a. the owner of the car b. the owner of the dog c. the insurance company d. the government75. what does the underlined word “he” refer to? a. brigitte b. allen c. anderson d. secretarycsome scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. the noise that affects sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by underwater explosions, ocean drilling and ship engines. such noises are added to natural sounds. these sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves. decibels（分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. a noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. in water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect. some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. they have observed that noise at that level can frighten and confuse whales. a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously injure some animals. the research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. this seriously affected the whales ability to exchange information and find their way. some of the whales even died. the explosions had caused their ears to bleed（流血） and become infected（感染）. many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds object to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. however, many scientists suspect （怀疑）that noise is a greater danger than they believed. they want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 76. according to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures?a. the man-made noises. b. the noises made by themselves.c. the sound of earthquakes. d. the sound of the ice breaking.77. which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph? a. different places with different types of noises. b. the very human ears sensitive to all types of noises. c. the same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean. d. the ocean animals reaction to noises. 78. from the passage we know that _. a. whales are deaf to noises. b. noises at a certain level may hurt whales. c. whales are easily confused by noises.d. noises will limit whales ability to reproduce.79. we can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels would_.a. prevent them from doing their research work. b. benefit them a lot in their research work. c. do good to their health. d. increase the industrial output(产量).80. according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future? a. they will try their best to decrease noise. b. they will work hard to cut down noise pollution. c. they will study the effect of different noises. d. they will protect animals from harmful noises. dsecond life is a 3d online world in which computer users can create a new life and live a different life. second life is one of the most popular new online games. but unlike other games, second life is not about winning or losing. second life is technically a computer game. but people involved in it do not consider it a game because the players create everything. second life is more for socializing and creating communities. users of second life are called residents( 居民). to take part, they must create an avatar, or an electronic image of themselves. some avatars look like humans, while others look like animals or imaginary creatures. inside the second life world, residents live in different versions of themselves. they build homes, run businesses, buy and sell things, work, play, and attend schools. they even have relationships and get married. second life was created in 2003 by linden lab in san francisco, california. linden lab controls the website where the ever-changing world is being created. there are now about one million people around the world who are active to second life. the number has grown quickly since the beginning of the year when there were about one hundred thousand users.the average age of people involved with second life is about thirty. however, linden lab has recently created teen second life for young users. second life has its own economy and its own money, called linden dollars. millions of dollars are made and spent each month in second life. users can enter second life for free. but they must pay for a membership if they want to own land or buy and sell goods and services. recently, several major companies have become involved with second life. they want to be part of the growing business world that exists within the made-up reality. 81. whats special about the game “second life”?
