27、Herman Melvile, the writer of the famous whale story Moby Dick, once wrote that humpback whales were “the most lighthearted of all the whales.” Known to be intelligent animals and can be seen working together to hunt schools of small fish, humpbacks are a favorite of whale watchers everywhere. And, if you listen closely, you might even hear one singing.
Marine (海洋) biologist Jim Darling has studied the songs of humpback whales for more than 25 years. While recording whale songs on a boat near Hawaii, he invited author Douglas Chadwick to experience diving with a humpback. In the water, Chadwick heard the whale’s songs in a way he never heard them before. “Suddenly, I no longer heard the whale’s voice in my ears,” he said. “I felt it inside my head and bones.”When swimming with the whale, Chadwick could see that the whale was aware of him, but not alarmed by his presence. Up in the boat, Darling recorded the whale’s song, which can be long and complex, sometimes lasting for 30 minutes or more. Actually, they are perhaps the longest songs sung by any animal.
Darling says that only male humpbacks sing, but for unknown reasons, it was previously thought that they sang to attract females, but scientists showed this was incorrect when they played recordings of whale songs in the ocean and the female whales did not respond. Another idea is that male humpbacks compete with each other using songs, just as other male animals on land do using their horns or sharp teeth.
Researchers have also found that humpback whale songs are different in different parts of the world, perhaps like whale national songs. They may also be like hit tunes on the radio, changing over time—from one year to the next, or even over a single breeding season when they produce young.
Another member of the research team, photographer Flip Nicklin, recalls a special moment he had while interacting with a humpback. While he was snorkeling(潜水) some distance from the huge animal, it approached him until it was just a few metres away. It then gently carried Nicklin towards its eye with a flipper(鳍肢), as if examine him. Obviously, the urge to understand a different species goes both ways.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?
A.How to record the humpbacks in the ocean.
B.How humpbacks communicate with people.
C.Humpback songs and what they might mean.
D.the career of a man who is interested in humpbacks.
【2】When the scientists played songs in the ocean, ________.
A.the songs attracted fish
B.no female whales came
C.male whales became angry
D.male and female whales came together
【3】What is NOT true about humpback whales?
A.Their songs are short and simple.
B.Only male humpback whales sing.
C.Humpback whales are very friendly.
D.They are popular with whale watchers.
【4】What do Chadwick and Nicklin have in common?
A.They were afraid of whales.
B.They swam with the whales.
C.Their jobs are to take photos of the whales.
D.They are marine biologists studying whales.
28、 The population of Thailand is 69 million with 5. 7 million farms with an average farm size of 3. 15 hectares (公顷).Agriculture is of importance to Thailand’s income, and more than 60% of the total population is involved in agriculture.
Chemical fertilizers play an important role in raising agricultural productivity. But they also worsen soil quality. Gradually, the amount of farmland fit for agriculture is reduced. The use of chemical fertilizers in Thailand increased from 2. 3 million tons in 2000 to 5. 0 million tons in 2015, which cost about 1835 million US dollars. About 42% of the fertilizer was used for 10. 4 million hectares in the wet and dry season. Due to the oil shock in 2008, the price of fertilizers greatly increased. As a result, the Thai Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives issued a policy to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
The management of using fertilizers became very important, especially for economic reasons. The NPK fertilizer suggestions for most crops got from field experiments could not be used for crops in other locations where the climate, soil type, crop strain (品种),and management were different.
To reduce production costs and increase crops yield (产量)in small farms, the country has spread the Site-specific Nutrient Management technology, which is known in Thailand as the Tailor-made Fertilizer Technology (TFT) and it is useful. Importantly, it’s not harmful to the farmland.
【1】What can we learn about Thailand from paragraph 1?
A.It has about 30 million farmers.
B.40% of people in it are farmers.
C.Agriculture is important to its economy.
D.Its farms take up 60% of its land.
【2】Using chemical fertilizers can ________.
A.cut down on production costs
B.influence the quality of farmland
C.reduce the soil testing for farmers’ practices
D.increase the amount of farmland suitable for agriculture
【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards the TFT technology?
A.Supporting. B.Doubtful. C.Unconcerned. D.Worried.
【4】What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Chemical fertilizers do damage to farmland.
B.Farmers do not care about farmland protection.
C.Thailand spread TFT to manage the use of fertilizers.
D.TFT makes Thailand’s crop yields reduced.
29、 As US firm launched (发行) a “smart lock” that can let you into your home using a mobile phone and you don't even need to take the phone out of your pocket to open the door. The August lock costs $249 and can even be set to automatically let in friends or workmen.

We went to Darjelling during the summer holidays and booked a cottage(农舍) for our stay. Our cook Gopi came with us because we could not do without home-cooked meals.
Usually all the shopping was done by our home help Bharat, who went to our holiday destination with us. However, one early evening, my mother decided to do all the vegetable shopping by herself. She believed that Bharat did not wait to check the really fresh items and instead, bought some things in a hurry. As a result, the vegetables he brought back were not fresh.
After getting ready, she took her favorite purse with quite an amount of money, thinking she could go to other shops too after finishing at the vegetable market. My mother asked Bharat to get a rickshaw for her and on reaching the market, she asked the rickshaw wallah ( 人力车车夫) to wait for her. She took a coolie (小工) and did her shopping happily, choosing some of the freshest green vegetables available there. At last, her shopping was done. She returned to the rickshaw and sat on it while the coolie put all the things my mother had bought onto the rickshaw.
On reaching home, Bharat took all the packets of vegetables inside and my mother quickly paid the rickshaw wallah and got off, forgetting to collect her purse from the seat of the rickshaw. The rickshaw wallah left soon after saying goodbye to my mother. All of us greeted my mother and asked her about her evening of shopping with much delight.
Then we began to help my mother prepare our dinner. My father came to help cut the meat; I helped wash the vegetables; we were talking and laughing. When dinner was ready, it was late in the evening, almost 9 p.m.
Paragraph 1:
Then my mom realized her purse was missing.
