LZ,GWD那篇原题可否给1-2个关键字,谢谢,不知道是不是这篇:
T-4-Q24~27: TS-7-33~36
Untilrecently, zoologists believed that all species of phocids (true seals), apin-nipped family, use a different maternal strategy than do otariids (furseals and sea lions), another pinnipedfamily. Mother otariids use a foraging strategy. They acquire moderate energystores in the form of blubber before arriving at breeding sites and then fastfor 5 to 11 days after birth. Throughout the rest of the lactation (milkproduction) period, which lasts from 4 months to 3 years depending on the species,mother otariids alternately forage at sea, where they replenish their fat stores,and nurse their young at breeding sites. Zoologists had assumed that females ofall phocids species, by contrast, use a fasting strategy in which mother phocids,having accumulated large energy stores before they arrive at breeding sites, fastthroughout the entire lactation period, which lasts from 4 to 50 days dependingon the species. However, recent studies on harbor seals, a phocids species,found that lactating females commenced foraging approximately 6 days aftergiving birth and on average made 7 foraging trips during the remainder of their24-day lactation period. Thematernal strategy evolved by harbor seals may have to do with their small sizeand the large proportion of their fat stores depleted in lactation. Harbor sealsare small compared with other phocids species such as grey seals, all of which areknown to fast for the entire lactation period. Studies show that mother sealsof these species use respectively 84 percent, 58 percent, and 33 percent oftheir fat stores during lactation. By comparison, harbor seals use 80 percentof their fat stores in just the first 19 days of lactation, even though theyoccasionally feed during this period. Since such a large proportion of theirfat stores is exhausted despite feeding, mother harbor seals clearly cannot supportall of lactation using only energy stored before giving birth. Though smaller thanmany other phocids, harbor seals are similar in size to most otariids. Inaddition, there is already some evidence suggesting that the ringed seal, aphocids species that is similar in size to the harbor seal, may also use amaternal foraging strategy.
T-4-24:T-733It can beinferred from the passage that the females of all phocids species differ fromthe females of all otariid species in that the female phocids A. have shorter lactation periods B. consume more food during lactation C. consume a higher proportion of fat stores D. forage for food occasionally during theirlactation periods E. deplete a smaller percentage of their fatstores during their lactation periods T-4-25:T-7-34Theprimary purpose of the passage is to A. present evidence that several phocidsspecies use the maternal fasting strategy B. explain why the maternal strategy typicallyused by phocids is different from the maternal strategy used by otariids C. argue that zoologists’ current understandingof harbor seals’ maternal strategy is incorrect D. describe an unexpected behavior observed inharbor seals and propose an explanation that may account for the behavior E. describe evidence concerning the maternalstrategy of the harbor seal and suggest that the harbor seal belongs to theotariid rather than to the phocids family T-4-26:T-7-35Accordingto the passage, until recently zoologists believed which of the following aboutall phocids mothers? A. Their fasting periods after giving birthwere typically shorter than those of otariids. B. Their lactation periods were generally aslong as those of comparably sized otariids. C. They acquired only moderate energy stores inthe form of blubber before arriving at breeding sites. D. They depleted less than a third of theirstored body fat during lactation. E. The replenished their fat stores only aftertheir lactation period ended.
T-4-27-T-7-36The authorof the passage mentions ringed seals most probably in order to A. provide anexample of a phocid species that fasts throughout its entire lactation period B. provide an example of a phocid species whosematernal strategy is typical of phocid species C. provide an example of a phocid species thatmay deplete an even higher proportion of its fat stores during lactation thanharbor seals do D. support the assertion that harbor seals aresmaller than many other phocids E. support the assertion that harbor seals’maternal strategy may be related to their small size
