Question:
It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
-
A.
it’s impossible for scientists to identify the causes of mass extinctions of species -
B.
hunting is the major contributing factor that speeds up the extinction of species -
C.
the current mass extinction is different from the other five in that it is caused by humans -
D.
habitat destruction makes a minor contribution to the current mass extinction of species
Reference explanation:
Correct Answer:
Knowledge: Reading comprehension
Explain:
It can be inferred from the passage that _____________
A. Scientists could not determine the cause of the mass extinction of species
B. Hunting is a major factor contributing to the rate of species extinction
C. The current mass extinction differs from the other five in that it is man-made
D. Habitat destruction is only a small part of the current mass extinction of species
Information:
– There have been five such extinctions, each provoked by cataclysmic evolutionary events caused by some geological eruption, climate shift, or space junk slamming into the Earth. Scientists now believe that another mass extinction of species is currently under way – and this time human fingerprints are on the trigger. => select
– Hunting is no longer the major culprit, although rare birds and animals continue to be butchered for their skin, feathers, tuks, and internal organs, or taken as savage pets. => type BUG
– Today the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitat of wild plants, animals, and insects need to survive. => EASY type
– Scientists have identified two ways in which species disappear. => class A
Translated:
– There have been five such extinctions, each caused by catastrophic evolutionary events by some geological eruption, climate change, or space junk falling to Earth. Scientists now believe another mass extinction is on the way – and this time with human involvement.
– Hunting is no longer the main cause, although rare birds and animals continue to be stolen for their skins, feathers, tusks and internal organs, or as aggressive pets. evil.
– Today, the main threat comes from the destruction of the habitats of wild plants, animals and insects that are needed to survive.
– Scientists have identified two ways that animals disappear.
