Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Not too many decades ago it seemed “obvious” both to the general public and to sociologists that modern society has changed people’s natural relations, loosened their responsibilities to relatives and neighbors, and substituted in their place loosel relationships with passing acquaintances(相识之人). However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the “obvious” is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community’s population size and its social heterogeneity(多样性). For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan(见多识广的) outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.66. According to the paragraph 1, it was once a common belief that people in modern society __________ .A) tended to acqaint themselves with people passing byB) could not develop very close relationships wth othersC) bore great responsibilities to neighbors and relativesD) usually had more friends than small-town residents67. One of the consequences of urbanism is that the city residents __________ .A. suffer fron the lack of friendshipB. lower the quality of relationshipsC. show little concern for other peopleD. become suspicious of each other68.We can learn from the passage that the bigger a community is,__________A) the more open-minded people are B. the more similar its interests isC) the more likely it it to display stress D) the better its quality of life is69. What is the passage mainly about?A. Advantages and disadvantages of living in big cities or small townsB. Minor differences in the interpersonal relations between cities and townsC The positive role that urbanism has been playing in our modern society.D The strong feeling of alienation that city inhabitants are suffering.(B)TRAIN TRA VEL INFORMATIONWe offer several distinct options for you to choose the ticket that suits you best.Only one discount may apply to each fare.CHANGES AND REFUNDSTickets may be refunded not later 5 minutes before the departure of the train for a charge of 15% of the ticket price, or the journey may be changed to another day for a charge of 10% of the ticket price.

The answer is not as simple as might be thought. The Moose(麋鹿) reached Isle Royale in Lake Superior by crossing over winter ice and bred freely there in isolation without predators. When wolves later reached the island, naturalists widely assumed that the wolves would play a key role in controlling the moose population. Careful studies have demonstrated, however, that this is not the case. The wolves eat mostly old or diseased animals that would not survive long anyway. In general, the moose population is controlled by food availability, disease and other factors rather than by wolves.When experimental populations are set up under simple laboratory conditions, the predator often wipes out its prey and then becomes extinct itself. However, if safe areas like those prey animals have in the wild are provided, the prey population drops to low level but not extinction. Low prey population levels then provide inadequate food for the predators, causing the predator population to decrease. When this occurs, the prey population can rebound. In this situation the predator and prey population may continue in this cyclical pattern for some time.Population cycles are characteristic of small mammals, and they sometimes appear to be brought about by predators. Ecologists studying hare populations have found that the North American snowshoe hare follows a roughly ten-year cycle. Its numbers fall tenfold to thirty in a typical cycle, and a hundredfold change can occur. Two factors appear to be generating the cycle: food plants and predators.The preferred foods of snowshoe hares are tender willow branches. As the hare population increases, the quantity of these branches decreases, forcing the hares to feed on low-quality high-fiber food. Lower birth rates and low growth rates follow, so there is a corresponding decline in hare abundance. Once the hare population has declined, it takes two to three year for the quantity of branches to recover.A key predator of the snowshoe hare is the Canada lynx. The Canada lynx shows a ten-year cycle of abundance(大量) that parallels the abundance cycle of hares. As hare numbers fall, so do lynx numbers, as their food supply decreased.Predators are an essential factor in maintaining communities that are rich and diverse in species. Without predators, the species that is the best competitor for food, shelter, and otherenvironmental resources tends to dominate and exclude the species with which it competes. This phenomenon is known as “competitor exclusion”. However, if the community contains a predator of the strongest competitor species, then the population of that competitor is controlled. Thus even the less competitive species are able to survive. From the stand point of diversity(多样性), it is usually a mistake to eliminate a major predator from a community.73.The author uses the example of the moose and wolves on Isle Royale to _________________.A. provide evidence that predators influence prey populationsB. question the belief in the effect of predators on prey populationsC. demonstrate predator population grows faster than that of the preyD. prove that studies of isolated populations tend to be useful74.The word “rebound” in the passage is closest in meaning to _____________.A. ReactB. ResistC. RemainD. Recover75.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Laboratory results can’t explain the changes in predator and prey populations of the wild.B. The growth of hare population may lead to a corresponding increase in its birth rates.C. The experimental environments can promote the growth of predator and prey populations.D. The existence of a major predator in a community is a threat to the diversity of species.76.What can we conclude from the passage about the cycle of the Canada lynx?A. When hare numbers decrease, lynx numbers increase.B. It has a great effect on the number of snowshoe hare.C. It closely follows the cycle of the snowshoe hare.D. It is not directly related to the availability of lynx food.77.What is the best title of this passage?A. What role predators play in keeping competitor species.B. Whether predators have an impact on prey populations.C. A study of the populations of the predator and prey animals.D. Contributing factors of the changes in animal populations.。

