我们根据题目给出的位置回到原文:Forhundredsofmillionsofyears,turtles(海龟)havestruggledoutoftheseatolaytheireggsonsandybeaches,longbeforetherewerenaturedocumentariestocelebratethem,orGPSsatellitesandmarinebiologiststotrackthem,orvolunteerstohand-carrythehatchlings(幼龟)downtothewater'sedgelesttheybecomedisorientedbyheadlightsandcrawltowardsamotelparkinglotinstead.AformidablewallofbureaucracyhasbeenerectedtoprotecttheirprimenestingontheAtlanticcoastlines.Withallthatattentionpaidtothem,you'dthinkthesecreatureswouldatleasthavethegratitudenottogoextinct.

结论二:转折前后,逻辑表意相反,巧用转折,可正确推理语义题的言外之意!
综上所述,转折逻辑是我们在精确阅读中砍分的利器!因此,当文章中出现:but,however,while,yet,instead(of),still,onthecontrary等表示转折逻辑的单词或短语时,请大家打起十二分精神,因为答案正在向你走来!
