Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
The expansion of large-scale farming in Africa and Asia has destroyed much of the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended, forcing them to turn to cultivated land to satisfy their enormous appetites. As a result, farmers have lost millions of dollars worth of crops annually. Yet even if elephant sanctuaries were created on a widespread basis to guarantee elephants sufficient natural vegetation, the raiding would likely persist, since

A.when elephants forage for food, they typically travel in herds.
B.Foraging elephants have been known to cause substantial damage even to plants that they do not eat.
C.Some of the land where crops have suffered extensive damage from elephants has been allowed to return to its natural state.
D.Elephants tend to prefer cultivated crops to wild vegetation as a food source.
E.Elephant sanctuaries are usually created in areas that are rich in the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended.
答案是D，怎么推出的？

D最有可能。因为elephants 喜欢cultivated crops所以建了保护区，它们也去吃cultivated crops。
错误答案分析：
A大象找食过程中，践踏造成crops受伤，是推出来的。因为题目中没有涉及找食的方式，途径以及对c-crops的伤害程度
B同A
C被毁坏的crop lands变成natural state 不会持续破坏。
E刚好推出相反结论。Natural vegetation 多-->大象吃n-vegetation-->不去破坏crops
我读题后，一般不马上看选项，（这是我的习惯。)
我脑中的可能选项有2个
1. natural vegetation 不够，所以大象还是要吃crops
2. 大象就喜欢吃crops，就算natural vegetation够了，也要吃。
如果总结的话，就是大象吃crops。
答案D，刚好是选项2
如果E是选项1的相反

恩，解释的挺好，但我还有个不懂，如果是D的话，那之前nature vegetation没被destroy的时候大象为啥不吃crop？？

那时候大象还没进过城，不知道有如此美味啊。哈哈，开个玩笑

作者: songxueb 时间: 2013-4-3 22:06

嘿嘿，其实我也这么想过，但总觉得有个gap，就是大象们以前木有吃过crop。。。

错误答案分 ...

我有一个问题，NN说A,B这两个选项因为文中没有提及，是推断出来的所以不能选
这类题目难道不能像削弱或者加强这种，给出其他原因吗？
谢谢啦

这题我在BD中犹豫好久~最后选的是B~
我认为因为大象也对它们不吃的庄稼产生破坏~所以它们就对种植的庄稼产生破坏~
D中说大象更喜欢吃种植的庄稼~可是如果这样的话~大象一开始也对种植的庄稼产生破坏了~可是题目中不是说因为种植的庄稼占了野生的~大象才去吃种植的嘛？
谢谢NN们指教啦~~~~

LS 这个牵涉到对raiding的理解上

the raiding可以看出是对前文的一个行动的描述，前文中说到大象吃crop

那么这个raiding理解为吃crop 好于理解为单纯的破坏crop

所以就能马上理解是D更好了

Cause the stimulus says ... "has destroyed much of the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended"

That means they were originally not dependent on Cultivated land.

They turn to cultivated land only when Natural vegetation doesnt suffice.

Now when they are "guaranteed sufficient natural vegetation"
the only reason they can turn to cultivated land is they cannot differenciate between "sanctuaries " and " cultivated land."

As according to the stimulus both( "sanctuaries " and " cultivated land)are "in Africa and Asia where much of the natural vegetation on which elephants have historically depended is destroyed.
