Some experts believed that the cooling climate during the Ice Age was to blame for their extinction.Scientists reported last week they had studied genetic data from 59 cave bears. Their bones were recovered from seven countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland. From the genetic information, the scientists noted a decrease in the cave bear population beginning about 50,000 years ago. That is around the time of the arrival of Homo sapiens (现代人), or modern humans, in Eastern Europe. The researchers said they observed a sharp drop in the bears' numbers about 40,000 years ago. That coincides with(与……同时发生) the spread of Homo sapiens throughout Europe.The animals disappeared about 20,000 years ago. The cave bear lived in the Ice Age at the same time as other now extinct creatures. The bear was as big as a modern polar bear, but ate only plants. It appears often in prehistoric(史前的) cave paintings.There has been a scientific debate about what led to the extinction of the cave bear. Some scientists believe that the climate change greatly reduced the plants they needed, while others have blamed it on human activities, including hunting and taking over the caves where the bears gave birth and slept during winter. The bear's population remained largely unchanged for long periods before climate cooling, including during two noticeably cold periods and other cooling events.Homo sapiens appeared in Africa more than 300,000 years ago and later moved to other areas. The study offered new evidence that the arrival of Homo sapiens led to ruin for many kinds of animals across Eurasia, the Americas and Australia.1.How did scientists research on cave bears?A.By studying the bones found in some countries.B.By observing the paintings on the cave walls.C.By being told from generation to generation.D.By do research on the polar bears.2.When did the cave bear die out?A.About 50,000 years ago.B.About 40,000 years ago.C.About 20,000 years ago.D.More than 300,000 years ago.3.What can we learn according to the fourth paragraph?A.Sudden change in climate made cave bears die out.B.Cave bears couldn't adapt to the cold environment as quickly as possible.C.The loss of cave bears' habitats caused damage to their existence.D.Cold periods were very common thousands of years ago.4.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Humans Are Perhaps Partly to Blame for Cave Bears' DisappearanceB.Homo Sapiens Hunting Kinds of Animals across EurasiaC.A Debate about Why Cave Bears Suddenly DisappearedD.Scientists Studied Bones Discovered in Seven CountriesB(2021河北邢台高一上期中,)It is widely believed that biodiversity (生物多样性) is promoted to save species. But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with the diversity they contain as much as possible.Protecting habitats is important for keeping biodiversity. In 2003, over 102,000 habitats covering nearly 19 million square kilometres, or 11.5% of theworld's land surface,were under some form of protection. Though this has been a great improvement since 1962, when just l,000 protected habitats were listed, it is still not considered enough to stop the ecocide that is endangering the world's biodiversity.For a number of environmentalists, protecting the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots(热点地区) is critical to saving habitats and species. But many hotspots are endangered already, having lost up to three-quarters of their original plants.The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration(迁移) into these areas. A study found that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people had lived in these hotspots. Moreover, the annual population growth rate in these areas was 1.8%, higher than the global average of 1.4%. The PAI report concluded that human-related environmental changes would continue to put pressure on hotspots. Therefore, keeping biodiversity requires paying close attention to population size.Protecting hotspots is not simply a matter of putting up fences or employing guards. The best results will be achieved when local people are educated about the value of wildlife, and actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-tourism. Only then do they have a chance to see the benefits of protecting hotspots.5.