問題文
①The Roman poet Catullus lamented the death of a pet sparrow,
probably a house sparrow or a tree sparrow.In either case, a
present-day Catullus would have ample cause for lamentation.
Both kinds of sparrows are among the many species of birds,
insects and plants that have declined dramatically in Northern
Europe during the past 25 years.
②It is estimated,in the past 20 years,ten million breeding
indivisuals of ten species of farmland birds have disappeared
from the British countryside. The decline in bird numbers in part
reflects the decline of those insects and plant populations upon
which they depend.

although these have not been documented in as much detail as in Britain,
where censuses are carried out by British Trust for Ornithology(BTO).
In all,116 species of farmland birds--one fifth of European birds--
are now of conservation concern.
④Rachel Carson's classic 1963 book Silent Spring alerted the public
to the toxic side effects of insecticides,such as DDT, that had fuelled
the green revolution.Traces of these chemicals were found to persist in
the food chain,reaching higher concentrations,and hence having more
severe effects,at successive levels in the food chain.They were identified
as the cause of rapid population decline in birds of prey,such as falcons
and hawks, through the thinning of eaggshells. The offending chemicals have
now been phased out in the United Kingdom and many other countries,but their
use is still increasing in some parts of the world.
⑤The new losses in biodiversity are sometimes called “second Silent Spring.”
However,although they are associated with the intensification and
industrialization of agriculture,they involve more subtle and indirect
effects than the poising of wildlife by insecticides.In general terms,
intensification refers to making the greatest possible proportion
of primary production available for human consumption. To the extent
that this is achieved, the rest of nature is bound to suffer.

by agricultural intesification? although the cause of these declines
has not been proven, there are some suggestive figures. For example,
anual BTO censuses of 42 species of breedng birds show that 13 species
living in farmland declines by an average of 30% between 1968 and 1995,
while 29 species of birds that can live anywhere have increased by
an average of 23%.

[29]In this article, what does the term “second Silent Spring” mean?
1.There are more subtle and indirect effects than the insecticide traces
in the decline in the number of bird species.
2.A traditional environment is protected in the farmland to avoid a
decline in bird numbers.
3.The side effects of insecticides damaged the intensification and
industrialization of agriculture.
4.The decline in insect and plant populations in primary production
farmland caused the decline of bird numbers.
あと⑤の３行目のtheyの主語はlosses in biodiversityかintensification and industrialization
でしょうか？

失礼した
論旨の展開をまとめると
⑤生物の多様性の喪失は「第二の静かな春」と呼ばれる。
生物の多様性の喪失は農業の集約化と産業化と結び付けられているが、
農業の集約化の影響は殺虫剤による野生生物の汚染ほど直接的で明らかなものではない。
農業の集約化は最大限の収穫を得るために行われ、農業の集約化が進むほど
自然は被害を受ける。
⑥農地にだけ住む鳥は減ったが、どこでも生きれる鳥は増えたように
農業の集約化がそれほど生態系を破壊していないという統計もある。
赤本の解答：1番
解説：本文では「第二の沈黙の春」とは何を意味するのかを選ぶ。
１．「鳥の種の数の減少には、殺虫剤の痕跡よりも微妙で間接的な影響が存在
している」⑤の第3文(teey involve more・・・)の内容に一致する。
俺の解答：4番
「第二の静かな春」は何を意味しているか？
⑤に「第二の静かな春」は生物の多様性の喪失のことを言い、
生物の多様性の喪失は農業の集約化と結ぶ付けられているとある。
つまり4.の
農地の虫や植物が減ることによって鳥の数がへる
＝集約化によって生物の多様性が失われる
に一致する。
赤本は⑤の3行目のtheyの主語を取り違えて
しかもそのおかげで内容も取れてないのではないかと
いうのが俺の主張。

しかしおれは⑤の３行目のtheyをintensification and industrialization
しましたが、although の従属節の主語とその後の主節の主語が同じthey
なのに指している語が違うってことは英語的にあるんですかね？
intensification and industrializationで考えないと話が通じないので
そうしたんですが・・・
