You must choos
26、e the one which you think fits best. The time for this section is 75 minutes. Bquestions 1-5 are based on the following passage./BNon-indigenous (non-native) species of plants and animals arrive by way of two general types of pathways. First, species having origins outside the United States may ente
27、r the country and become established either as free-living populations or under human cultivation-for example, in agriculture, horticulture, aquaculture, or as pets. Some cultivated species subsequently escape or are released and also become established as free-living populations. Second, species of
28、 either US or foreign origin and already within the United States may spread to new locales. Pathways of both types include intentional as well as unintentional species transfers. Rates of species movement driven by human transformations of natural environments as well as by human mobility-through c
29、ommerce, tourism, and travel-greatly exceed natural rates by comparison. While geographic distributions of species naturally expand or contract over historical time intervals (tens to hundreds of years), species-ranges rarely expand thousands of miles or across physical barriers such as oceans or mo
30、untains. Habitat modification can create conditions favorable to the establishment of non-indigenous species. Soil disturbed in construction and agriculture is open for colonization by non-indigenous weeds, which in turn may provide habitats for the non-indigenous insects that evolved with them. Hum
31、an-generated changes in fire frequency, grazing intensity, as well as soil stability and nutrient levels similarly facilitate the spread and establishment of non-indigenous plants. When human changes to natural environments span large geographical areas, they effectively create passages for species
32、movement between previously isolated locales. The rapid spread of the Russian wheat aphid to fifteen states in just two years following its 1986 arrival has been attributed in part to the prevalence of alternative host plants that are available when wheat is not. Many of these are non- indigenous gr
33、asses recommended for planting on the forty million or more acres enrolled in the US Department of Agriculture Conservation Reserve Program. A number of factors perplex quantitative evaluation of the relative importance of various entry pathways. Time lags often occur between establishment of non-in
34、digenous species and their detection, and tracing the pathway for a long-established species is difficult. Experts estimate that non-indigenous weeds are usually detected only after having been in the country for thirty years or having spread to at least ten thousand acres. In addition, federal port
35、 inspection, although a major source of information on non-indigenous species pathways, especially for agriculture pests, provides data only when such species enter via closely-examined routes. Finally, some comparisons between pathways defy quantitative analysis-for example, which is more “importan
36、t“: the entry path of one very harmful species or one by which many but less harmful species enter the country? （分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following statements about species movement is best supported by the passage?（分数：2.00）A.Human factors affect species movement rates more than its long-term amoun
37、t.B.Natural expansions of species account for their slow natural contractions.C.Natural environments created by human activities contribute much to species movement.D.Long-range movement of species depends on the geographic extent of human mobility.(2).According to the passage, the US Department of

39、 be inferred that all of the following affect the movement of species EXCEPT_.（分数：2.00）A.earth fertilityB.import restrictionsC.natural obstaclesD.fire disasters(4).To determine the entry pathway for a non-native species is LEAST likely to depend on_.（分数：2.00）A.whether the species is considered to be
40、 a pestB.whether the species enters by a closely-checked routeC.the rate at which the species extends geographicallyD.the magnitude of the average number of the species(5).Which of the following may best express the chief purpose of the last paragraph?（分数：2.00）A.To explain the difficulties in tracin
41、g the pathways for long-established species.B.To describe the events usually leading to the detection of a non-indigenous species.C.To identify the problems in assessing the weight of entry tracks for foreign speciesD.To discuss the role of time lags and geographic expansion of species in species de
42、tection.Questions 6-10 are based on the following passage. Dreams have always held a universal fascination. Some primitive societies believe that the soul leaves the body and visits the scene of the dream. Generally, however, dreams are accepted to be illusions, having much in common with day dreams
43、the fantasies of our waking life. When dreaming, however, one tends to believe fully in the reality of the dream world, however inconsistent, illogical and odd it may be. Although most dreams apparently happen spontaneously, dream activity maybe provoked by external influences. “Suffocation“ dreams
44、are connected with the breathing difficulties of a heavy cold, for instance. Internal disorders such as indigestion can cause vivid dreams, and dreams of racing fire-engines may be caused by the ringing of an alarm bell. Experiments have been carried out to investigate the connection between deliber
45、ately inflicted pain and dreaming. For example, a sleeper pricked with a pin perhaps dreams of fighing a battle and receiving a severe sword wounDAlthough the dream is stimulated by the physical discomfort, the actual events of the dream depend on the associations of the discomfort in the mind of th
46、e sleeper. A dreamers eyes often move rapidly from side to side. Since people born blind do not dream visually and do not manifest this eye activity, it is thought that the dreamer may be scanning the scene depicted in his dream. A certain amount of dreaming seems to be a human requirement-if a slee
47、per is roused every time his eyes begin to move fast, effectively depriving him of his dreams, he will make more eye movements the following night. People differ greatly in their claims to dreaming. Some say they dream every night, others only very occasionally, individual differences probably exist
48、, but some people immediately forget dreams and others have good recall. Superstition and magical practices thrive on the supposed power of dreams to foretell the future. Instances of dreams which have later turned out to be prophetic have often been recorded, some by men of the highest intellectual
49、 integrity. Although it is better to keep an open mind on the subject, it is true that the alleged power of dreams to predict future events still remains unproveDEveryone knows that a sleeping dog often behaves as though he were dreaming, but it is impossible to tell what his whines and twitches really mean. By analogy with human experience, however, it is reasonable to suppose that at least the higher animals are capable
