MACQUARIE ISLAND：from Chaos① to Conservation② I am standing on Macquarie Island，in the South­west Pacific Ocean，halfway③ between Australia and Antarctica.Strong winds and stormy seas have helped sculpt④ its long，thin shape.The green grass and bare rock of its landscape contrast dramatically⑤，❶giving it a wild and natural beauty．❷No visitor would think it surprising that the island is a UNESCO World Heritage⑥ Site.❸Nor would they fail to imagine⑦ how its native inhabitants⑧ ，including royal penguins⑨，king penguins，and elephant seals，existed in perfect harmony with⑩ their natural habitat⑪ for thousands of years. ❶现在分词短语作结果状语。 ❷it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的that从句。 ❸倒装句。“neither/nor＋助动词＋主语”表示“另外一个人也不”。句中how引导宾语从句，作imagine的宾语。 But the island's more recent history tells a different story.It's a tragic story ❹that began in 1810 when humans arrived on the island．In their ships they unknowingly brought rats⑫ and mice⑬.These small animals quickly took over⑭ the island，eating the birds' eggs and attacking baby birds.Cats were brought to the island to control the rats and mice.Unfortunately⑮，the cats subsequently⑯ developed an appetite⑰ for the birds，too. ❹that引导定语从句，先行词是story；when引导定语从句，先行词是1810。 Meanwhile，rabbits were introduced to⑱ the island as a source of food for humans.Loose on the island，they did ❺what rabbits do best—they multiplied⑲ rapidly and began eating the native vegetation⑳ and digging holes，which caused soil erosion㉑ .The exploding㉒ rabbit population provided plentiful food for㉓ the cats，❻meaning that the number of cats also increased．This in turn㉔ led to more cats hunting the birds.The end result was ❼that parakeets㉕，once large in number and native to㉖ the island，died out㉗ in 1891． ❺what引导宾语从句，作did的宾语。 ❻现在分词短语作状语，表示补充说明。 ❼that引导表语从句。 Even after Macquarie Island became an official nature reserve in the 1970s，the rabbits remained out of control㉘.❽Experts felt it necessary to come up with a plan to remove all the rabbits from㉙ the island.❾With this goal in mind，a virus㉚ was released onto the island.But although the virus caused the rabbit population to decrease㉛ from 130，000 to around 10，000，it also meant less food for the cats.The cats in consequence㉜ turned their attention—and their stomachs—back to the native birds，killing up to㉝ 60，000 each year．In the 1980s，traps㉞ and dogs were used to catch the cats.The last Macquarie Island cat was caught in 2000. ❽it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式短语to come up with a plan to remove all the rabbits from the island。 ❾with复合结构，在句中作原因状语。 现在分词短语作结果状语。 But as the saying goes，“While the cat's away，the mice will play.” With the departure㉟ of the cats from the island，the mouse and rat population started to increase.And remember those 10，000 or so㊱ rabbits？It turned out㊲ that they developed an immunity㊳ to the virus，and their numbers exploded once again.Then，in 2006，the rabbits' digging caused some land to collapse㊴，and killed a substantial㊵ number of penguins.This incident㊶ made it clear that the rat，mouse and rabbit problem needed solving once and for all㊷. It是形式主语，真正的主语是that引导的主语从句。在主语从句中，and连接两个并列的句子。 it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是that引导的宾语从句。 So，I am here on Macquarie Island to participate in㊸ the programme to tackle㊹ this very problem.The first step involved poison being dropped from helicopters．The next step is to remove the last remaining invading species，and that's where I come in—with my dogs.They have been trained to find every last㊺ one，without harming the native animals.This intervention㊻ is a long，much­delayed ending to a sad story，but we humans owe㊼ it to the island to give it a happy ending. poison being dropped from helicopters是动名词的复合结构，作involved的宾语。 and连接的并列句。在第一个分句中，不定式短语“to remove ...invading species”作表语；在第二个分句中，where引导表语从句。 but连接的并列句。在第二个分句中it作形式宾语，真正的宾语是不定式短语to give it a happy ending。 Postscript㊽：In 2014，Macquarie Island was declared pest㊾­free and the island's ecology㊿ is finally on the road to recovery.
