8、.BThe noise made by boats of whale watching tourists may be causing communication problems for the animals, British researchers said last week. Whale watching is a popular tourist activity in places where groups of killer whales live. Every day, dozens of boats filled with tourists go to watch the b
9、eautiful 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 in the US science magazine Nature. The whales travel in groups, and communicate with each other through sonic calls that some scientists refer to as s
10、inging. 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 listened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago, before whale watching became popular. These were compared to more recent recordings.
11、They found that the animals have started to sing for longer than they used to, like a person shouting to a friend across a noisy room. It is believed that the whales are trying to communicate hunting or breeding information. Scientists said that, if this is prevented, the future of the worlds whale
12、population could be in danger. Animals become slow in mind and repeat themselves in noisy areas, said Volker Deecke, a Canadian biologist. They have to say things twice or three times in order to be understood. The killer whales studied were living off the coast of northwestern America. The number o
13、f killer whales in this area has been falling for several years, but scientists are not sure why. 4. The passage mainly tells us _.A. the problems of whale watching B. how killer whales communicate with each other C. the reduced population of killer whales caused by whale watching D. hearing problem
14、s of the killer whales caused by whale watching 5. Now in a noisy background, the killer whales have to _. A. sing in a louder voice B. sing longer C. travel in smaller groups D. get nearer to each other 6. Scientists believe that killer whales sing to _ . A. warn each other of dangers B. keep in th
15、e same group C. send useful information D. enjoy themselves 7. From the passage, we can feel that the author is _. A. angry B. hopeful C. worried D. disappointed CIm a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.A month after I graduated from high school in August,2007, I was coming home from swi
16、m practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldnt open my mouth to talk or to com
17、municate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.After receiving a total of 15
18、operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my
19、own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim train
20、ing, I began my freshman year at St.Marys College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live every day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how
21、bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, th
22、ings would work out for the best.8. The underlined word coma in Paragraph 2 probably has the meaning of _ .A. operation B. unconsciousnessC. treatment D. emergency9. According to Paragraph 3, it can be inferred that the author_ .A. was unable to talk or communicate B. was in despairC. faced physical
23、 and mental challenges D. felt anxious about his state10. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to show_ .A. his positive influence on other patients B. his meaningful lifeC. his purpose of sharing his story D. his great achievements11. The best title for the passage would be _ .A. Actions
24、speak louder than words B. Attitude is everythingC. Everything happens for a reason D. A Good beginning is half doneDGovernment surveys show girls and boys take roughly the same number of science and math class in high school. Over half college graduates are woman. In college, men are twice as likel
25、y to major in science, although it varies by field. Women are likely to study biology in college, for example. Men are more likely to study engineering of computer science. Men also are more likely to get a job in STEY(科学、技术、工程、数学). That may be due, in part to those stereotypes(旧习) that women arent
26、as good at science or as smart as men. Indeed, there is some research pointing to this impact. A 2015 study in Science, for example, survey more than 1,800 researchers. They worked in more than 30 areas, including 18 science and math fields. Women, it found. were most poorly represented in fields th
27、at were most likely to consider intelligence a requirement for success.Eresto Reuben studies human behavior at Columbia University In New York City. His team showed how those stereotypes could affect decisions on who gets a job. They asked volunteers to pretend to “hire” a new employee to do a mathe
28、matical task. The choice was between a man and a woman. When the volunteer knew nothing about the employees except for their appearance, men were twice as often offered the job.Two years earlier, researchers at Yale University in New Haven, Conn., had published a related study in PNAS. It asked scie
29、ntists to review job applications from equally qualified(有资格的) students. The only difference on the applications was whether the candidates name was male or female. Overall, both men and women scientists judged the male candidates as better qualified based only on their apparent gender. Even when a
30、woman was selected to get a job, the review committee offered her a salary $4000 less than what had been offered to men they said they would hire.12. What does the 2015study in Science want to imply?A. Intelligence is a necessity of success.B. Men can get more achievements than woman.C. Women cannot
31、 do well in science and math fields.D. Men are considered more intelligent than women.13. Under the same conditions, what may matter most on choosing a new employee?A. Work experience.B. The sex of the employee.C. Whether the name sounds good.D. Whether the employee looks pretty.14. What conclusion
32、can we draw from the text?A. Stereotypes about women should be removed.B. High school had better offer more science classes.C. Men are better qualified for jobs in the science field.D. Women should be more confident about themselves.15.Where is the passage probably from?A.Poster. B.Dairy. C.Magazine
