14、 tells a different story.Its a tragic story that began in 1810 when humans arrived on the island.In their ships they unknowingly brought rats and mice.These small animals quickly took over the island, eating the birds eggs and attacking baby birds.Cats were brought to the island to control the rats
15、and mice.Unfortunately, the cats subsequently developed an appetite for the birds, too. Meanwhile, rabbits were introduced to the island as a source of food for humans.Loose on the island, they did what rabbits do bestthey multiplied rapidly and began eating the native vegetation and digging holes,
16、which caused soil erosion.4 The exploding rabbit population provided plentiful 21 food for the cats, meaning that the number of cats also increased.This in turn 22 led to 23 more cats hunting the birds.The end result was that parakeets 24 , once large in number and native to the island, died out 25
17、in 1891. 4which 引导非限定性定语从句。 Even after Macquarie Island became an official nature reserve 26 in the 1970s, the rabbits remained out of control 27 .Experts felt it necessary to come up with 28 a plan to remove all the rabbits from the island.5 With this goal in mind, a virus 29 was released 30 onto t
18、he island.But although the virus caused the rabbit population to decrease 31 from 130, 000 to around 10, 000, it also meant less food for the cats.The cats in consequence 32 turned their attentionand their stomachsback to the native birds, killing up to 60,000 each year.6 In the 1980s 33 , traps and

20、 to increase.And remember those 10,000 or so 35 rabbits? It turned out 36 that they developed an immunity 37 to the virus, and their numbers exploded 38 once again.Then, in 2006, the rabbits digging caused some land to collapse 39 , and killed a substantial 40 number of penguins.This incident made i

22、ecies, and thats where I come inwith my dogs.They have been trained to find every last one, without harming the native animals.This intervention 43 is a long, muchdelayed ending to a sad story, but we humans owe it to the island to give it a happy ending. 译文参考 麦夸里岛:从大混乱到受保护 我站在麦夸里岛上,该岛在西南太平洋,位于澳大利亚和
23、南极洲的中间。强 风和波涛汹涌的大海帮助塑造了它细长的外形。 青草和光秃秃的岩石形成了鲜明 的对比,使它具有一种野性和自然的美。没有游客会对该岛是联合国教科文组织 评定的世界自然遗产感到惊讶的。他们也会去想象岛上的栖息动物,包括皇家企 鹅、王企鹅和象海豹,是如何与自然栖息地和谐共存数千年的。 但岛上最近的历史却讲述了一个不同的故事。这是一个悲惨的故事,始于 1810 年人类来到岛上。他们无意中把老鼠带上了船。这些小动物很快占领了这 个岛,吃鸟蛋并袭击小鸟。猫被带到岛上以控制老鼠。不幸的是,猫后来也对鸟 产生了食欲。 同时,兔子作为人的食物来源被引进岛上。在岛上自由自在,它们尽其所能 迅速繁殖,
24、开始吃当地的植被并挖洞,造成水土流失。激增的兔子为猫提供 了大量的食物,这意味着猫的数量也在增加。这反过来又导致更多的猫捕鸟。最 终的结果是,曾经数量众多、原产于该岛的长尾鹦鹉于 1891 年灭绝。 即使麦夸里岛在 20 世纪 70 年代成为正式的自然保护区后, 兔子的数量仍然 无法控制。专家们认为有必要想出一个计划,除掉岛上的所有兔子。考虑到这个 目标,一种病毒被释放到岛上。尽管病毒导致兔子数量从 13 万只减少到 1 万只 左右,但也意味着猫的食物减少了。结果,这些猫把注意力又转移到了当地的鸟 类身上,它们又吃起鸟来每年捕杀的鸟多达 6 万只。上世纪 80 年代,人们 用陷阱和狗来捕猫。最后一只麦夸里岛猫是在 2000 年被捉住的。 但俗话说, “猫儿不在,老鼠作怪。”随着猫离开小岛,老鼠的数量开始增 加。还记得那 1 万只左右的兔子吗?结果他们对病毒产生了免疫力,他们的数量 再次激增。然后,在 2006 年,兔子的挖掘导致一些土地塌陷,大量企鹅死亡。 这一事件表明,鼠兔问题需要一劳永逸地解决。 所以,我在麦夸里岛这里参与处理这个问题的方案。第一步是从直升机上投 下了毒药。下一步是要清除最后一个入侵物种,这就是我的切入点带着我的 狗。它们被训练在不伤害当地动物的情况下找到最后一个。这种干预是漫长的, 延迟的一个悲伤故事的结局。但我们人类有义务给这个岛一个圆满的结局。