When we were there, we had lost sight of the lake; and now our road was over a wild land. 25 (go) a little way, we saw before us, at the distance of about half a mile, a very large stone building, with a high wall round it, neither field nor tree near.The wild land was overgrown with grey grass that cattle might feed upon. We could not tell 26 this building was. It appeared 27 ______ it had been built strong to defend from storms; but for what purpose? William called out to us that we should observe that place well, for it was exactly like one of the shelters of the Alps (阿尔卑斯山), 28 (build) for the reception of travelers, and indeed I had thought it 29 be so. This building, from its singular structure and appearance, made the place, which is itself in a country 30 Scotland, remarkable.When we 31 (pass) it and looked back, three pyramidal mountains on the opposite side of Lock Lomond ended the view, 32 in certain kind of weather might be very grand. Our highland companion had not got enough English to give us any information concerning this strange building. What we could only get from her was that it was a “large house”, which was plain enough.（B）All plants need water to grow. Watering plants seems like a simple task but it actually requires many considerations. For example, plants growing in areas with low rainfall or areas33 (expose) to dry wind require more water. On the other hand, plants which have a good adaptation to dry conditions or have the ability to store water in their cells require 34 （frequent）watering. The watering of plants should not be viewed as a minor process in gardening 35 this task plays an extremely important role in ensuring healthy plant growth.Let’s first take a closer look at plants growing in gardens. Since watering is a critical gardening task, 36 accessible water supply is vital. A garden tap with a hose of sufficient length to reach the furthest part of the garden 37 (prefer). This tends to make watering much easier and ensures adequate water is provided for the plants. Most inexperienced gardeners water little 38 very frequently. This is undesirable as it encourages shallow root growth. In addition, watering in full sun causes leaves to lose water quickly from the surface of the soil. Therefore, some experts recommend 39 (install) an automatic watering system.As for plants growing in pots or containers, they tend to lose water rapidly. One way to reduce such a risk is 40 (group) the plants close together to keep moisture. Try to move them to a shady place if you are away from home for a few days. Otherwise, you will return home to see your plants dead.Section BDirections: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.共12页第4页The fortunate people in the world，the only really fortunate people in the world in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often 41 to be，and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition. They enjoy in this 42 at least a real harmony of life. To my mind, to be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not 43 that others tend to envy those happy human beings who find their livelihood in the gay effusions (流露) of their fancy, to whom every hour of labor is an hour of 44 and even a holiday is almost deprivation (丧失). Whether a man writes well or ill, has much to say or little, if he cares about writing at all, he will appreciate the pleasures of composition.To sit at the table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible 45 , plenty of nice white paper and a pen is true happiness. With the complete absorption of the mind upon a(n) 46 occupation, what more is there than that to desire? What does it matter what happens outside？The House of Commons may do what it likes, and so may the House of Lords. The bottom may be 47 clean out of the American market. The heathen (异教徒) may show 48 anger in every part of the globe. Never mind, for four hours, at any rate, we will 49 ourselves from a common, ill-governed, and 50 world.III.

