The lecture and passage discuss the issue of protecting rhinoceroses by preventing the sale of rhinoceros horns. The reading provides three potential solutions, while the listening challenges each point presented in the reading by providing their weaknesses.

Firstly, the reading passage claims that dehorning rhinoceroses using medical equipment without hurting them is a viable solution. Nevertheless, the speaker rebuts this by stating that it might be harmful to their survival in the wild. In fact, even with enough time and money, dehorning might reduce their chances of survival because their horns have many advantages, such as digging for water and guiding young ones. In short, considering their life in the wild, this solution differs from what is mentioned in the reading.

Furthermore, the passage asserts that educating consumers about the lack of health benefits from rhinoceros horns can reduce public demand for them. In contrast, the speaker refutes this by stating that it may not be effective. In fact, people have held this belief for thousands of years due to cultural reasons dating back to ancient times. Therefore, education is unlikely to change their strong mindset, contradicting the argument presented in the reading.

Lastly, the reading passage argues that legalizing horn sales to reduce profit might stop rhino poaching. In contrast, the speaker asserts that many people want a rhino's horn but do not buy it because it is currently illegal. If governments make new laws making rhino horns accessible, it will widen the horn market instead of reducing demand as suggested in the reading passage. In short, this again casts doubt on the overall validity of stopping people from buying rhino horns through legalization efforts. (279 words)

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.

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.

Section Title: 6.文章修订

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. Furthermore, the lecturer casts doubt on the author's anothersecond solution (that educating consumers about the lack of scientific foundation for horns' health value can considerably diminish the demand for rhino horn), demonstrating that many consumers putplace high value on and purchase rhinos' horns because ofrhino horns due to some ancient cultural beliefs. 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. There is a significant chance that the demandingdemand for horns may eventually rise since more consumers will be attracted by the legal trades. Accordingly, with even more lucrative marketmarkets opening, poachers may continue hunting rhinos. .
