44、ess.CHow 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, scient
45、ists 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 predato r(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
46、, 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
47、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
48、 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 preda
49、tors 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,
50、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 ecosystemback from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists says because once ecosystems pass their tipping point (临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them
51、to return.46. 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
52、 in food webs.47. 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 place48. What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?A. The prey species
53、 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.49. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragrap
54、h? 4A. 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.50. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance
55、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:46-50: BCDAD精讲精析:一i、总论:1)话题分类:环境2)体裁:说明文3)难易程度:中-难4)背景知识:最近科学家们建立了一些关于食物网的数学模型以帮助人们更 好地了解生态系统的运作以及如何维持生态系统的平衡。5)试题来源:二、词汇部分:英文中文词汇精讲拓展populationn人口countries with ageing populations人口老龄化的国家speciesn种类a species/ two speciesPandas are an endangered species.熊猫是濒危物种。wolfn.狼wolves 狼小偷thief妻子wife命life架子shelf自己 self 叶子 leaf一片 loafmathematicaladj数学的math
