Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the 1920s,wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations-major food sources( 来源 ) for the wolf-grew rapidly.These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation( 植被 ),which reduced plant diversity in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes,and completely drove away the park’s beavers. As early as 1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 The government spent nearly 30 years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolves.The U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red foxes have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well. 【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍美国黄石公园重新引进灰狼 , 以改善公园的生态平衡的举措。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .What is the text mainly about?

What does the underlined word “ displaced ” in paragraph 2 mean ? A.Tested. 　　　　　 　　 B.Separated. C.Forced out.

Visiting an apple event is a good chance to see,and often taste,a wide variety of apples.To people who are used to the limited choice of apples such as Golden Delicious and Royal Gala in supermarkets,it can be quite an eye opener to see the range of classical apples still in existence,such as Decio which was grown by the Romans.Although it doesn’t taste of anything special,it’s still worth a try,as is the knobbly( 多疙瘩的 )Cat’s Head which is more of a curiosity than anything else. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 There are also varieties developed to suit specific local conditions.One of the very best varieties for eating quality is Orleans Reinette,but you’ll need a warm,sheltered place with perfect soil to grow it,so it’s a pipe dream for most apple lovers who fall for it.  At the events,you can meet expert growers and discuss which ones will best suit your conditions,and because these are family affairs,children are well catered for with apple-themed fun and games.

These are the findings of a 40-year study that followed the lives of 456 teenage boys from Boston.The study showed that those who had worked as boys enjoyed happier and more productive lives than those who had not.“Boys who worked in the home or community gained competence( 能力 ) and came to feel they were worthwhile members of society,”said George Vaillant,the psychologist( 心理学家 ) who made the discovery.“And because they felt good about themselves,others felt good about them.” 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Vaillant’s study followed these males in great detail.Interviews were repeated at ages 25,31 and 47.Under Vaillant,the researchers compared the men’s mental-health scores with their boyhood-activity scores.Points were awarded for part-time jobs,housework,effort in school,and ability to deal with problems. The link between what the men had done as boys and how they turned out as adults was surprisingly sharp .Those who had done the most boyhood activities were twice as likely to have warm relations with a wide variety of people,five times as likely to be well paid and 16 times less likely to have been unemployed.The researchers also found that IQ and family social and economic class made no real difference in how the boys turned out. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Working—at any age—is important.Childhood activities help a child develop responsibility,independence,confidence and competence—the underpinnings( 基础 ) of emotional health.They also help him understand that people must cooperate and work toward common goals.The most competent adults are those who know how to do this.Yet work isn’t everything.As Tolstoy once said,“One can live magnificently in this world if one knows how to work and how to love,to work for the person one loves and to love one’s work.” 【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。研究人员发现 , 一个在童年时期曾在家里或社区工作过的男人长大后会拥有更大的社会价值感 , 他的个人幸福指数也会更高。而且这种感觉会在他人生中的各个阶段都有所体现。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .What do we know about John?

David Dominoni,of Glasgow University,said that light from street lamps,takeaway signs and homes is affecting the birds’ biological clocks,leading to them being wide awake when they should be asleep. Dr Dominoni,who is putting cameras inside nesting boxes to track sleeping patterns,said lack of sleep could put the birds’ health at risk.His study shows that when robins are exposed to light at night in the lab,it leads to some genes being active at the wrong time of day.And the more birds are exposed to light,the more active they are at night. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 He told people at a conference,“There have been a couple of studies suggesting they are increasing their song output at night and during the day they are still singing.Singing is a costly behaviour and it takes energy.So by increasing their song output,there might be some costs of energy.” And it is not just robins that are being kept awake by artificial light.Blackbirds and seagulls are also being more nocturnal .Dr Dominoni said,“In Glasgow where I live,gulls are a serious problem.I have people coming to me saying ‘You are the bird expert.Can you help us kill these gulls?’.During the breeding( 繁殖 )season,between April and June,they are very active at night and very noisy and people can’t sleep.” 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Although Dr Dominoni has only studied light pollution,other research concluded that robins living in noisy cities have started to sing at night to make themselves heard over loud noise. However,some birds thrive( 兴旺 ) in noisy environments.A study from California Polytechnic University found more hummingbirds in areas with heavy industrial machinery.It is thought that they are capitalising on their predators( 天敌 )fleeing to quieter areas. 【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。光污染使知更鸟等鸟类的生物钟发生了紊乱 , 错把有人造光的夜间当成白天而高歌 , 从而严重影响这些鸟类的健康。然而 , 像蜂鸟这样的鸟在嘈杂的环境中却更加兴旺。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .According to Dr Dominoni’s study,what causes robins to sing so much? A.The breeding season. B.The light in modern life. C.The dangerous environment.

