▶ Your Answer : While the author of the reading passage argues that there are three methods to hinder the white nose syndrome from dispersing among bats, the speaker refutes the passage's argument with counter view. First, the speaker states that human is not the only transmiter who dissipate the withe nose syndreome. Also, according to a reseach, in the cave where the infection was spreaded, there was no sign of human activities. This goes against the writer's view that prohibiting human from contecting directly with caves is a beneficial way to halt the spread of infection. Secondly, the lecturer points out that raising temperature in caves kill not only the fungus, but also lots of bats. When the caves are heated, it would remind the bats to wake up. This is the same way the fungus use to kill bats by preventing them from hibernating. This contradicts the passage's assertion that heating temperature to the degree which the fungus cannot withstand is a helpful for stop spread of the syndrome. Finally, the professor contend that the studying the Europian bat population is unrealistic because the search for vaccine needs lots of experiments and times. During the reseach for cure is ongoing, the syndrome would scatter across the continent. This casts doubt on the author's claim that reseacher can create a vaccine for white nose syndrome by studying the European bats which have improved immune system. |
