[品读话题短文]
I am standing on Macquarie Island,in the Southwest Pacific Ocean,halfway between Australia and Antarctica.Strong winds and stormy seas have helped sculpt its long,thin shape.The green grass and bare rock of its landscape contrast dramatically,giving it a wild and natural beauty①.No visitor would think it surprising that the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site②.Nor would they fail to imagine how its native inhabitants③,including royal penguins,king penguins,and elephant seals,existed in perfect harmony with④ their natural habitat for thousands of years.
But the island's more recent history tells a different story.It's a tragic story⑤ that began in 1810 when humans arrived on the island.In their ships they unknowingly brought rats and mice.These small animals quickly took over⑥ the island,eating the birds' eggs and attacking baby birds.Cats were brought to the island to control the rats and mice.Unfortunately,the cats subsequently developed an appetite for⑦ the birds,too.
Postscript:In 2014,Macquarie Island was declared pestfree and the island's ecology is finally on the road to recovery⑧.

[分析重难句式]
The green grass and bare rock of its landscape contrast dramatically,giving it a wild and natural beauty.
分析:“giving it ...beauty”是现在分词短语作结果状语,生动地描绘了这种巨大反差带来的视觉效果。
翻译:绿草和裸露的岩石形成的景观反差巨大,使海岛呈现出一种野性又天然的美。
