W: Hi, John. How are things going?
M: Oh, hi. Fine. How about you?
W: You can probably tell just by looking at me. I’m really busy. (1)Well, what are you reading?
M: (I)A very interesting article. My biology professor assigned it. I thought 1 would just look it through, but I got really involved in it.(1)It’s about endangered species.
W: That sounds pretty interesting. (2)I’m getting frustrated with the two research papers I’m struggling with.
M: Oh?
W: Besides,(2)they are both due on the same day. It’s unbelievable.
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 facing with. You know, these days funding is so hard to come by.
W: Wait a minute. Is the focus on biology or economics?
M: Both.(3)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: (4)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: (4)So, if that toad became extinct, we’d lose an important link in the chain of evolution, right?
M: (4)Exactly. But that isn’t so for the owl. So for conservationist, it might be a clear choice of which animal to save.
Questions 1 to 4 are based on the conversation you have just heard.
1. What is the man doing?
2. What problem does the woman have?
3. Why can’t the conservationists save every endangered species?
4. As for these two kinds of endangered species spotted owl and tailed toad, which one will be chosen to be saved according to the conversation?
选项
A、The spotted owl.
B、The tailed toad.
C、Both of them.
D、Neither of them.
答案
B
解析
推理题。对话末尾以斑点猫头鹰和长尾蟾蜍为例进行了说明,长尾蟾蜍是独一无二的物种,没有近亲,但猫头鹰却有很多种,女士进而说明,如果长尾蟾蜍灭绝了,我们就会失去进化链中的重要一环,男士对此进行了肯定,并说而斑点猫头鹰就不会这样。再由前文说到由于资金不足,环保主义者只能从濒临灭绝的物种中选择性地进行保护。由此可推知会选择长尾蟾蜍。故选B。
