26、Natural selection is the process by which one type of animal within a species thrives (兴旺) because of certain characteristics that make it more likely to live than others in its group. The history of the peppered moth (灰蛾) is an example of the natural selection process.
In nineteenth-century England, certain types of peppered moths were able to better blend (融合) into their surroundings. During that time period, great changes were happening in Great Britain. The Industrial Revolution was part of this change, and with it came air pollution. Natural selection often takes hundreds or even thousands of years to occur. For the peppered moth, this process occurred comparatively quickly.
At the beginning of the Industrial Age, most peppered moths in England were light-colored and covered with black markings, although a few moths had dark-colored wings. Because the light-colored moths blended into the light-colored bark on the trees, they could not be easily seen by birds that would eat them. As the air grew more polluted, however, tree trunks became covered with soot (煤烟) and became darker. The light-colored moths became easy for birds to see against the dark tree trunks. Since the dark-colored moths now had the advantage, their numbers grew. Within 50 years, the peppered moth went from being mostly light-colored to being mostly dark-colored.
In the twentieth century, the air cleared up, and the peppered moth population changed again. As tree trunks lightened due to less soot in the air, light-colored moths once again had an advantage. Their numbers increased as soot levels declined. Depending on their environment, the coloration of the moths helped them to be “naturally selected” to survive.
【1】What do we know about the peppered moth’s natural selection process?
A．It was a good example of environmental protection.
B．The soot levels in England did not affect it.
C．This type of color change was typical for moths.
D．The length of time was unusual.
【2】What can we learn from the third paragraph?
A．Both kinds of moths preferred the dark-colored trees.
B．Birds failed to see light-colored moths.
C．There were more light-colored moths than dark-colored moths originally.
D．The color of moths was unimportant.
【3】Which would most likely happen if soot darkened England’s trees again?
A．Birds would eat fewer moths.
B．The population of dark-colored moths would increase.
C．Moths would not be able to stay alive.
D．Light-colored moths would disturb people’s life.
【4】We can infer from the text that in England ________ .
A．there were always many peppered moths
B．birds preferred to eat dark-colored moths
C．trees changed colors to adapt to the environment
D．birds were dangerously affected by the soot levels
