8、dal since I was eight but gradually，that dream seemed like a million miles away. On January 2,2012， while Mom was visiting me in Iowa， I told her， “I dont like gymnastics anymore.I want to try dancing，or become a singer.I can get a job in Virginia.I just want to come home.” Moms eyes narrowed and he

9、r expression turned to stone.“Youre breaking my heart，Brie.” She said.“Youve been doing gymnastics for ten years，and now you want to quit? Have you lost your mind？” I hadnt lost my mind，but I had lost my fire.Its an entirely different thing to push toward that dream when you feel alone.“Im not tryin

10、g to break your heart，Mom，” I said.“I just dont want to do it anymore.” “I know you miss home.But youve signed a contract that says you will represent your country to the best of your ability.Youve got a responsibility to your teammates.And now you just want to walk away? I will not let you be disho

11、norable.If you dont like gymnastics， then at the very least，you will finish the season.” The next afternoon as I dragged myself into Chows gym，I thought of the efforts Mom had made in order to pay for my training.I thought of my two sisters: Arielle，who gave up ballroom dancing，and Joyelle，who stopp

12、ed ice skating so that our single mom could afford to keep me in gymnastics.

16、come home.”可知，作者由于特别想 家，所以想要放弃体操。故 B 项符合题意。 17A细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Youre breaking my heart，Brie.”可知，妈妈听 说我要半途而废感到心碎。故选 A 项。 18 C推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段“Exactly 210 days before I ever attempted my first vault (跳跃) in the London Summer Olympics”可知，作者在 210 天后参加了伦敦奥运会，因 此可推断出，作者最后改变了主意，并没有放弃体操。故选 C 项。 19B主旨大意题。作者最初想放

17、弃体操，但最后选择了坚持。B 项标题概括了文章 的主旨并与文章最后一段“my leap of faith came this close to ending in a crash of disaster”呼应。 故选 B 项。 20D推理判断题。作者因为想家想放弃体操训练，但母亲的一席话让她最终选择了 坚持，故答案选 D 项。 B 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

18、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 example，is made up of many weak links rather than a few stro

19、ng ones.When a predator(掠食动物)always eats huge numbers of a single prey(猎物)，the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species ， they are weakly linked.Food webs may be dominated (支配) by many weak links because that arrangement is stabler over the long term.If a predator ca

20、n 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. Math

21、ematical models have also shown that food webs may be unstable，where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.In the 1960s， scientists pointed out that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of oth

22、er speciesincluding species they did not directly attack. And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of topdown 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 a

23、ctions have greatly affected the ecological balance. Scientists have built an earlywarning 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 bo

24、rderline.Prevention is key，scientists says, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point(临界点)，it is remarkably difficult for them to return. ()21.What have scientists discovered with the help of mathematical models of food webs? AThe living habits of species in food webs. BThe rules governing fo

25、od webs of the ecosystems. CThe ways to studying the species in the ecosystems. DThe differences between weak and strong links in food webs. ()22.Astrong link is found between two species when a predator _. Ahas a wide food choice Bcan easily find new prey Csticks to one prey species Dcan quickly mo

26、ve to another place ()23.What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline? AThe prey species they directly attack will die out. BThe species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators. CThe living environment of other species will remain unchanged. DThe pop

27、ulations of other species will experience unexpected changes. ()24.What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4? AUncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems. BRapid economic development threatens animal habitats. CSpecies of commercial value dominate other species. DIndu

28、strial activities help keep food webs stable. ()25.How does an early warning system help us maintain the ecological balance? ABy getting illegal practices under control. BBy stopping us from killing large predators. CBy bringing the brokendown ecosystems back to normal. DBy signaling the urgent need

29、 for taking preventiveaction. 【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了借助食物链的数学模式，科学家们发现了一些食物 链运行的关键规则。科学家们说，一旦生态系统越出了它的临界点，就很难将其复原。 21B细节理解题。根据第一段“With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs.”可知，借助食物链的数学模式，科学家们发现了食物链的运 行规则。故选 B。 22C细节理解题。根据第二段“When a predator (掠食动物) always eats hu

30、ge numbers of a single prey(猎物), the two species are strongly linked”可知， 当捕食者总是吃大量的单一猎 物，这两个物种是紧密相连的。故选 C。 23D推理判断题。根据第三段“predators at the top of a food web had, a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species they did not directly attack”可知， 处于食物链顶端的食肉动物对它们没有直接攻击的其他物种的种

31、群数量有着惊人的控制，由 此可推断出，如果食物链顶端的食肉动物的数量大大下降，其他物种的种群将经历意想不到 的变化。故选 D。 24A推理判断题。根据第五段“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.”可知，人类过度的活动会将生态系统推向崩溃，由此可推 断出，不受控制的人类活

32、动极大地破坏了生态系统。故选 A。 25D细节理解题。根据最后一段可知，早期预警系统发出紧急需要采取预防行动的 信号帮助我们维持生态平衡。故选 D。 第二节(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized nations.They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 1

33、0,000 years ago._26_ The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly.Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses._27_ So they are called “diseases of civilization”Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are exampl

34、es of such diseases. Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco，probably none._28_ However，a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today. Stone Age people hunted wild animals fo

35、r their meat，which had much less fat than domestic ones.They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits.They did not have milk or any other dairy products，and they made very little use of grains._29_ We eat six times more salt than our ancestors.We eat more sugar.We eat twice as much fat but only

36、 one third as much protein and much less vitamin C. _30_ But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did，cutting the amount of fatty，salty and sweet food. AStone Age people lived a simple life. BBut today，we enjoy eating a lot of these. CIn that

37、case，they would live much healthier. DAncient people also got lots of physical exercise. EThese new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. FPeople today probably dont want to live like our ancestors. GModern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization” 【语篇解读】本文是议论文。作者提出了一种观点，认为现代人的生活方式

38、、食物结构 发生了很大变化， 随之而来的是各种 “文明病”的兴起。 要阻止这种现象就要回到石器时代 向古人学习。 26C前面提到“建议人们回到 10, 000 多年前，像当时的人们那样吃东西”，为什么 呢？后续语境给出答案：为了健康。故选 C。 27E上文提到，我们的身体不能应对生活方式的改变，因此带来了一些新的疾病， 现在人们称之为“文明病”，而以前呢？在古代却没有听说过这些疾病。故选 E。 28D此处关联语境为新石器和旧石器时代人们的生活方式，5 个选项中只有 D 与之 匹配：古人也有很多体育锻炼。因此 D 项符合语境。 29B前面为古人的饮食特点，下文为现代人的饮食结构，而此处承上启下，

39、作为过 渡。故选 B 项(但是今天，我们喜欢吃很多这样的东西)。 30F所在部分为全文结论。But 表转折，后面为科学家建议的饮食结构，故空格处应 表达与此相反的内容，故选 F 项(今天的人们可能不想像我们的祖先那样生活)。 第三部分完形填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分) Honesty is always the best policy， especially when it comes to mental health problems.In a TV _31_，one girl gets very real about dealing with anxiety and

43、he said.“But the more I talk about my issue，the more I realize that other people experience _43_ things.So Im trying to express it more.I had a great teacher who told me，Instead of letting anxiety keep you from doing your art， let it be the thing that _44_ your art.” Recently，women all over the worl
