这道题我想了很久,终于想通了,分享一下拙见
100. Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium transmitted to humans by deer ticks. Generally, deer ticks pick up the bacterium while in the larval stage by feeding on infected white-footed mice. However, certain other species on which the larvae feed do not harbor the bacterium. If the population of these other species were increased, more of the larvae would be feeding on uninfected hosts, so the number of ticks acquiring the bacterium would likely decline.
Which of the following would it be most important to ascertain in evaluating the argument?
(A) Whether populations of the other species on which deer tick larvae feed are found only in areas also inhabited by white-footed mice
(B) Whether the size of the deer tick population is currently limited by the availability of animals for the tick's larval stage to feed on
Larvae A:Mice(带病毒)
B:other species(不带病毒)
如果AB总数量被限制,当B增加时候(A不变),Larvae会吃更多B,从而减少病毒摄入(因为吃A的数量相对减少)
注意红色字体部分,说明这些larvae是会选择性先吃没有被感染的食物,而这种情况只能出现在食物充足的时候;相对的,当食物不充足的时候,Larvae才会去吃被感染的食物
