(2014·德州模拟)Some animals will defend their territory by fighting with those who try to invade it.Fighting,however,is not often the best choice,since it uses 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 else’s 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 territory’s 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 animal’s size by putting up feathers or fur,or will show off the animal’s 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 animal’s 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.

A.What animals’ territory is usually like.

D.Asking partners for help.

3.What does the underlined word “exaggerate” in the second paragraph mean?

A.enlarge  B.change

A.animals meet near the border of their territories

B.the invader enters the defender’s territories

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing

countries.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.

What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live ,the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.

Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.

Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination (歧视) in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.

Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.

To achieve equality in such matters will take considerable time and effort. One thing is sure:there is no time to be lost.

1.The proportion of older people .

A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries

B. will increase much faster in China than in France

C. is one-seventh of the population in developing countries

D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

2.According to the passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?

A. The longer life and good health of people.

B. The diseases and disability of older people.

C. The loss of taxes on older people.

D. The increasing respect for older people.

3.It is stated directly in the passage that older people should .

A. be treated differently in different cultures

B. enjoy a similar lifestyle

C. be valued by the younger generations

D. be ignored as society changes

4.Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?

A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.

B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.

C. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.

D. Providing free health care for sick older people.

5.The author concludes in the last paragraph that .

A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problem

B. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problem

C. population ageing is a hard problem,but it needs to be solved urgently

D. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problem
