19、sewn onto your clothes.About 3,000 years later,someone finally invented the buttonhole,and buttons were suddenly useful and applied to clothes universally.Before buttons,clothes were biggerthey had no fixed shapes.People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things.Because of the buttonhole,the fash

20、ion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button.At one time,its the very way to make clothes fit well for the body.People are completely secure.The pattern of a button hasnt changed much since the Middle Ages.Its one of the most lasting designs in history,because it actually works

21、to keep our clothes shut.Zippers easily break and are hard to fix.Velcro is rackety,and it wears out after a while.However,if a button breaks,you just exactly sew another on.And you can do up your buttons without disturbing others.A button is there for the long run.Its not just the most important de

22、sign ever,but its thought to be a decisive factor in the development and innovation of clothes.Present design of clothes shows its influence obviously.If youre wearing a shirt,take a look at the position of buttons on it.If youre a male,the buttons would likely be on the right side,but for a female,

23、the buttons are usually found on the left.Once the buttons were all on the right,and the trend of buttons-on-the-left was set by wealthy women of the Victorian era.Their clothes were complex,consisting of corsets,petticoats,buttons and a wide range of beautiful accessories(配饰).Therefore,they needed

24、assistance while getting dressed.Keep this in mind,clothing makers made innovation and designed articles of clothing that were simple for servants to button up.Such designs of clothing became more and more popular over time,and eventually became the standard still being followed to this day.8.What c

27、on breaks,you just exactly sew another on”可知,此处是在对比纽扣与其他同作用的东西来说明它成为历史上最久远的设计之一的原因;由下文的“And you can do up your buttons without disturbing others”可知,纽扣与Velcro(尼龙搭扣)相比,扣纽扣不会打扰到他人,由此说明扣尼龙搭扣会发出噪声,故D项“Noisy”可解释画线词。10.Why did the design of buttons on womens clothes change in the Victorian era?A.To innovat

28、e old designs of clothes.B.To make it easier to button up.C.To beautify the clothes of women.D.To keep the standard widely followed.答案B解析细节理解题。由最后一段的“Their clothes were complex,consisting of corsets,petticoats,buttons and a wide range of beautiful accessories.Therefore,they needed assistance while g

29、etting dressed.Keep this in mind,clothing makers made innovation and designed articles of clothing that were simple for servants to button up.”可知,在维多利亚时代,女士服装上的扣子被设计在左侧是为了方便别人帮她们扣扣子。11.Which can be the title of the text?A.How buttons changed fashionB.What the real role of buttons isC.Why buttons wer

30、e inventedD.When buttons came into sight答案A解析标题归纳题。结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲了纽扣的普遍使用影响了服装的发展和变化。故A项适合用作本文标题。DHow 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 model

31、s 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 single prey(猎物),

32、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

33、 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 smal

34、l 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 speciesincluding species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human

35、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 e

36、arly-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 t

37、ipping point(临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them to return.12.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 ecosystem

38、s.D.The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.答案B解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“scientists have found out.in food webs.”得知科学家们发现了食物网运行的关键法则。故选B项。13.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 q

39、uickly move to another place答案C解析细节理解题。根据第二段第三句中的“When a predator.are strongly linked”得出结论只吃一种猎物是“strong link”。14.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 int

40、o top predators.C.The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D.The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Mathematical models.entire ecosystems.”可知“食物链顶端掠食动物的变化可能会给整个生态系统带来大的影响”。故选D项。15.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in

41、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.答案A解析推理判断题。根据文章第四段的例子以及本段的最后一句话可知“人类的这些行为极大地影响了生态的平衡”。故选A项。第二节(共5小题;每小题2

64、money to buy the dress I wanted.We did the chores(家庭杂务) early that night,so I figured Dad wanted extra time for us to spend together.Instead,he dressed himself again and went outside.“Come on,Elizabeth,”he said.“Dress yourself warmly.Its cold.”Outside,I became even more upset.Not only wasnt I gettin

65、g the dress;now Dad was dragging me out in the cold.Whatever we were going to do wasnt going to be a quick job.I unwillingly climbed up beside Dad,the cold already biting me.We pulled in front of the woodshed(柴棚),and started loading wood.Finally,I asked,“Dad,what are you doing?”“Have you been by Mrs

66、 Clarks lately?”he asked.Mrs Clark lived about two miles down the road from us.Her husband had passed away the year before,leaving her and three children to raise on her own.“Yeah,”I said.“Why?”“I rode by just today,”Dad said.“Little Jake was out digging around in the woodpile,trying to find a few p

69、.Why was it our concern?We unloaded the wood behind the Clarks house and knocked on the door.It opened a crack(缝隙),and a fearful voice said,“Who is it?”“James Cotton,maam,and my daughter,Elizabeth.Could we come in for a bit?”Mrs Clark opened the door of the house where the three children were wrappe

72、 also wore a smile.I understood very well that Dad had given me a gift much greater than a dress.Just now,I saw the three children surrounding my dad,running and laughing.I could see that they missed their dad,and I was glad that I still had mine.Dad gave me the happy look on Mrs Clarks face that probably hadnt been on her face for a long time,the smiles of her three children,and the best New Year memory of my life.I was so grateful that I have got the most valuable gift for New Year.
