24、 of the competition.Apple is an outstanding case of a company whose unique capabilities give it a worldwide 27 advantage, particularly w社h respect to its ability to build platforms from a product base that integrates functional and 28 design. Apple has been able to leverage and exploit its Californi

25、a-based design and marketing advantages successfully throughout the world. IKEA is another such case. The do-it-yourself furniture and houseware company first developed a compelling set of capabilities to design, manufacture and 29 furniture at low cost and sell it in a novel way in Sweden. Later, I

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragrap

31、h from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2.Fear of Nature： An Emerging Threat to ConservationA) What do we lose when natural spaces and species d

32、isappear? Increasingly, research has shown that as species and ecosystems vanish, it also chips away at our ability to preserve what remainsbecause we no longer understand what were losing.B) You probably see it all the time. The neighbor who puts pesticides on his lawn rather than deal with annoyin

33、g bees. The politician who votes against wildlife protection because shes never seen a wolf in the wild. The corporation that wants to bulldoze (用推土机推平)the habitat of a rare frog.C) At best this can be termed “the extinction of experience,” where our cultural and natural histories fade from our memo

34、ries and therefore our reality. At its worst it becomes something even more concerning： “biophobia, the fear of living things and a complete aversion to nature.D) This isnt the fiction of living in a cold, empty dystopia (绝望的世界).Sadly, its becoming a way of life for too many peopleespecially childre

35、n. A recent study in Japan paints a striking portrait of this problem. A survey of more than 5, 300 school children in the Tochigi Prefecture examined their perception of 14 local insect species and one spider. The results? A collective ew! Most of the students saw the species as things to dislike o

36、r fear, or even as sources of danger. The less experience the students had with nature, the more negative their feelings.E) The results were published earlier this year in the journal Biological Conservation. Lead researcher Masashi Soga with the University of Tokyo says the study stemmed from obser

37、vations about todays nature-deficient children. Humans inherently avoid dangerous organisms such as bees, but children these days avoid even harmless insects such as butterflies and dragonflies (蜻蜓)，he says. I have long wondered why so many of todays children react Hke this.nF) Although the children

38、s reactions were somewhat expected, the new study did contain an unexpected finding： Many of the surveyed children revealed that their parents also expressed fear or disgust of the same animals. In fact these parental emotions were strong enough to overwhelm any positive experiences the children mig

39、ht have gained from direct experiences in nature. As Soga and his coauthors wrote in their paper, Our results suggest that there is likely a feedback loop in which an increase in people who have negative attitudes towards nature in one generation will lead to a further increase in people with simila

40、r attitudes in the next generation.G) And thats possibly the greater threat posed by extinction of experience. Soga suggests the generational lossa condition previously dubbed environmental generational amnesia (遗忘)一could chip away at our societal ability to preserve what were losing. I believe that

41、 increased biophobia is a major, but invisible, threat to global biodiversity,n Soga says. As the number of children who have biophobia increases, public interest and support for biodiversity conservation will gradually decline. Although many conservation biologists still consider that preventing th

42、e loss of wildlife habitat is the most important way to conserve biodiversity, I think preventing increased biophobia is also important for conservation. ”H) Whats to be done about this? The paper makes several recommendations, the most obvious of which is that children should experience nature more

43、 often. The authors also suggest establishing policies to guide these natural experiences and increasing educational programs about the natural world.I) Helping parents to see species around them in a new light would make a difference, too. And, of course, maintaining support for preserving the wild

44、 spaces where these scary creatures live is themost important thing of all. Thats a point reinforced by another recent study, which found that wild spaces located within urban areasand the plants and animals that thrive in themare particularly important for human health and well-being.J) Published i

45、n the journal Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, the study examined attitudes toward Discovery Park, the heavily forested 534-acre public park in Seattle, Washington. It found that the public had the most appreciation for-and gained the most value from the wildest parts of the park. I have seen whales

46、, seals, fish, eagles, shorebirds and many other sea creatures in their natural habitat, one survey participant wrote. Coming here with people has allowed me to connect and talk with them about conversation that simply does not happen in everyday life, wrote another.K) The participants reported that

47、 their most valuable experiences in the park included encountering wildlife, walking through open spaces, exploring the beach and finding beautiful views. “We saw that a large majority of participants interactions, especially their most meaningful interactions, depended on Discovery Parks relative w

48、ildness, says lead author Elizabeth Lev, a masters student in the university of Washingtons Human Interaction with Nature Lab. This is only possible because the park is relatively wild. After all, you cant enjoy watching birds if there are no birds to followj gaze at the sunset if its obscured by skyscrapers； or stop and smell the flowers 迁 they dont have room to grow.L) And yet even this long-protected space could someday become less hospitable to nature. Over the past few years a lot of people
