Dark Sky Parks around the World
Warrumbungle National Park
Situated in the central west slopes of New South Wales is Australia’s only dark sky park, Warrumbungle. The park has served as a dark sky park since July 2016. Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude make it a natural, educational, and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth. Tourists can use Australia’s largest optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras(极光)，the Milky Way, and faint shooting stars.
Sark
Sark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK. It was the World’s First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its historical and cultural blend attracts over 40,000 tourists annually. With no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island, there is an exceptional view of the dark skies. A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.
Pic du Midi de Bigorre
Pic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the second largest dark sky park in the world. The park covers 3.112 square kilometers spread across the Pyrenees National Park and UNESCO’s World Heritage site, Pyrenees-Mont Perdu. The park attracts over one hundred star watchers every year. The Observatory Midi-Pyrenees, which was built in 1870, is one of the world’s highest museums at a height of 2,877 meters above sea level.
Ramon Crater/Makhtesh Ramon
Ramon Crater is a unique 1,100-square-kilometer nature reserve located in the Negev Desert in Israel. In 2017, the Ramon Crater became the first designated dark sky park in the Middle East. Its location, rough climate, and forbidding landscape that are characteristic of the Negev have largely defeated historical attempts for human settlement, making it a great place to view the night skies. Stargazers usually camp in the desert to have an uninterrupted view of the stars, planets, and the Milky Way.

I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.
I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote: "The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.
4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He often helped his brother with housework. B. He studied hard for his family.
C. He put his own needs above others’. D. He was concerned about his family.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “hard knocks” in Paragraph 2?
A. truth. B. hardships. C. love. D. fortune.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author loved kids.
B. The author often fed his baby.
C. The author realized the importance of happiness.
D. When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.
7. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Loving Others , a Way to Happiness B. The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets.
C. Help Others , Help Oneself D. Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者由一个自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的人，也明白了“爱他人即幸福”的道理。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.”（我十几岁的时候很自私。我通常把时间花在考虑自己和照顾自己的需求上。在我哥哥去上大学之前，我让他做家里的大部分家务。）由此判断出，他把自己的需要看得比别人的重要。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me”（很快我发现自己失业了，债台高筑，还有一个即将出生的孩子。我发现生活是不会同情被宠坏的人的。事实上，我所经历的所有挣扎都是在慢慢地把自私赶出我的身体）由此可知，作者不知道现实会给作者自私的灵魂带来怎样的苦难。由此判断出划线词的意思是“苦难”。故选B项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.”（当我喂它时候，我往下看它，看到了它那天真、信任的大眼睛。我微笑着和他说话。然后他笑了，我感到我的心在成长，爱在膨胀。我感到如此的平静和快乐。那一刻，我恍然大悟:只有用爱培养我们的心灵，我们才能找到幸福。）由此判断出，在照顾他的孩子时，作者得到了灵感。故选D项。
7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.”（你能接纳更多的人，你的心就变得越宽广。你得到的爱越多，你给予的爱就越多。所以，继续去爱，继续去生活，继续去关心他人。无论是今天还是明天，永远保持你的心在成长。）以及结合文章主要讲了作者由一个自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的人，也明白了“爱他人即幸福”的道理。所以短文的最佳标题为“爱他人即幸福”。故选A项。
C
Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores—on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that red test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.
8. The Flynn effect is ________.
A. not connected to our experiences
B. unknown in some parts of the world
C. an increase in IQ test scores over time
D. used to measure people's intelligence
9. According to the article, the change in teaching styles includes ________.
A. helping students improve test scores
B. exposing students to many tests
C. leading students to memorize information
D. encouraging students to find out things themselves
10. Why does the author mention computer games?
A. To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.
B. To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.
C. To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.
D. To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.
11. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?
