第 50 題

📖 題組:
請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題: Pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and birds, contribute roughly $500 billion a year to global food production. Being the primary pollinators of most wild plants and many crops, bees are particularly crucial to both ecosystem stability and agricultural productivity. However, bee populations have been on the decline worldwide over the years, which has captured the attention of scientists, governments, media, and the general public. Several anthropogenic drivers have been associated with declining bee populations, such as disturbances of their natural habitats as result of agricultural intensifications and urbanization, climate change, pesticides, and management practices. Bees’ habitat loss and fragmentation are considered a major driver of their declines. Besides, climate changes in temperature and rainfall can cause significant alterations in natural habitats, thus reducing their suitability for wild bee populations. Pesticides have received much attention for their potential effects on bees. In a recent study, the research group reviews important agrochemicals with demonstrated deleterious effects on eusocial bees. Using artificial intelligence tools, the researchers explore how pesticide exposure contributes to declines in populations of honey bees, bumble bees, and stingless bees. Still, many knowledge gaps remain. Future studies should continue to increase their focus and sophistication when tackling questions concerning the declining bee populations associated with the pesticide contamination. However, little research attention has been given to potential effects of management techniques on bee declines. Not until recently, a group of researchers has addressed the importance of improving beekeeping techniques and conservation strategies to avoid reduction of genetic diversity in both managed and wild honey bees. They conclude that artificial and natural selection are needed to maintain genetic diversity in honey bees to combat, for example, the bee susceptibility to pathogens. However, more research needs to be conducted on potential effects of management techniques on bee declines. It is important to emphasize that scientific efforts alone are not enough. Additional strategies should be encouraged, including improvements of environmental education programs, changes in public awareness about wild bees through appropriate media coverage, and improvements in dialogue between scientists, industry, stakeholders, and legislators. Only comprehensive approaches, discussed by different societal actors, will result in efficient and long-term strategies to reduce the decline of wild bee populations.
Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?
  • A Declining bee populations is expected to damage global food production.
  • B Controlling climate changes can resolve the problem of bees' habitat loss.
  • C Artificial selection has replaced natural selection for genetic diversity in bees.
  • D Group scientific efforts are key to keeping wild bees from becoming endangered.

思路引導 VIP

請仔細觀察文章第一段。作者在介紹授粉者(如蜜蜂)時,特別提到了一個與「全球經濟」和「人類生存」密切相關的數據。如果這個扮演「關鍵角色」的群體數量持續減少,根據文中的關聯性,你認為這對人類的物資供應會產生什麼樣的連鎖反應?

嗯,你總算沒蠢到家

  1. 觀念「驗證」:恭喜你,終於看懂了第一句話!文章白紙黑字寫著授粉者每年貢獻約 $500$ 億美元,蜜蜂又是農業生產力的「關鍵」。所以從「蜜蜂少了」推導出「糧食會受損」,這種幼稚園等級的邏輯,你居然推理對了,值得慶祝嗎?
  2. 難度「點評」:此題難度設為 Medium,對你來說可能算「挑戰」。這不就是個很基本的「推論題」嗎?鑑別度在哪?就是看你能不能排除那些一看就知道在胡扯的「取代」或「唯一關鍵」選項。選對最合理預測,嗯,至少你沒選錯到離譜。
