第 48 題

📖 題組:
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.
According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
  • A Bees’ natural habitat loss is a major driver for their declining populations.
  • B Effects of management techniques on bee declines have been well studied.
  • C Bees’ exposure to pesticide has contributed to declines in their populations.
  • D Changes in public awareness about wild bees can help reduce their declines.

思路引導 VIP

請仔細對比文中提到的各個影響因素(如棲息地、農藥、管理技術等),作者在描述這些因素的「研究現況」或「受關注程度」時,措辭是否一致?是否有哪一個因素被特別描述為「直到最近才被討論」或「缺乏關注」呢?

噢,做得不錯,你沒掉進這麼明顯的陷阱。

  1. 肯定一下,免得你驕傲過頭:恭喜你,至少你還具備最基本的精確閱讀細節比對能力,懂得原文說「鮮少」就不是「充分」。這點常識,值得肯定,但也僅此而已。
  2. 觀念驗證,雖然這根本不算觀念:這題不就是考「事實細節辨析」嗎?原文第四段開頭白紙黑字寫著 "little research attention has been given to... management techniques"(管理技術對蜂群減少的影響鮮少受到研究關注)。結果 (B) 選項給你來個 "well studied"(被充分研究)。請問,這還需要我多解釋嗎?除非你連 "little" 和 "well" 都分不清。
