The reading passage presents (Two consecutive spaces)three ideas to explain the measures to save rhinoceros. However, the professor in the lectures challenges each of the idea by specific point.

To begin with, although the reading passage states that we could dehorn the rhinoceros to make them less attractive, the professor disproves it. Firstly, it will cost a lot of time and money to find them in the wild, prepare the drugs and remove the horn. What’s more, it will also reduce the chances frofor(fro (for)) rhinoceros to survive in the wild. They need horns to dig water, find food and guide predators. If we remove their horns, they are not likely to survive.

Furthermore, the reading passage asserts that we should educate consumers about the function of Keratin. Contrary to this assertion, the professor thinks that this kind of idea is too ancient. What’s more, if there are some old people stronlystrongly(misspelling) believe this idea, it is not easy to change their mind.

Lastly, despite the reading passage condemns that government should legalize their sales of rhino horn, the professor holds an opposing ideasan opposing idea(Agreement: 'a' + plural word). That is because currently, people who don’t buy horns due to it is illegal. However, if government makes buying horns acceptable, people will start to buy them and the demand offor(This rule identifies wrong preposition usage.) horns will increase dramatically. As a result, the priseprice(the + verb) of horns will be higher and attract more poachers to kill rhinoceros consistently because government makes the marker larger and more lucrative.

The reading passage presents three ideas to explain the measures to save rhinoceroses. However, the professor in the lecture challenges each of these ideas with specific points.

To begin with, although the reading passage states that we could dehorn rhinoceroses to make them less attractive to poachers, the professor disputes this claim. Firstly, it would require a significant amount of time and money to locate them in the wild, prepare the necessary drugs, and remove their horns. Moreover, dehorning would reduce the chances of rhinoceroses surviving in the wild. They need their horns for various purposes such as digging for water, finding food, and protecting themselves from predators. Removing their horns would likely hinder their ability to survive.

Furthermore, the reading passage asserts that we should educate consumers about the function of keratin found in rhino horns. Contrary to this assertion, the professor believes that changing people's ancient beliefs about rhino horn's healing powers is challenging. Educating consumers works best when they do not already have strong preconceived notions about something. However, when consumers hold deeply ingrained beliefs based on centuries-old traditions, new scientific evidence is unlikely to easily change their minds.

Lastly, despite the reading passage suggesting that governments should legalize sales of rhino horn, the professor holds an opposing view. This is because currently, many people who might want rhino horn do not buy it due to its illegality. If governments were to make buying horns acceptable by legalizing sales, demand for horns could increase dramatically. Consequently, prices would rise and attract more poachers who would continue killing rhinoceroses because government sales might create a larger and more lucrative market.

Through these counterarguments against each idea presented in the reading passage, the professor highlights their weaknesses and casts doubt on the validity of all three proposals. (301 words)

In the reading passage, the author presents three solutions to prevent rhinos from being illegally killed for their horns by poachers. However, the lecturer in the listening material highlights weaknesses in each solution, arguing that none of them would be useful. First and foremost, the author proposes the first solution that we can dehorn wild rhinos and thus render them less appealing to poachers. Nonetheless, the lecturer refutes this solution by emphasizing that dehorning may diminish rhinos' survival in the wild. Even if we have enough time to find rhinos, prepare essential tools, and remove their horns, this practice will directly handicap their capabilities of surviving due to the lack of essential functions (dipping water, finding food, guiding and protecting young, and protecting their territories) the horns provide.

Therefore, this solution will not easily change their affections for the horns, thus being ineffective. Finally, the authors' third solution (that governmentgovernments can sell some rhino horns legally, provide cheap horns and thereby lower the prices, ultimately decreasing the benefits from the related markets) is also counteracted by the lecturer who highlights that such behaviors may cause some unpredictable outcomes.

The methods of saving the rhinoceros are the focus of both the writer and the professor. In the writing, methods of saving the rhinoceros are proposed, including "dehorning" Rhinoceros, educating the customers, legalizing the horn sales. The professor, however, claims these methods are impractical and realistic. As opposed to the writer's idea that it is helpful to dehorn these rhinoceros by using the medical equipment and drugs, which will make them unattractive to poachers, the professor states that it costs a lot and put them at a disadvantage situation. She advances the theory that finding the rhinoceros in the wild costs a lot of money and time, and it will reduce the chance for rhinoceros to survive, because they rely on their horn to eat food and raise the youth and protect their territory, losing which will put them at a disadvantaged situation. The professor continues to discredit the writer's assertion that we can educate the consumers that rhinoceros' horn isn't beneficial to our health, by examining the fact that people's ancient and original belief is hard to change. In detail, people's relatively new idea and belief are easy to change while old idea and belief are difficult to change, meaning that we cannot easily change people's old belief about rhinoceros' horns is beneficial to our health. It is the professor's third argument that legalizing these horns will expand the market and raise the horn's price, encouraging more poaching, which contradicts the view of the writer that legalizing will lead to a lower price because of cheap rhino horn provided by government. To explore deeper, she contends that more people who want the rhinoceros' horn will buy theto(Detects potentially wrong usage of "the") them while they don't dare to buy before legalizing, raising the demand and expand the market, which will result in higher price and encourage poaching the horns.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

The essay discusses the contrasting viewpoints of the author and the professor regarding methods to save rhinoceroses from extinction. The author proposes three solutions: dehorning rhinos, educating consumers, and legalizing government sales of rhino horns. However, the professor argues that these methods are impractical and unrealistic.

Contrary to the author's suggestion that dehorning rhinos using medical equipment and drugs would make them unattractive to poachers, the professor asserts that this approach is costly and puts rhinos at a disadvantage. She explains that locating rhinos in the wild requires significant time and money, and removing their horns reduces their chances of survival since they rely on them for finding food, raising their young, and protecting their territory.

The professor also disputes the author's claim that educating consumers about the lack of health benefits associated with rhino horns would be effective. She points out that people's ancient beliefs are difficult to change; therefore, it is unlikely that new information would easily alter long-held convictions about the supposed healing properties of rhino horns.

Lastly, the professor challenges the author's view that legalizing government sales of rhino horns would lead to lower prices due to an increased supply of cheap horns. Instead, she contends that legalization could expand the market and raise horn prices by making it socially acceptable for more people to purchase them. This increased demand could result in higher prices, which would ultimately encourage further poaching.

In conclusion, while both parties agree on the importance of saving rhinoceroses from extinction, they differ significantly in their proposed solutions. The professor's arguments cast doubt on each of the author's suggestions by highlighting their potential negative consequences or questioning their effectiveness in addressing this pressing issue.