The answer is not as simple as might be thought. The moose (麋鹿)reached Isle Royale in Lake Superior by crossing over winter ice and bred freely there in isolation without predators. When wolves later reached the island, naturalists widely assumed that the wolves would play a key role in controlling the moose population. Careful studies have demonstrated, however, that this is not the case. The wolves eat mostly old or diseased animals that would not survive long anyway. In general, the moose population is controlled by food availability, disease and other factors rather than by wolves.When experimental populations are set up under simple laboratory conditions, the predator often wipes out its prey and then becomes extinct itself. However, if safe areas like those prey animals have in the wild are provided, the prey population drops to low level but not extinction. Low prey population levels then provide inadequate food for the predators, causing the predator population to decrease. When this occurs, the prey population can rebound. In this situation the predator and prey population may continue in this cyclical pattern for some time.Population cycles are characteristic of small mammals, and they sometimes appear to be brought about by predators. Ecologists studying hare populations have found that the North American snowshoe hare follows a roughly ten-year cycle. Two factors appear to be generating the cycle: food plants and predators.The preferred foods of snowshoe hares are tender willow branches. As the hare population increases, the quantity of these branches decreases, forcing the hares to feed on low-quality high-fiber food. Lower birth rates and low growth rates follow, so there is a corresponding decline in hare quantity. Once the hare population has declined, it takes two to three years for the quantity of branches to recover.A key predator of the snowshoe hare is the Canada lynx. The Canada lynx shows a ten-year cycle of abundance (大量) that parallels the abundance cycle of hares. As hare numbers fall, so do lynx numbers, as their food supply decreased.共12页第9页Predators are an essential factor in maintaining communities that are rich and diverse in species. Without predators, the species that is the best competitor for food, shelter, and other environmental resources tends to dominate and exclude the species with which it competes. This phenomenon is known as “competitor exclusion”. However, if the community contains a predator of the strongest competitor species, then the population of that competitor is controlled. Thus even the less competitive species are able to survive. From the stand point of diversity (多样性), it is usually a mistake to eliminate a major predator from a community.73. The author uses the example of the moose and wolves on Isle Royale to _________________.A. provide evidence that predators influence prey populationsB. question the belief in the effect of predators on prey populationsC. demonstrate predator population grows faster than that of the preyD. prove that the studies of isolated populations tend to be useful74.

Contributing factors of the changes in animal populationsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.共12页第10页Courage is a quality we cherish. Yet only lately has it been studied systematically to try to define what it is and is not, where it comes from and why we love it so much. “Courage helps to define the excellent person,”write George Kateb, a political theorist at Princeton University. “One of the worst criticism in the world is to be called a coward, a quite timid person.”For many people, courage is most readily displayed in battle; for example, the brave soldier running into the line of fire to rescue the injured.Yet George Kateb says that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait (特性) becomes immoral, ennobling killing by insisting that only in battle can people discover the depths of their nobility. Thus, it makes killing a noble thing.Stanley J Rachman of the University of British Columbia studies paratroopers (伞兵) preparing for their first jump. The work revealed three different groups: the fearless who jumped without hesitation; the timid whose fear kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted physiologically like the timid but acted like the fearless leaper, and jumped.Rachman considered the final group courageous, defining courage as “a behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear”. Thus, courage becomes the property of anyone who does something that he or she fears.In interviewing 320 children aged from 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University, Rotterdam, of the Netherlands and his colleagues found that children also consider courage as the conquering of one’s fears; and more than 70% claimed they had performed brave acts, including stealing money from one’s mother’s purse.Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society in Montana, US, also distinguishes between animals that behave bravely due to a lack of awareness and experience, and those that are aware of a danger but proceed anyway.He recalled the time he and his colleagues had cornered a young bison (野牛) to take blood samples. At that time, an adult male bison was standing guard, refusing to let the scientists approach. “He knew that he could be attacked by us,” said Berger. “I’d call this a courageous, even heroic act.”78. What does George Kateb think of courage?79. Why did Rachman think that the third group were courageous?80. Peter Muris found that most children demonstrated their courage ____________________.81.