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?A.The loss of any species can affect humans.B.Endangered species are paid more attention to by humans.C.Species can still survive when their ecosystems are destroyed.D.Ecosystem protection is as important as diversity protection.6.What does the underlined word “ecocide” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.Ecosystem protection.B.Reduction in the number of species.C.Serious damage to habitats.D.Habitat protection.7.What's the direct cause of the terrible state of the hotspots?A.Population growth in hotspots.B.Migration out of these areas.C.Global warming.D.The global average population growth rate.8.What's the author's opinion on protecting the hotspots?A.It's simple to carry out.B.It leads to the increase in tourists.C.It's closely connected with local people.D.It suggests that the local people be well educated.Ⅱ.七选五(2020山东德州高一上期末,)China has made great improvements in environmental protection during the past 70 years. 1 Each species on Earth has a role to play in the ecosystem.In recent decades,a series of wildlife-protection movements has been carried out by the central government. 2 The giant panda and the crested ibis(朱鹮) are among these successful stories.The giant panda used to have a population of 1,114 in the 1970s. It now totals 1,864 thanks to 52 protection areas. 3 By the end of last year, seven of the nine released pandas had survived in the wild. 4 In 1981,only seven crested ibises were found in Yang County,Shaanxi Province.Since then,breeding programs have helped the population reach 2,000. China has even sent crested ibises to Japan and South Korea in recent years to help with the species' survival.5 Key projects will be continually carried out to improveprotection,including making the lists of wild animals and plants under State protection,and also fighting against illegal wildlife trade, which includes the ivory(象牙)trade.A.Another species was once thought to be extinct.B.Protecting wildlife is, without doubt, an important part.C.China will continue its efforts in the wildlife protection.D.People call for immediate protection of the remaining species.E.Scientists have worked to feed pandas and then release them into the wild.F.As environmental damage has increased, signs of change have appeared around the world.G.Several species in danger of extinction have made impressive progress thanks to the methods.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.答案全解全析Part 1 Warming Up, Pre-reading, Reading &Comprehending基础过关练Ⅰ.1.decrease 2.hunt 3.certain 4.contain 5.affected6.employed7.appreciateⅡ.1.are being protected from 2.in peace 3.pay close attention to 4.burst into laughter 5.dying out 6.in relief 7.in danger ofⅢ.1.protection考查名词。

AThe kakapo is the world's heaviest and only flightless parrot. Now, some scientists are using advanced technology to rescue the endangered kakapos. If successful, the techniques used may help save other bird species as well.The few remaining kakapos live on three small islands, where their progress can be monitored through a smart device. Once found in large numbers across New Zealand, the cute bird, which can weigh up to 11 pounds (about 5 kilograms), is now heading to extinction. While cruel predators (捕食者) such as foxes, cats, and snakes are largely to blame, the kakapo's strange habits of laying eggs don't help either. For starters, the parrots, which can live up to 100 years, do not start laying eggs until the age of five.Scientists have set up individual feeding stations for all the birds to keep track of how much they eat. Given the difficulties in increasing the population, it is not surprising that only 114 adult parrots remain. Though the number is low, it is a great improvement over the 51 kakapos that remained on Earth in 1995. The increase of its population results from the government's decision to remove the 51 birds to three small predator-free islands off the coast of New Zealand, and the efforts of a team led by Andrew Digby, a kakapo scientist for the New Zealand Department of Conservation.A four-day-old kakapo chick will receive a health check. Young chicks in nests are examined and weighed every night, to ensure they are healthy.Once the birds lay eggs, the eggs are carefully moved from the nests and taken to a hatching (孵化) room to hatch. “We tend to be more successful at raising kakapoeggs than the kakapo,” says Digby. “We break less of them. ” Once the eggs hatch, each mother is given only one chick, while the rest of the newborns are hand-fed (人工喂养). This helps ensure they all receive enough food.1.What makes the kakapo unique in the parrot family?A.Its food.B.Its way of hatching.C.Its feather.D.Its flightless heavy body.2.What effort did the government make to protect the kakapos in 1995?A.Giving the kakapos a new home without natural enemies.B.Setting up individual feeding stations for the kakapos.C.Building a fence to keep the predators away.D.Driving all the predators nearby away.3.Why is each mother kakapo given only