新GRE小短文阅读练习题十五（附一至十五的答案）
15Why save endangered species?For thegeneral public, endangered species appear to
be little more than biological oddities.A very
different perception is gained from considering
the issue of extinction in a wider context.The
important point is that many major social
advances have been made on the basis of life
forms whose worth would never have been
perceived in advance.Consider the impact of
rubber-producing plants on contemporary life
and industry:approximatelytwo-thirds of the
world's rubber supply comes from rubber
producing plants and is made into objects as
diverse as rubber washers and rubber boots.
The point of the passage is made chiefly by
acknowledging the validity oftwo opposing
points of view
appealing to the emotions of the audience
rather than to their intellects
suggesting a useful perspective for
viewing the question raised at the
beginning of the passage
trying to discredit the view of an opponent
without presenting an alternative
hypothesis
generalizing from similar to dissimilar
cases