is much debate about food young people eat．Actually children in the UK are getting more and more overweight．It is difficultto decide who to blame （责备）．Is it the parents'fault or is it the child's？One of the main areas people are discussing is the healthiness，or rather unhealthiness of school lunches．The situation looks as if it is getting worse，so we all need to think about a solution to the problem．I think the catering companies who often serve poor，cheap food should be blamed mainly．A recent survey of peoples'eating habits in the UK showed that 40% of children had eaten chips that day at school and 85% had eaten sweets，cakes or biscuits．In my opinion，we should look at what other children are eating for school lunches in other countries，and then learn a lesson from them．Let's take France as an example．This is a country where food is like the national region!Many schools employ their own nutritionist （营养师），who works with parents to make sure school lunches provide a healthy，balanced diet．A typical menu in a French secondary school is a starter of grapefruit，followed by grilled chicken with green vegetables and rice pudding for dessert．Pupils drink plain water rather than fizzy drinks．There is no choice and pizzas，burgers and chips are off the menu．Much more money is spent per meal than in Britain．Norway is another interesting example．There，schools have no canteens at all．All Norwegian school children bring a packed lunch to school，which usually consists of sandwiches．Pupils can buy cheap milk，fruit or yoghurt at school．Lunch breaks are only 30minutes long．While the children are eating，a teacher reads to them from a popular book．The children have to study‘nutrition'as part of the curriculum （课程）．Norway is a country of healthy eaters and they start young．Fortunately some people in the UK do care about what children are eating for lunch．In some schools，the food has got better．But we still have a long way to go．‘An apple a day'may well keep the doctor away，but what all kids need is a healthy，balanced diet．69．At the moment，British children are．A．eating healthy foodB．becoming fatter and fatterC．studying‘nutrition'D．discussing the school lunches70．In the writer's opinion，should be mainly responsible for the situation in the UK．A．children'sparentsB．nutritionists at schoolC．catering companiesD．people's eating habits71．A typical French lunch at school usually starts with．A．grapefruitB．grilled chickenC．green vegetablesD．rice pudding72．Norwegian children can when they are having lunch at school．A．have a long breakB．read a popular bookC．sell milk，fruit or yoghurtD．listen to the teachers reading73．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage？A．There are no canteens in Norwegian schools．B．Britain doesn't spend as much as France on the school lunches．C．Pupils in France have no choice but to have pizzas，burgers and chips for lunch．D．Some people in the UK begin to pay attention to the unhealthiness of school lunches．74．This passage probably comes from a magazine in Column （栏目）．A．Health B．Amusement C．Business D．Language．六、B.Choosethewordsorexpressionsandcompletethepassage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文）：（12分）50．（12分）My stutter （口吃）had always been much of a problem．I'd had so many specialists for my speech over the years．As I walked down the hallway to meet a new one，memories popped in my head of how painful being a

clap my hands while speaking．She was completely （76）．She spent the first several weeks just talking to me﹣asking me all kinds of questions about myself，especially my feelings．And she listened．She then began to teach me about the speech．Not just about my speech，but about everybody's．I sang in my old school and was a pretty good tenor （男高音），but I learned that the new school's singing group was all filled up．It was such bad news，for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well﹣and I could do it （77）stuttering．Somehow Mrs．Claussen finally got me in the group．I felt like she really cared about me as a person，not just a speech student．During the next two years，my speech didn't get much better﹣except with her．When I was in college，things got worse．I once even wondered if I would ever be able to （78）!It was a very depressing time，and I often felt lonely．When I was feeling really sorry for myself，I remembered Mrs．Claussen had told me whether I could （79）my speech was all up to me．She had told me not to fight for perfect speech，just better speech．She was right about that．I finally improved my speech greatly．Many years have passed，but I think of her （80），wondering if she had