one baby chick?A.To help the mother kakapo keep laying eggs.B.To make every chick get enough food to survive.C.To protect the mother kakapo from the predators.D.To protect the chick from being killed by accident.BWildlife officials are using robotic bears to catch poachers(盗猎者)before they can do any damage to real bears.Robotic taxidermal animals are serving as a new kind of undercover agents. Wildlife officers are using them to attract and catch poachers across the United States, according to the Washington Post.The officers set up the animals in environments where shooting them is illegal and then wait out of sight for poachers who attempt to shoot.They can control the robots with a remote. Although the robotic animals can't walk or run, they are capable of making smaller movements like lifting their legs or turning their heads. And as recent reports suggest, they're realistic enough to be effective in attracting poachers.Companies such as Robotic Decoys and Custom Robotic Wildlife sell a variety of mechanical animals, including deer, foxes, and bears. Mike Kleman, owner ofRobotic Decoys,explains that he makes the animals by following the general taxidermy procedure of fastening a hide to a form. But then,he adds servo motors(伺服电动机)—the type also used in model cars and airplanes—to the neck,ears,tail,or legs. His robo-animals can be controlled using a radio remote or soon, an app.Kleman's company is based in Wisconsin, but they ship to officers around the country.The robo-animals range from around $700 for a fox to $4,800 for a moose, but organizations such as the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust ease the financial burden by donating robotic animals to cash-lacked government agencies.The organization has donated robotic animals to agencies in 16 differentstates,according to its website.And in the future, the robo-animal agents could help deal with international poaching problems, too.“I would like to figure out how to make rhinos,”Kleman told Popular Science.“There's a big issue overseas about rhino poaching.”4.Robotic animals are .ed to attract wild animalsB.viewed as a new kind of animals to raiseC.set up secretly to protect wildlifeD.well-known all over the world5.What can we infer from the text?A.The design of the robot animals is very good.B.The robot animals are cheap for organizations to buy.C.The servo motors make cars and airplanes go fast.D.The cash-lacked government agencies thanked Kleman so much.6.What do Kleman's words in the last paragraph mean?A.He will travel abroad to protect rhinos.B.He will continue working to make robot rhinos.C.He will think about how to raise rhinos.D.He will do research on how to protect rhinos.7.What may be the best title of the text?A.Kleman and His Robotic AnimalsB.The Research on Robotic AnimalsC.Wildlife Is in Danger of Being HuntedD.Robotic Animals Are Helping to Catch PoachersCOne reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation(森林砍伐)is a blank stare that asks the question, “Since I don't live there, what does it have to do with me?”The answer is that your way of life, wherever you live in the world, is tied to the tropics(热带地区) in many ways. If you live in a house, wash your hair, eat fruits and vegetables, drink soda, or drive a car, you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests.Biologically, we are losing the richest regions on earth when, each minute, a piece of tropical forest, the size of ten city blocks, disappears. As many as five million species of plants, animals, and insects (40 to 50 percent of all living things) live there, and are being lost faster than they can be found and described. Their loss is immeasurable(不可估量的).Take rubber for example. For many uses, only natural rubber from trees will do. Synthetics are not good enough. Today over half the world's commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia, while the Amazon's rubber industry produces much of the world's four million tons. And rubber is an important material in making gloves, balloons, footwear(鞋类) and many sporting goods. Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use.Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect—or heat of the earth from increased carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the atmosphere. As we destroy forests, we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen.Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half-century, warming the earth by as much as 4.5 degrees. The result?Polar ice caps partially melt, raising sea levels as much as 24 feet; even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast. Unbelievable? Maybe.

