28、he most complete Russian-English dictionary.23（8分） According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the countrys estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops

29、 and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australias insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the countrys underpopulated region, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to

30、“plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products

31、in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates

32、 point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to

33、 Australias fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sustainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “

34、plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that

35、kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “Theyve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something thats been here for thousands of years be destroying the country? I dont understand the logic in that.”Can Australians conflicting attitudes toward kangaroo

36、s be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)working independently or through wildlife conservancieswould protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you w

37、ant to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests dont have value.”Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the envi

38、ronment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The governments role would be oversight and regulation.1、What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?AKangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.BGlobal brands make sm
