2,說有個人,提出個什麼保護鳥的計畫叫GREEN BIRD來代替原來個RED BIRDS,這個 GREEN BIRD PLAN意思是如果沒證據說有個鳥瀕臨EXTINCTION,那就把這鳥當成正常, 然後AUTHOR 說這樣不行,說在TROPIC地區,RESEARCHER還是什麼的以前都不去,鳥如果都 危險了還當它正常,那不壞菜了嗎,又提了RED BIRD PLAN,這裏注意看,有個題問RED BIRDS 和GREEN BIRD 類比什麼,之後又談了TROPIC 地區,這裏鳥的種類最多,這裏也有題. 好象AUTHOR 說要有比較靠譜的PLAN,要CASE BY CASE的研究.後面有個問作者的題和這個 有關. 關於保護鳥類計畫的RC,在prayer的基礎上再加些老的JJ,他寫到的我就不重複了. 原來這還是以前的一篇高頻JJ,暈掉. V1: 關於對受保護動物的記錄的方法 關於對受保護動物的記錄的方法,提出一個red book,另一個是green list, 然後舉出了赤道國家的瀕臨滅絕的動物和red book不相符的例子,然後就說 green list的好處。 出了一個主題題,具體內容我忘了,我選的答案就是該文的第一句話的改寫。 V2 第三篇講鳥類保護的,本來是有一個red book,上面list endangered species, 但是一個人提出改革成為green list, 說明哪些鳥類是一定safe的。然後講green list 的好處有哪些。red book的支持者又argue其好處有哪些。 2、考了red book和green list的那篇。長。之前有人(prayer?geranium?) 發了一篇背景資料,要看熟!非常有幫助!雖然文章說的不完全一樣, 但是提前瞭解了紅書和綠名單的概念和不同點是很有幫助的!題目難,繞。 附:該背景材料(zz) Each year the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), the world's largest independent conservation organization, updates its Red Data Book which lists worldwide plant and animal species known to be endangered, vulnerable or rare. Out of approximately 950 species of bats in the world, the 1988 Red Data Book lists only 33 bat species in these categories— less than 4% of the total. This proportionately small number should lead anyone with even a remote awareness of the worldwide extinction crisis to be suspicious. Why then, does the red list stray so far from an accurate picture of the real problem? First, consider that the IUCN red list has a substantial geographic bias toward North American species. There are 39 species of bats in North America (exclusive of Mexico),1 comprising about 5% of the worldwide bat diversity. However, five of the 33 species on the list are North American*— thus a fauna comprising only 5% of the total accounts for 15% of the number considered threatened or endangered.** Far from reflecting reality, the red list reflects our ignorance regarding the status of most species. We simply have more knowledge about the status of bats in North America than we do for most other parts of the world. In fact, our ignorance is so extreme that we are not even certain how accurate the IUCN list is for many North American species. We simply do not have the data to determine whether they are stable, increasing or decreasing, and at what rates. Given this lack of information and the fact that most bats investigated are declining, the IUCN red list gives an inaccurate and minimal assessment of the current crisis. A different approach Conservation biologists recently have suggested that constructing red lists has been a major tactical error.2 The mere existence of such lists can lead to the assumption that if a species is not listed, it is not in jeopardy. A great many species that are not on any threatened or endangered list, should be, but we do not know enough about them. A major problem is that to be included, the extent and rate of decline must be documented, but since in many cases, past populations have not been studied, this data is often not available. To correct this problem, it has been suggested that rather than putting together red lists, we should construct "green lists." Green lists would index species known to be secure.*** Species that are not green-listed would include those whose status is undetermined; given the grand scale of wildlife habitat loss throughout the world, we should consider all species not on a green list to be threatened and act accordingly. Thus, the burden of proof would be shifted to those who maintain that all is well with a species. 12/24 新增 第一篇:red book和green book的閱讀,有問到(順序可能不對): 1.purpose of the paragraph, 我選提出strategy to correct a traditionally held view(大意),B 2.第一段中那些支持採用red book的科學家assume: 3. 從5個選項中找出一個與red book 和green book 的關係相似的example D. E中選一個,前面三個irrelevant 4. 選項中哪個不對:選那個科學家對熱帶地區的species還沒有categorize的。 我的理解是原文的意思是說科學家其實已經研究了熱帶存在的動物種類,但是沒有 跟蹤記錄下去。但這個選項是說科學家對熱帶的種類還沒開始研究。 12/26 新增 2. Red book v.s. Green list 考了一個主題 還有一題是問Red book v.s. Green list 這兩種東西比較接近下列哪個選項 一個選項是說 一台車要修改的少 一台車要修改的多 我選這個不過應該錯了 另一個選項說 一個supply 少 一個sufficient 之類的 應該是這個吧 1/2 新增 2 red book, green book 那個(問,1下面哪個例子可以表示這倆者的關係, 2同意紅書的人的觀點建立再哪中假設基礎上,3問結構主旨,我選那個作者指出就技術 的錯誤。。)\ 公鳥給母鳥餵食那題,問下面哪種情況根據文章是會發生的?我選的,nest predation 的鳥類的母鳥會leave the nest alone when foraging。 2 red book, green book 那個(問,1下面哪個例子可以表示這倆者的關係,2同意紅書 的人的觀點建立再哪中假設基礎上,3問結構主旨,我選那個作者指出就技術的錯誤。。) 3.Green list, Red book 問題#:那些支持Red book的科學家assume: 他們覺得book挺全的 問題#:Green list, Red book 類比: limited supply, sufficient storage 問題#:關於那些熱帶小鳥的研究哪個錯:科學家們現在才開始研究他們
