Line         While the most abundant and dominant species
  within a particular ecosystem is often crucial in
  perpetuating the ecosystem, a “keystone” species,
  here defined as one whose effects are much larger
(5) than would be predicted from its abundance, can
  also play a vital role. But because complex species
  interactions may be involved, identifying a keystone
  species by removing the species and observing
  changes in the ecosystem is problematic. It might
(10) seem that certain traits would clearly define a species
  as a keystone species; for example,
  Pisaster ochraceus is often a keystone predator
  because it consumes and suppresses mussel
  populations, which in the absence of this starfish
(15) can be a dominant species. But such predation on a
  dominant or potentially dominant species occurs in
  systems that do as well as in systems that do not
  have species that play keystone roles. Moreover,
  whereas P. ochraceus occupies an unambiguous
(20) keystone role on wave-exposed rocky headlands,
  in more wave-sheltered habitats the impact of
  P. ochraceus predation is weak or nonexistent,
  and at certain sites sand burial is responsible for
  eliminating mussels. Keystone status appears to
(25) depend on context, whether of particular
  geography or of such factors as community
  diversity (for example, a reduction in species
  diversity may thrust more of the remaining species
  into keystone roles) and length of species
(30) interaction (since newly arrived species in particular
  may dramatically affect ecosystems).


题目:

The passage mentions which of the following as a factor that affects the role of P. ochraceus as a keystone species within different habitats?

选项:

A、The degree to which the habitat is sheltered from waves
B、The degree to which other animals within a habitat prey on mussels
C、The fact that mussel populations are often not dominant within some habitats occupied by P. ochraceus
D、The size of the P. ochraceus population within the habitat
E、The fact that there is great species diversity within some habitats occupied by P. ochraceus

答案:

A

请教张慧雯老师,本题我的定位点和思路, Moreover, whereas P. ochraceus occupies an unambiguous keystone role on wave-exposed rocky headlands,in more wave-sheltered habitats the impact of P. ochraceus predation is weak or nonexistent, and at certain sites sand burial is responsible for eliminating mussels.同时把重点放在了这句话: Keystone status appears to depend on context, whether of particular geography or of such factors as community diversity (for example, a reduction in species diversity may thrust more of the remaining species into keystone roles) and length of species interaction (since newly arrived species in particular may dramatically affect ecosystems).大概的理解就是k的地位和地理要素比如diversity和 length of species interaction 挂钩,然后我就选了e,事后觉得这个选项within some habitats occupied by P. ochraceus可能有点问题,但是当时根据我重点关注的这句话我也觉得a和原文没关系(虽然上句话有提到),请老师指出我的问题。
