주제문:

* Suggested Answers:

(1) The main idea of the Red Queen Effect is that species must continually adapt to maintain their position 

in their ecosystem. 

(빨간 여왕 효과의 주요 개념은 종이 생태계에서 위치를 유지하기 위해 지속적으로 적응해야 한다는 것입니다.)

(2) The Red Queen Effect is demonstrated in the example of foxes and rabbits through the continuous adaptation of each species to survive and reproduce. 

(여우와 토끼의 예에서 빨간 여왕 효과는 각 종이 살아남고 번식하기 위해 지속적으로 적응하는 것을 통해 나타납니다.)

(3) The fastest individuals within a species are significant because they are the most adapted and likely to survive and 

pass on their genes. (종 내에서 가장 빠른 개체는 가장 적응력이 높고 생존 및 유전자 전달 가능성이 높기 때문에 중요합니다.)

(4) The Red Queen Effect relates to adaptation in the context of evolution 

by illustrating the continuous process of species adapting to maintain their position in the ecosystem, even when it seems they're not making progress. 

(빨간 여왕 효과는 종이 생태계에서 위치를 유지하기 위해 진전이 없어 보이는 상황에서도 계속 적응하는 과정을 보여주어 진화 맥락에서 적응과 관련이 있습니다.)

(5) In the context of the text, "thrive" means to grow or develop successfully, often as a result of adaptation. 

(본문의 맥락에서 "번성하다"는 적응의 결과로 종종 성공적으로 성장하거나 발전하는 것을 의미합니다.)

주요 문장

(1) "If foxes evolve to run faster so they can catch more rabbits, then only the fastest rabbits will live long enough to make a new generation of bunnies that run even faster." 
(여우가 더 많은 토끼를 잡기 위해 더 빨리 달리도록 진화한다면, 가장 빠른 토끼만이 더 빨리 달리는 새로운 세대의 토끼를 만들기 위해 충분히 오래 살 것입니다.)

Grammatical explanation (English): This sentence uses a conditional structure ("If...then") to illustrate the adaptive response of rabbits to the increasing speed of foxes.

Semantic explanation: The sentence explains how the Red Queen Effect manifests itself in the continuous adaptation of both foxes and rabbits to maintain their positions in their ecosystem.

(2) "Even though they might run, the two species just stay in place."
(그들이 달릴지라도 두 종은 그냥 제자리에 머물게 됩니다.)

Grammatical explanation (English): This sentence uses a concessive clause ("Even though") to indicate that despite the actions of the species, they don't appear to make progress.

Semantic explanation: The sentence highlights the key concept of the Red Queen Effect – that even with continuous adaptation, species may appear to remain in the same position within their ecosystem.
