13、ank holidays. There can be even more festivos in Colombia, depending on which region of Colombia you live in. This is because different regions have their own holidays.

I took out the Websters Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, its an objec
20、t existing since or belonging to earlier times.a work of art. a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 ye
21、ars old.”“Im only 67,” I reminded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “Its very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with an
22、tiques.There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now thats an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched (刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that, but the marks are good marks. They show living,
23、or being around. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didnt buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explai
24、ned to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. Theyd been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another. Theyd lasted through years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “l dont
25、 have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened, “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered.

28、andmas Antique B. Jennys AntiqueC. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of Antiques CHow does an ecosystem work? What makes the population 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, models of food webs, noting
29、 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 example, 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 specie
30、s 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 predator
31、can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows to 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 change
32、s 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 species-including species they did not directly attack.And unplanned human activ
33、ities 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
34、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 th
35、eir tipping point（临界点）, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.27. What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical of food webs?A. The living habits of species in food webs.来源:学|科|网B. The rules governing food webs of the ecosystems.C. The approaches to studying the species in th

A strong link is found between two species when a predator_.A. has a wide food choice.来源:学科网B. can easily find new prey.C. sticks to one prey speciesD. can quickly move to another place29. What conclusion can be drawn fro
37、m the examples in Paragraph 4?A. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.30. How does an early-warning system help us maint
38、ain the ecological balance?A. By getting illegal practices under control.来源:Zxxk.ComB. By stopping us from killing large predators.C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项
