Environmentalist: The commissioner of the Fish and Game Authority would have the public believe that increases in the number of marine fish caught demonstrate that this resource is no longer endangered. This is a specious argument, as unsound as it would be to assert that the ever-increasing rate at which rain forests are being cut down demonstrates a lack of danger to that resource. The real cause of the increased fish-catch is a greater efficiency in using technologies that deplete resources.

The environmentalist's statements, if true, best support which of the following as a conclusion?


The use of technology is the reason for the increasing encroachment of people on nature.

It is possible to determine how many fish are in the sea in some way other than by catching fish.

The proportion of marine fish that are caught is as high as the proportion of rain forest trees that are cut down each year.

Modern technologies waste resources by catching inedible fish.

Marine fish continue to be an endangered resource.

考题讲解

情景：环境学家说：FGA委员会觉得，被捕海鱼数量的增加表明了海鱼不再濒危。这是一个华而不实的说法，好比由砍树量增加推出树不再濒危一样。被捕海鱼数量之所以增加，是因为捕鱼技术的提高。

推理：由于推理文段中没有结论，并且题目让我们自己找出结论，所以本题为演绎推理。

选题方式：略

选项分析：

A选项：技术的运用是人们对自然的侵犯逐渐增加的原因。文段中人类对自然侵犯的原因。

B选项： 除了捕鱼之外，还有其他途径来了解鱼的数量。文段中没有提到过此信息。

C选项： 每年，被捕鱼的比例跟被砍树的比例一样高。文段中没有提到过此信息。

D选项： 现代技术捕获了不能吃的鱼，从而浪费了资源。文段中没有提到过此信息。

E选项：Correct. 海鱼仍然是濒危物种。文段中用了树木和海鱼做了类比，因为树木濒危，所以环境专家一定也认为海鱼濒危。
