2、on. Suddenly, an awesome Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. Every cell in his body was scared to death. But soon, he was aware that he wasnt the target of an attack. With a neat wound in its lip caused by a shark, this grey seal was washed upside down by the tides time after time
3、. But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it. So Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to the shallow water. Without a pause he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the seaside. Every time he brought it tasty

Whale watchi
17、ng is a popular tourist activity in places where groups of killer whales (虎鲸) live. Every day, dozens of boats filled with tourists go to watch the beautiful animals. Unfortunately, the engines of the boats make a lot of noise, and that may be causing problems for the whales, according to a report i
18、n the US science magazine Nature. The whales travel in groups, and communicate with each other through sonic (声波的) calls that some scientists refer to as singing. The sounds of the boat engines may be creating too much background noise for the whales to be able to hear each other. The researchers li
19、stened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago before whale watching became popular. These were compared to more recent recordings. They have found that the animals start to sing for longer than they used to, like a person shouting to a friend across a noisy room. It is believe
20、d that the whales are trying to communicate hunting or breeding (繁殖) information. Scientists said that，if this was prevented，the future of the worlds whale population could be in danger. “Animals become slow in mind and repeat themselves in noisy areas，” said Volker Deecke, a Canadian biologist.“The

22、mainly tells us _.Athe problems of whale watchingBhow killer whales communicate with each otherCthe reduced population of killer whales caused by whale watchingDhearing problems of the killer whales caused by whale watching解析：选D 主旨大意题。概括文章第一段可得出答案。观鲸船所产生的噪音给虎鲸之间的信息交流造成了困难。A项所涉及的范围过大；B项仅仅是文章的细节；C项与原文
23、信息不符，因为文章最后说明虎鲸数量下降的原因不明。因此选D项。2. Now in a noisy background, the killer whales have to _. Asing in a louder voice Bsing longerCtravel in smaller groups Dget nearer to each other解析：选B 细节理解题。文章第五段说明，因为受噪音干扰，现在虎鲸“唱”的时间比原来长。3From the passage, we can feel that the author is _.

24、isappointed解析：选C 推理判断题。文章介绍观鲸船所产生的噪音给虎鲸之间的交流造成了困难，从文章最后的叙述看，虎鲸数量在下降，而科学家也不明白其中原因，显然作者对虎鲸的生存状况感到“担忧”。4Which of the following is the possible result of whalewatching?AFewer fish in the ocean.

29、句中作状语，故用形容词hopeful的副词形式hopefully，表示“有希望地”。3happier从语境看，这里表示“一想到这，我感觉再幸福不过了”。“cant比较级”表示最高级的含义，可译为“没有比更的了”。4to volunteer“我”已经在其他几个地方申请了做志愿者。这里应用不定式作目的状语。5accomplishment空处在句中作宾语，故用名词accomplishment“成就”。a sense of accomplishment“成就感”。6for这是“我”人生的追求之一。分析句子结构并结合句意可知，空处应用for表示“为了”。7would be inspiredwish后的宾
30、语从句中要用虚拟语气，由下文的“in the future”可知，此处为与将来事实相反的虚拟，故用would be inspired。8a人们也总有团结在一起帮助人类同胞和动物的强烈需求。这里用a strong need for sb. to do sth.表示“某人做某事的强烈需求”，此时抽象名词need转化为具体名词；此处表泛指，故用不定冠词a。9doing在做志愿者工作时，我们发挥自己的作用帮助他人。此处为状语从句的省略，do与主句的主语we之间为逻辑上的主谓关系，故用doing。10promotes此处说的是做志愿者的好处，为通常的客观情况，应用一般现在时；主语是volunteerin
