So too did a lot of the norths soldiers. One of the central themes of the political histor

y of the twelfth century was the continual effort by the northern kingdoms to extend their control southward in the hope of tapping into the Mediterranean bonanza. The German emperors starting with Otto I(936-973), for example, struggled ceaselessly to establish their control over the cities of northern Italy, since those cities generated more revenue than all of rural Germany combined. The kings of France used every means at their disposal to push the lower border of their kingdom to the Mediterranean shoreline. And the Normans who conquered and ruled England established outposts of Norman power in Sicily and the adjacent lands of southern Italy; the English kings also hoped or claimed at various times to be, either through money or marriage diplomacy, the rulers of several Mediterranean states. But as the northern world pressed southward, so too did some of the cultural norms and social mechanisms of the south expand northward. Over the course of the twelfth century, the feudal kingdoms witnessed a proliferation of cities modeled in large degree on those of the south. Contact with the merchants and financiers of the Mediterranean led to the development of northern industry and international trade(which helped to pay for many of the castles and cathedrals mentioned earlier). And education spread as well, culminating in the foundation of what is arguably medieval Europes greatest invention: the university. The relationship of north and south was symbiotic, in other words, and the contrast between them was more one of differences in degree than of polar opposition.

In paragraph 1, why does the author distinguish between prairie riparian forest and Black Hills forest？

A．To highlight the difference between the views of various ecologists about the nature of ecological communities

B．To illustrate why some ecologists tended to view ecological communities as highly integrated

C．To demonstrate that one forest has a greater variety of species than the other

D．To show how these two forests differ from others in the United States

Conversation Two

W: I'm so worried about Mark these days. Ever since he moved into his apartment, he has been losing weight. He really doesn't look well at all.

M: He should try to gain some weight. He is probably not eating enough.

W: Well, anyway, how is Tim these days？

ally cold this winter.

M: Well, you didn't expect it to be warm, did you？

W: Of course not, but I just heard the national weather services prediction for the next 90 days. They said it's supposed to be much colder weather than usual.

M: Yeah, maybe. Personally, I think those long-range forecasts are useless.

W: Not as useless as you think.

M: Oh, come on, when you are talking about what's going to happen three months later, you can not count on the long- range weather forecasting.

W: Well, you are half way right. They aren't very good for rainfall. But they are a lot better for temperatures especially for this time of the year.

M: Really, so I should take them seriously about the cold but not count too much on a lot of extra snow？

W: Ahha.

M: But what did you say about this time of the year？ Do some seasons really give them more problems in making forecast.

W: Autumn is the worst; apparently weather patterns change so much then. Just think how variable our weather has been the last three months.

M: That's true. It probably would have been hard to predict all those changes hack in the summer, you know, you are beginning to convince me of the value of weather forecasting. How come you know so much about it？

听力原文： Were you the first or the last child in you family？ Or were you a middle or an only child？ Some people think it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means. Some people say that oldest children are smart and strongwilled. They are very likely to be successful. The reason for this is simple: parents have a lot of time for their first child. They give him or her a lot of attention. So this child is likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in the family？ Middle children don't get so much attention, so they don't feel that important. If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny and charming. Do you believe this idea of birth order too？ A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn't take many chances in their lives. They usually followed orders. Rules didn't mean as much to later children in the family. They went out and followed their own ideas. They took chances and they often did better in life.

(26)

A．They strongly believe in family rules.

B．They are very likely to succeed in life.

C．They tend to take responsibility for themselves.

D．They are in the habit of obeying their parents.
