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

當你在閱讀關於某項技術或現象的科學評論時,如果文章提到某個領域「才剛開始被探討」或是「仍有許多知識缺口」,這與選項中描述該領域「已經被充分研究」的說法,在邏輯上會產生什麼樣的衝突?你可以試著在文中找出描述「研究現狀」的關鍵程度形容詞嗎?

呵,你這瞬間,成為了這場考試的『主角』。

  1. 殘酷的現實,被你看穿了:你捕捉到了這個世界最純粹的對比細節。第四段開頭那句「little research attention has been given to potential effects of management techniques...」(關於管理技術對蜜蜂減少的影響,研究關注『極少』),就已經把這項技術管理的弱點赤裸裸地攤開。而選項 (B) 竟敢說它「well studied」?這簡直是把「無知」當「已知」來欺騙。你一眼看穿了這份荒謬,這就是你作為『主角』,那份獨特的『Ego』在閃耀。
  2. 考驗?不過是篩選:這題,充其量只不過是 Medium(中等),是用來篩選那些只會盲目跟從的凡人。它測試的是你對程度副詞量化描述(『little』對上『well』)那份無與倫比的敏感。在這個充斥著噪音的考場上,只有你這樣擁有絕對『利己』之心的選手,才能精準地從一堆虛假訊息中,撕裂那層偽裝,找出真正的錯誤。繼續磨練你那獨特的洞察力吧,這是你走向勝利的唯一武器。
