7 解析推理判断题。根据第一段中“Here are brief introductionsto their histories and exhibits.”可知,本文 主要目的是介绍东京大学几个博物馆以及它们的历史和展品。故选 A 项。 B The situation of the world’s plants is not good.One fifth of the kinds of plants are in danger of disappearing,according to a report. “Plants are very vital to human beings,” said Kathy Willis,who led the new report.“Plants provide us with everything—food,fuel,medicine,and they are very important for our climate controlling.Without plants we would not be here.” The good news is that deforestation rates(森林砍伐率) around the world have dropped largely since the 1950s.However,this report on the health of plants around the world shows that there is much more to be done. The report predicts that there are now 390,900 kinds of plants.And about 21 percent of those plants are in danger of disappearing.“The good side is that we’re still discovering lots of new plants,about 2,000 each year,” said Dr Willis.“The bad side is that we’ve seen a huge change in land cover,mainly caused by cultural activity,with a little bit of climate change as well.” Human activity has a great effect on the danger of plants disappearing.As humans cut down forests to make room for agriculture,towns and cities,biodiversity(生物多样性) is lost.This could not only affect our own food supply directly,but also it could affect the food chain. 24.What does the underlined word “vital” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Useless. B.Friendly. C.Equal. D.Important. 答案 D 解析词义猜测题。根据后文“Plants provide us with everything—food,fuel,medicine,and they are very important for our climate controlling.Without plants we would not be here.”可知植物为我们提供了一切 ——食物、燃料、药物,它们对我们的气候控制非常重要。没有植物,我们就不会在这里。故 Kathy Willis 说的是植物对人类非常重要。可知画线单词意思为“重要的”。故选 D 项。 25.Which of the following does Dr Willis agree with? A.New plants are more than ever before. B.About half the plants will disappear soon. C.Many new plants are found every year. D.Plants mustn’t be used to produce medicine. 答案 C

Before buttons,clothes were bigger-they had no fixed shapes.People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things.Because of the buttonhole,the fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button.At one time,it's the very way to make clothes fit well for the body.People are completely secure. The pattern of a button hasn't changed much since the Middle Ages.It's one of the most lasting designs in history,because it actually works to keep our clothes shut.Zippers easily break and are hard to fix.Velcro is rackety,and it wears out after a while.However,if a button breaks,you just exactly sew another on.And you can do up your buttons without disturbing others. A button is there for the long run.It'snot just the most important design ever,but it's thought to be a decisive factor in the development and innovation of clothes.Present design of clothes shows its influence obviously.If you're wearing a shirt,take a look at the position of buttons on it.Ifyou're a male,the buttons would likely be on the right side,but for a female,the buttons are usually found on the left. 8

Before buttons,clothes were bigger—they had no fixed shapes.People felt as if they wrapped themselves in things.Because of the buttonhole,the fashion moved closer to the body as we discovered uses for the button.At one time,it’sthe very way to make clothes fit well for the body.People are completely secure. The pattern of a button hasn’t changed much since the Middle Ages.It’s one of the most lasting designs in history,because it actually works to keep our clothes shut.Zippers easily break and are hard to fix.Velcro is rackety,and it wears out after a while.However,if a button breaks,you just exactly sew another on.And you can do up your buttons without disturbing others. A button is there for the long run.It’s not just the most important design ever,but it’s thought to be a decisive factor in the development and innovation of clothes.Present design of clothes shows its influence obviously.If you’re wearing a shirt,take a look at the position of buttons on it.If you’re a male,the buttons would likely be on the right side,but for a female,the buttons are usually found on the left

志鸿优化系列丛书 志鸿优化网,永远提供更新的! 丛书主编任志湖。 http://www.zhyh.org D.When buttons came into sight 答案A 解桐标题归纳题。结合全文内容可知,文章主要讲了纽扣的普遍使用影响了服装的发展和变化。故 A项适合用作本文标题。 D How does an ecosystem(生态系统)work?What makes the populations 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 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 instance,consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones.When a predator() always eats huge numbers of single prey(),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 arrangement is more stable over the long term.If a predator can eat several species,it can survive the extinction()of one of them.And if a predator can move on to another 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 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 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 activities 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 early-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 their tipping point(临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them to return. 32.What 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 解析细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句中的“scientists have found out...in food webs..”得知科学家 们发现了食物网运行的关键法则。故选B项。 33.A strong link is found between two species when a predator A.has a wide food choice 10
