【答案】
(1)B
(2)C
(3)D
(4)A
(5)D
【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了借助食物网的数学模型,科学家们发现了一些在食物网运营的关键原则。
科学家们说;因为一个生态系统越过了它的临界点,它们很难再回来。
该系统将告诉我们何时适应人类活动,这些活动正将生态系统推向崩溃,或者甚至允许我们将生态系统从边缘拉回来,预防是关键。
(1)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Withsuchmodels,scientistshavefoundoutsomekeyprinciplesoperatinginfoodwebs.”可知,借助食物网的数学模型,科学家们发现了食物网中的一些关键原则。
故选B。
(2)考查细节理解。
根据第二段中的“Whenapredator(掠食动物)alwayseatshugenumbersofasingleprey(猎物),thetwospeciesarestronglylinked”可知,当捕食者总是吃大量的单一猎物,这两个物种是紧密相连的。
故选C。
(3)考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“Inthe1960s,scientistsproposedthatpredatorsatthetopofafoodwebhad,asurprisingamountofcontroloverthesizeofpopulationsofotherspeciestheydidnotdirectlyattack”可知,处于食物网顶端的食肉动物对它们没有直接攻击的其他物种的种群数量有着惊人的控制,由此可推断出,如果食物链顶级食肉动物的数量大大下降,其他物种的种群将经历意想不到的变化。
故选D。
(4)考查推理判断。
根据最后一段中的“Ideallythesystemwouldtelluswhentoadapthumanactivitiesthatarepushinganecosystemtowardabreakdownorwouldevenallowustopullanecosystembackfromtheborderline”可知,人类过度的活动会将生态系统推向崩溃,由此可推断出,不受控制的人类活动极大地破坏了生态系统。
故选A。
(5)考查细节理解。
根据最后一段中的“Scientistshavebuiltanearly-warmingsystembasedonmathematicalmodels.Ideallythesystemwouldtelluswhentoadapthumanactivitiesthatarepushinganecosystemtowardabreakdownorwouldevenallowustopullanecosystembackfromtheborderline.”可知,早期变暖系统发出紧急需要采取预防行动的信号帮助我们维持生态平衡。
故选D。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查,是一篇故事类阅读,考生需要准确掌握细节信息,并根据上下文进行逻辑推理,从而选出正确答案。
2.阅读短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

【解析】【分析】DevonGallagher小时因病右腿截肢,尽管有很多不便,但她认为这可以激励她过上最好的生活。
长大后Gallagher在社交媒体上分享自己环球旅行的照片,但她并没有简单的使用地理标签,而是拍照前在假肢上写下自己的位置。
她的故事告诉我们不要让任何东西挡住通往梦想的道路。
(1)细节理解题。
根据第一段中AlthoughtheamputationcausedinconvenienceforGallagherearlyon,shenowseesitasnothingshortofinspirationforlivingherbestlife.。
尽管截肢早期给她带来了很多不便,但她认为这可以激励她过上最好的生活。
由此可知Gallagher想以她独特的方式表明她把自己的不幸看做是另一种幸运的形式,故选C。
(2)推理判断题。
NowshehasbeentakingpicturesacrosstheContinent,whichshowhercyclingoverthecanalinAmsterdamrelaxingonawall…现在她在整个大陆拍照,应该是这些照片展示了…所以which指代的是她拍的照片,故选B。
(3)推理判断题。
根据第四段OnedayIhadasuddenthoughttogetachalk-board,"Gallaghersaid."Mymumandgrandmotherdidn'tliketheidea,butmyfriendsthoughtitwasgreatandtoldmetogoforit,soIdid."Gallagher说她妈妈和外婆都不喜欢她chalk-board的主意,但她的朋友喜欢,让她去试试,所以她就去了,可知Gallagher很有决心。
根据第二段 Tospreadthatmessage.Gallagherhasgonetosocialmedia,whereshesharesphotosofhertravelsacrosstheworld,butinsteadofsimplyusingageo-tag(地理位置标签),shewritesherlocationonherartificiallegbeforetakingapicture。
Gallagher把她的位置写在假肢上来和大家分享可知他是一个很有创造性的人,故选C。
(4)主旨大意题。
最后一段Andiflifegivesyouanartificialleg,makeart。
是本文的主题句,根据文章内容可知本文主要描述的是截肢的Gallagher在社交媒体上分享自己环球旅行的照片,但她并没有简单的使用地理标签,而是拍照前在假肢上写下自己的位置的故事。
这篇文章是想通过Gallagher的一条假肢,传达出一种乐观向上的生活态度,故ASpecialArtificialLeg是最好的标题。
故选A。
【点评】考查阅读理解。
本文涉及细节理解题、推理判断题和主旨大意题三种常考题型,细节理解题要注意从文中寻找答案;推理判断题需要联系上下文以及分析特殊句式,推断出需要的信息;主旨大意题需要通读全文,了解大意之后找出中心思想。
