iǎn)好是好，不過(guò)沒(méi)有解釋為什么只有特定的外來(lái)物種才具有入侵性。該段末句指出Dr.Cappuccino和Dr.Arnason的猜測(cè)：這可能是因?yàn)橥辽灵L(zhǎng)的掠食者對(duì)外來(lái)物種所具有的防御機(jī)制有時(shí)產(chǎn)生“預(yù)適應(yīng)”，有時(shí)又不產(chǎn)生。顯然，先前假設(shè)存在的問(wèn)題就是這兩個(gè)人研究的內(nèi)容，故[B]為答案。從該段可知，兩種假設(shè)都提及predators，排除[A]。提到pre-adapted的是Dr.Cappuccino和Dr.Arnason，[D]屬于張冠李戴，排除；而[C]則為該先前假設(shè)的部分內(nèi)容，但無(wú)法得知是否為兩種假設(shè)的區(qū)別所在，排除。4、WhichofthefollowingisTRUEofchemicalweaponsofinvasivespecies?A、Itisdifficulttofindthechemicalweaponsofinvasivespecies.B、Themostprominentchemicalweaponsofinvadersexplaintheirsuccess.C、Thelesschemicalweaponsinvadershave,themorebenigntheybecome.D、Mostnativeplantsdon’thavethesamechemicalweaponsofaliens.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：B知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干中的chemicalweapons定位至第五段。第二句指出：他們就到圖書(shū)館查詢這些植物的化學(xué)性質(zhì)……，結(jié)合末句的“植物學(xué)家對(duì)哪些化合物有哪些作用都了如指掌，因此這樣對(duì)化學(xué)物質(zhì)進(jìn)行分類并不太難”可判斷[A]不符合文意。第六段第二句提到：他們推斷，具有高度入侵性的物種擁有本土植物所缺少的“化學(xué)武器”，對(duì)這種化學(xué)武器，害蟲(chóng)、寄生蟲(chóng)及其他植物都不能產(chǎn)生任何抵抗力。[D]中的aliens和highlyinvasivespecies概念不同，無(wú)法得出該項(xiàng)結(jié)論，排除。末句指出：入侵性較弱的外來(lái)物種所具有的“武器庫(kù)”可能至少同樣存在于某些本土物種。這里指的不是chemicalweapons的數(shù)量多少，而是本地物種和外來(lái)物種是否有同樣的武器庫(kù)影響入侵性，排除[C]；從第六段首句“然后，為了弄清外來(lái)物種的成功入侵是否得益于超級(jí)武器，這兩位研究人員將已知外來(lái)植物的化學(xué)武器庫(kù)同北美土生土長(zhǎng)的植物的化學(xué)武器庫(kù)進(jìn)行了比較?！焙偷谄叨问拙洹安聹y(cè)因而得到了證實(shí)。”可知[B]符合文意，故為答案。5、Accordingtothetext,thesuccessofinvasionliesinthefactthatthenativeplantsA、areunawareoftheinvasionofalienspecies.B、containmorepoisonouschemicals.C、aredefeatedinplantwarfare.D、maydieoutintheirownhabitats.標(biāo)準(zhǔn)答案：A知識(shí)點(diǎn)解析：細(xì)節(jié)題。由題干中的success定位至末段，最后兩句指出外來(lái)植物成功入侵的原因：它不在于一般意義上所認(rèn)為的那樣具有毒性更強(qiáng)的化學(xué)物質(zhì)，而是因?yàn)楸镜芈邮痴吒緵](méi)有察覺(jué)它們的到來(lái)。[A]符合原文，故為答案；[B]是對(duì)chemicalscobcernedaremoretoxicinanygeneralsense的曲解，這里說(shuō)的是一般人認(rèn)為“外來(lái)物種攜帶的化學(xué)物質(zhì)毒性強(qiáng)”，不是nativeplants，排除；[C]和[D]原文沒(méi)有提及，為干擾項(xiàng)。ItislunehtimeattheChateaudeBellerive,PrineeSadruddinAgaKhan'shomeonLakeGeneva.Hisguestsarebeingservedtheelegantfoodassociatedwiththeprince'skitchen.ButtheprinceandhiswifeCatherinearecontenttohaveadishofbrownriceandanaccompanyingsalad.Canitbethattheyarenothungry.,oristhepricemakingagesture:thataithoughheisarichmanhehashumbletastes?Nooneissopoliteastoask,buttheguestsmaytalkaboutitlater.Sadruddinwasdisappointedthathisfatherdidnotnamehimasthenextleader.Butfatherapparentlybelievedthathissonlivedonlyforpleasure.Sadruddin'smuchpublicizedlifewithhisfirstwifeNina,amodel,mayhavemadeitseemso."Mythsandlabelsbecomeattachedtopeople,"heremarkedlater,"givingthemareputationthatdoesnotalwayscorrespondtoreality."ItcouldbethathisfatherhadmixedupSadruddinwithhishalfbrotherAly,whowasbrieflymarriedtoRitaHayworth,aHollywoodstar,andwasindeedatearaway.Intheevent,whentheAgaKhandiedin1957,thecrown,andthetitleAgaKhanIV,wenttoSadruddin'snephew,thepresentholder.Sadruddinwasthen24.Atthatagedisappointmentscanusuallybeovercome,particularlyif,liketheprince,youhaveadvantages.Hehadhadanelitisteducation,atLeRosayinSwitzerlandandHarvard.Hespokeseverallanguages,includingFrenchfromhismother,aParisian,andPersianandEnglishfromhisfather.Theamountofhispersona]fortunewasunknownbutitwascertainlyadequate.Withtheseassetstosustainhim,Sadruddindiscoveredwhatwastobehislife'swork,toimprovethelotoftheworld'srefugees.LikemanypeoplewhocametodogoodworkfortheUnitedNations,Sadruddindriftedintotheorganization,ratherthansettingouttomakeithiscareer.Asastudenthestartedanartcollectionthateventuallybecameoneofthefinestinprivatehands.HebecameconcernedaboutthefateofNubianstatuesthreatenedbytheconstructionoftheAswanHighDaminEgypt,andin1958wastakenonasanadviserbyUNESCO,theUN'sculturalbranch.HediscoveredthatthedamnotonlythreatenedNubianstatuesbutthatsome100,000Nubianpeoplewerebeingmovedfromtheirtraditionalhomes.Peoplewereclearlymoreimportantthatstatues,howeverprecious.ThoseNubianswereeventuallyresettledinEgypt,albeitininferiorterritory.In1959SadruddinbecameanassistanttotheUnitedNationsHighCommissionerforRefugees,andappliedtothejobthecodeofmoralityandresponsibilityofhisfaith.Hewasmadedeputyhighcommissionerin1962andin1965attheageof32wasappointedtothetopjob.Hewasgoodatgettingrichcountriesbegenerous.Perhapsonlyarichmancanbesuccessfulbeggar.TheelderGeorgeBushwasafriend:theyplayedtennistogether.MrBushfoundtheurbaneEuropeananagreeablecontrasttohisTexascircle.Sadruddinsteppeddownafter12years,thelongestanyrefugeechiefhasheldthejob.HeseemedthefavoritetobecometheN'ssecretarygeneraLin1981,buttheSovietUnionvetoedhiscandidature,claiminghewastoopro-western,andvetoedhisagainin1991.AroundthattimestoriescirculatethattheprincewasasecretagentfortheBritish,usinghisjobasacoverfortheintelligencegathering.Itwasalmostcertainlynonsense,buttheRussiansmayhavebelievedit.Sadruddininsistedthathehadequalsympathieswitheasternandwesternpeoples.Hisdescriptionofhimselfas"acitizenoftheworld"wasafairone.Heborethissecondbigdisappointmentwastherealizationofhowlittlehadbeendonetortheworld'spoor.Inaspeechnotlongagohesaidthatin80countri
