24、a threat to humans. 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

25、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

26、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

27、 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

28、, 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 researc

29、her 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. 28. What do we know abou

30、t 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. 29. Who hold(s) the idea that fishing activities caused the incidents?A. Ken Balcomb. B. The environmentalists. C. Alfredo Lpez.

31、D. Spains government. 30. What does the underlined word the agitation in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. The attacks. B. Food shortages. C. The overfishing. D. Human activities. 31. What might be a suitable title for this text?A. How do killer whales attack humans?B. Why Are Killer Whales attacking Boats?C.

32、 How can we live in harmony with animals?D. Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea?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

33、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 ra

34、dioactivity(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

35、 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,

36、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 bed

37、s 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. 32. In order to know the age of groundwater, we can _.A. find

38、 its time stamp B. test atomic weaponsC. examine its freshness D. spread groundwater equally33. What do people think of the supply of modern groundwater?A. Its fresh. B. Its limited. C. Its vital. D. Its sufficient. 34. What does the underlined word this in paragraph 4 refer to?A. Water evaporating.

39、 B. Water leaking from river beds. C. Water getting into rocks. D. Water being used by all the plants. 35. What are the last three paragraphs mainly talking about?A. Climate variability. B. Global warming. C. Groundwater exploration. D. Groundwater sustainability. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文，从
