resources.How are they used?What has been lost?What remains and is it able tocontinue with the present speed of use?Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity ofour earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment protection,Henry David Thoreau.Hecompares todays Walden Pond with that of Thoreaus day.Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of thebook.The problem is clear:man has done great damage to his home over the years.Can the earth,with humanhelp,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 ouragricultural 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(负重).Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into more speciesthat could be made use of,which will be a way to reduce the destruction of the natural homes of plants andanimals 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 well read and act on the ideas in this book.24.What does Wilson care most about according to the text?A.The environment for plants.B.The waste of natural resources.C.The biodiversity of our earth.D.The importance of human values.25.How many species are most important to our present food supply?A.Twenty.B.Eighty.C.One hundred.D.Ten thousand.26.What does Wilson suggest in order to keep

report.B.Adescription of natural resources.C.Abook review.D.An introduction to a scientist.CAccording to a recent study in the Journal of Consumer Research,both the size and consumption habits of第 4 页 共 8 页our eating companions can influence our food intake.And contrary to existing research that says you shouldavoid eating with heavier people who order large portions(份),its the beanpoles with big appetites you reallyneed to avoid.To test the effect of social influence on eating habits,the researchers conducted two experiments.In thefirst,95 undergraduate women were individually invited into a lab to ostensibly(表面上)participate in a studyabout movie viewership.Before the film began,each woman was asked to help herself to a snack.An actorhired by the researchers grabbed her food first.In her natural state,the actor weighed 105 pounds.But in halfthe cases she wore a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight to 180 pounds.Both the fat and thin versions of the actor took a large amount of food.The participants followed suit,taking more food than they normally would have.However,they took significantly more when the actor wasthin.For the second test,in one case the thin actor took two pieces of candy from the snack bowls.In the othercase,she took 30 pieces.The results were similar to the first test:the participants followed suit but tooksignificantly more candy when the thin actor took 30 pieces.The tests show that the social environment is extremely influential when were making decisions.If thisfellow participant is going to eat more,so will I.Call it the“Ill have what shes having”effect.However,welladjust the influence.If an overweight person is having a large portion,Ill hold back a bit because I see theresults of his eating habits.But if a thin person eats a lot,Ill follow suit.If he can eat much and keep slim,whycant I?28.What is the recent study mainly about?A.Food safety.B.Eating behavior.C.Consumer needs.D.Movie viewership.29.What does the underlined

participants.B.To test if the participants could recognize her.C.To find out what she would do in the two tests.D.To study why she could keep her weight down.31.On what basis do we“adjust the influence”according to the last paragraph?A.How slim we want to be.B.How we feel about the food.C.How hungry we are.D.How we observe others.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5
