3、and among populations that dont necessarily interact with one another.This is to say,whatever has caused the change doesnt seem to have a specific geographic origin.The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem a likely criminal.However,scientists have identified low

4、ered pitches even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes.One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts.As their populations have grown,then,the whales may have decreased their volume because they are more likely to be

5、 communicating over short distances.Last years study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch,however.Perhaps whales dont need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon dioxide.Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,me

6、anwhile,may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways.Recent study shows that,during the summer,the whales must use their top volume to be heard in the cracking ice a natural sound increased by unnatural processes,as rising temperatures worsen ice-melt.So the impacts of a warming planet m

16、spread【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。根据上文“started out on her arms and face”和下文“covered nearly 97%”可知皮疹扩散、病情恶化了。所以用spread扩散。2.A.whyB.howC.when D.whether【解析】选B。逻辑推理题。根据下文People would stop and stare at her in the street可推知Giorgia感到最痛苦的是别人对待她的方式。所以用能表达方式的副词how。3.A.disgustingB.preciousC.interestingD.complex【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据

20、以用accepted,接受。11.A.cover upB.get underC.take offD.break down【解析】选A。逻辑推理题。根据句意“Giorgia已经接受了自己的身体”可以推断她不再想尽一切办法遮掩自己的皮肤了。所以用cover up掩盖。12.A.regrettablyB.gratefullyC.seriouslyD.bravely【解析】选D。逻辑推理题。与上文中courage to love herself相呼应。她开始分享展示自然的自己的照片并以此鼓励他人。由此可知用bravely勇敢地。13.A.knowledgeB.strengthC.abilityD.ex

24、m a grandmas fragrant drawer.But there is one memory that is a little bittersweetsort of like 80%dark chocolate,but still good for you.This story brings to mind a colorful candy dish and a very little boy.The occasion was somewhere between Christmas and New Year when a few candies in a dish remained

25、 behind,a bright spot in dull winter gray.Wrapped in Decembers chill,my then 3-year-old grandson,Justin,and I had dashed from the warmth of my parked car into the building where I planned to take care of a few work-related tasks.A smiling secretary greeted us as we brushed the snowflakes and rubbed

26、our hands to chase the cold.Then with my grandchild close to my side,I busied myself finishing the items of business that had brought us there.But while his hand remained in mine,his eyes fell on the candy dish sitting nearby.As we turned to leave,the thoughtful and very observant woman behind the d

28、from me and then a hurried beeline to the candy dish followed.One candy bar was already in his hand.注意:续写词数应为 150 左右。“Justin!”I said from the doorway._ In the humor of the moment,I felt something hard to swallow._【参考范文】“Justin!”I said from the doorway.By this time his pudgy hands had grabbed one and

30、y giggled at the fun we were having.In the humor of the moment,I felt something hard to swallow.There was a truth that lingered long after the strawberry candy taste had disappeared.What example had I set for this little one while often in my care?Was he learning more about“getting”and less about gratitude that heartfelt“thank you”?In the years since,Ive always loved to remember that moment.But one gift I hope we all leave with our children is the importance of a grateful heart.Really,what could be sweeter?
