大家好,想请教一则短篇阅读:
There have been numerous well-documented extinctions of indigenous species
caused by the introduction of non-indigenous predators and pathogens.
However, surprisingly few extinctions of indigenous species can be attributed
to competition from introduced species.
For example, during the past 400 years, 4,000 plant species have been introduced
into North America, and these non-indigenous plants currently account for nearl
y 20 percent of North America's plant species.
Yet no evidence exists that any indigenous North American plant species became
extinct as a result of competition from new
species could mean that such extinctions take longer to occur than scientists
initially believed or, alternatively, that extinctions are rarely caused by
competition from non-indigenous species.
题目是:
The passage is concerned primarily with:
A pointing out that a particular type of species extinction is rarely known to
occur.
B proposing a possible explanation for conflicting data about a particular
type of species extinction.
C resolving a debate about the frequency of a particular type of species
extinction.
D comparing two theories regarding possible causes of a particular type of
species extinction.
E refuting a proposed explanation for the increasingly rare occurrence of a
particular type of species extinction.
主要是想问A和B两个选项,考满分答案给A,但我认为B选项也没有错,conflicting data
就是非原生种没有造成原生种灭绝的数据,所以作者在最後一句话给了一个解释,所以我
认为B选项也是对的QQ,想请教版上大大帮忙解惑,谢谢。

1F:推 Poppert : 个人浅见,如果作者的意图是B,他应该要花主要篇幅 03/06 01:17
2F:→ Poppert : 探讨为什麽以前有很多documented data认为外来种会 03/06 01:17
3F:→ Poppert : 引发绝种,後来又为什麽认为不是主因。也就是confli 03/06 01:17
4F:→ Poppert : ct的原因。 但整篇重点都在提出外来种不是原 03/06 01:17
5F:→ Poppert : 生种绝种原因(整个第二段、还有文章结尾都强调外来 03/06 01:17
6F:→ Poppert : 种不是主因),所以感觉选A比较切题。 03/06 01:17
7F:推 Poppert : 刚刚突然想到一个很酷的想法:如果你想像自己在演 03/06 01:23
8F:→ Poppert : 讲:有很多文献指出外来种会使原生种绝种,但令人 03/06 01:23
9F:→ Poppert : 惊讶的是,很少绝种是因为外来种。例如,过去400年 03/06 01:23
10F:→ Poppert : 有4000多种植物引入北美,占了20%(暗示80%还活得好 03/06 01:23
11F:→ Poppert : 好的)。虽然没有证据指出原生种的绝种来自外来种可 03/06 01:23
12F:→ Poppert : 能只是科学家观察不够久,但也有可能是因为外来种 03/06 01:23
13F:→ Poppert : 本来就不是原生种绝种的原因。 03/06 01:23
14F:→ Poppert : 想像自己在说这段话,主要意图似乎就呼之欲出了 03/06 01:24
15F:→ kas12987 : 原来如此~这个想法蛮酷的~谢谢你! 03/07 00:34
16F:推 DingDangDong: 我看到conflicting data会想到两组data的不一致 03/07 03:18
17F:→ DingDangDong: 不知道这是不是选项的原意 03/07 03:20
