The reading passage discusses about threediscusses three(Collocation: consider (about)) solutions to saving rhinos from poaching. The lecture examines the same issue. However, the professor in the lecture argues that those ideas all have severe weaknesses and will not work. Then she supports her idea with sufficient evidence.

To begin with, the reading suggests that dehorning the rhinos in the wild can make rhinos unattractive to the poachers and protect them from being killed. Nevertheless, the professor disputes this proposal by arguing that it is neither practical nor good for the rhinos' survival in that to dehorn rhinos, we have to find them in the wild, give them surgery, and then remove their horns, which is practically demanding. Besides, the horns are crucial for rhinos as they are used to digused to digging('admit', 'appreciate', 'avoid', 'enjoy' etc. with a base form of a verb) water, protect the young or territory, and etcetc(and (etc)). Therefore, dehorning rhinos is not ideal for rhinos' protection.

Furthermore, the reading advocates that educating cusumerscustomers(misspelling) will result in less purchasespurchases,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) as they will not believe rhino's horns are medicine any moreanymore(any more (anymore)). In contrast, the professor rebuts this by contending that consumers' belief is very ancient, dating back to thousands of years ago. Thus, new scientific evidence is not likely to change people's mind. Hence, education will not serve as an effective tool to stop rhinos' hunting as people's wrong belief is inherent.

Lastly, reading states that legalizing government sales of rhino horn is helpful as there are large quantities of horns in the storage and numerous sales will reduce the horns' prices, making poachers gain no benefits from poaching. On the contrary, the professor points out that when horns are legal to buy, there will be more people buying, creating a larger market and increasing the horn prices, so poachers will be more eager to kill the horns for the lucrative government sales. Therefore, legal government sales will actually increase poaching.

In conclusion, the professor precisely disproves the main argument of the reading that these three ways that can help curtail poaching for rhino horns.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage discusses three potential solutions to save rhinos from poaching, while the lecture casts doubt on the effectiveness of these proposals by highlighting their significant weaknesses.

Firstly, the reading suggests that dehorning rhinos in the wild would make them unattractive to poachers and protect them from being killed. However, the professor contends that this approach is neither practical nor beneficial for the rhinos' survival. She explains that locating and dehorning rhinos in the wild is logistically challenging and time-consuming. Moreover, she emphasizes that horns play a crucial role in rhinos' lives, as they use them for various purposes such as digging for water, protecting their young and territory, and searching for food. Consequently, dehorning would leave rhinos at a disadvantage in their natural habitat.

Secondly, the reading posits that educating consumers about the lack of medicinal value in rhino horns could reduce demand and subsequently decrease poaching. In contrast, the professor argues that this strategy is unlikely to be effective due to deeply ingrained cultural beliefs about the healing powers of rhino horns. She asserts that these beliefs date back thousands of years and are resistant to change through education alone. Therefore, educational efforts may not significantly impact consumer behavior or reduce demand for rhino horns.

Lastly, the reading proposes legalizing government sales of rhino horn as a means to lower prices and deter poaching by making it less profitable. The professor challenges this idea by pointing out potential unintended consequences of such a policy change. She explains that legalizing sales could lead to increased demand as more people may begin purchasing horn products due to their newfound legality. This surge in demand could drive up prices rather than lower them, making poaching even more lucrative and exacerbating the problem.

In summary, the professor effectively refutes each proposed solution presented in the reading passage by exposing their respective weaknesses and potential negative consequences. As a result, the lecture casts doubt on the feasibility of these strategies in addressing the issue of rhino poaching. (338 words)

The reading discusses some applicable ways for protecting rhinoceros from being killed because of the high profit of their horns. While the reading put forward three ways from various perspectives to reverse the current situation, the listening passage disputes it separately.

Firstly, given the fact that making those creatures less attractive by dehorning them can decrease the chance to be killed, the lecturer disputes this idea by believing that such a measure will be time-consuming and indeed, it may injure those rhinoceros’ health and more importantly, it exploits their ability to get necessities for living like the food and water resource.

Secondly, the reading passage points out that education may be a path to persuade consumers not to buy products made by rhinoceros’ horn because of the widespreadwide spread(ARTICLE ADJECTIVE of) of its element, Keratin, which can be easily taken from one’s hair or nails. The lecturer argues that those who have deep cultural belief, which even can be traced over many thousand yearsyears,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) are unlikely to change by a single educational propaganda.

Thirdly, the reading suggests that legalizing government sales can be an applicable wayway,(This rule identifies whether commas are missing in a sentence.) for it can diminish the problem that some poachers may choose to hunt given they have an illegal threat because of the extraordinary profit they may get from hunting. It believes that legalizing can lower the price of the horn and thus relieve the lure behind those illegal deeds. However, the lecturer puts forward his counterargument that he believes such conduct will exacerbate the problem of hunting by realizing those hunters the profit behind the hunting. He believes that the demand of the market wasn’t that great because some may just be a fun of the horn but not mean to buy. Market is unpredictable and government shouldn’t initially pose a threat to those creatures.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The reading passage presents three potential solutions to protect rhinoceroses from poaching due to the high value of their horns. However, the lecture challenges each of these proposals, highlighting their weaknesses and potential negative consequences.

Firstly, the reading suggests dehorning rhinos as a way to make them less attractive to poachers. The lecturer, on the other hand, argues that this approach is impractical and could harm the animals' well-being. Dehorning requires significant time and resources, and removing their horns could hinder rhinos' ability to find food and water sources.

Secondly, the reading posits that educating consumers about the lack of health benefits from rhino horn products could reduce demand for these items. The lecturer disputes this claim by stating that individuals with deeply ingrained cultural beliefs about the healing properties of rhino horns are unlikely to be swayed by educational campaigns. These beliefs have persisted for thousands of years and are resistant to change.

Lastly, the reading proposes legalizing government sales of rhino horns as a means to lower prices and discourage poaching. Contrarily, the lecturer contends that this approach could backfire by legitimizing the market for rhino horns and potentially increasing demand. As a result, higher prices might attract more poachers rather than deterring them.

In conclusion, while the reading offers seemingly viable solutions for protecting rhinoceroses from extinction due to poaching, the lecture casts doubt on each proposal's effectiveness by pointing out their inherent flaws and potential unintended consequences. (244 words)