A.Because there are fewer dangers. B.Because there is more food to eat. C.Because there is less light pollution.

But a transparent object doesn’t absorb or scatter light,at least not very much.Light can pass through it without bending or stopping.That means a transparent object doesn’t look very different from the surrounding air or water.You don’t see it—you see the things behind it. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 To become transparent,an animal needs to keep its body from absorbing or scattering light.Living materials can stop light because they contain pigments( 色素 ) that absorb specific colors of light.But a transparent animal doesn’t have pigments,so its tissues won’t absorb light.According to Johnsen,avoiding absorption is actually easy.The real challenge is preventing light from scattering. Animals are built of many different materials—skin,fat,and more—and light moves through each at a different speed.Every time light moves into a material with a new speed,it bends and scatters.Transparent animals use different tricks to fight scattering.Some animals are simply very small or extremely flat.Without much tissue to scatter light,it is easier to be see-through.Others build a large,clear mass of non-living jelly-like( 果冻状的 ) material and spread themselves over it. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Larger transparent animals have the biggest challenge,because they have to make all the different tissues in their bodies slow down light exactly as much as water does.They need to look uniform.But how they’re doing it is still unknown.One thing is clear:for these larger animals,staying transparent is an active process.When they die,they turn a non-transparent milky white. 【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。文章首先说明了身体透明的动物极其脆弱 , 很容易受到伤害 ; 然后解释这类动物的身体为何是透明的 ; 最后说明动物们为了保持身体透明需要采取的方法。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .According to Paragraph 1,transparent animals 　　　 .  A.stay in groups B.can be easily damaged C.appear only in deep ocean D.are beautiful creatures 【答案】 B 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句内容可知 , 身体透明的动物大多极其脆弱 , 稍微触碰就可能伤害到它们 , 故选 B 项。 2 .

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt( 破坏 ) the area they are in,but the same can be said of some old buildings too.Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas.I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative( 保守的 ) and do not like change. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings,I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward .If we always reproduced what was there before,we would all still be living in caves.Thus,I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different,even though that might be the more risky choice.  【语篇解读】 本文为议论文。文章议论的是在历史名城的古建筑区域里能否建设现代化的建筑。首段提出论点 , 然后给出论据 , 指出现代建筑的好处与坏处 , 最后得出结论 , 反对模仿古建筑 , 建议尝试新的不同风格。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .What does the author say about historical buildings in the first paragraph?

UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined.Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest,Simard shows just how wrong he was.In fact, the opposite is true :trees survive through their co-operation and support,passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.  Nitrogen ( 氮 ) and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi ( 真菌 ) networks,making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy.This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons ( 神经元 )in our brains,and when one tree is destroyed,it affects all. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 Simard talks about “mother trees”,usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend.She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation,transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow.When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed,we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest. “We didn’t take any notice of it ,” Simard says sadly.“Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying,but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry,we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future. 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 【语篇解读】 本文为说明文。一位植物学教授认为 : 在 “ 树木社会 ” 中 , 它们彼此依赖、相互合作 , 一棵树遭到毁坏 , 其他树木就会受到影响。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 1 .The underlined sentence “the opposite is true” in Paragraph 2 probably means that trees 　　　 .  A.compete for survival B.protect their own wealth C.depend on each other D.provide support for dying trees 【答案】 C 【解析】 句意理解题。根据画线句子后的内容 “trees survive through their co-operation and support,passing around necessary nutrition ‘ depending on who needs it ’ .” 可知 ,Simard 不同意达尔文 “ 适者生存 ” 的观点 ,Simard 的观点和达尔文 “ 适者生存 ” 的观点相反 : 树通过它们之间的合作和支持 , 传递相互需要的营养来生存 , 故选 C 项。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 2 .“Mother trees” are extremely important because they 　　　 .  A.look the largest in size in the forest B.pass on nutrition to young trees C.seem more likely to be cut down by humans D.know more about the complex “tree societies” 【答案】 B 【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一、二句可知。 试做真题 透析真题 高手必备 萃取高招 对点精练 3 .
