Scientists in Luisiana were s cncerned that they decided t pay hunters $5 a tail. Sme f the fur ends up in the fashin shws like the ne in Brklyn last mnth.
Nutria were brught there frm Argentina by fur farmers and let g int the wild. “The ecsystem dwn there can’t handle this nn-native species(物種). It’s destrying the envirnment. It’s them r us,” says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.
The fur trade kept nutria in check fr decades, but when the market fr nutria cllapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.
Bilgist Edmnd Mutn runs the nutria cntrl prgram fr Luisiana. He says it’s nt easy t cnvince peple that nutria fur is green, but he has n dubt abut it. Hunters bring in mre than 300,000 nutria tails a year, s part f Mutn’s jb these days is trying t prmte fur.
Then there’s Righteus Fur and its unusual fashins. Mdel Paige Mrgan says, “T give peple a guilt-free ptin that they can wear withut smene thrwing paint n them—I think that’s ging t be a massive thing, at least here in New Yrk.” Designer Jennifer Andersn admits it tk her a while t cme arund t the pinin that using nutria fur fr her creatins is mrally acceptable. She’s trying t cme up with a label t attach t nutria fashins t shw itis ec-friendly.

【語篇導(dǎo)讀】為了解決海貍鼠泛濫成災(zāi)的問題,一些生態(tài)學(xué)家及時(shí)尚愛好者正試圖重新將海貍鼠毛皮帶回市場(chǎng)。一些不同尋常的時(shí)裝秀展示了由海貍鼠的毛皮制成的衣服,并向大眾宣傳不要因?yàn)榇┐饔珊X偸竺ぶ谱鞫傻囊挛锒纳飷焊小?br>1. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由題干中的 New Orleans and Brklyn可定位至原文第二段。根據(jù)第二段可知,在新奧爾良與布魯克林舉辦這些不同尋常的時(shí)裝秀的目的是讓人們?cè)谥匦麓┥嫌珊X偸竺ぶ瞥傻囊挛锏耐瑫r(shí)不會(huì)產(chǎn)生罪惡感,即為了宣傳“零罪惡感”的海貍鼠毛皮。故選A項(xiàng)。
2. A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二段中的the nutria are destrying vast wetlands every year及第四段中的The ecsystem dwn there can’t handle this nn-native species. It’s destrying the envirnment.可知,科學(xué)家們擔(dān)心的是海貍鼠對(duì)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)造成嚴(yán)重破壞。故選A項(xiàng)。
3. D詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)畫線詞前的The fur trade kept nutria in check fr decades可知,幾十年來海貍鼠的數(shù)量都因毛皮交易而得到良好控制;再結(jié)合畫線詞后的... multiplied like crazy可知,后來海貍鼠又泛濫成災(zāi),并可推斷出造成這一現(xiàn)象的原因是毛皮交易市場(chǎng)生意慘淡,人們對(duì)海貍鼠毛皮的需求下降。由此可猜測(cè), cllapse的意思是“垮掉”,與crash意義相近。A項(xiàng)意為“繁榮”;B項(xiàng)意為“發(fā)展成熟”;C項(xiàng)意為“維持穩(wěn)定”。因此,A、B、C項(xiàng)均不符合語境。
4. B推理判斷題。由題干中的Mrgan可定位至原文最后一段。根據(jù)文章最后一段第二句可知,佩奇·摩根認(rèn)為在紐約,要讓人們?cè)诖┲蓜?dòng)物毛皮制成的衣物的同時(shí)還可以不用擔(dān)心被人潑油漆這一想法還是很大膽的,從而可推斷出,在紐約穿動(dòng)物毛皮制成的衣物是有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)的。故選B項(xiàng)。【微技能】根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容的邏輯關(guān)系猜測(cè)詞義
任何一篇文章中的句子在內(nèi)容上都不是絕對(duì)孤立的,都與句子所在的段落及整篇文章有關(guān)。在做猜測(cè)詞義題時(shí),考生應(yīng)利用上下文提供的情景和線索,進(jìn)行符合邏輯的綜合分析,并依此來推測(cè)生詞在語境中的含義。
如本題就可根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容的邏輯關(guān)系來猜測(cè)詞義,畫線詞上文的kept nutria in check(海貍鼠的數(shù)量受到控制)與下文的multiplied like crazy(瘋狂地繁殖)之間為轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,畫線詞所在部分的內(nèi)容應(yīng)是造成海貍鼠瘋狂繁殖這種后果的原因,由此可猜測(cè)這是由毛皮交易市場(chǎng)的不景氣導(dǎo)致的,再結(jié)合選項(xiàng)可知, crash 與cllapse 的意思最接近。
