The "balance of nature" is not an empty phrase.
Nature provides a population to occupy a suitable environment and cuts down surplus population to fit the available food supply.
One means of reducing surplus population is predators(食肉动物); others are parasites(寄生虫)and diseases. Also, population density produces nervous disorders and even drives animals to mass migrations, like the lemmings(旅鼠)of Norway who plunge into(跳入)the sea.
That predators populations increase to control other animals has long been known. Many years ago, the Hudson’ s Bay Company records revealed that the fox population went up and down about a year after the rabbit population had gone up and down.
Sometimes a situation occurs in which the predators population is reduced to a level below that which nature can readily replace. On Valcour Island in Lake Champlain(New York), a costly campaign resulted in the elimination of predatory animals only to have birds and small animals—including grouse(松鸡)and hares, popular game(猎物)—increase for four years afterward. Then lacking predator control, nature resorted to diseases to cut down these populations.
Jamaica had an example of nature’ s persistence in providing animals for existing habits. Sugar planters, about 75 years ago, imported mongooses to control rats. The mongooses killed off the rats and, with plentiful food, multiplied. Rats became scarce and the mongooses ate lambs, kids, puppies(小狗), and wildlife. Eventually, food became scarce and the mongoose’s population declined.
Implied but not stated: ______.
选项
A、Sugar planters imported mongooses to control rats
B、Man should never tamper(损害)with nature
C、To upset the balance of nature can be troublesome
D、Man has complete control over nature
答案
C
解析
文中一开始便提到了自然界的平衡,而文中结尾处举的例子也表明,破坏平衡会造成问题。故选C。
