31、e a storybook by my bedside. I was extremely inspired by the elegant way the words sounded.I always wanted to know what mymomwas reading. Hearing momsay," I can't believe what's printed in the newspaper this morning," made me want to grab it out of her hands and read it myself. I w

32、anted to be like my mom and know all of the things she knew. So I carried around a book, and each night, just to be like her, I would pretend to be reading.This is how everyone learned to read. Wewould start off with sentences, then paragraphs, and then stories. It seemed an unending journey, but ev

33、en as a six-year-old girl I realized that knowing how to read could open many doors. Whenmomsaid," The C-A-N-D-Y is hidden on the top shelf," I knew where the candy was. My progress in reading raised my curiosity, and I wanted to know everything. I often found myself telling my mom to driv

34、e more slowly, so that I could read all of the road signs we passed.Most of my reading through primary, middle and high school was factual reading. I read for knowledge, and to make A's on my tests. Occasionally, I would read a novel that was assigned, but I didn't enjoy this type of reading

35、. I liked facts, things that are concrete. I thought anything abstract left too much room for argument.Yet, now that I'm growing and the world I once knew as being so simple is becoming more complex, I find myself needing a way to escape. By opening a novel, I can leave behind my burdens and ent

36、er into a wonderful andmysterious world where I amnow a new character. In these worlds I can become anyone. I don't have to write down what happened or what technique the author was using when he or she wrote this. I just read to relax.We're taught to read because it's necessary for much

37、 of human understanding. Reading is a vital part of mylife. Reading satisfies mydesire to keep learning. And I've found that the possibilitiesthat lie within booksare limitless.41. Whydid the author want to grab the newspaper out of mom's hands？（）A. She wanted mom to read the news to her.B.

38、She was anxious to know what had happened.C. She couldn't wait to tear the newspaper apart.D. She couldn't help but stop mom from reading.42. According to Paragraph 3 ， the author's reading of road signs indicatesA. her unique way to locate herselfB. her eagerness to develop her reading

41、agic of Reading B. The Pleasure of Reading C. Growing Up with Reading D. Reading Makes a Full Man CHow does an ecosystem （生態(tài)系統(tǒng)） 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 mathematic

42、al models of food webs， noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.With such models， scientists have found out somekey principles operating in food webs. Most food webs， for instance ， consist of manyweaklinks rather than a few strong ones. Whena predator （掠食動物） always eats huge numbers of a si

43、ngle prey （獵物） ， the two species are strongly linked ； whena predator lives on various species ， they are weakly linked. Food webs maybe dominated by manyweaklinks because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species ， it can survive the extinction （滅 絕）

44、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 theoriginal prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs m

45、ay 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 direct

46、ly attack.And unplanned humanactivities have proved the idea of top-down controlby 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 ecologica

47、l balance.Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematicalmodels. Ideally ， the system would tell us whento adapt humanactivities 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 sa

48、ysbecause once ecosystems pass their tipping point （臨界點） ， it is remarkably difficult for them to return.46. 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 app

49、roaches to studying the species in the ecosystems.D. The differences between weak and strong links in food webs.47. A strong link is found between two species when a predatorA. has a wide food choiceB. can easily find new preyC. sticks to one prey speciesD. can quickly move to another place48. What

50、will happen if the populations of top predators in a food webgreatly decline ？（）A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.B. The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.D. The populations of other specie

51、s will experience unexpected changes.49. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4? ()A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.D. Industrial activities h

52、elp keep food webs stable.50. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance ?()A. By getting 川egal practices under control.B. 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 pre

53、ventive action. DWould you BETon the future of this mar? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle against debt and misfortune. A war injury has madehis left hand stop functioning , and he has often been in prison. Driven by heaven-knows-what motives , he determines to wr

54、ite a book.The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was Cervantes , and the book was Don Quixote (堂吉訶德).And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, whil

55、e others go to seed long before ?We've all known people who run out of steam before they reach life's halfway mark. I'm not talking about those whofail to get to the top. Wecan't all get there. I'm talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because they have adopte

56、d the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.Most of us , in fact , progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and then becometrapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But ， if we are willing to le

We learn that however much we try to please ， some people are never going to love us-an idea that troubles at f

However， we canachieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something larger than our ownlittle egos （自我），whether to loved ones, to fellow humans to work, or to some moral concept.Many of us equate （視等同于） “
