54. What does Cat Hobaiter think we should do for chimp conservation?
- A. Try to understand our sister species' behavior in the wild.
- B. Make efforts to preserve each individual chimp community.
- C. Study the unique characteristics of each generation of chimps.
- D. Endeavor to restore chimp habitats to expand its total population.
答案：B
答案句：“ Sometimes in the rush to conserve the species, I think we forget about the individuals,” says Cat Hobaiter, a professor at the University of St. Andrews. “ Each population, each community, even each generation of chimps is unique. An event might only have a small impact on the total population of chimps, but it may wipe out an entire community - an entire culture. No matter what we do to restore habitat or support population growth, we may never be able to restore that culture.”
参考译文：“有时在急于保护物种的过程中，我认为我们忘记了个体，”圣安德鲁斯大学教授凯特·霍贝特说。“每个种群、每个群体，甚至每一代大猩猩都是独一无二的。一个事件可能只对大猩猩总种群产生小影响，但它可能摧毁整个群体——整个文化。无论我们如何恢复栖息地或支持种群增长，我们可能永远无法恢复那种文化。”
定位线索：题干“Cat Hobaiter think we should do for chimp conservation”→答案句“we forget about the individuals”“Each population, each community...is unique”“may wipe out an entire community”；文中“preserve each individual chimp community”对应选项B“Make efforts to preserve each individual chimp community”。
解析：题干问霍贝特认为应如何保护大猩猩，答案句指出我们忘记了个体，每个群体都是独特的，事件可能摧毁整个群体和文化，暗示应保护每个个体群体，对应B。A项“理解野生行为”是怀滕的观点，不是霍贝特的，属于张冠李戴；C项“研究每代独特性”是霍贝特提到的现状，但非建议，属于偷换概念；D项“恢复栖息地”文中提到但认为无法恢复文化，并非建议重点，属于答非所问。