Unit 4 Wildlife protection阅读理解A typical lion tamer(驯兽师) in people's mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭) and a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it's mostly for show. In reality, it's the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion's face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve(e.g. lose weight, start a business, travel more)-only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we can't focus or that we're focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn't have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become...take immediate action. If you're clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.1. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.2. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show.3. What is the author's attitude towards the experts mentioned in Paragraph 3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.4. When the world is "waving a chair in your face", you're advised to ________.A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidance正确答案:A A B C精美句子1、善思则能“从无字句处读书”。

What is the purpose of the last part of the text?A. To encourage donations.B. To advertise coming events.C. To introduce special exhibits.D. To tell about the Center’s history.BWe are often unable to pay close attention to what we hear. J ust like when we try to grab a sponge(海绵) that is full of water, some water will run out of it. But somet imes we try to remember everything a speaker says and try to take in a speaker’s every word as if every word was equally i mportant. We try to remember all the names, all the dates, an d all the places. In the process we often miss the speaker’s m ain point.Erik Waldman works at a design company. Knowing he had never been good at budgeting his money, he was determined t o begin thinking about his economic future. When his employ er circulated an e-mail announcing a financial planning workshop(研讨会), Erik signed up right away.The first session was about retirement planning. Simone Fish er, the lecturer, explained that 7 of 10 Americans between the ages of 22 and 35 do not have a regular savings plan. Erik wr ote down every number Simone mentioned."If you want to have a retirement income equal to 75 percent of your current salary," Simone continued, "you will need to sa ve at least of 6 percent of your present earnings, taking into a ccount future inflation rates(通货膨胀率). In the meantime, I want to stress that the most important t hing is to start saving now."Erik recorded all the statistics Simone used. When she opene d the floor(自由发言) for question, Erik raised his hand and said, "I have two qu estion. When is the best time to start saving for retirement? A nd how can I figure out my savings target if I don’t know what inflation rates will be in the future?"This is a typical example of losing the speaker’s point by conc entrating on details. Erik had fixed his mind on remembering all the statistics in Simone’s presentation, but he blocked out th e main message. Rather than trying to remember everything, we should concentrate on main ideas and evidence.4.What does the author mean by saying "Just like when we ... run out of it."?A. We tend to reject what others say.B. We always try to remember all details.C. It is difficult for us to remember all things.D. We often fail to focus on what we are listening to.5.During the workshop, Erik __________ .A. got Simone Fisher’ s main ideaB. focused on the lecture's detailsC. showed little interest in the lectureD. didn't agree with what Simone had said6.When hearing Erik's questions, Simone would most probabl y think __________.A. they are very good questionsB. Erik was an excellent listenerC.it was hard to answer the questionsD. his questions were meaningless7.The passage is written to help those who want to be __________.A. a good listenerB. a financial plannerC.an excellent lecturerD. a successful employeeC(河北省衡水冀州中学2017届高复班第二次阶段考试)When Pat Jones finishes college, she decides to travel aro und the world and see as many foreign places as she could w hile she was young. Pat wants to visit Latin America first, so s he got a job as an English teacher in a school in Bolivia. Pat s poke a little Spanish, so she was able to communicate with he r students even when they didn’t know much English. Once, a sentence she had read somewhere struck her mind; i f you dream in a foreign language, you have really mastered it . Pat repeated this sentence to her students and hopes that s ome day she would dream in Spanish and they would dream i n English.One day, one of her worst students came up and explained in Spanish that he had not done his homework. He had gone to bed early and had slept badly."What does this have to do with your homework?" Pat asked."I dreamed all night, Miss Jones. And my dream was in Englis h.""In English?" Pat was very surprised, since he was such a ba d student. She was even secretly jealous. Her dream was still not in Spanish. But she encouraged her young students, "Well, tell me about your dream.""All the people in my dream spoke English. All the newspapers and magazines and all the TV programs were in English.""But that’s wonderful," said Pat. "What did all the people say to you?""I am sorry, Miss Jones. That’s why I slept so badly. I didn’t un derstand