以下是引用bettyamen在2005-1-21 12:40:00的发言: In a certain wildlife park, park rangers are able to track the movements of many rhinoceroses because those animals wear radio collars. When, as often happens, a collar slips off, it is put back on.   utting a collar on a rhinoceros involves immobilizing the animal by shooting it with a tranquilizer dart. Female rhinoceroses that have been frequently recollared have significantly lower fertility rates than uncollared females.   robably, therefore, some substance in the tranquilizer inhibits fertility.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
- The dose of tranquilizer delivered by a tranquilizer dart is large enough to give the rangers putting collars on rhinoceroses a generous margin of safety.
- The fertility rate of uncollared female rhinoceroses in the park has been increasing in the past few decades.
- Any stress that female rhinoceroses may suffer as a result of being immobilized and handled has little or no negative effect on their fertility.
- The male rhinoceroses in the wildlife park do net lose their collars as often as the park’s female rhinoceroses do.
E.The tranquilizer used in immobilizing rhinoceroses is the same as the tranquilizer used in working with other large mammals. 这题为什么选C呢,我是在A和C 之间想了很久,但因为不太理解C 的意思所以放弃选C,那个any stress指的是什么, Thank you babyleader to figure out the problem. 
mh,这题为什么你看A顺眼呢?我做了一下这题,一开始就派出A的,看到B我犹豫一下,继续看到C,感觉是典型他因派出型答案,D,E都不对。接下来,我说说我大概是怎么个思考过程。
A说镇静剂的剂量大到足够让护园人能安全的工作,即使连很小的危险可能性都不让有。这个不是架设,因为我觉得虽然我们从中知道镇静剂的量很大,但是我们不知道这个量是否对母犀牛的生殖能力产生影响。所以是个没有给出确定因素的选项,排除。而且这个选项给出的东西就是题目的推论,只是换个说法证明剂量大而已。
B说了没有带跟踪器的母犀牛的生殖能力近年来上升了。我看了以后想到,这个可能是有点点沾边,没有深入想下去,再看下面的选项
C说母犀牛被固定和处理不会给它们带来一点点地导致生殖能力下降的压力。这个就是个好的架设了,基本上不看其他选项,我也可以80%断定这个是答案。如果把C倒过来说,也就是取非,母犀牛的生殖能力可能是受到了固定和处理过程产生压力的影响而下降的,那么就否定了是镇静剂造成的影响,那么原推论就不成立了。
D说公犀牛没有那么容易掉落跟踪器。我们从中推出,它们更少被固定处理,打镇静剂,带回跟踪器这一系列过程。那么我们可以推出,它们的生殖能力较少可能被影响。但是D始终没有派出掉可能是压力而不是镇静剂造成生育能力下降的因素,所以我认为是不对的。也可以把D取非,原推论还是存在的。
E说镇静剂的量和用在其他大哺乳动物身上的一样。这个选项有点无关哦。
总之,我看到C后基本就觉得是答案了,除非D和E里有特别的说法,我没有想到的说法,我会考虑和比较。
上面是我的理解。你看看,我们再讨论。 |
