(2018·吉林舒兰第一高级中学期中)For years, Hagelin has studied what role scents(气味) play in wild birds' behavior. In 2010, Hagelin heard Jan Straley, a marine biologist, talk about the behavior of whales. Straley mentioned that whales often leap into the air, but nobody knew why.
The mystery interested Hagelin. So Hagelin asked Straley whether they might leap to smell the air—maybe to locate food or look for danger. Straley replied that it was an interesting idea but there wasn't much evidence that whales have a sense of smell. To investigate the idea further, the two scientists teamed up.
In the summer of 2011,they set up a post on the coast of southern Alaska. The researchers spent hours monitoring the direction of the whales and of the wind. The whales headed into the wind half of the time. This didn't prove that whales leap to smell, but it suggested that it is possible.
21
Meanwhile, other researchers in Alaska were studying a region of the brain called the olfactory bulb(嗅觉球) in whales. Olfaction means the ability to smell. Humans also process smells in the olfactory bulb.
In identifying a scent, you might think the nose does all of the work. However, the major role of a nose is to draw chemicals on the air and pass them across sensing cells. As chemicals come into contact, they give signals that travel directly to the bulb and then in the brain for further interpretation.
The researchers discovered that the bulb in a whale was more complex than the one in a human. In whales, this smellprocessing center takes up a share of the brain six times larger than it does in humans.
The brain research suggests that whales probably can smell just as well as people—and possibly better than humans can. It is supposed that a good sense of smell could help them find food more easily.
However, Hagelin is not sure of that. Now he is planning a new study that will examine whether whales do use the sense of smell to find food.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,主要谈论的是关于鲸鱼嗅觉的研究。鲸鱼的嗅球比人类的嗅球复杂得多。这种嗅觉是否能帮助鲸鱼找到食物还有待研究。
4.Hagelin and Straley set up a post with the purpose of finding ________.
A.how whales look for food in groups
B.whether whales can get out of danger
C.how whales head into the wind
D.whether whales leap to smell the air
[解析] 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The mystery interested Hagelin. So Hagelin asked Straley whether they might leap to smell the air”和第三段第一句可知,Hagelin和Straley这样做是为了研究鲸鱼飞跃是否是为了闻到空气。故选D。
[答案] D
5.We can learn from the text that the olfactory bulb in a whale ________.
A.is smaller than the one in a human
B.draws chemicals spreading in the air
C.is more complex than the one in a human
D.processes smells better than the one in a human
[解析] 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段第一句可知鲸鱼的嗅球比人类的嗅球复杂得多。故选C。
[答案] C
21
6.It is implied in the text that Hagelin ________.
A.hasn't got any evidence that whales have a sense of smell so far
B.doesn't know whether whales hunt their food in groups
C.isn't sure that the sense of smell can help whales find food
D.isn't sure whether humans can smell as well as whales
[解析] 推理判断题。根据最后两段中的“It is supposed that a good sense of smell could help them find food more easily. However, Hagelin is not sure of that.”可知,Hagelin还不能确定这种嗅觉能否帮助鲸鱼找到食物。故选C。
[答案] C
7.In which section of a newspaper can we read this text?
A.Education. B.Science.
C.Culture. D.Agriculture.
[解析] 推理判断题。纵观全文可知这篇文章是关于鲸鱼嗅觉的研究,所以最有可能来自报纸的“科学”栏目。故选B。

(2018·合肥高三质检)“The 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 (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 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 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 listened to recordings of whale calls made between 15 and 25 years ago, before whale watching became popular. These were compared to more recent
21
recordings.
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 world's whale 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 of killer whales in this area has been falling for several years, but scientists are not sure why.
语篇解读:本文首先介绍了观鲸船所产生的噪音对虎鲸的交流造成了困难,然后又介绍了观鲸旅游的盛行和虎鲸的交流方式。
8.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 problems of the killer whales caused by whale watching
[解析] 主旨大意题。概括文章第一段可得出答案。观鲸船的噪音给虎鲸的信息交流造成了困难。
[答案] D
9.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
[解析] 细节理解题。由第五段可知,因为受噪音干扰,现在虎鲸“唱”的时间比原来长。
[答案] B
10.Scientists believe that killer whales sing to ________.
A.warn each other of dangers
B.keep in the same group
C.send useful information
21
D.enjoy themselves
[解析] 细节理解题。文章倒数第三段有说明,虎鲸“唱歌”是为了交流捕食或繁殖信息。
[答案] C
11.From the passage, we can feel that the author is ________.
A.angry B.hopeful
C.worried D.disappointed
[解析] 推理判断题。文章介绍观鲸船的噪音给虎鲸的交流造成了困难,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的原因,因此显然作者对虎鲸的生存状况感到“担忧”。
[答案] C
D
A Chinese television reality show called “Wonderful Friends”, where entertainers hug whale sharks, kiss lions, feed pandas and dress up baby chimpanzees, has come under fire from wildlife protectors who want it to be stopped, saying such activities are cruel and are dangerous for both the humans and animals.
The show is the latest hit from Hunan TV, which has attracted more than 196,000 followers. In each show, popular stars are given zookeeping tasks that allow them to interact with wild animals in order to bring humans and animals closer together.
Animal welfare advocates say that is exactly what should be avoided. Dave Neale of Animals Asia (an advocacy group) said, “It is hugely misleading to the public about the needs and welfare of captive animals(圈养动物) and putting the animals' welfare and health at risk.”
“What they don't realize is that wild animals need space,” said Xie Yan, who is a zoologist. “Putting clothes on chimpanzees is not as adorable as you may think from the animals' point of view. I guess their idea was to get their viewers to love and protect the animals,” Ms. Xie added, “but we do not agree with this approach for entertainment.”
Using famous people to focus public attention on wildlife is a common practice in conservation campaigns. The Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming went to Africa and highlighted the problem of elephant and rhinoceros poaching(偷猎) in the documentary “The End of the Wild”. “But differently, he, as a human observer, kept his distance and was there to see the hard truth of poaching, and that is different from a show created to attract viewers,” Ms. Xie said.