like all bear cubs，he was blind and he had no teeth．His mother was sleeping in her den（兽穴），deep inside the Russian forest．Outside，it was very cold and everything was covered by thick snow．Inside the den with his mother，however，Yuri felt safe and warm．Then，when Yuri was only a few weeks old，some hunters came．Dogs were sent into the den．Yuri's mother was woken up by the dogs．She tried to protect her cub，but when she climbed out of the den，she was shot by the hunters．Every year，between 3，000and 4，000brown bears are hunted and killed like this．There are only 110，000brown bears in Russia today and they almost disappear in other European countries．Their meat and fur are sold for thousands of dollars，so people will continue to hunt them．The cubs are usually just left to die．Without their mothers they can't survive．Yuri，however，was lucky．He was found by one of the hunters and he was taken to The Russian Bear Orphanage，350kilometers northwest of Moscow．The orphanage is run by Professor Valentin Pazhetnov．Here，Yuri will be looked after．He and other orphan bears will be fed and taught how to survive．When they are old enough，they will be taken to a nature reserve in Bryansk，where they will be protected．Professor Pazhetnov hopes that in the future some bears will be released in other European countries where they are now extinct．So far，over a hundred bear cubs have been saved by the orphanage．Seventy bears have been returned to the forest．We want to save more．That's why I'm writing to you now．Money is needed for food，transport and for people to look after the baby bears．Yuri and his friends need your help．Please send a donation （捐赠）today．Together we can save the orphan bears．Thank you．Yours sincerely，Fred88．What was Yuri like when he was born？89．What happened to Yuri's mother

When we were there, we had lost sight of the lake; and now our road was over a wild land.1(go) a little way, we saw before us , at the distance of about half a mile, a very large stone building, with a high wall round it , neither field nor tree near.The wild land was overgrown with grey grass that cattle might feed upon. We could nottell2this building was. It appeared 3it had been built strong to defend from storms; but for what purpose? William called out to us that we should observe that place well, for it was exactly like one of the shelters of the Alps(阿尔卑斯山), 4(build) for the reception of travelers, and indeed I had thought it 5be so. This building, from its singular structure and appearance, made the place, which is itself in acountry 6Scotland, remarkable.When we7(pass) it and looked back, three pyramidal mountains on the opposite side of Lock Lomond ended the view, 8 in certain kind of weather might be very grand.

Watering plants seems like a simple task but it actually requires many considerations. For example, plants growing in areas with low rainfall orareas 1(expose) to dry wind require more water. On the other hand, plants which have a good adaptation to dry conditions or have the ability to store water in their cellsrequire 2(frequent) watering . The watering of plants should not be viewed as a minor process in gardening 3 this task plays an extremely important role in ensuring healthy plant growth.Let's first take a closer look at plants growing in gardens. Since watering is a critical gardening task, 4 accessible water supply is vital. A garden tap with a hose of sufficient length to reach the furthest part of the garden5(prefer). This tends to make watering much easier and ensures adequate water is provided for the plants. Most inexperienced gardeners water little 6very frequently. This is undesirable as it encourages shallow root growth. In addition, watering in full sun causes leaves to lose water quickly from the surface of the soil. Therefore, some experts recommend 7(install) an automatic watering system.As for plants growing in pots or containers, they tend to lose water rapidly. One way to reduce such a risk is 8(group) the plants close together to keep moisture. Try to move them to a shady place if you are away from home for a few days. Otherwise, you will return home to see your plants dead.二、选词填空3、【来源】 2015年上海长宁区高三二模第3题2015年上海嘉定区高三二模第41~50题10分The fortunate people in the world, the only really fortunate people in the world in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it isoften 1 to be, and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition.

We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced at an ever2rate." Americanshave3to the call, and much of the world has followed.Consumption has become a central pillar of life in industrial lands and is even deeply rooted in social4. Opinion surveys in the world's two largest economies, Japan and the United States, show consumerist definitions of success becoming very popular.Over consumption by the fortunate in the world is an environmentalproblem5in severity by anything but perhaps population growth.

With the9of a consumerist culture, they also think that they havebeen10attempting to satisfy what are essentially social, psychological and spiritual needs with material things.11, the opposite of overconsumption—poverty—isno12to either environmental or human problems.