a word they said. It was a nightmare."8.Pat believed that ________.A. people can learn foreign languages in their dreamsB. she already dreamed in Spanish so she has mastered Spa nishC. one of her worst students had already mastered EnglishD. dreaming in a foreign language means a good command of it9.Pat’s student didn’t finish his homework because ________.A. the homework was too difficultB. the student dreamed in EnglishC. the student didn’t sleep wellD. the student didn’t know much English10.The writer wrote this story ________.A. to show us how to learn a foreign languageB. to show us how to teach a foreign languageC. to amuse us with an interesting storyD. to encourage us to travel to foreign countries11.From the passage we can infer that ________.A. in Bolivia, people speak SpanishB. Pat’s student who dreamed in English was actually good at EnglishC. Pat has already learned much SpanishD. in Latin America, the newspapers and magazines are in En glishDCyclist Alain Such has been dropped from the Ingotel cycling team for two years after a positive drug test at the Institute of Drug Free Sport. “I was flabbergasted.” said Vidier Garcia, fro m Team Ingotel. “Ala in joined our team last month and we ha d no idea that he was being examined.It’s a story that has become more and more familiar in recent years. Dr Mohammad Farnood, a leading sports scientist from Cairo, Egypt, said, “It is thought that some athletes will look f or other ways to improve performance in addition to using dru gs.”However, it has not always been against the law. In the Olym pics in 1994,Thomas Hicks won the marathon after using drug s in the middle of the race. In fact, the first one didn’t make hi m feel better for long, so he was given another and, as a resul t, he fell down soon after finishing and knew nothing. Another one may well have killed him.Things are very different today. Some scientists are consideri ng the possibility of using genetic engineering to further devel op athletes’ abilities. “If it works with no risk of discovery,” said Dr Farnood,“then it’s likely to become common practice for at hletes.”Researchers are looking at the possibility of identifying “athleti c” genes and correcting weak ones. Put into practice, this wou ld make a person healthier and stronger. Once scientists understand what the genes of top athletes look like, it might even become possible to identify “athletic” genes in young peopl e, and then money could be spent on children who have the most promising genes.“People are beginning to recognize can in many do good to o ur society, for ex-ample in saving lives and in creating better quality food for pe ople.”Dr Farnood says.” So, is it fair to use genetic engineerin g in sport? You could ask if it’s fair for some runners to use th e latest scientifically developed footwear, the key question is whether it’s available to everyone.12.What does the underlined word “flabbergasted” in Paragra ph l mean?A. Shy.B. Proud.C. Excited.D. Surprised.13.What happened to Thomas Hicks in 1904?A. He was badly hurt n training.B. He broke the law when running in a race.C. He took drugs and almost got killed.D. He lost the match in the Olympic Games.14.Who may show the greatest concern about using genetic e ngineering in sport?A. Didier Garcia.B. Thomas Hicks.C. Cyclist Alain Such.D. Dr Mohammad Farnood.15.What can we learn from Paragraph 5 and 6?A. The possibility of identifying “athletic” genes has become a vailable.B. It’s not clear whether it is fair to use genetic engineering in sport.C. The practice of using drugs in sport has a long history..D. It’s dangerous to use drugs in sport.第二节 (共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 4 Wildlife protection五年高考练阅读理解A(2021全国甲,B,)Port Lympne Reserve, which runs a breeding(繁育)programme, has welcomed the arrival of a rare black rhino calf(犀牛幼崽). When the tiny creature arrived on January 31, she became the 40th black rhino to be born at the reserve. And officials at Port Lympne were delighted with the new arrival, especially as black rhinos are known for being difficult to breed in captivity(圈养).Paul Beer, hea d of rhino section at Port Lympne, said:“Obviously we're all absolutely delighted to welcome another calf to our black rhino family. She's healthy, strong and already eager to play and explore. Her mother, Solio, is a first-time mum and she is doing a fantastic job. It's still a little too cold for them to go out into the open, but as soon as the weather warms up, I have no doubt that the little one will be out and about exploring and playing every day.”The adorable female calf is the second black rhino born this year at the reserve, but it is too early to tell if the calves will make good candidates to be returned to protected areas of the wild. The first rhino to be born at Port Lympne arrived on January 5 to first-time mother Kisima and weighed about 32kg. His mother, grandmother and great grandmother were all born at the reserve and still live there.According to the World Wildlife Fund, the global black rhino population has dropped as low as 5500, giving the rhinos a “critically endangered” status.词汇积累1.reserve n.保护区vt.预留,预定2.obviously adv.明显地3.fantanstic adj.极好的4.adorable adj.可爱的,讨人喜欢的5.candidate n.