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, 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 feet 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 tuna - 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 Washington, USA. The environmentalists 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 are defensive measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the of the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soon.8. What do we know about orcas in paragraph 1?A. They are friendly to humans.B. They have changed their behavior.C. They are famous for hunting skillsD. They have met tough living conditions.9. Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents?A. Ken Balcomb.B. The environmentalists.C. Alfredo Lpez.D. Spains government.10. What does the underlined word the agitation in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The attacks.B. Food shortages.C. The overfishing.D. Human activities.11. What might be a suitable title for this text?A. How do killer whales attack humans?B. Why Are Killer Whales attacking Boats?C. How can we live in harmony with animals?D. Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea?【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. B【解析】【分析】这是一篇新闻报道。报道了西班牙葡萄牙近海区多艘小型渔船遭遇杀人鲸袭击。【8题详解】推理判断题。由根据第一段第一句“Killer whales, or orcas, are known for their severe attacks on sea animals but they have never posed a threat to humans.”可知，以前虎鲸从未袭击人类。结合第二句“ However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. ”（然而自从去年七月，这种动物一直在有意地袭击西班牙葡萄牙近海岸水域的渔船。）可知，虎鲸改变了他们的行为。故选B项。”【9题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段“Some believe it could be a result of the overfishing of the bluefish tuna - 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 Washington, USA.（有些研究员认为可能是由于人类过度捕猎虎鲸为食的鱼类引起的，导致虎鲸吃不饱不能喂养幼鲸。Ken Balcomb,说他看到虎鲸盯着载满鱼的船，大概知道人类和他们挨饿有关）可知，A项符合题意。故选A项。【10题详解】词句猜测题。第三段在分析虎鲸袭击人类的渔船行为的原因。举例说明了有的研究员认为是人类过度捕鱼可能导致虎鲸食物不足，引发虎鲸袭击渔船。划线词所在句子“The environmentalists 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.”（环境学家认为好几个月的春季禁渔期结束，渔船流量突然增加和捕鱼活动也可能会导致这些虎鲸袭击渔船事件。）该句分析了另一个引发虎鲸袭击事件的原因，据此可以推测划线词的意思是虎鲸袭击事件。故选A项。【11题详解】推理判断题。文章开头介绍虎鲸袭击渔船的异常行为。接下来分析各种有可能引发虎鲸异常行为的诱因，所以题目应该是“虎鲸为什么袭击渔船”。故选B项DUS and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres 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 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 than50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern groundwater spread equally over the continents.It could be argued that if we use only this modem groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced (or recharged) by natural processes over the last 50years. But how quickly groundwater 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, fresh 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 as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming.1
