How does an ecosystem (生态系统)work What makes the populations of different species the way they are Why are there so many flies and so few wolves To find an answer, scientists have built mathematical models of food webs, noting who eats whom and how much each one eats①.
With such models, scientists have found out some key principles operating in food webs. Most food webs, for instance, consist of many weak links rather than a few strong ones. When a predator(掠食动物)always eats huge numbers of a single prey (猎物),the two species are strongly linked;when a predator lives on various species, they are weakly linked. Food webs may be dominated by many weak links because that arrangement is more stable over the long term. If a predator can eat several species, it can survive the extinction(灭绝)of one of them. And if a predator can move on to another species that is easier to find when a prey species becomes rare, the switch allows the original prey to recover②. The weak links may thus keep species from driving one another to extinction.

Mathematical models have also revealed that food webs may be unstable, where small changes of top predators can lead to big effects throughout entire ecosystems③. In the 1960s, scientists proposed that predators at the top of a food web had a surprising amount of control over the size of populations of other species—including species they did not directly attack.
And unplanned human activities have proved the idea of top-down control by top predators to be true. In the ocean,we fished for top predators such as cod on an industrial scale, while on land, we killed off large predators such as wolves. These actions have greatly affected the ecological balance.
Scientists have built an early-warning system based on mathematical models. Ideally, the system would tell us when to adapt human activities that are pushing an ecosystem toward a breakdown or would even allow us to pull an ecosystem back from the borderline. Prevention is key, scientists say,because once ecosystems pass their tipping point (临界点),it is remarkably difficult for them to return.

长难句分析
①句意:为了找到答案,科学家们建立了食物网的数学模型,记录谁吃谁,以及每个动物吃多少。
分析:句中不定式短语To find an answer作目的状语;现在分词短语noting...one eats作目的 状语。
②句意:当一种猎物变得稀少时,如果掠食动物可以转向更容易找到的另一种物种,那么这种转 变会使最初的那种猎物恢复数量。
分析:if引导的条件状语从句中有一个that引导的定语从句,还有一个when引导的时间状语从句。
③句意:数学模型也揭示出食物网可能是不稳 定的,在那里顶端的掠食动物的微小变化会给整个 生态系统带来巨大的影响。分析:这是一个主从复合句。that引导宾语从句;关系副词where引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词 food webs。
关注文章结论建议处,破解推理判断题。
一般情况下出现 the research indicates、the report suggests、scientists say等类似的结论建议性表 达方式时,表明此处为文中提及的研究或报告的结果,这些地方是命题人在命制推理判断题时格外青睐的。如左栏文章最后一段中的最后一句即是该篇文章的研究成果,第2小题命题点便出自此处。