A. People today are taking easier tests.
B. People today have more visual intelligence.
C. People today have fewer problems to solve.
D. People today are more intelligent in every way.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章提到了一个弗林效应的问题，即年轻的一代智商测试平钧高于上一代。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。文章第一段“Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores—on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”,”（在上个世纪的过程中，参加过智商测试的人的分数越来越高——平均每过十年就提高三分。这种进步被称为“弗林效应”。）可知，“弗林效应”指代智商测试分数的不断提高。C项“随着时间的推移，智商测试分数提高”符合题意。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。第三段“Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering themselves rather than just memorizing information.”（另一个可能的解释是教育方式的改变，教师鼓励孩子们通过自己发现而不仅仅是记忆信息来学习。）可知，新的教育方式是要孩子自己去发现，而不是只记忆信息。D项“鼓励学生们自己去发现事情”正确。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test.”（据弗林说，随着我们生活中科技含量的增加，这种视觉智能也在提高。每次你玩电脑游戏或弄清楚如何为新手机编程时，你在锻炼思维和解决问题的能力，帮助你在一次智力测试中取得好成绩。）可知，作者认为玩电脑游戏会帮助人们在智力测试中得高分，从而增强视觉智能的作用，作者提到电脑游戏目的在于C项“举例说明技术提高了我们的视觉智能”正确。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。最后一段“According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases.”（弗林说，随着我们生活中科技含量的增加，这种视觉智能会得到提高。）可知，如今人们会有更多的视觉智能。故选B项。
D
How does an ecosystem (生态系统) work? What makes the populations of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.
With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator (掠食动物) always eats huge numbers of a single prey (猎物) , the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction (灭绝) of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point (临界点) , it is remarkably difficult for them to return.
12. A strong link is found between two species when a predator ______.
A. has a wide food choice B. can easily find new prey
C. sticks to one prey species D. can quickly move to another place
13. What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?
A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.
B. The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.
C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.
D. The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?
A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.
B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.
C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.
D. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.
15. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?
A. By getting illegal practices under control.
B. By stopping us from killing large predators.
C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.
D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普类的说明文。为了弄清楚生态系统的运转，科学家建立了数学模型，通过模型发现不同层次的物种之间的依存关系，而人类作为最高层的掠食动物，其一举一动都会影响整个生态系统。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“When a predator always eats huge numbers of a single prey, the two species are strongly linked…”可知，当掠食动物总是吃大量的单猎物时，这两种动物是紧密联系在一起的，stick to和always eat 是近义词，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三 段“Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.…predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.”可知，数学模型还揭示了食物网可能是不稳定的，在这种情况下，顶级捕食者的微小变化会对整个生态系统产生重大影响。顶端掠食动物对其他物种的数量有着惊人的控制力，包括它们没有直接攻击的物种。由此可知，如果食物网中顶级捕食者的数量大幅下降其他物种的种群将经历意想不到的变化。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.”可知，未经计划的人类活动已经证明顶端掠食动物能自上而下地控制其他物种，然后说到人类对海洋和陆地的顶端掠食动物的捕杀，最后说，此行为已经大大影响了生态平衡。由此可知，人为的不受控制的行为会扰乱生态平衡，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据本段中“Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.”可知，科学家说，预防是关键，因为一旦生态系统超过临界点，它们就很难恢复。由此判断出，预警系统通过表明采取预防措施的迫切需要帮助我们维持生态平衡。故选D项。

Dark Sky Parks around the World
Warrumbungle National Park
Situated in the central west slopes of New South Wales is Australia’s only dark sky park, Warrumbungle. The park has served as a dark sky park since July 2016. Its crystal-clear night skies and high altitude make it a natural, educational, and astronomical heritage site in the southern half of the earth. Tourists can use Australia’s largest optical telescope within the park boundaries to view the auroras(极光)，the Milky Way, and faint shooting stars.
Sark
Sark is a Channel Island near the coast of Normandy under the protection of the UK. It was the World’s First Dark Sky Island set up in January 2011. Its historical and cultural blend attracts over 40,000 tourists annually. With no motor vehicles and public lighting on the island, there is an exceptional view of the dark skies. A rich Milky Way is visible in the dark night skies from the shores of the island.
