52、ales and dolphins swimming in their natural habitat is so much better than seeing these great mammals in zoos and aquariums.

But is it possible that this kind of human activity putting their survival at risk?A recent study has shown that the behavior of whales and dolphins changes greatly when they
54、 are close to boats. Interpreting the boats as a possible danger, they start to breathe more to breathe more quickly. The boats drive them away from the places where they feed and interrupt their routine of resting and taking care of their young. All of these factors could have a very negative effec
55、t on their general health. Another factor that should be taken into account is the effect of human attention on the animals. As they become more used to interacting with humans, they become less afraid of them. There have been several cases of tour boats running into dolphins or whales and causing t
56、heir deaths. As dolphins live within close communities, events like these cause a lot of stress.Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. We could do by keeping a minimum distance between the animals and the boats, and by limiting the number of boats out o
57、n the water at one time. Most importantly, instead of interrupting these animals routines, we should try to adapt to them. In this way, we could learn to exist in harmony with these wild animals and ensure our continued co-existence on the planet that we shall share.28. Why are Eco-wildlife tours in

61、，但研究表明人类与野生动物近距离接触，会影响它们的生活和健康，甚至对它们造成伤害。作者认为要想与野生动物和谐相处，就要减少与它们的互动。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第一段中“Eco-wildlife tours like this are becoming more and more popular with tourists. The opportunity to see whales and dolphins swimming in their natural habitat is so much better than seeing these great mammals in zoo
62、s and aquariums.”(生态野生动物旅游越来越受到游客的欢迎。看到鲸鱼和海豚在它们的自然栖息地游泳的机会比在动物园和水族馆看到这些大的哺乳动物要好得多。)可知生态野生动物旅游越来越受欢迎是因为游客可以观看大自然中的野生动物，故选B。【29题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. We could do by keeping a minimum distance between the animals and the bo
63、ats, and by limiting the number of boats out on the water at one time.”(也许保护这些动物最好的方法是减少我们与它们的互动。我们可以通过保持动物和船只之间的最小距离，以及限制一次出海的船只数量来做到这一点。)可知作者认为要减少和野生动物的互动，少打扰它们的生活。由此可见作者对生态野生动物旅游持批评的态度，故选C。【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中“A recent study has shown that the behavior of whales and dolphins changes greatly when t
64、hey are close to boats. Interpreting the boats as a possible danger, they start to breathe more to breathe more quickly. The boats drive them away from the places where they feed and interrupt their routine of resting and taking care of their young. All of these factors could have a very negative ef
65、fect on their general health. ”(最近的一项研究表明，当鲸鱼和海豚靠近船只时，它们的行为会发生很大的变化。把这些船解释为一种可能的危险，他们开始更多地呼吸以更快地呼吸。小船把它们赶出它们觅食的地方，打断它们休息和照顾幼崽的日常生活。所有这些因素都可能对他们的总体健康产生非常负面的影响。)和“Another factor that should be taken into account is the effect of human attention on the animals. As they become more used to interacting w
66、ith humans, they become less afraid of them. There have been several cases of tour boats running into dolphins or whales and causing their deaths. As dolphins live within close communities, events like these cause a lot of stress.”（ 另一个需要考虑的因素是人类注意力对动物的影响。当它们越来越习惯于与人类交流时，它们就不再那么害怕他们了。已经有几起旅游船撞上海豚鲸鱼并
67、导致它们死亡的案例。由于海豚生活在紧密的群体中，像这样的事件会造成很大的压力。）可知太接近野生动物可能会给它们带来麻烦，影响它们的生活和健康，甚至对它们造成伤害。故选D。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据第三段中“Perhaps the best way to protect these animals is to reduce our interaction with them. Most importantly, instead of interrupting these animals routines, we should try to adapt to them. In this way
68、, we could learn to exist in harmony with these wild animals and ensure our continued co-existence on the planet that we shall share.”(也许保护这些动物最好的方法是减少与它们的互动。最重要的是，与其打断这些动物的日常生活，我们还不如试着去适应它们。这样，我们才能学会与这些野生动物和谐相处，确保我们在这个我们将共享的星球上继续共存。)可知要想与野生动物和谐相处，就要减少与它们的互动。故选A。DFor grown-ups, an afternoon snooze (
69、打盹) is often easier said than done. But many of us have probably experienced just how simple it can be to catch some sleep in a gently rocking hammock (吊床). By examining brain waves in sleeping adults, researchers reported in the June 21 issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, that they
70、now have evidence to explain why that is.“It is a common belief that rocking causes sleep: we fall asleep in a rocking chair soon and, since ancient times, we cradle our babies to sleep,” said Sophie Schwartz of the University of Geneva. “Yet, how this works had remained a mystery. The goal of our s
71、tudy was made up of two parts: to test whether rocking does indeed improve sleep, and to understand how this might work at the brain level.”Schwartz, Michel Mhlethaler, and their colleagues Laurence Bayer and Irina Constantinescu asked twelve adult volunteers to nap on a custommade bed or “experimen
72、tal hammock” that could either remain still or rock gently. All participants were good sleepers who didnt typically nap and did not suffer from excessive sleepiness during the day. Each participant took two 45minute afternoon naps, one with the bed still and one with the bed in motion, while their b

74、leep, a form of nonrapid eye movement sleep that normally occupies about half of a good nights sleep. The rocking bed also had a lasting effect on brain activity, increasing slow brain waves and bursts of activity known as sleep spindles (纺锤体).Schwartz and Mhlethaler say the next step is to find out
75、 whether rocking can improve longer periods of sleep and to find out whether it may be useful for the treatment of sleep disorders, such as insomnia (失眠).32. What does the June 21 issue of Current Biology tell us according to Paragraph 1?A. It is more difficult for grownups to fall asleep.B. People
76、today like to sleep in a rocking hammock.C. Many people nowadays suffer from excessive sleepiness.D. There comes the evidence for why rocking benefits peoples sleep.33. What can we learn from Sophie Schwartzs words?A. Her team aimed to answer two questions.B. The study is going to benefit babies a l
77、ot.C. The study had been kept secret before being finished.D. People used to believe rocking was bad for sleep.34. What finding was beyond the researchers expectation?A. The rocking seemed to improve participants sleep quality.B. All the participants fell asleep faster in the swinging condition.C. S
78、ome participants couldnt fall asleep in the swinging condition.D. Participants had a tendency to sleep excessively in the swinging bed.35. What is the best title?A.
