22、er whales, or orcas, are known for their severe attacks on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29,
23、 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate (旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spains government banned boats of less than 50 fe
24、et in length from sailing in the 60-mile stretch of the Atlantic coastline between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring. Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas behavior. Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefish t
25、una the orcas primary food source which has left the areas killer whales starving and unable to feed their babies. “I saw them look at boats carrying fish. I think they know humans are somehow related to food shortages,” says Ken Balcomb, senior scientist at the Center for Whale Research in Washingt
26、on, USA. Theenvironmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat traffic and fishing activities, after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation.However, Alfredo Lpez, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks ar
27、e defensive measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries.

Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea?DUS and Canadian researchers recently calculatedthe total amount of the worlds groundwaterand estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 met
31、res deep covering the entire Earth. This makes groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this?Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic (原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp
32、which can be found in water, rocks and living organisms. By seeing if radioactivity (放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than 50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then
33、there is just three metres depth of “modern” groundwater spread equally over the continents.It could be argued that if we use only this “modern” groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced (or recharged) by natural processes over the last 50 years. But how quickly gro
34、undwater recharges changes over time.Water has to reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating (蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, f
35、resh water can recharge the groundwater from either water “leaking” from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil.In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such asEl Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with
36、global warming.32. In order to know the age of groundwater, we can _.A. find its time stamp B. test atomic weapons C. examine its freshnessD. spread groundwater equally33. What do people think of the supply of “modern” groundwater?A. Its fresh.B. Its limited. C. Its vital.D. Its sufficient. 34. What
37、 does the underlined word “this” in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Water evaporating.B. Water leaking from river beds.C. Water getting into rocks.D. Water being used by all the plants.35.

Or maybe not Even researchers who study this condition note that it can be surprisingly hard to define math anxiety. 17 After
40、all, its not an officially recognized mental disorder in the way that depression is. _18_ It asks things like how anxious would you feel about being given a set of division problems to solve on paper. Those who score high on these surveys about stress over making calculations related to numbers will
41、 be labeled math anxious.In general, people who panic over their math skills tend to do worse in math classes than people who dont mind numbers. 19 Just because youre math anxious, that doesnt always mean youre bad at math, notes Rose Vukovic, an educational psychologist at the University of Minneso
42、ta in Minneapolis.Math anxiety affects people of all ages. It can lead to poor performance in math classes. 20 Throughout life, this type of stress can stand in the way of mastering skills or projects in a host of areas that rely on calculations. But the good news is that the problem is manageable.
43、Researchers are finding ways people can cope with this stress.A. But thats not always true. B. It has an unimaginable impact.C. And its impacts dont end at graduation.D. Oh, you know it - well youre pretty sure, right ?E. To diagnose math anxiety, researchers conduct a questionnaire.F. Its also hard
44、 to identify precisely how many people suffer from it.G.
