ageby80%within15yearsofthestartofexploitation.Insomelong-fishedareas,ithashalvedagainsincethen.接下來就是從這些句子中找到與某個選項一致的地方了。首先看A選項，意思是：在一些老漁場，大型捕食者的數量已經減少了90％。請看原文的這句話：AccordingtotheirlatestpaperpublishedinNature,thebiomassoflargepredators(animalsthatkillandeatotheranimals)inanewfisheryisreducedo ageby80%within15yearsofthestartofexploitation.Insomelong-fishedareas,ithashalvedagainsincethen大體意思是說，捕食者的數量在看出，A選項是正確的。接著是B選項，意思是：與15年前相比，現在只剩下一半數量的魚了。上面的解釋如果看懂了，自然能排除此選項了。然后是C選項，意思是：在新漁場所捕獲到的魚的尺寸只有起初數量的20％了。Size除了尺寸之外，的確也有數量的意思，但是請注意，原文中說的是捕食者largepredators下降了80％，而該選項并未提到，因此屬于比較的干擾項，不能入選。最后是D選項，意思是在新漁場里，大型捕食者的數量下降應該是相反的，即在老漁場下降的快。可能有些人錯把ithashalvedagainsincethen理解成老漁場從那時起只降低了一半，因此得出了80％>50%的結論，選擇了D。但是原文中的again這個詞表明了是在80％的基礎上又少了一半，因此應該是90％>80%.標準答案是：C。由題目定位到第三段第一句，意思是說這些數據是保守的。由中文可知，意思是說實際的數相反，正因為技術進步了，所以捕獲的應該會才對。因此該選項排除。最后是D選項，意思是所收集的數據過標準答案是：D。由題設可定位到原文的最后一段，觀察DrMyers所說的話，DrMyersandDrWormarguethattheirworkgivesacorrectbaseline,whichfuturemanagementeffortsmusttakeintoaccount.Theybelievethedatasupportanideacurrentamongmarinebiologists,thatofthe"shiftingbaseline"。意思是說未來的漁業管理應該改變一下基準，即shiftingbaseline。因此聯系D選項：人們應該調節一下漁業基準來改變現在的形勢。因此入選。再看A選項，意思是：人因此該選項排除。接著看B選項，意思是：漁業應該將捕魚量降低到總數量的50％以下。在原文尋找50％這個字眼，找到了這句：Thatmattersbecausetheorysuggeststhatthe umsustainableyieldthatcanbecroppedfromafisherycomeswhenthebiomassofaspeciesisabout50%ofitsoriginallevels。這句話比較有難度，大體意思是說當某特量如果連起初的50％都不到，就應該降低捕魚數量了。而B選項的意思是說捕魚量不要超過總數量的50％，顯然兩者是有區別的，因此不能入選。最后是C選項，意思是海洋生物的數量應該恢復到起始水平。這個選項有些夸張2006TextManythingsmakepeoplethinkartistsareweird.Buttheweirdestmaybethis:artists’onlyjobistoexploreemotions,andyettheychoosetofocusontheonesthatfeelbad.Thiswasn’talwaysso.Theearliestformsofart,likepaintingandmusic,arethosebestsuitedforexpressingjoy.Butsomewherefromthe19thcenturyonward,moreartistsbeganseeinghappinessasmeaningless,phonyor,worstofall,boring,aswewentfromWordsworth’sdaffodilstoBaudelaire’sflowersofevil.Youcouldarguethatartbecamemoreskepticalofhappinessbecausemoderntimeshaveseensomuisery.Butit’snotasifearliertimesdidn’tknowperpetualwar,disasterandthemassacreofinnocents.Thereason,infact,maybejusttheopposite:thereistoomuchdamnhappinessintheworldtoday.Afterall,whatistheonemodernformofexpressionalmostcompleydedicatedtodepictinghappiness？Advertising.Theriseofanti-happyartalmostexactlytrackstheemergenceofmassmedia,andwithit,acommercialcultureinwhichhappinessisnotjustanidealbutanideology.Peopleinearliererasweresurroundedbyremindersofmisery.Theyworkeduntilexhausted,livedwithfewprotectionsanddiedyoung.IntheWest,beforemasscommunicationandliteracy,themostpowerfulmassmediumwasthechurch,whichremindedworshippersthattheirsoulswereindangerandthattheywouldsomedaybemeatforworms.Givenallthis,theydidnotexactlyneedtheirarttobeabummertoo.TodaythemessagestheaverageWesternerissurroundedwitharenotreligiousbutcommercialandforeverhappy.Fast-foodeaters,newsanchors,textmessengers,allsmiling,smiling.Ourmagazinesfeaturebeamingcelebr
