resounding with joyous musica symphony of squeaking,chirping,clicking and splashing.These sounds are made by whales,and it is at long last that this unique underwater orchestra is being heard again.The return of the great whales in the eastern part of the North Pacific,in fact,is turning out to be one of the best environmental success stories.And this phenomenon is most evident all along the coast from Alaska to Baja,in California,and in Hawaii.The species of whales that migrates to Hawaii,coming all the way from Alaska,along the coast of central California,is the Pacific humpback whale(座头鲸).Their journey,which is a distance of 3,500 miles,from their summer home to Hawaii takes about 1 to 2 months.The whales form loose and large groups while travelling.The associations they form along the way do not last more than a few days.But one exception is the strong bond that mothers and calves have between each other which lasts for a long time.The warm waters of tropical Hawaii provide ideal conditions for breeding for the humpback.Many of the whales come here to breed calves while in Hawaii.The humpback is one of the most unique mammals because of the special talents it has.One of them is the ability to sing.They sing a large variety of complex,beautiful and long songs.During the breeding period,the male sings lengthy songs,which is thought to be related to mating,although it is not yet proved that it is used as a device to attract females.Although the females make sounds too,it is only the male that produces organized and lengthy songs,which can be even 20 minutes long and can be heard 20 miles away.21.The Pacific humpback whale comes to Hawaii to .A.give birth to their youngB.find more foodC.find their matesD.avoid the hot summer答案:A解析:细节理解题。从第三段的最后两句可知,夏威夷海水温暖,很适合座头鲸繁殖,这也是它们迁徙到此的原因。22.We can infer from the passage that .A.the humpback whale can only be seen in HawaiiB.the eastern part of the North Pacific has always been well protectedC.the humpback once disappeared in the eastern part of the North PacificD.it is not surprising that the songs of the humpback is being heard again答案:C解析:推理判断题。概括前两段的信息可知,座头鲸能够重新回到北太平洋的东部是环境保护的胜利,说明它们一度在这个地方消失过。23.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Only the male humpback sings.B.It is not certain why the humpback sings.C.The humpback sings only during the breeding period.D.The female humpback usually sings after the male.答案:B解析:细节理解题。文章最后一段说明,座头鲸发出叫声是为了吸引异性这一点还没有得到证实。24.The underlined word “calves” probably means .A.male whalesB.female whalesC.grown-up whalesD.baby whales答案:D解析:词义猜测题。从第三段最后分析,座头鲸到温暖的夏威夷是为了繁殖,再联系“mothers”一词可推断calves是“幼仔”的意思。BLondons Chinese community dates back to the 19th century,when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limehouse,east London.As time went on,other Chinese people came to this area and Limehouse began to be known as “Chinatown”.However,Londons Chinese community remained very small for many years:at the start of the 20th century,there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.After the Second World War,many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London.As Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war,they settled in a different areaa part of central London near Leicester Square.This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.At first,the new immigrants found it difficult to get jobs.In the 1950s,however,a small Chinese restaurant opened in London.Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful!Suddenly,Chinese restaurants and take-aways(外卖) started opening in every part of the city.Instead of too little work,the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much!They worked as cooks,managers or waiters.Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.As time went by,Londons Chinese community became more and more successful.The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard.And most went on to get highly paid jobs.Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts.Chinatown,however,is still as lively as ever.25.When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?A.In the 1950s.B.More than 200 years ago.C.After the Second World War.D.At the start of the 20th century.答案:B解析:细节理解题。由文章开头“datesbacktothe19thcentury”可推知伦敦的首批中国移民是在200多年前来到伦敦的。26.Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in 1950s?A.Because it was easy for them to get jobs there.B.Because Limehouse had been almost destroyed during the war.C.Because many British people enjoyed Chinese food.D.Because their children could study there and get highly paid
