Northern marshes are being turned into empty, desecrated mud flat wastelanD.The culprit? Snow geesE.These marshes are the breeding ground for snow geesE.Once destroyed, some fear the species will take over the habitat of the Canada goose — a popular game bird in MinnesotA.If this happens, Minnesota hunting and land conditions could be greatly affecteD.The snow goose population has been on the rise in the last 25 years, but numbers are hitting an all-time high. This year there is an estimated 4.5 or 6 million birds, triple what the population was 25 years ago.Although effects of the snow goose invasion aren't apparent in Minneapolis, northern Minnesota and Canada can clearly see the signs. The population growth is due to the birds' wintering habits. They fly south to Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi to nest. The conditions and food availability there have made it possible for more birds to survive the winter and make the trip back north. The period over which they've increased in number correlates to a change in agriculture practices in the region.After World War Ⅱ, there was an increase in man-made fertilizers, yielding an increase of corn, rice, wheat and other crops. There have also been other changes in agricultural practices causing an increase of production in cereal crops.The geese find the agricultural areas better than the natural areas. The geese have escaped from any natural limits. They are not doing this on their own; it is in response to human practices.Usually, about 70 to 75 percent of the birds make it back to Canada in late winter and early spring. But the surviving number of snow geese has steadily climbed each year to reach 95 percent in the last couple of years. Because so many survive, they strip the capacity of the breeding grounD.The snow geese are destroying salt marshes where they nest in the summer, about 30 percent of the salt marshes are completely destroyed, leaving them as inhabitable mud flats. Another 35 percent of salt marshes are significantly damageD.There are three possible solutions: Let the problem take care of itself and wait for the population to crash, deal directly with the population by changing hunting limits and regulations or address the cause of the problem in the south.According to the author, if the marshes are destroyed,______.A.the snow geese will be in dangerB.the agriculture of the area will sufferC.the Canada geese will replace the snow geeseD.the snow geese may move to breed in Minnesota

单项选择题

The poorer countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin America seek to reduce the disparity in wealth between themselves and the European and North American countries. Because the extent to which economic growth can be built on agriculture is limited, the leaders of virtually every developing state encourage the construction of new industries. Industrial development not only could raise the value of exports — which these countries need to generate the funds to buy other products- but also could supply local people with goods that are currently obtained from imports. If Western countries built their wealth on industrial modernization, why cannot other countries do it?In some respects, developing countries face industrial problems that are similar to the past experiences of today's relatively developed countries. In a similar way, the countries in the contemporary world must overcome two obstacles.First, as in the past, today's newly industrializing countries are relatively distant from the main markets—the wealthy consumers in the relatively developed countries. In the early nineteenth century, factories in the United States and central Europe were far from England, then the world's most important concentration of wealthy consumers. In the twentieth century, the major concentrations of wealthy consumers are in North America and Western Europe, distant from the developing countries of Africa, Asia, and Latin AmericA.To minimize the obstacle of geographic isolation, countries that wish to develop their industries must invest scarce resources in constructing and subsidizing transportation facilities.Second, as in the past, today's developing countries lack support services critical for industrial development, including adequate transportation and communications systems and domestic sources of equipment, tools, and machines needed to build and operate new factories. Developing countries also lack universities capable of training the large, number of factory managers, accountants, and other experts needed for industrial development. Support services are obtained either by importing advisers and materials from other countries or by borrowing money to develop domestic sources.Countries currently industrializing also face a new obstaclE.Traditionally, newly established factories in Europe, then North America, and more recently Asia have depended to some degree on selling products in countries that lacked competing industries. But currently there are few untapped foreign markets to exploit. New industries therefore must either sell primarily to consumers inside the country or take away customers from existing businesses in other countries. Frequently, the domestic market is too small and poor to support large-scale industrial development.Which of the following does NOT pertain to the 'support services' mentioned in the passage?A.Telecommunications systems.B.Universities for training business administrators.C.Sources of industrial tools.D.Reservoir of labor forcE.
