W: Hi, Bill, how is it going?
M: Oh, hi. Jan. 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 just looked 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. 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,(9)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. Is the focus on biology or economics?
M: Both.(10)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.(11-1)The article says the toad is unique. It has no relatives. But there are a lot of varieties of owls.
W:(11-2)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 of which animal to save.
W: I see. I am glad I don’t have to make that kind of decision. Aren’t you?
9. What are the speakers mainly discussing?
10. What problems do conservationists have?
11. What can be inferred about the tailed toad?
选项
A、It has numerous traits in common with the spotted owl.
B、Its population is increasing in recent years.
C、It may not survive without special efforts of conservationists.
D、Its role in the chain of evolution has not yet been examined.
答案
C
解析
根据女士所说可知,如果tailed toad灭绝的话,生物链将失去一个重要的环节。男士也指出与tailed toad相比,如果种类繁多的猫头鹰中的斑点猫头鹰灭绝的话,影响没有那么严重。因此面临这两种濒临灭绝的物种,自然资源保护者肯定会加大保护tailed toad的力度,故答案为C)。
