问题 The primary of the purpose of the passage is to______
It can be inferred from the passage that Davis’ paradigm does NOT apply to which of the following?

选项 A、The shoreline of Florida mangrove forests first studies by Davis
B、A shoreline in an area with weak currents
C、A shoreline in an area with weak idal energy
D、A shoreline extended by “land-building” species of mangrove
E、A shoreline in which few sediments can accumulate

答案E

解析 Here you are asked to make an inference based on information that is stated in the passage. Note that the best answer will refer to a situation where Davis’s paradigm does NOT apply. Choice E is the best answer. Davis’ succession paradigm states that mangroves trap sediments over time, thus extending the shore. A shoreline where few sediments could accumulate would be unable to develop according to such a scheme. Choice A is not correct. Davis first expressed his theory of “land-building” in his study of Florida mangrove forests. Thus his paradigm presumably applies to the shoreline of those forests. Choices B and C are incorrect because the passage states that areas with weak currents and weak tidal energies are areas where land formation will progress according to Davis’ paradigm. Choice D is not correct because Davis’ paradigm describes the “land-building” process of mangroves, so a shoreline that had been extended by that process would fall within the paradigm.
