening of lepidoptera population cycles.
C.    Recent experiments have revealed that the nuclear polyhedrosis virus is present in a number of predators and parasites of lepidoptera.
D.    Differences among the habitats of lepidoptera species make it difficult to assess the effects of weather on lepidoptera population cycles.
E.    Viral disease is typically observed in a large proportion of the lepidoptera population.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

B.    identify behavioral factors in lepidoptera that affect survival rates
C.    identify possible methods for controlling lepidoptera population growth
D.    provide evidence that lepidoptera populations are self-regulating
E.    determine the life stages of lepidoptera at which mortality rates are highest
--------------------------------------------------------------------

C.    present a hypothesis about the driving force behind population cycles in Lepidoptera

就是这篇！

题目基本相同的，但是有变体，但大概意思是一致的