However, in recent years a growing body of research has revealed that the "obvious" is not true. It seems that if you are a city resident, you typically know a smaller proportion of your neighbors than you do if you are a resident of a smaller community. But, for the most part, this fact has few significant consequences. It does not necessarily follow that if you know few of your neighbors you will know no one else.Even in very large cities, people maintain close social ties within small, private social worlds. Indeed, the number and quality of meaningful relationships do not differ between more and less urban people. Small-town residents are more involved with kin than are big-city residents. Yet city dwellers compensate by developing friendships with people who share similar interests and activities. Urbanism may produce a different style of life, but the quality of life does not differ between town and city. Nor are residents of large communities any likelier to display psychological symptoms of stress or alienation, a feeling of not belonging, than are residents of smaller communities. However, city dwellers do worry more about crime, and this leads them to a distrust of strangers.These findings do not imply that urbanism makes little or no difference. If neighbors are strangers to one another, they are less likely to sweep the sidewalk of an elderly couple living next door or keep an eye out for young trouble makers. Moreover, as Wirth suggested, there may be a link between a community's population size and its social heterogeneity（多样性）. For instance, sociologists have found much evidence that the size of a community is associated with bad behavior including gambling, drugs, etc. Large-city urbanites are also more likely than their small-town counterparts to have a cosmopolitan（见多识广的） outlook, to display less responsibility to traditional kinship roles, to vote for leftist political candidates, and to be tolerant of nontraditional religious groups, unpopular political groups, and so-called undesirables. Everything considered, heterogeneity and unusual behavior seem to be outcomes of large population size.(1) According to the paragraph 1, it was once a common belief that people in modernsociety.A. tended to acquaint themselves with people passing byB. could not develop very close relationships with othersC. bore great responsibilities to neighbors and relativesD. usually had more friends than small-town residents(2) One of the consequences of urbanism is that the city residents .A. suffer from the lack of friendshipB. lower the quality of relationshipsC. show little concern for other peopleD. become suspicious of each other(3) We can learn from the passage that the bigger a community is,.A. the more open-minded people areB. the more similar its interests isC. the more likely it it to display stressD. the better its quality of life is(4) What is the passage mainly about?A. Advantages and disadvantages of living in big cities or small townsB. Minor differences in the interpersonal relations between cities and townsC.

