想要請問一下為什麼第五題答案是A 我是選D 可是我不知道D為什麼錯... 麻煩大家指導一下 感謝! 5. Which of the following can be concluded from the discussion in paragraph 3 about the Australian rabbit population? ○Human intervention may alter the host, the parasite, and the relationship between them. (我覺得最後一句 natural selection stabilized this host-parasite relationship. 意思不是說 自然選擇還是會讓這個情況穩定-->那人類應該沒辦法改變?) ○The risks of introducing outside organisms into a biological community are not worth the benefits. ○Humans should not interfere in host-parasite relationships. ○Organisms that survive a parasitic attack do so in spite of the natural selection process. Paragraph 3: At times, it is actually possible to watch the effects of natural selection in host-parasite relationships. For example, Australia during the 1940 s was overrun by hundreds of millions of European rabbits. The rabbits destroyed huge expanses of Australia and threatened the sheep and cattle industries. In 1950, myxoma virus, a parasite that affects rabbits, was deliberately introduced into Australia to control the rabbit population. Spread rapidly by mosquitoes, the virus【devastated】 the rabbit population. The virus was less deadly to the offspring of surviving rabbits, however, and it caused less and less harm over the years. Apparently, genotypes (the genetic make-up of an organism) in the rabbit population were selected that were better able to resist the parasite. Meanwhile, the deadliest strains of the virus perished with their hosts as natural selection favored strains that could infect hosts but not kill them. Thus, natural selection stabilized this host-parasite relationship. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.161.73.161 ※ 編輯: qqcandra 來自: 118.161.73.161 (05/05 20:46)