Pic du Midi de Bigorre
Pic du Midi de Bigorre in France was designated as a dark sky park in December 2013 making it the second largest dark sky park in the world. The park covers 3.112 square kilometers spread across the Pyrenees National Park and UNESCO’s World Heritage site, Pyrenees-Mont Perdu. The park attracts over one hundred star watchers every year. The Observatory Midi-Pyrenees, which was built in 1870, is one of the world’s highest museums at a height of 2,877 meters above sea level.

B
I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.
I let my Mom and Dad worry about our bills and problems while I read books, played, and lost myself in my own imagination. This didn’t change even when I went to college either. I studied hard but only to make my own life better. Even when I started to explore my faith and spirituality, it was only to increase my own happiness.
I married after graduation and decided to start a family. Of course, I had no idea what hard knocks reality had in store for my selfish soul. Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me.
Still, I didn’t give up on happiness. I knew that there must be a way to find it. I finally realized, however, that it had to include more than just my own needs, wants, and desires. The answer began to make itself clear one night shortly after my baby boy was born. I got a bottle and held him in my arms. As I was feeding him I looked down and saw his big, innocent, trusting eyes. I smiled and talked to him. Then he smiled and I could feel my heart growing, expanding with love. I felt such peace and joy. At that moment I had a hint of the truth: it is by growing our hearts with love that we find our happiness.
Carolyn Arends wrote: "The more people you let into your heart, the bigger your heart gets.The more love you get, the more love you have to give. It just keeps growing." So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always.
4. What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?
A. He often helped his brother with housework. B. He studied hard for his family.
C. He put his own needs above others’. D. He was concerned about his family.
5. Which of the following can replace the underlined words “hard knocks” in Paragraph 2?
A. truth. B. hardships. C. love. D. fortune.
6. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The author loved kids.
B. The author often fed his baby.
C. The author realized the importance of happiness.
D. When caring for his baby, the author got inspired.
7. Which can be the best title of the passage?
A. Loving Others , a Way to Happiness B. The Elder One Grows, the More He Gets.
C. Help Others , Help Oneself D. Keep Growing to Live a Happy Life
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. D 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文，作者由一个自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的人，也明白了“爱他人即幸福”的道理。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“I was selfish as a teenager. I usually spent my time thinking about myself and taking care of my own needs. I let my older brother do most of the work around the house until he left for college.”（我十几岁的时候很自私。我通常把时间花在考虑自己和照顾自己的需求上。在我哥哥去上大学之前，我让他做家里的大部分家务。）由此判断出，他把自己的需要看得比别人的重要。故选C项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。根据下文“Soon I found myself unemployed, deeply in debt, and with a new baby on the way. I found out that life has little sympathy for spoiled people. In fact, all of the struggles I was going through were beating the selfishness slowly out of me”（很快我发现自己失业了，债台高筑，还有一个即将出生的孩子。我发现生活是不会同情被宠坏的人的。事实上，我所经历的所有挣扎都是在慢慢地把自私赶出我的身体）由此可知，作者不知道现实会给作者自私的灵魂带来怎样的苦难。由此判断出划线词的意思是“苦难”。故选B项。
【6题详解】

Do you think you're smarter than your parents and grandparents? According to James Flynn, a professor at a New Zealand university, you are! Over the course of the last century, people who have taken IQ tests have gotten increasingly better scores—on average, three points better for every decade that has passed. This improvement is known as “the Flynn effect”, and scientists want to know what is behind it.
IQ tests and other similar tests are designed to measure general intelligence rather than knowledge. Flynn knew that intelligence is partly inherited from our parents and partly the and experiences, but the improvement in test scores was to be explained by heredity. So what was happening in the 20th century that was helping people achieve higher scores on intelligence tests?
Scientists have proposed several explanations for the Flynn effect. Some suggest that red test scores simply reflect an increased exposure to tests in general. Because we take so many tests, we learn test-taking techniques that help us perform better on any test. Others have pointed to better nutrition since it results in babies being born larger, with more brain development than in the past. Another possible explanation is a change in educational styles, with teachers encouraging children to learn by discovering themselves rather than just memorizing information. This could prepare people to do the kind of problem solving that intelligence tests require.
