题目原文：
In recent years, many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even gone extinct due to changes in their environment. These population declines and extinctions have serious consequences for the ecosystems in which frogs live; for example, frogs help play a role in protecting humans by eating disease-carrying insects. Several methods have been proposed to solve the problem of declining frog populations. First, frogs are being harmed by pesticides, which are chemicals used to prevent insects from damaging farm crops such as corn and sugarcane. Pesticides often spread from farmland into neighboring frog habitats. Once pesticides enter a frog’s body, they attack the nervous system, leading to severe breathing problems. If laws prohibited the farmers from using harmful pesticides near sensitive frog populations, it would significantly reduce the harm pesticides cause to frogs. A second major factor in frog population decline is a fungus that has spread around the world with deadly effect. The fungus causes thickening of the skin, and since frogs use their skin to absorb water, infected frogs die of dehydration. Recently, researchers have discovered several ways to treat or prevent infection, including antifungal medication and treatments that kill the fungus with heat. Those treatments, if applied on a large scale, would protect sensitive frog populations from infection. Third, in a great many cases, frog populations are in decline simply because their natural habitats are threatened. Since most frog species lay their eggs in water, they are dependent on water and wetland habitats. Many such habitats are threatened by human activities, including excessive water use or the draining of wetlands to make them suitable for development. If key water habitats such as lakes and marshes were better protected from excessive water use and development, many frog species would recover.
The reading states that many frog species around the world have declined in numbers or even extinct and provide three reasons each have it is possible solution. However, the professor states that those solutions are not practical and he refutes each of the author's solution.
First, the reading claims that Frogs are being harmed by pesticides used by farmars, and there should be laws to prohibit using pesticides on farmaland near to frog habitat. The professor refutes this point by stating that this will affect farmars economically, because prevention of pesticide will have a negative impact on crops, So, farmars near to frog habitat will not be able to compete others
Seconed, the reading claims that most of frog they get infected by fungus and they need to be treated with antifungal medications. the professor posits this point by stating that this mean we need to treat each frog individaully, however we couldn't prevent spread of disease from spreading to the following generation, He says that we need to treat them generation after generation and that would be complicated and expensive.
Third, the reading states that reduce water from lakes and marshes caused by human overuse and we should prevent people from doing that,The professor states that the reduction of this water is from global warming not from people over use and this solution is unlikely prevent frog extinction.
