30、ng the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(40 points) passage 1 during the past four decades the fishery scientist of the west have studies the dynamics of fish populations with the objective of determining the relation between the amount of fishing and the sustainable catch. they ha

31、ve developed a substantial body of theory that has been applied successfully to a large number of animal populations and has led to a major improvement in the management of some of the major marine fisheries.the theory has been developed for singlespecies populations with man as a predator. much of

32、it is based on the darwinian concept of a constant overpopulation of young that is reduced by densitydependent mortality resulting form intraspecific competition. the unfished population tends toward a maximum equilibrium size with a relatively high proportion of large, old individuals. as fishing i

33、ncreased and natural mortality is reduced, death from fishing eventually takes the place of most natural mortality. if the amount of fishing is increased too much, the indivduals will tend to be taken before realizing their potential growth, and total yield will be reduced. the maximum sustainable y

34、ields can be taken at an intermediate population size that in some populations is about onethird the unfished population size.g.v.nikolskii, of moscow state university, develops his theory from a different approach. he is nondarwinian and is(he says)a nonmathematician; rather he considers himself as

35、 ecologist and morphologist. he argues that darwinss concept of constant overpopulation has led to the neglect of the problem of protecting spawns and young fish. he argues also that darwins concept of a variety as an incipient species have led to extensive mathematical analysis of racial characters

36、. nikolskii considers the main laws of population dynamics to be concerned with the succession of generations; their birth, growth, and death. the details are governed by the relative rates of adaptaton and environmental change. the mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation

37、 to the food supply. the mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation to the food supply. the rate of growth of individuals, the time of sexual maturity, and the accumulation of reserves vary according to the food supply. these factors in turn influence the success of reproduc

38、tion in ways that tend to bring the size of the population into balance with its food supply.51. nikolskill theorizes that fish population is controlled mainly by the _ .a.size of the fish caught within a speciesb.racial characteristics of the speciesc.amount of food available to the speciesd.death

39、rate within a species52. the author indicates the main difference between the theories of darwin and nikolskii is the _ .a.effect of food supply on the size of the fishb.the amount of fish that can be harvestedc.methods used to catch fishd.cause of population variation in fish53. the theories based

40、on the concepts of darwin assume that fish population is controlled mainly by the _ .a.size of the fish caught within a speciesb.amount of fishing pressure of the speciesc.racial characteristics of the speciesd.life expectancy within the species54. the researchers discussed in the passage were mainl

42、ls you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody mentions baseball. baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens. they tell you its a game better suited to the 19th century sl

43、ow,quiet, gentlemanly. these are the same people you may be one of them who love football because theres the sport that glorifies “the hit”.by contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.on tv the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives, replays, closeups. the geometry of the game, ho

44、wever, is essential to understanding it. you will contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game. it is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement. the tv wont do it for you.take, for example,

45、 the third baseman. you sit behind the third base dugout and you watch him watching home plate. his legs are apart, knees flexed. his arms hang loose. he does a lot of this. the skeptic still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive. but watch what happens every time the pitcher (投手) th

46、rows; the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first basemans position. suppose the pitch is a ball. “nothing happened,”you say.“i could have

47、 had my eyes closed.”the skeptic and the innocent must play the game. and this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is. watch the third baseman. smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the spee

48、d of the bat, the sound of horsehide on wood. if football is a symphony (交响乐) of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber (室内)music, a spacious interlocking of notes, chores and responses.55. the passage is mainly concerned with _ .athe different tastes of people for sportsbthe different characteri

49、stics of sportscthe attraction of footballdthe attraction of baseball56. those who dont like baseball may complain that _ .ait is only to the taste of the oldbit involves fewer players than footballcit is not exciting enoughdit is pretentious and looks funny57. the author admits that _ .abaseball is

50、 too peaceful for the youngbbaseball may seem boring when watched on tvcfootball is more attracting than baseballdbaseball is more interesting than football58. we can safely conclude that the author _ alikes footballbhates footballchates baseballdlikes baseball passage 3 aleister growley is probably

51、 considered to be the most infamous black magician of the 20th century although, in fact, he was not a black magician and never claimed to be. he practiced his own form of magic which only partly resembled the rites of devil worshippers, and it was certainly not performed for the same ends.rather th

52、an worshipping god, the devil, or anything else, crowley devised a “religion” with himself as a saviour showing the people the way to freedom through their own“true will”.in other words, he said, people should throw off all constraints and conventions and gain control of themselves and others throug

53、h their own will power.in his famous books,“magic in theory and practice”,crowley explains what magic is, namely, a technique of making nature obey mans will by capturing natural power through speaking the appropriate words and performing the correct actions. all this must be done while in the right

54、 state of mind: a state that crowley often produced by the use of drugs.his experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences and by the time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin. at the end of his life he was taking a massive daily does of 11 grammes, enough to kill a

55、 roomful of people. it was only his extraordinary physical strength and conditioning through the years, that stopped it being fatal. rather ironically, considering his excessive intake of drugs, crowley died of natural causes at the age of 72.opinion has always been sharply divided about him, for as

56、 well as being a selfconfessed magician, crowley also painted, wrote plays, stories and poetry. some see him as a clever but misguided man, while others ,especially after the scandals attached to his life at cefalu in cicily, view him as truly evil.59. through the doctrine of “true will”,crowley encouraged people to _ .a.ignore the normal moralityb.find freedom through selfworshipc.control everything by will powerd.invent a new unconventional religion60. how is magic defined in“magic in theory and practice”?a.as a means of acquiring a certain state of mind.b.as a tech
