问题 The primary of the purpose of the passage is to______
Information in the passage indicates that the author would most probably regard which of following statements as INCORRECT?

选项 A、Coastal mangrove forests are usually zonal.
B、Hurricanes interrupt the process of accretion and succession that extends existing shorelines.
C、Species of plants that thrive in a saline habitat require salt to flourish.
D、Plants with the highest metabolic efficiency in a given habitat tend to exclude other plants from that habitat.
E、Shoreline in areas with weak currents and trides are more likely to be extended through the porocess of accumulation of sediment than are shorleines with strong currents and tides.

答案C

解析 Here you are asked to make an inference about the likely view of the author of the passage. Note that the best answer must be a statement that the author would most likely judge to be INCORRECT. Choice C is best. The author points out that while mangroves normally thrive in highly saline regions, this is not because they require salt. That assertion contradicts the claim made in this answer, so the author would likely regard the claim made in this answer as incorrect. Choice A is incorrect because it paraphrases an assertion the author makes in the first sentence of the passage. Choice B is incorrect because it paraphrases an assertion the author makes in the last sentence of the second paragraph. Choice D is incorrect because the passage does not provide sufficient information to determine whether the author would agree with this statement. Choice E is not correct. The author notes that areas with weak currents and tides are likely to be extended through land formation. Thus the author would consider the assertion made here to be correct, not incorrect.
