32、-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 enter the country and become established either as free-living populations or under human cultivation-for example, in agriculture, hortic
33、ulture, aquaculture, or as pets. Some cultivated species subsequently escape or are released and also become established as free-living populations. Second, species of either US or foreign origin and already within the United States may spread to new locales. Pathways of both types include intention
34、al as well as unintentional species transfers. Rates of species movement driven by human transformations of natural environments as well as by human mobility-through commerce, tourism, and travel-greatly exceed natural rates by comparison. While geographic distributions of species naturally expand o
35、r 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 mountains. Habitat modification can create conditions favorable to the establishment of non-indigenous species. Soil disturbed in const
36、ruction 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. Human-generated changes in fire frequency, grazing intensity, as well as soil stability and nutrient levels similarly facilitate the spr
37、ead and establishment of non-indigenous plants. When human changes to natural environments span large geographical areas, they effectively create passages for species movement between previously isolated locales. The rapid spread of the Russian wheat aphid to fifteen states in just two years followi
38、ng 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 grasses recommended for planting on the forty million or more acres enrolled in the US Department of Agriculture Conservation Reserve P
39、rogram. A number of factors perplex quantitative evaluation of the relative importance of various entry pathways. Time lags often occur between establishment of non-indigenous species and their detection, and tracing the pathway for a long-established species is difficult. Experts estimate that non-
40、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 inspection, although a major source of information on non-indigenous species pathways, especially for agriculture pests, provides da
41、ta only when such species enter via closely-examined routes. Finally, some comparisons between pathways defy quantitative analysis-for example, which is more “important“: the entry path of one very harmful species or one by which many but less harmful species enter the country? 51 Which of the follo
42、wing statements about species movement is best supported by the passage? （ A） Human factors affect species movement rates more than its long-term amount. （ B） Natural expansions of species account for their slow natural contractions. （ C） Natural environments created by human activities contribute m
43、uch to species movement. （ D） Long-range movement of species depends on the geographic extent of human mobility. 52 According to the passage, the US Department of Agriculture_. （ A） is liable for the fast distribution of the Russian wheat pest （ B） fails to isolate the Russian wheat aphid in limited
44、 locales （ C） provides data about foreign species entering the country by regulated routes （ D） is responsible for introducing harmful plants onto federal lands 53 It can be inferred that all of the following affect the movement of species EXCEPT_. （ A） earth fertility （ B） import restrictions （ C）
45、natural obstacles （ D） fire disasters 54 To determine the entry pathway for a non-native species is LEAST likely to depend on_. （ A） whether the species is considered to be a pest （ B） whether the species enters by a closely-checked route （ C） the rate at which the species extends geographically （ D
46、） the magnitude of the average number of the species 55 Which of the following may best express the chief purpose of the last paragraph? （ A） To explain the difficulties in tracing the pathways for long-established species. （ B） To describe the events usually leading to the detection of a non-indige
47、nous species. （ C） To identify the problems in assessing the weight of entry tracks for foreign species （ D） To discuss the role of time lags and geographic expansion of species in species detection. 55 Dreams have always held a universal fascination. Some primitive societies believe that the soul l
48、eaves the body and visits the scene of the dream. Generally, however, dreams are accepted to be illusions, having much in common with day dreams 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
49、 odd it may be. Although most dreams apparently happen spontaneously, dream activity maybe provoked by external influences. “Suffocation“ dreams 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 deliberately inflicted p