The answer is not as simple as might be thought. The Moose（麋鹿） reached Isle Royale in Lake Superior by crossing over winter ice and bred freely there in isolation without predators. When wolves later reached the island, naturalists widely assumed that the wolves would play a key role in controlling the moose population. Careful studies have demonstrated, however, that this is not the case. The wolves eat mostly old or diseased animals that would not survive long anyway. In general, the moose population is controlled by food availability, disease and other factors rather than by wolves.When experimental populations are set up under simple laboratory conditions, the predator often wipes out its prey and then becomes extinct itself. However, if safe areas like those prey animals have in the wild are provided, the prey population drops to low level but not extinction. Low prey population levels then provide inadequate food for the predators, causing the predator population to decrease. Whenthis occurs, the prey population can rebound. In this situation the predator and prey population may continue in this cyclical pattern for some time.Population cycles are characteristic of small mammals, and they sometimes appear to be brought about by predators. Ecologists studying hare populations have found that the North American snowshoe hare follows a roughly ten-year cycle. Its numbers fall tenfold to thirty in a typical cycle, and a hundredfold change can occur. Two factors appear to be generating the cycle: food plants and predators.The preferred foods of snowshoe hares are tender willow branches. As the hare population increases, the quantity of these branches decreases, forcing the hares to feed on low-quality high-fiber food. Lower birth rates and low growth rates follow, so there is a corresponding decline in hare abundance. Once the hare population has declined, it takes two to three year for the quantity of branches to recover.A key predator of the snowshoe hare is the Canada lynx. The Canada lynx shows a ten-year cycle of abundance（大量） that parallels the abundance cycle of hares. As hare numbers fall, so do lynx numbers, as their food supply decreased.Predators are an essential factor in maintaining communities that are rich and diverse in species. Without predators, the species that is the best competitor for food, shelter, and other environmental resources tends to dominate and exclude the species with which it competes. This phenomenon is known as "competitor exclusion". However, if the community contains a predator of the strongest competitor species, then the population of that competitor is controlled. Thus even the less competitive species are able to survive. From the stand point of diversity（多样性）, it is usually a mistake to eliminate a major predator from a community.(1) The author uses the example of the moose and wolves on Isle Royale to.A. provide evidence that predators influence prey populationsB. question the belief in the effect of predators on prey populationsC. demonstrate predator population grows faster than that of the preyD. prove that studies of isolated populations tend to be useful(2) The word "rebound" in the passage is closest in meaning to.A. ReactB. ResistC. RemainD. Recover(3) Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Laboratory results can't explain the changes in predator and prey populations of the wild.B. The growth of hare population may lead to a corresponding increase in its birth rates.C. The experimental environments can promote the growth of predator and prey populations.D. The existence of a major predator in a community is a threat to the diversity of species.(4) What can we conclude from the passage about the cycle of the Canada lynx?A. When hare numbers decrease, lynx numbers increase.B. It has a great effect on the number of snowshoe hare.C. It closely follows the cycle of the snowshoe hare.D. It is not directly related to the availability of lynx food.(5) What is the best title of this passage?A. What role predators play in keeping competitor species.B. Whether predators have an impact on prey populations.C. A study of the populations of the predator and prey animals.D. Contributing factors of the changes in animal populations.五、任务型阅读8、【来源】 2015年上海长宁区高三二模第8~11题2016年上海嘉定区高三二模第78~81题8分The herds of bulls and horses depicted running along the walls of the Lascaux caves in France are among the most magnificent examples of prehistoric art ever discovered.Courage is a quality we cherish. Yet only lately has it been studied systematically to try to define what it is and is not, where it comes from and why we love it so much. "Courage helps to define the excellent person, " write George Kateb, a political theorist at Princeton University. "One of the worst criticism in the world is to be called a coward, a quite timid person."For many people, courage is most readily displayed in battle; for example, the brave soldier running into the line of fire to rescue the injured.Yet George Kateb says that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait （特性）becomes immoral, ennobling killing by insisting that only in battle can people discover the depths of their nobility. Thus, it makes killing a noble thing.Stanley J Rachman of the University of British Columbia studies paratroopers （伞兵） preparing for their first jump. The work revealed three different groups: the fearless who jumped without hesitation; the timid whose fear kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted physiologically like the timid but acted like the fearless leaper, and jumped.Rachman considered the final group courageous, defining courage as "a behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear". Thus, courage becomes the property of anyone who does something that he or she fears.In interviewing 320 children aged from 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University, Rotterdam, of the Netherlands and his colleagues found that children also consider courage as the conquering of one's fears; and more than 70% claimed they had performed brave acts, including stealing money from one's mother's purse.Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society in Montana, US, also distinguishes between animals that behave bravely due to a lack of awareness and experience, and those that are aware of a danger but proceed anyway.He recalled the time he and his colleagues had cornered a young bison （野牛） to take blood samples. At that time, an adult male bison was standing guard, refusing to let the scientists approach. "He knew that he could be attacked by us, " said Berger. "I'd call this a courageous, even heroic act."(1) What does George Kateb think of courage?(2) Why did Rachman think that the third group were courageous?(3) Peter Muris found that most children demonstrated their courage.(4) The writer uses the example of an adult bison to.六、翻译9、【来源】 2015年上海长宁区高三二模第9题2015年上海嘉定区高三二模第82~86题20分翻译(1) 人们越来越依赖互联网。

It is generally agreed that a good student must be able to concentrate for a reasonable time on a written text, yet most students are given very little help to practice this skill. Almost all classroom reading is 1 into minutes of reading and therefore it is no wonder that a number of students have 2 in this field.If you have a problem with 3 , you must first examine the conditions in which you work. Lighting can be a problem: too many readers put up with 4 lighting conditions. If this is a problem, and you don’t have a reading lamp, try a strong bulb (灯泡), read near a window in day time and always avoid reading in your own shadow. 5 the light should come from overhead or over your shoulder. Reflective surfaces should be avoided. You should also 6 excessive contrast (过度对比) caused by using a reading lamp as the only 7 of light as this will cause great tiredness and probably eye injury.A second reason for poor concentration is the 8 of motivation, that is, an absence of any 9 sense of purpose. If this is the cause, you will almost 10 be bored by the text.Be sure that you keep your 11 in mind during your reading so that you know you should also adopt some specific techniques — such as making notes from your reading — to aid your concentration.If you play the role of a 12 receiver of information, simply concentrating on absorbing everything you read, you will 13 that your mind is overloaded, confused by the material.
