how are they used? what has been lost? what remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth. wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection, henry david thoreau. he compares todays walden pond with that of thoreaus day. wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. the problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years.can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future? biodiversity, wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. a mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.at the end of the book, wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. if you are to continue to live on the earth, you may as well read and act on the ideas in this book.16what is the purpose of writing the book?ato call people on to protect the environment.bto explore the nature.cto make good

happens with humans also. but i have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. i see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. and i have discovered that it makes them happy.from my wheelchair experience, i see the best in people, but sometimes i feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness i see daily. they dont get to see this soft side of others.often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. but only when we stop pretending were brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness thats in them.last month, when i was driving home on a busy highway, i began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. people behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me. at that moment，i decided to do something i had never done in twentyfour years of driving. i put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.no more angry shouts and no more horns!when i put on my flashlights, i was saying to the other drivers, “i have a problem here. i am weak and doing the best i can.” and everyone understood. several times, i saw drivers who wanted to pass. they couldnt get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. but instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we dont feel that way. but those are few and far between. more often, it would be better if we dont pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that were brave when were scared.21the author has discovered that people will feel happy when

following is the best title of this passage?aa wheelchair experience.bweakness and kindness.cweakness and strength.da driving experience.答案课时作业(四十) .1.d名词辨析。have a good sense of“对有很好的意识”。这里强调的是认识上的问题，所以不能用have a good knowledge of(精通)。2c形容词辨析。“我”很早就学会了这一点，自然是很幸运了。foolish “愚蠢的，傻的”；fundamental “重大的”；grateful “感激的”。3d考查动词。全文讲的是“省钱”，且由前文spend about 10 percent可知应该选save。4b动词短语辨析。build up除了平时我们较熟悉的意思外，还可以表示“逐渐积累(资金等)”。句意为：要确保储蓄而不挥霍才能有效地增长财富。divide up “分开”；keep up “保持，维持”；make up“弥补”。5d考查名词。由下文的young people可知，这里指的是青少年。6a这里指的是赚来的钱。7d语境化选词。grow“增加”。既然花掉了所有的钱，那这些钱就没有了增加的机会。8b动词辨析。realize“意识到”。classify“分类”； research “研究，调查”。9a形容词辨析。由下文的with expenses such as food and rent可以看出，大学的费用应该是比较昂贵的。10c动词短语辨析。hold onto在这里引申为“不花掉，积攒”。句意为：如果你能把少年时期赚的钱积攒一些的话，那么你上大学、买房子就轻松多了。hold out“伸出，坚持，维持”；hold up “阻挡，使停顿”；hold back “退缩”。11a考查形容词。积攒下了部分积蓄，那么今后上大学或者是买房子就比较轻松了，所以选easier。12b语境化选词。很显然，这里是从反面论证学会节约的好处：如果三十多岁没有攒下钱，那你将不得不努力奋斗了，所以要选struggle。survive“生存，生还”；tolerate“容忍，容许”；die“死”，都不符合语境。13d语境化选词。secure“安心的，无虑的”。文章最后一句话it will also _15_you to spend time doing the things that you want to do without worrying.就是很好的暗示。句意为：钱可以帮你过一种安心的生活。happy很显然和上一句many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true.意思相悖；simple“简朴的”；miserable“凄惨的”，都不符合语境。14c考查形容词。这里指的是早期攒下部分钱，在年老的时候可以少工作几年。15b语境化选词。allow“允许，准许”。既然以前有节省下来的钱，那么就不用那么拼命挣钱了，这样就可以随性地做一些自己喜欢的事情了。forbid“禁止”； advise“建议”；request“要求”。.a16d综合判断题。阅读全文可以得到答案为d。a、b和c概括都不全面。17b推理判断题。文章第一段edward wilson的书the future of life不仅让我们对资源的利用有一个很好的了解，而且指出“我们有必要对地球的生物多样性有一个充分的了解”。第三段的biodiversity, wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today.也说明了biodiversity是解决地球面临许多问题的关键。故选b项。18a从文章第三段的a mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load.可知，供给我们食物的物种最重要的有20种。19d从文章第三段的wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.可知，wilson建议保持地球生物多样性的方法之一就是寻求更多的可以利用的物种
