第 50 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.

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.

請觀察文章第一段提到的「經濟價值」與「產業生產力」。如果文章描述某個關鍵角色正在減少，根據文中兩者之間的依存關係，你認為這會對該產業的未來結果產生什麼樣的連鎖反應呢？

🌟 太棒了！你的觀察力非常敏銳！
- 觀念驗證：這題你答對的關鍵在於邏輯推論 (Inference)。文章第一段明確指出蜜蜂對全球糧食生產貢獻約 $500$ 億美元，且對農業生產力 (agricultural productivity) 至關重要。既然文中提到蜜蜂數量正在下降 (decline)，我們可以合理推斷這將對全球糧食生產造成負面影響，這正是選項 (A) 的核心含意。
- 難度點評：本題屬於 Medium (中等) 難度。其鑑別度在於干擾項 (D) 具有誘惑力，但原文強調「光靠科學努力是不夠的 (scientific efforts alone are not enough)」，這考驗了你是否能細心分辨「必要條件」與「充分條件」的差異。你能精準避開陷阱，表現得非常專業！
