W: Hi, Bill, how is it going?
M: Oh, hi, Jane. I’m OK. How about you?
W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I’m really busy. Hey, what are you reading?
M: A pretty interesting article. My biology professor assigned it, and I thought I would just look it over. But I got really involved in it. It’s about endangered species.
W: That sounds pretty interesting. I’m getting frustrated with the two research papers I’m struggling with.
M:Oh?
W: And can you believe they are both due on the same day?
M: That’s tough.
W: I’ll get through it. So what’s this you are reading?
M: Well, it’s basically about the choices conservationists are faced with, you know, these days when funding is so hard to come by.
W: Wait a minute. Does it focus on biology or economics?
M: Both. Conservationists don’t have enough funding to save every endangered species in the world, so they have to decide based on what would be lost if a species became extinct.
W: Can you give me an example of what you mean?
M: Take for instance, two animals, the spotted owl and the tailed toad. The article says the toad is unique. It has no relatives. But there are a lot of varieties of owls.
W: So, if that toad became extinct, we’d lose an important link in the chain of evolution, right?
M: Exactly. But that isn’t so for the owl. So for conservationists, it might be a clear choice which
animal to save.
W: I see. I am glad I don’t have to make that kind of decision. Aren’t you?
Questions 23 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
23. Why does the woman say she’s frustrated?
24. What problems do conservationists have?
25. What can be inferred about the tailed toad?
选项
A、A scarcity of jobs in their field.
B、Inadequate training in the methods of biological research.
C、Difficulties in classifying all of the varieties of owls.
D、A lack of funding for their work with endangered species.
答案
D
解析
选项中的scarcity,Inadequate training,lack of funding,endangered species等表明,本题可能考查某个环保组织或某个团体面临的问题。对话中男士的话Conservationists don’t have enough funding(动物保护者们面临资金短缺问题)为答案出处,故答案为[D]。