Flynn limited the possible explanations when he looked carefully at the test data and discovered that the improvement in scores was only on certain parts of the IQ test. Test-takers didn't do better on the arithmetic or vocabulary sections of the test; they did better on sections that required a special kind of reasoning and problem solving. For example, one part of the test shows a set of abstract shapes, and test-takers must look for patterns and connections between them and decide which shape should be added to the set. According to Flynn, this visual intelligence improves as the amount of technology in our lives increases. Every time you play a computer game or figure out how to program new cell phone, you are exercising exactly the kind of thinking and problem solving that helps you do well on one kind of intelligence test. So are you really smarter than your parents? In one very specific way, you may be.
8. The Flynn effect is ________.
A. not connected to our experiences
B. unknown in some parts of the world
C. an increase in IQ test scores over time
D. used to measure people's intelligence
9. According to the article, the change in teaching styles includes ________.
A. helping students improve test scores
B. exposing students to many tests
C. leading students to memorize information
D. encouraging students to find out things themselves
10. Why does the author mention computer games?
A. To encourage the reader to do more exercise instead of playing games.
B. To explain why more and more young people have poor vocabularies.
C. To give an example of technology improving our visual intelligence.
D. To show the fact that young people are not getting more intelligent.
11. Which statement would Professor Flynn agree with?
A. People today are taking easier tests.
B. People today have more visual intelligence.
C. People today have fewer problems to solve.
D. People today are more intelligent in every way.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B

D
How does an ecosystem (生态系统) work? What makes the populations of different species the way they are? Why are there so many flies and so few wolves? To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats.
With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator (掠食动物) always eats huge numbers of a single prey (猎物) , the two species are strongly linked; when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction (灭绝) of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.
Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point (临界点) , it is remarkably difficult for them to return.
12. A strong link is found between two species when a predator ______.
A. has a wide food choice B. can easily find new prey
C. sticks to one prey species D. can quickly move to another place
13. What will happen if the populations of top predators in a food web greatly decline?
A. The prey species they directly attack will die out.
B. The species they indirectly attack will turn into top predators.
C. The living environment of other species will remain unchanged.
D. The populations of other species will experience unexpected changes.
14. What conclusion can be drawn from the examples in Paragraph 4?
A. Uncontrolled human activities greatly upset ecosystems.
B. Rapid economic development threatens animal habitats.
C. Species of commercial value dominate other species.
D. Industrial activities help keep food webs stable.
15. How does an early-warning system help us maintain the ecological balance?
A. By getting illegal practices under control.
B. By stopping us from killing large predators.
C. By bringing the broken-down ecosystems back to normal.
D. By signaling the urgent need for taking preventive action.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇科普类的说明文。为了弄清楚生态系统的运转，科学家建立了数学模型，通过模型发现不同层次的物种之间的依存关系，而人类作为最高层的掠食动物，其一举一动都会影响整个生态系统。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“When a predator always eats huge numbers of a single prey, the two species are strongly linked…”可知，当掠食动物总是吃大量的单猎物时，这两种动物是紧密联系在一起的，stick to和always eat 是近义词，故选C。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三 段“Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems.…predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.”可知，数学模型还揭示了食物网可能是不稳定的，在这种情况下，顶级捕食者的微小变化会对整个生态系统产生重大影响。顶端掠食动物对其他物种的数量有着惊人的控制力，包括它们没有直接攻击的物种。由此可知，如果食物网中顶级捕食者的数量大幅下降其他物种的种群将经历意想不到的变化。故选D项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean, we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.”可知，未经计划的人类活动已经证明顶端掠食动物能自上而下地控制其他物种，然后说到人类对海洋和陆地的顶端掠食动物的捕杀，最后说，此行为已经大大影响了生态平衡。由此可知，人为的不受控制的行为会扰乱生态平衡，故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据本段中“Prevention is key, scientists say, because once ecosystems pass their tipping point, it is remarkably difficult for them to return.”可知，科学家说，预防是关键，因为一旦生态系统超过临界点，它们就很难恢复。由此判断出，预警系统通过表明采取预防措施的迫切需要帮助我们维持生态平衡。故选D项。