候选人6.critically endangered极度濒危的1.Which of the following best describes the breeding programme?A.Costly.B.Controversial.C.Ambitious.D.Successful.2.What does Paul Beer say about the new-born rhino?A.She loves staying with her mother.B.She dislikes outdoor activities.C.She is in good condition.D.She is sensitive to heat.3.What similar experience do Solio and Kisima have?A.They had their first born in January.B.They enjoyed exploring new places.C.They lived with their grandmothers.D.They were brought to the reserve young.4.What can be inferred about Port Lympne Reserve?A.The rhino section will be open to the public.B.It aims to control the number of the animals.C.It will continue to work with the World Wildlife Fund.D.Some of its rhinos may be sent to the protected wild areas.B(2020全国Ⅱ,C,)When you were trying to figure out what to buy for the environmentalist on your holiday list, fur probably didn't cross your mind. But some ecologists and fashion(时装)enthusiasts are trying to bring back the market for fur made from nutria(海狸鼠).Unusual fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn have showcased nutria fur mad e into clothes in different styles. “It sounds crazy to talk about guilt-free fur—unless you understand that the nutria are destroying vast wetlands every year,”says Cree McCree, project director of Righteous Fur.Scientists in Louisiana were so concerned that they decided to pay hunters $5 a tail. Some of the fur ends up in the fashion shows like the one in Brooklyn last month.Nutria were brought there from Argentina by fur farmers and let go into the wild. “The ecosystem down there can't handle this non-native species(物种). It's destroying the environment. It's them or us,”says Michael Massimi, an expert in this field.The fur trade kept nutria in check for decades, but when the market for nutria collapsed in the late 1980s, the cat-sized animals multiplied like crazy.Biologist Edmond Mouton runs the nutria control program for Louisiana. He says it's not easy to convince people that nutria fur is green, but he has no doubt about it. Hunters bring in more than 300,000 nutria tails a year, so part of Mouton's job these days is trying to promote fur.Then there's Righteous Fur and its unusual fashions. Model Paige Morgan says, “To give people a guilt-free option that they can wear without someone throwing paint on them—I think that's going to be a massive thing, at least here in New York.”Designer Jennifer Anderson admits it took her a while to come around to the opinion that using nutria fur for her creations is morally acceptable. She's trying to come up with a label to attach to nutria fashions to show it is eco-friendly. 词汇积累1.environmentalist n.环保主义者2.ecologist n.生态学家3.enthusiast n.热心者,热烈的支持者4.bring back使再度流行;使恢复5.showcase vt.使展现6.multiply vt.繁殖7.promote vt.提高;促进;促销8.option n.选择9.massive adj.巨大的10.morally adv.道德上11.acceptable adj.可接受的;令人满意的5.What is the purpose of the fashion shows in New Orleans and Brooklyn?A.To promote guilt-free fur.B.To expand the fashion market.C.To introduce a new brand.D.To celebrate a winter holiday.6.Why are scientists concerned about nutria?A.Nutria damage the ecosystem seriously.B.Nutria are an endangered species.C.Nutria hurt local cat-sized animals.D.Nutria are illegally hunted.7.What does the underlined word “collapsed” in paragraph 5 probably mean?A.Boomed.B.Became mature.C.Remained stable.D.Crashed.8.What can we infer about wearing fur in New York according to Morgan?A.It's formal.B.It's risky.C.It's harmful.D.It's traditional.C(2019天津,C,)How does an ecosystem(生态系统) work? What makes the populations of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator(掠食动物) always eats huge numbers of a single prey(猎物), the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点), it is remarkably difficult for them to return.词汇积累1.note vt.指出;注意;留意n.笔记2.consist of由……组成3.dominate vt.支配;控制4.arrangement n.安排5.stable adj.稳定的6.original adj.最初的;原创的7.reveal vt.揭示;揭露8.throughout adv.遍及;到处;自始至终9.propose vt.提议;建议10.scale n.规模11.ecological balance 生态平衡12.borderline n.分界线9.What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs?A.The living habits of species in food webs.B.The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C.The approaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D.The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.10.A strong link is found between two species when a predator .A.has a wide food choiceB.can easily find new preyC.sticks to one prey speciesD.can quickly move to another place11.What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A.The prey species they directly attack will die out.B.The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.C.The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D.The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.12.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?A.Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B.Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C.Species of commercial value dominate other species.D.Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.13.How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?A.By getting illegal practices under control.B.By stopping us from killing large predators.C.By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D.By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.答案全解全析五年高考练A◎语篇解读本文为说明文,主题语境为人与自然,主题语境内容为人与动植物。
