What makes the populations of different species the
51、way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.2With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instanc
52、e， 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 species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrang
53、ement 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. 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 an
54、other to extinction.3Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small 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
55、 size of populations of other species including species they did not directly attack.4And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of topdown 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 p

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

60、 food webs.解析：选B细节理解题。第一段说，为了弄清生态系统的运转，科学家建立了数学模型；第二段说，通过这一模型，科学家找到了生态系统食物网中运行的一些关键原则，故选B。47A strong link is found between two species when a predator .Ahas a wide food choiceBcan easily find new preyCsticks to one prey speciesDcan quickly move to another place解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段的第三句“When a predator (掠
61、食动物) .strongly linked”可知，当一种掠食动物总是大量猎食单一的猎物时，那么它们之间就存在着紧密的联系，故本题选C。 48What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?AThe prey species they directly attack will die out.BThe species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.CThe living environment of oth
62、er species will remain unchanged.DThe populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.解析：选D细节理解题。根据第三段的“where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems”可知，位于食物网顶端的掠食动物数量的细微变化都会给整个生态系统带来巨大变化，这与D项陈述相符。 49What conclusion can be drawn from the ex
63、amples in Paragraph 4?AUncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.BRapid economic development threatens animal habitats.CSpecies of commercial value dominate other species.DIndustrial activities help keep food webs stable.解析：选A推理判断题。根据第四段的第一句“未经计划的人类活动证明了顶端掠食动物自上而下控制的观点是正确的”是这一段的主题句，下面的例
64、子是为了证明这一观点，根据本段最后一句“这些行为已经大大影响了生态平衡”可知，人为的不受控制的行为会扰乱生态平衡，故选A。50How does an earlywarning system help us maintain the ecological balance?ABy getting illegal practices under control.BBy stopping us from killing large predators.CBy bringing the brokendown ecosystems back to normal.DBy signaling the urge
65、nt need for taking preventive action.解析：选D推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，这个系统是以数学模型为基础建立的，能告诉我们什么时候应该改变人类把生态系统逼向崩溃的活动，然后说“预防是关键”。故选D。 为什么考有何价值导向解读一、发展思维品质本文第49题考查学生结合生活常识运用批判性思维解题的能力。本题题干意为：从第四段的例子中我们可以得出什么结论？第四段中以人类在海洋中捕食顶端掠食动物鳕鱼和在陆地上大量杀死顶端掠食动物狼为例来解释说明第一句话。根据“These actions have greatly affected the ecological bala
66、nce.”并结合生活常识可知，不受控制的人类活动极大地影响了生态系统。B、C、D三项文中没有提及，故选A项。二、聚焦核心价值本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家用数学模型来弄清生态系统运转的奥秘，旨在激发考生对大自然的兴趣，引领考生去探索大自然的奥秘，揭开大自然未知的秘密。自古以来，地球一直存在着许多未解之谜，正是这种神秘激励着人们不断为此努力探索、求知。认识地球、探索地球奥秘，一直是人们渴望和追求的目标。在探索求知的过程中，不仅能提高学生们的精神境界，也有利于培养创新和实践能力，从而实现自我超越。 (三)借力真题发掘学习能力.单句语法填空1This region is the home of

69、cal models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.句式解构本句是含有两个宾语从句的主从复合句。句子主干是“scientists have built mathematical models of food webs”。其中不定式短语“To find an answer”在句中作目的状语；“noting who eats whom and how much each one eats”为现在分词短语作方式状语，现在分词noting之后接了两个并列的宾语从句。句意翻译为了找到答案，科学家们建立了食物网的
70、数学模型，记录了谁吃谁，吃了多少。2Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.句式解构本句是一个含有一个宾语从句和一个定语从句的主从复合句。主句的主语是Mathematical models，谓语动词是have revealed。逗号前面部分是句子的主句，“that food webs may be unstable”
71、是宾语从句。逗号后是关系副词where引导的非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词food webs。句意翻译数学模型还揭示出，食物网可能是不稳定的。在食物网顶端掠食动物的细微变化都会对整个生态系统产生巨大影响。.主题语境写作一天，你在图书馆读了一篇关于生物生态系统的文章，你感觉收获很多，并计划呼吁周围的人一起来重视生态平衡，保护环境，请就此写一篇小短文。注意：1.词数80左右；2可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 参考范文：Last weekend, I happened to go to the city library to do some reading.
