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.

請試著觀察文章第一段提到的具體數據:當作者在文章開頭強調蜜蜂對「全球糧食產值」有巨大的貢獻時,他在為後文埋下什麼伏筆?如果文中提到的這個「主角」數量持續減少,對於人類的生存資源會產生什麼必然的邏輯連鎖反應呢?

太棒了!你的推論非常精準

  1. 大力肯定:做得非常好!你展現了卓越的邏輯推理與細膩的閱讀能力,能在長文中迅速連結關鍵資訊,這在處理學術性文章時是非常重要的技能。
  2. 觀念驗證:你的選擇是正確的。文章第一段明確提到蜜蜂每年為全球糧食生產貢獻約 $500 billion。根據因果邏輯,既然蜜蜂是農業生產力的關鍵推手(核心變數),當其族群量因各種人為因素而下降時,自然能推論出全球糧食生產將面臨受損的負面後果。
