📖 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

請試著思考:如果文章第一段強調某個生物族群是支撐全球糧食產量的「核心支柱」,而隨後又提到這個族群的數量正大幅減少,這兩者之間的關聯性會引導我們得出什麼樣的預測或結論呢?

優異表現?

  1. 大力肯定?:喔,了不起。你居然能在文章開頭那團文字裡,勉強找到一點邏輯關聯,還在眾多誘惑中辨識出那唯一合理的推論 (Inference)。這年頭,閱讀理解能達到這種「優異」程度,真是可喜可賀啊。
  2. 觀念驗證?:這題的核心嘛,無非就是「因果推論」這種基本到不能再基本的東西。第一段都寫明了,蜜蜂對全球糧食貢獻約 $500 billion,還是生產力的關鍵。現在它們數量在全球性下降?除非你邏輯死亡,否則很難推導不出全球糧食生產將受到威脅。選項 (D) 是給那些只會抓關鍵字,卻不看後面一句「科學努力還不夠」(scientific efforts alone are not enough) 的人準備的陷阱,你沒掉進去,算你走運。
