       Abalone tops the list of the most __28.__seafood in Chinese cuisine, and fresh South African abalone are always the first choice for feasts in Cantonese restaurants, where one fresh abalone alone can cost up to HK$2,000 (about 8,000NTD). In recent years, the overfishing and smuggling of wild abalone has pushed this __29.__ species of the South African coast towards extinction.
      "The South African wild abalone are heavier, and they are better than the farmed Japanese and Australian ones in terms of fresh flavor and texture," said Lau, general manager of Ah Yat Abalones restaurant in Hong Kong. "Our fresh South African abalone are all imported through __30.__ channels. The smuggled ones are usually dried and rare in Hong Kong."
      The illicit abalone trade has been gathering significant attention from __31.__combating wildlife trafficking, who believe the profitable contraband market of abalone is linked to the black market of ivory and rhino horns - both of which are driven by high demand from the Chinese market.

第29題

句子的意思是「過度捕撈和走私使這種___物種瀕臨滅絕」。這裡應該填入一個形容詞來描述這種物種是特有的或地方性的,因此「endemic」(地方性的)最為合適。

選項分析

  • (A) pandemic(大流行的):這通常指疾病的全球蔓延,與句意不符。
  • (B) pacific(和平的):與句意不符,這通常指和平或與太平洋有關。
  • (C) epidemic(流行的):這通常指疾病在某一地區的流行,與句意不符。
  • (D) endemic(地方性的,特有的):這是最合適的選項,描述了物種在某一特定地區是獨有的。

正確答案: (D) endemic
