It' a tragic(悲惨的) story that began in 1810 when humans arrived on the island. In their ships they unknowingly(不知不觉地) brought rats and mice. These small animals quickly took over (接管) the island, eating the birds' eggs and attacking(袭击) baby birds. Cats were brought to the island to control(控制) the rats and mice. Unfortunately(不幸地), the cats subsequently(随后) developed an appetite(胃口) for the birds, too. 1. appetite n.胃口,食欲;强烈欲望 (1)have a good/poor/no appetite 胃口好/胃口不好/没有胃口 develop an appetite for... 对……产生食欲 loss/lack of appetite 食欲缺乏 (2)have an appetite for 渴望…… have no appetite for 不喜欢…… [即学即练]—— 单句语法填空/补全句子/完成句子 ①Lots of students now have _ strong appetite for knowledge in order to get ready for their future. ②When people are depressed, some experience_ (食欲缺乏) while others can’t stop eating. ③杰克胃口大开,很快就吃完了桌上的食物。 Jack _ and finished up food on the table in a short time.(续写佳句之动作描写) Meanwhile(与此同时), rabbits(兔子) were introduced to(被引进) the island as a source(来源) of food for humans. Loose(不受束缚的) on the island, they did what rabbits do best — they multiplied(繁殖) rapidly and began eating the native vegetation(植被) and digging holes(挖洞), which caused(造成) soil erosion(土壤侵蚀). The exploding(爆增) rabbit population(数量) provided plentiful(大量的) food for the cats, meaning that the number of(…的数量) cats also increased(增长). This in turn(反过来) led to(导致) more cats hunting(猎食) the birds. The end result(结果) was that parakeets(长尾鹦鹉), once large in number(在数量上) and native to(原产于) the island, died out(灭绝) in 1891. Even after Macquarie Island became an official(官方的) nature reserve(自然保护区) in the 1970s, the rabbits remained(仍然) out of control(失去控制). Experts(专家) felt it necessary to come up with(想出) a plan to remove(除掉) all the rabbits from the island. With this goal in mind(把…放在心上), a virus was released(投放) onto the island. But although the virus caused the rabbit population to decrease(减少) from 130,000 to around 10,000, it also meant less food for the cats. The cats in consequence(因此) turned their attention — and their stomachs — back to(把…转回到) the native birds, killing up to(多达) 60,000 each year. In the 1980s, traps(夹子) and dogs were used to catch(被用来抓捕) the cats. The last Macquarie Island cat was caught(捕获) in 2000. 2.decrease v.(使)减少;(使)变小 (1)decrease/increase by...减少了/增加了…… decrease/increase (from...) to...(从……)减少到/增加到…… (2)on the decrease/increase在减少/在增加 [即学即练]—— 单句语法填空/词汇升级 ①_ (decrease)the amount of rubbish and to protect the environment, more governments are requiring people to recycle materials. ② The population of this town has increased _ zero point three percent in the last three years. ③Thanks to the government’s intervention,the number of the patients has decreased _ three hundred since last month. ④It is reported that as a result of the appearance of smartphones, the number of people who read magazines is dropping nowadays.

With the departure(离开) of the cats from the island, the mouse and rat population started to increase. And remember those 10,000 or so(大约,左右) rabbits? It turned out that(结果) they developed an immunity(免疫) to the virus, and their numbers exploded(暴增) once again(再一次). Then, in 2006, the rabbits' digging caused some land to collapse(坍塌), and killed a substantial(大量的) number of penguins.

The next step is to remove the last remaining invading(入侵) species, and that's where I come in — with my dogs. They have been trained to find every last one, without harming(伤害) the native animals.
