生物圈是地球上最大的生态系统，它能维持相对稳定状态，是因为
A．生物与生物之间相互制约
B．生态系统具有自我调节能力
C．生产者总数是最多的
D．人工控制的结果
答案：B
题目分析：在一般情况下，生态系统中各种生物的数量和所占的比例是相对稳定的，这说明生态系统具有一定的自动调节能力，生态系统调节能力的大小取决于它自身结构特点，但生态系统的资源和空间是有限的，所以，其自动调节能力也是有限的，一般来说，生态系统中的生物种类越多，营养结构越复杂，自我调节能力就越大，反之，调节能力就小，故选B。
| Every group has a culture, however uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another, just as to the professional linguist, there is no intrinsic hierarchy among languages. People once thought of the languages of backward groups as undeveloped. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of uncivilized groups are, by our most severe standards, extremely complex. They differ from Western languages not in their sound patterns or grammatical structures, which usually are fully adequate for all language needs, but only in their vocabularies, which reflect the objects and activities known to their speakers. Even in this aspect, two things are to be noted. First, all languages seem to possess the machinery for vocabulary expansion, either by putting together words already in existence or by borrowing them from other languages and adapting them to their own system. Second, the objects and activities requiring names and distinctions in "backward" languages, while different from the West, are often surprisingly numerous and complicated. A Western language distinguishes merely between two degrees of remoteness ("this" and "that"). But some languages of the American Indians distinguish between what is close to the speaker, or to the person addressed, or removed from both, or out of sight, or in the past, or in the future. |
