30、分数：30.00)29.PART V READING COMPREHENSION_30.SECTION AIn this section there are several passages followed by ten multiple-choice questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer._(l)Although numbers of animals in a g

31、iven region may fluctuate from year to year, the fluctuations are often temporary and, over long periods, trivial. Scientists have advanced three theories of population control to account for this relative constancy. (2)The first theory attributes a relatively constant population to periodic climati

32、c catastrophes that decimate populations with such frequency as to prevent them from exceeding some particular limit. In the case of small organisms with short life cycles, climatic changes need not be catastrophic: normal seasonal changes in photoperiod (daily amount of sunlight), for example, can

33、govern population growth. This theorythe density-independent viewasserts that climatic factors exert the same regulatory effect on population regardless of the number of individuals in a region. (3)A second theory argues that population growth is primarily density-dependentthat is, the rate of growt

34、h of a population in a region decreases as the number of animals increases. The mechanisms that manage regulation may vary. For example, as numbers increase, the food supply would probably diminish, which would increase mortality. In addition, as Lotka and Volterra have shown, predators can find pre

35、y more easily in high-density populations. Other regulators include physiological control mechanisms: for example, Christian and Davis have demonstrated how the crowding that results from a rise in numbers may bring about hormonal changes in the pituitary (垂体) and adrenal glands (肾上腺) that in turn m

36、ay regulate population by lowering sexual activity and inhibiting sexual maturation. There is evidence that these effects may persist for three generations in the absence of the original provocation. One challenge for density-dependent theorists is to develop models that would allow the precise pred

37、iction of the effects of crowding.(4)A third theory, proposed by Wynne-Edwards and termed epideictic, argues that organisms have evolved a code in the form of social or epideictic behavior displays, such as winter roosting aggregations or group vocalizing; such codes provide organisms with informati

38、on on population size in a region so that they can, if necessary, exercise reproductive restraint. However, Wynne-Edwards theory, linking animal social behavior and population control, has been challenged, with some justification, by several studies.（分数：6.00）(1).Which of the following may be a densi

39、ty-independent factor that affects animal population?（分数：2.00）A.Famine.B.Tornadoes.C.The number of predators.D.The variety of food supply.(2).According to the Wynne-Edwards theory, epideictic behavior displays serve the function of_.（分数：2.00）A.determining roosting aggregationsB.locating foodC.attrac

40、ting predatorsD.regulating sexual activity(3).The challenge posed to the Wynne-Edwards theory by several studies is regarded by the author with _.（分数：2.00）A.complete indifferenceB.qualified acceptanceC.skeptical amusementD.perplexed astonishment(l)Science is committed to the universal. A sign of thi

41、s is that the more successful a science becomes, the broader the agreement about its basic concepts. There is not a separate Chinese or American or Soviet thermodynamics, for example; there is simply thermodynamics. For several decades of the twentieth century there was a Western and a Soviet geneti

42、cs, the latter associated with Lysenkos theory that environmental stress can produce genetic mutations. Today Lysenkos theory is discredited, and there is now only one genetics. (2)As the corollary of science, technology also exhibits the universalizing tendency. This is why the spread of technology

43、 makes the world look ever more homogeneous. Architectural styles, dress styles, musical styleseven eating stylestend increasingly to be world styles. The world looks more homogeneous because it is more homogeneous. Children who grow up in this world therefore experience it as a sameness rather than a diversity, and because their identities are shaped by this sameness, their sense of differences among cultures and individuals diminishes. As buildings become more alike, the people who inhabit the buildings become more alike. The result
