24-7 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.群

(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.

B为什么不对呀？

答案为D

在非洲和亚洲，大规模的农业化使得大量的自然植物减少．由于这些原有的自然植物是大象来意生存的．所以农业化使的大象们为了不饿肚子只好去吃耕种的土地．结果农民们辛辛苦苦的耕地被大象破坏（吃了）．但是如果说使那些原来的自然植物从新生长，大象吃庄稼这个现象也不会减弱－－－问原因．

答这种解释题重要的就是看到要解释的内容，也就是红色部分．这样看来，不难理解．原因就是大象更喜欢吃庄稼．而不是Ｂ

懂了,原文说的raiding袭击指的是吃庄稼,而不是破坏庄稼,要解释的是大象为什么还会吃庄稼
