参考答案和解析
答案:D
解析:
本句意思:由于栖息地遭到破坏,这一物种几乎已经灭绝。die out意思为“灭绝,绝迹”, 与become extinct(灭绝,绝种)意思相近。turn dead死掉;pass by经过;carry away带走。

第7题:

The loss of biological diversity has become most spectacularly noticeable in extinction or decline of populations of large and well-known animals.Many animal species have become extinct since the 1700’s, among them the California grizzly bear, the dodo, and the passenger pigeon.Hundreds of other animal species are threatened.In North America, endangered species include the black-footed ferret, the California condor, the desert tortoise, and the whooping crane.

Most species in danger of extinction anywhere in the world are suffering from the intrusion (侵入) of human beings.The Asian elephant, for example, has become an endangered species due to the expansion of the human population throughout its range in southern Asia.In Africa, the African elephants are being killed off for their tusks.Monkeys and other primates throughout the world are threatened by hunting, capture for medical use, and the destruction of their habitats.And the rhinoceroses, lions, and other large mammals of the African savanna (grassy plains with scattered trees) compete for land and life with some of the most rapidly growing human populations in the world.

The loss of biological diversity is most severe, however, in the tropical rain forests.The forests of the tropics are particularly vulnerable to disturbance because the soils have a low capacity for retaining nutrients.Most of the forests’ nutrient elements are held in the tissues of plants.When loggers and farmers destroy existing plant cover, the nutrients are washed from the land into streams, and the land itself becomes less able to support life.Destruction of these forests destroys the habitat of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of species from such creatures as the howler monkey and indigo macaw, to less visible species of plants, insects, and microbes, many of which are not yet known to science.

1.The author points out that species extinction ().

A.is most noticeable in North America

B.is mainly taking place among large animals

C.quickened with industrialization of the society

D.never took place before the 1700’s

2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned with regard to human intrusion?

A.Elephants are killed off for their tusks

B.Some primates are hunted for medical use

C.Growing human population results in the competition for land and life among animals

D.Men live increasingly on animals as their source of food.

3.The chief cause of the gradual disappearance of biological diversity is ().

A.human cruelty

B.human interference

C.the increase of human population

D.the disappearance of the forests

4.In tropical forests,().

A.animals live a hard life due to competition

B.a lot of species die out for lack of food

C.rains constitute the major threat to species

D.a greater number of animals are yet to be known

5.It can be inferred that species extinction ().

A.proceeds of a faster rate than noticeable

B.is the worst among well-known animals

C.is the most severe in Africa

D.is chiefly due to competition among species

Ants as a Barometer of Ecological Change
At picnics,ants are pests.But they have their uses.In industries such as mining,farming and forestry,they can help gauge the health of the environment by just crawling around and being antsy.
It has been recognized for decades that ant—which are highly sensitive to ecological change—can provide a near-perfect barometer of the state of an ecosystem.Only certain species, for instance,will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees._______(46) And still others will move in and take up residence.
By looking at which species populate a deforested area,scientists can determine how “stressed”the land is._______(47)Ants are used simply because they are so common and comprise so many species.
Where mine sites are being restored,for example,some ant species will recolonize the stripped land more quickly than others._______(48)Australian mining company Capricorn Coal Management has been successfully using ant surveys for years to determine the rate of recov-ery of land that it is replanting near its German Creek mine in Queensland.
Ant surveys also have been used with mine-site recovery projects in Africa and Brazil,where warm climates encourage dense and diverse ant populations.“We found it worked extremely well there,”says Jonathan Majer,a professor of environmental biology.Yet the surveys are perfectly suited to climates throughout Asia,he says,because ants are so common throughout the region. As Majer puts it:“That's the great thing about ants.”
Ant surveys are so highly-regarded as ecological indicators that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environmental impact of mining and tree harvesting._______ (49)
Why not?Because many companies can't afford the expense or the laboratory time needed to sift results for a comprehensive survey.The cost stems,also,from the scarcity of ant specialists. ______(50)

_______(46)
A: This allowed scientists to gauge the pace and progress of the ecological recovery.
B: Yet in other businesses,such as farming and property development,ant surveys aren't used widely.
C: Employing those people are expensive.
D: They do this by sorting the ants,counting their numbers and comparing the results with those of earlier surveys.
E: The evolution of ant species may have a strong impact on our ecosystem.
F: Others will die out for lack of food.

答案:F
解析:
空前一句“Only certain species , for instance , will continue to thrive at a forest site that has been cleared of trees”讲到某些特定物种在被砍光树木的森林里还能够继续存活,空后一句“still others will move in and take up residence”讲到自然会有其他生物迁入并定居下来,F项“其他种类将会因为缺乏食物而灭绝”与上下文联系紧密,符合语境。
空后一句“scientists can determine how ‘stressed ' the land is”讲到科学家们之所以利用蚂蚁是因为它们很常见而且种类繁多,在此之前应该说明怎么样利用蚂蚁,D项 “科学家们的观察是通过对蚂蚁的分类、数目的确定以及与前期调查结果的对比分析来进行的”符合语境。
空前一句讲到在一些矿井地带的recolonize(复原)过程中,会有一些蚂蚁的物种比其他物种更快地重新在植被破坏的土地上安家,A项“这样可以帮助科学家们测定生态恢复的速度和进程”与上文联系紧密,并且A项中的“the ecological recovery”与本段首句中的“are being restored”相照应,故选A。
空前一句“that governments worldwide accept their results when assessing the environ-mental impact of mining and tree harvesting”讲到世界各国政府都承认了通过蚂蚁而得出的关于估测采矿和伐林对环境带来的影响的结果,而第七段第一句则问道:为什么不用呢?B项“然而在另外一些行业中,比如农业和房地产开发业,用蚂蚁调查的方法并没有被广泛地采用”与下文联系紧密,起承上启下作用,符合语境。
空前一句“many companies can't afford the expense or the laboratory time needed to sift results for a comprehensive survey”讲到很多国家不能付出高额的费用,研究蚂蚁的专家稀少,故C项“雇佣他们花费巨大”与上文联系紧密,符合语境。
