8、h 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

9、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

10、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

11、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 activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators

12、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 w

13、ould 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.1.Wha

14、t 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.答案B解析细节

17、hanged.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。BI was born and raised in England in a culture where privacy and “keeping yourself to yourself” were valued traditions.Speakin

29、alad,all the ingredients are mixed together.1 Together,however,the ingredients make up a unity.All the ingredients of salad contribute to the finished product.They may be covered with the same dressing(调味酱),but the green vegetables,tomatoes and cooked corn can all be seen for what they are.From this

30、 point of view,America is very much like a salad bowl where individual ethnic groups mix together,yet maintain their cultural uniqueness.People may work together during the day at similar jobs and in the same companies,but at night they may return to their ethnic groups where their own individual cu

33、 sense,America can surely be seen as a melting pot where people from all over the world come to live and work together forming one nation.There are dozens of shared symbols.4In such a culture,symbols like the flag and the nations official song serve to break down the walls which separate ethnic grou

34、ps.Whether a salad bowl or a melting pot,America can be best described as a mixture of both.5A.Both are correct depending on ones point of view.B.They never lose their shapes,colours or tastes.C.This is why there is so much diversity within America.D.In other words,America is a nation where there is unity in diversity.E.Thus,one needs to abandon ones culture to be considered “American”.F.They serve to develop the various ethnic groups to create a new American culture.G.The other theory,which is also used to describe American society,is the melting pot.答案15 BCGFD
