18、rwin(达尔文）collected anything that caught his interest: insects, coins and interesting stones. He was not very clever, but Darwin was good at doing the things that interested him.His father was a doctor, so Darwin was sent to Edinburgh to study medicine, and was planned to follow a medical career. But

19、 Charles found the lectures boring. Then his father sent him to Cambridge University to study to be a priest. While at Cambridge, Darwins interest in zoology and geography grew. Later he got a letter from Robert FitzRoy who was planning to make a voyage around the world on a ship, the Beagle. He wan

20、ted a naturalist to join the ship, and Darwin was recommended（推荐) That voyage was the start of Darwins great life.As the Beagle sailed around the world, Darwin began to wonder how life had developed on earth. He began to observe everything. After he was home, he set to work, getting his collection i

21、n order. His first great work The Zoology of the Beagle was well received, but he was slow to make public his ideas on the origin of life.Later Darwin and Wallace, another naturalist who had the same opinions as Darwin, produced a paper together. Darwins great book “On the Origin of Species by Means

22、 of Natural Selection（物种起源）appeared It attracted a storm. People thought that Darwin was saying they were descended from monkeys. What a shameful idea! Although most scientists agreed that Darwin was right, the Church was still so strong that Darwin never received any honors for his work.Afterwards,

23、 he published another great work, The Descent of Man. His health grew worse, but he still worked. When I have to give up observation, I shall die, he said. He was still working on 17, April, 1882. He was dead two days later.1、Darwins father sent him to Edinburgh to .Amake him like natural history Bm

25、 descended from monkeys probably means “ ” .Athey gave monkeys life Bthey were different from monkeysCthey were developed from monkeys Dthey had to live with monkey23（8分）Scientists have long known that herbivores (食草动物) affect the plant diversity around them. In highly productive ecosystems, like ju

26、ngles, animals would favor dominant, fast-growing plants. This would free up nutrients and space, allowing for a greater variety of plants to boom. In contrast, herbivores in regions with low plant biomass, like deserts, would eat whatever they could find, only driving down plant diversity.Now, a te

27、am of scientists has tested this hypothesis(假说). Burkepile, a biology professor in UC Santa Barbara, and his colleagues reviewed 252 studies comparing plant diversity in areas where herbivores were and were not excluded.Their study revealed that whether herbivores increase or decrease plant diversit

28、y depends on whats on the menu. In general, the correlation (相关性) between herbivory and diversity wasnt nearly as clear as everyone had expected. However, the team noticed a much stronger association: when the ecosystem hosted a particularly vigorous species of plant, herbivory seemed to be crucial

29、in maintaining biodiversity.For instance, grasslands in the tallgrass prairie in the American Midwest tend to be dominated (控制) by fast-growing grasses, such as big bluestem. The team discovered that herbivores had an outsized effect on maintaining biodiversity by keeping big bluestem from taking ov

30、er dozens of smaller, slower growing plant species. However not all herbivores are on an equal foot. The team found that the connection between herbivory and diversity was particularly strong in grasslands where more animals feed on grass than on herbs and bushes. This seems reasonable, since grasse

31、s tend to be the dominant species in grasslands, as the name suggests.These findings are more than academic. “Weve seen three decades of really important papers saying that ecosystems work better when you have more species in them,” Burkepile said. “What our data suggests is that herbivores are espe

32、cially important for maintaining this biodiversity in places where you have a really dominant plant species.” As biodiversity continues to decline worldwide, conservationists are looking for ways to prevent catastrophic losses. “This suggests that one possible approach to managing ecosystems and bio

33、diversity is to use herbivores to manage these dominant species,” Burkepile added.1、According to Paragraph 1, how do herbivores help to increase biodiversity?ABy consuming dominant, fast-growing plants.BBy destroying jungles and freeing up space.CBy adding more nutrients to the soil.DBy eating up lo

34、w plant biomass.2、The underlined part in Paragraph 3 most probably implies that _.Aherbivory has nothing to do with biodiversity in a given ecosystemBherbivores decrease biodiversity in tallgrass-dominated ecosystemsCsmall animals help to protect biodiversity in grasslands without bushesDthe degree

35、to which herbivores affect biodiversity is related to plant species3、What is the author trying to tell us in the last paragraph?AThe limitations of the new study.BThe potential application of the new study.CThe contradiction between the past view and the new findings.DThe importance of maintaining e

36、cosystems and biodiversity.24（8分）For years, my time spent in the shower could have got me a mention in Guinness World Records as the shortest time taken to bathe. I hurried up during this process.One day, however, while at a party, I heard an artist friend telling everybody that his idea came while

37、he was having a shower. “What about you?” he asked, “Dont you get your creative thoughts from the same place?”“Im in and out in a hurry,” I told him proudly. “I have no time to waste!”“What a pity,” he said. “Thats the place where you need to slow down; plenty of great thoughts come from there!” I t

38、ried it out. I slowed down the whole process, started enjoying the warm water, taking a little longer to soap myself and even spending more time just enjoying the process, and realized how much I had missed in hurrying up all these years.A woman told me how much stress her friend was suffering from

39、and how she sought to convince her that she needed to find ways to relax. She gave her a videotape on stress management and relaxation techniques, and encouraged her to watch it right away. Fifteen minutes later, her friend handed back the tape. “It was good,” she said, but I dont need it.”“But its

40、a 70 - minute video,” the woman replied, “You couldnt have watched the whole thing.”“Yes, I did,” her friend said. “I put it in fast - forward!”A major social problem of the 21st century is Hurry Sickness. We hurry through work. We swallow fast food. We complain that we dont have enough time. We rac
