强化练(八)　体裁专练(1)(分值：30分) A (2024·江苏淮安期中)Christian Liden decided that he would not pick out a ring from a jeweler's like most other people.He hatched an ambitious plan to create a personalized ring for his future wife，Desirae Clovis.Therefore，he made up his mind to go into the wild to find his own materials：the diamond，the gold and the accompanying jewels. So，in May，Liden told Clovis that he and Josh Tucker，his best friend，were heading out on a camp to Yellowstone.Instead，he and Tucker made for Crater of Diamonds State Park，Arkansas，which is set on a volcanic crater.The park is one of the few places in the world where the public is welcome to search for real diamonds and can keep them for free.Since its opening，only 1 in 10，000 park visitors is lucky enough to find a diamond that weighs a carat or more.Still，he was up for the challenge. On their way，Liden and Tucker stopped in Helena，Montana，to mine for accompanying jewels to add to the diamond they hoped to score.In Arkansas，the pair paid $10 each to get into the park and spent almost three days searching through the volcanic dirt. On the third morning，Liden suddenly spotted something reflecting light in the sands.“I was so excited that I started shaking，” he said.“It was oily and shiny，and we both just knew it was a diamond.” It was confirmed that Liden had found a 2.2­carat yellow diamond.Similarly­sized diamonds go for $2，500 to $20，000 per carat，depending on quality，color and cut.But the value wasn't what was important to Liden.

This has been me for the past few months.Earlier this year，I took a long hard look at my sources of income and decided to focus on the ones that provided the most money.I'm lucky enough to have had a good financial year.But despite doing the right thing，it has used up my energy and I've worked out why. Years ago，I realized that I disliked hard work.Don't get me wrong.I don't mind working hard，but hard work isn't for me.What's the difference？For a start，hard work feels as if it never really gets going.You can push hard work and it might move a little but there's no celebratory moment when it gets done.Most importantly，hard work lacks joy.Working hard on a project you feel excited and moved by can be tiring and difficult，but it's ultimately joyful and that is what I've been missing. So I asked myself what would feel scary but joyful and this is the answer.I'm going to write a romance.Of course，being a middle­aged journalist who suddenly decides to write a book is nothing novel.However，for me，it hits the sweet spot between being joyful enough to make me want to do it and scary enough to make me feel it's worthwhile. As with all good middle­aged changes，this one hasn't really been thought through.I know little about writing fiction and even less about what makes a good book.I have the thinnest of ideas for a plot but，for the first time in a while，I'm excited.I will be another Jane Austen with my fantasies which give me life.So now，I have to go and sharpen my pencil. 5．What can best describe the author's current feeling about life?

Clements was challenged by another pioneer ecologist，Henry Gleason，who took the opposite view.Gleason viewed the community as largely a group of species with similar tolerances to the stresses given by climate and other factors typical of the region.Gleason thought chance played a big role in where species lived.His concept suggests that nature is not highly integrated.Each species is responding individually to its surroundings.Gleason thought things could change in different ways，depending upon local conditions. Who was right？It now appears that Gleason was more accurate than Clements.The ecological community is mostly a random collection of species with similar responses to a particular climate.Ash trees are found in association with cottonwood trees，because both can survive well on floodplains and the competition between them is not so strong that only one can survive. This is not to say that precise harmonies are not present within communities.Most flowering plants rely on pollinators(传粉者).But if we see a precise balance of nature，it is largely a product of our perception，due to the false belief that nature，especially a complex system like a forest，seems so unchanging from one day to the next. 9．In the early 20th century，ecologists commonly claimed that ． A.each species plays a specific role in the community B.new species need to be added as communities develop C.maintaining precise balance in community is challenging D．it is important to protect communities by removing certain species 10．According to Gleason，what influences where species live? A．How individualistic the species is. B．Their ability to tolerate the stresses there. C．The number of similar species present. D．Their ways to integrate with other species. 11．Why does the author mention two kinds of trees in Paragraph 3? A.To show greater species variety in floodplains. B．To provide evidence to support Clements' theory. C．To give an example of species that prefer to live on floodplains. D.To support the current view on how ecological communities develop. 12．What does the underlined word “perception” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Culture. B．Environment. C．Understanding. D．Education. [语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了以前和现在的科学家对于生态群落的不同看法，比较了二者的区别，指出了其中的错误。 9．A　[解析]细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Ecologists in the early twentieth century ...had a specific role to play ...”可知，20世纪早期的生态学家普遍认为每个物种在群落中扮演着特定的角色。故选A。 10．B　[解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Gleason viewed the community ...typical of the region.”可知，根据Gleason的说法，抗压能力影响了物种的生存。故选B。 11．D　[解析]推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知，作者提到两种树是为了支持当前关于生态群落如何发展的观点。故选D。 12．C　[解析]词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“due to the false belief that nature，especially ...to the next”可知，我们认为自然，尤其是像森林这样的复杂系统，似乎是一成不变的，这属于我们对自然的错误认知。由此猜测画线词的意思是“理解”。故选C。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
