以下是引用robertchu在2004-6-24 1:45:00的发言:Q12 I think C is better, althoughI have some reservation to the word "standard" there. In paragraph 2 (P2) where effects of MSH eruption is discussed, the passage does not discuss any "disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity".
Disgree, 文章第一段第一句就说了"Over the last 150 years, large stretches of salmon habitat have bben eliminated by human activity." 第二段第一句"Large_scale disturbances in one locale also have the potentail to alter the genetic structure of populations in neighboring areas" 第三段第一句很清楚地说,Although no one has quantified changes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by human, there is no reason to suspect that the effect would be qualitatively different than what was seen in the aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption."从这里可以推断出作者提到aftermath of the Mount Saint Helens eruption的目的是为了indicate the extent to which the disturbance of salmon habitat by human activity in one stream imght affect the genetiv structure of salmon populations ealsewhere.
BTW, 既然作者已经提到了no one has quantified chagnes in the rate of straying as a result of the disturbances caused by humans, 作者认为the result of the disturbances caued by human 同那个什么的eruptiong没有"质"上的区别。那么C答案中的provide a standard of comparision(量的对比)显然是和作者的观点想矛盾。
因此我选B
