up a large amount of energy，and can result in injury or even death.most animals rely on various threats，either through sounds or smells.the songs of birds，the drumming of woodpeckers and the loud calls of monkeys are all warnings that carry for long distances，advertising to possible invaders that someone elses territory is being approached.many animals rely on smells to mark their territories or leaving droppings around the territories.other animals will be warned off the territory without ever meeting with the territorys defender.sometimes，these warnings may be ignored，and an invader may move accidentally into a neighboring territory，or two animals may meet near the border of their nearby territories.when the two animals meet，they will generally threaten each other with visual (视觉的) displays.these displays will often exaggerate an animals size by putting up feathers or fur，or will show off the animals weapons.the animals may go through all the behavior of fighting without ever actually touching each other.the displays are generally performed best near the center of an animals territory，where it is more likely to attack an invader and where retreating becomes more of a choice.actual fighting usually only happens in overcrowded conditions，when resources are not enough.serious injury can result，and old or sick animals may die，leading to a more balanced population size.under most natural conditions，territoriality is an effective way of maintaining a healthy population.the study of social behaviors such as territoriality in animals may also help us to understand human society.1what topic is the passage mainly involved in?awhat animals territory is usually like.bhow animals deal with different threats.chow animals defend their territory.dwhere animal fights

consequenceother countries might learn from its mistakes.for thousands of years，polynesian people lived in the remote island of nauru，far from western civilization.the first european to arrive was john fearn in 1798.he was the british captain of the hunter, a whaling ship.he called the island pleasant island.however, because it was very remote, nauru had little communication with europeans at first.the whaling ships and other traders began to visit，bringing guns and alcohol.these elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.a tenyear civil war started，which reduced the population from 1，400 to 900.naurus real troubles began in 1899 when a british mining company discovered phosphate(磷酸盐)on the island.in fact，it found that the island of nauru was nearly all phosphate，which was a very important fertilizer for farming.the company began mining the phosphate.a phosphate mine was not a hole in the ground；it was a strip mine.when a company stripmined，it removed the top layer of soil.then it took away the material it wanted.strip mining totally destroyed the land.gradually, the lovely island of nauru started to look like the moon.in 1968，nauru became one of the richest countries in the world.every year the government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.in addition，they used millions more dollars for personal expenses.soon people realized that they had a terrible problemtheir phosphate was running out.ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing.by 2000，nauru was financially ruined.experts say that it would take approximately$433，600，000 and more than 20 years to repair the island.this will probably never happen.1what might be the authors purpose in writing the text?ato seek help for naurus problems.bto give a warning to other countries.cto show the importance of money.dto tell a heartbreaking story of a war.2what was nauru like before the europeans came?arich and powerful.bmodern and open.cpeaceful and attractive.dgreedy and aggressive.3the ecological disaster in nauru resulted from_asoil pollutionbphosphate overminingcfarming activitydwhale hunting4which of the following was a cause of naurus financial problem?aits leaders misus
