　　(2024·白鷺洲模擬)

　　If a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do?

　　Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is common in oceans. Unfortunately, man-made noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present.

　　Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nineteen sixties. The main reasons are ships’ propellers(螺旋槳). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, but some propellers cavitate(形成氣穴), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds.

　　Whales use low frequency calls to communicate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk.

　　Scientists studying right whales off Canada’s east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal communication areas. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species.

　　Scientists don’t have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales. (300W)

　　1. What does the passage mainly talk about?

　　A. Whales are in danger because of the noise.

　　B. Noise pollution is affecting whales.

　　C. Natural noise is good for whales.

　　D. How to protect whales endangered.

　　2. The following statements are true EXCEPT　.

　　A. you can call the police if you are disturbed by a noisy neighbor

　　B. low frequency noise has doubled off the Canadian coast every decade since the 1960s

　　C. noise pollution can prevent whales from contacting each other and from locating prey

　　D. endangered humpback and right whales are the most at risk

　　3. We can infer from the last paragraph that　.

　　A. some areas important to whales are overlapped with the ship lanes

　　B. scientists are creating the sound maps by tracking ships and marine mammals

　　C. if scientists have guns, they can correct the noise pollution

　　D. scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales

　　4. According to scientists, 　.

　　A. right whales off the California coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energy

　　B. right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living areas

　　C. there are about 20% of the normal communication areas still available for the right whales

　　D. the right whales always invest most of their energy for making calls

　　5. According to the description of whales, we can know that　.

　　A. the noise made by the ships has a bad effect on the area where whales live

　　B. whales can communicate with each other by diving into the deep water

　　C. whales cannot find mates because they don’t have enough energy

　　D. the communication between whales is through low frequency calls

　　(B)

　　Growing up on-screen for a decade as Harry Potter, 22-year-old Daniel Radcliffe has had to deal with typecasting(角色定型)his whole career. However, in a new release called The Woman in Black, the successful child actor finally escapes J. K. Rowling’s hero by taking on the lead role in a classic ghost story.

　　The movie, which hit Chinese cinemas on Sept. 20, tells the tale of a widowed(喪妻的)lawyer named Arthur Kipps (Radcliffe) who is sent to a remote village in the north of England for a late client’s(客戶的)affairs. There, he discovers the town’s tragic past—children die after they see a mysterious woman dressed in black. To clear things up, he decided to stay alone in an old house, which is completely cut off from the mainland at high tide.

　　His fears grow when he sees a woman in black looking at him from the window and hears the sound of a pony(小馬駒)and trap(輕便馬車)in difficulty, followed by the screams of a young child. Kipps decides he must find a way to break the cycle of horror after his son is threatened by the mysterious woman.

　　The story pulls out every old, dark house cliché(老套路)going: demonic(惡魔的)dolls, rocking chairs, and the ghostly black-cloaked(穿黑披風(fēng)的)woman herself. However, it has become one of this year’s biggest box office winners in the UK when it was released there in February.

　　British movie critic Jamie Russell thinks what makes it so different, is how character-driven it is and how Radcliffe makes it count.

　　“The Woman in Black works because of Radcliffe, not in spite of him, ” he said. “Radcliffe’s face convinces you that Kipps knows what it is to have loved and lost forever. ”

　　There is not much conversation. Director James Watkins’s gambled(下賭注)on Radcliffe’s acting. He was not disappointed. “It’s an absolute joy doing the slow push in on Dan, reading his thoughts and letting the camera drift(移動(dòng))closer and closer into his eyes, ” he told British magazine Total Film.

　　For the former Harry Potter star who has longed for a career away from Hogwarts, this ghost movie is a step in the right direction.

　　“It’s mainly about working hard and proving to people you’re serious about it, and stretching(傾注全力)yourself and learning. ” Radcliffe told British online newspaper The Huf fington Post.

　　And he understands fame is fleeting. “The line that has made the most lasting impression on me was by the US writer William Goldman. He said something like, ‘Stars come and go, only actors last’, ” he told the news website. (513W)
