Now let’s look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance．Modern scientists believe that humankind，like other animals，evolved(進(jìn)化)through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably all earlier species of the primate(monkey ,ape)group．Despite this similarity with other creatures，however ,the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way．

In other species evolution has led to specialization．both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure．For example．the giraffe is much adapted to feeding on treetops，but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs(灌木)．Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground．Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals．The same is true for countless other species．

For humankind it is opposite．Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability．Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything．Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space．No natural competitor offers great resistance，and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled．

Said another way , we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance．The result is the rapidly increasing world population，frequently referred to as the population explosion．Further ,to support our growing population，natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations，agriculture，and other human supporting activities．

From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution              .

A．humankind is very important to earlier species，such as the primate group

B．human beings are limited by the environment while animals are not

C．human beings become more and more different from each other

D．humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability

According to the passage，primate includes such animals as

A．monkeys and anteaters         B．tigers and apes

C．a(chǎn)pes and monkeys             D．monkeys and giraffes

According to the passage，evolution has made it possible for humans to

A．increase the population         B．resist natural offers

C．go to the moon                D．cure all diseases

Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space．

According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environmental

resistance has resulted in               

A．the population explosion            B．the destruction of human habitations

C．the growth of natural ecosystem      D．the specialization of humans

Vicious(劇烈的)and Dangerous Sports Should be Banned by Law

When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungry lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.

It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.

Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally – admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.

1.It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion of nowadays’ human beings is

A. not very high.         B.  high.  C.  contemptuous.      D.  critical.

2.The main idea of this passage is

B. people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence.

3.That the author mentions the old Romans is

A. To compare the old Romans with today’s people.  B. to give an example.

C. to show human beings in the past know nothing better.

D. to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty.

4. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?

A.  Three.     B.  Five.    C.  Six.     D.  Seven.

5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is

A. that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve ourselves.

B. that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.

C. that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.

D. to show law is the main instrument of social change.

What does fizz (氣泡) taste like? In Bubbly (多泡的)drinks such as sodas, tiny bubbles give the drink a lift--- and have a distinct taste, In a new study on mice, scientists have connected that fizzy-taste feeling to the ability to taste sourness, such as that of oranges or vinegar.
Scientists first thought the taste of bubbles came from the bubbles bursting on the tongue, but now ate starting to think differently. Charles Zuker, of Columbia University, and his team studied the nervous system of mice to understand how the tongue tastes carbon dioxide, which is the gas that makes up the bubbles.
Animals, including human beings, are able to detect different tastes by using taste buds(味蕾) which pick up tastes in the mouth, and then send them to the brain. In the experiment, different groups of mice were genetically engineered to be missing one of the senses involved in taste. “Genetically engineered” means the researchers were able to turn off the switches for certain senses by changing the genes responsible for taste. The mice in one group could not taste sweet; another, sour; the third, bitter, and the fourth, salt. When the scientists gave carbon dioxide to the mice, the nervous systems of all the mice responded to the gas, except those of the mice that could not taste sour.
This shows that the taste of the bubbles must be sour, and that by turning off the ability of the mice to taste sour, the scientists also turned off their ability to taste carbon dioxide. When they studied the cells that detect sourness, the researchers found a protein attached to the cells that is important to the process of tasting carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide comes into contact with this protein, the protein knocks off particles called protons. These protons(質(zhì)子), in turn, travel to the brain, which says ,” Hey! That’s a taste!”
It may seem like a lot of work to get from a can of soda to a taste, but the science of the senses is anything but simple, “  Taste is a challenging system to study,” one researcher says.
【小題1】 What is the most important function of the bubbles?

A．To look interesting . B．To make drinks taste good.
C．To make drinks funny. D．To produce a lot of fizz.
【小題2】From the experiment the researchers learned that______.
A．sourness has nothing to do with the taste of bubbles.
B．there is a connection between sourness and bubbles.
C．the taste of bubbles is better if it’s less sour.
D．most mice cannot taste carbon dioxide.
【小題3】 It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．the taste of bubbles is produced by the bubbles bursting on the tongue.
B．the nervous systems of mice show how the tongue tastes carbon dioxide.
C．taste seems simple but is very complex to research.
D．nerve cells sending signals to the brain is the first step in tasting something.
【小題4】 Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Nervous Systems Understand How the Tongue Tastes.
B．The Process of Taste
C．The taste of Bubbles.
D．Different Animals Detect Different Tastes.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2013-2014學(xué)年廣東省“十二校”高三第二次聯(lián)考英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：書面表達(dá)

閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。

Many students fail to perform well in an exam not because they lack ability, but because of the unique pressure of the exam room—the tense atmosphere, the ticking clock on the wall, the teacher walking around, and the thought that their future will be decided by the exam.

    It’s not just students who will face pressure. Human beings are competitive animals and we decide to evaluate each other, whether in exams, in job interviews or even on romantic dates, so all of us occasionally get nervous. Removing pressure from life is an impossible dream.

    However, there are some ways which can help reduce our pressure. It turns out that we are far more likely to overcome the pressure when we are as familiar as possible with the situation we are about to face. Of course, even when we are well-prepared, we may still feel nervous, but at least we will be more equipped to deal with our nervousness than if we have failed to prepare. Furthermore, we may also benefit from reminding ourselves that the big moment is not that big after all from a different perspective. Even a huge exam is not as important as a loving family, or good health.

【寫作內(nèi)容】

 （2）作為高三的學(xué)生，你通常面臨哪些壓力？

  (3) 你在生活和學(xué)習(xí)中應(yīng)對(duì)壓力的措施。

【寫作要求】

1、在作文中可以使用自己親身的經(jīng)歷或虛構(gòu)的故事，也可以參照閱讀材料的內(nèi)容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子；

2、作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱。
