comes from a number of human activities. it is caused mainly by industrial 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 suggested setting a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in the oceans. they have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales.a team of american and canadian scientists discovered that louder 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 and become infected(被感染的).many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds are against a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. they say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. but scientists want to prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean.33. according to the passage, natural sounds include all of the following except_a. sounds made by animals themselves b. ocean drilling c. underwater earthquakes d. the breaking of ice fields34. which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph?a. the same noise measured differently types of noises b. different places may have different types of noises c. the decibel is not a suitable unit for measuring underwater noise d. different ocean animals may have different reactions to noises35. according to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?a. they will work hard to reduce ocean noise pollution b. they will protect animals from harmful noises c. they will try to set a limit of 120 decibels d. they will study the effect of ocean noise pollution第二节（共5 小题；每小题3分，满分15分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer(温度计)for the temperature. this helps us decide what to wear. 36 we want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. we want it a certain hotness in the oven(烤箱). if we dont feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. we keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer. not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. we use a system called the fahrenheit (华氏)scale. but most other countries use the centigrade （摄氏）scale. both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 37 the most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury(水银)inside a clear glass tube. as mercury (or any other liquid) becomes hot, it expands. as it gets colder, it contracts(收缩). that is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 38 first, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. put the cap on the jar. then stick a plastic straw(吸管) through the nail hole. 39 finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. now you can see the water level easily. 40 as the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.a. we use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.b. thermometers measure temperature by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.c. now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.d. the water will rise in the straw. as the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.e. they label these in different ways. on the fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. on the celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.f. next, take wax(石蜡) (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal (把.粘住) them together.g. people use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world. 第三节：完型填空（每小题2分，共40分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a, b, c和d）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。zigfried, a little mouse, blew his breath on the frosty window of the farmhouse and rubbed it to see
