beaches and give birth to a single baby. the female seals avoid beaches where the water becomes deep very quickly because this lets sharks swim close to land and catch the seals.mothers stay with their babies for six weeks. during that entire time, they do not leave the beach even to eat. instead, they live off fat that they have stored up over the previous year and feed their babies with fat-rich milk. after six weeks, mothers go back to the sea. the young have to live on their own.human disturbance(打扰) has been regarded as the important factor in the decrease of the monk seals. in fact, if human come too near a mother seal too often, she will go out to the sea. unfortunately, this usually means death for the baby. it is now against the law for people to come within 100 yards of a seal on a beach.recent research has shown that the decrease in the hawaiian monk seal population is due to lack of survival of these seals at one of the most important breeding(繁殖) beaches at french frigate shoals. also, seals often get trapped in fishermen and by changes in weather patterns. if these threats(威胁) were not enough, during the breeding season, males will attack females until they are badly injured or finally killed.64. what can we learn about hawaiian monk seals?a. they are in danger of dying out.b. they spend most of the time on the beach.c. they are the largest animals on

looked after by its mother for 6 weeks66. it can be inferred from the text that_.a. sharks are a threat to hawaiian monk sealsb. male monk seals fight each other for females in the breeding seasonc. when disturbed by people, the mother seal will protect the baby seald. hawaiian monk seals give birth usually in july67. what are the last two paragraphs mainly about?a. ways to protect hawaiian monk seals。b. the struggle of hawaiian monk seals to survive.c. the reasons for the decline(减少) of hawaiian monk seals.d. the influence of climate change on hawaiian monk seals.d science, as we think, was born when the greek philosopher ( 希腊哲学家 ) thales ( about 640-546 b.c.) asked a difficult question: what makes up our universe?no one had a ready answer, so thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. he saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.other greek thinkers became interested in this question. they suggested other answers. one said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.the greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. but the list is much more complicated than the greeks realized. we now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.68. thales, the famous greek philosopher, died when he was about _. a. 106 years old b. 94years old c. 64 years old d. 46 years old69. from the passage we know that _. a. thales asked many questions b. greeks were
