CWarm-heartedDHard-workingCWhale researchers believe they have found a new way to measure the amount of stress felt by whales when they experience serious threats(威胁)，such as being hit by a ship，and they say the technique could help protect the huge sea creatures from dying offAmerican Rosalind Rolland is the lead scientist on the projectShe and her team are with the New England Aquarium in BostonMassachusettsThey measured stress hormones(荷尔蒙) by studying baleen，a substance(物质) found in the upper part of the mouth of some kinds of whaleShe explains that the baleen serves as a record that shows a spike in stress hormones when whales face dangers such as a changing climate and ship strikesScientists can then read these records，similar to reading the rings on a treeUnderstanding the information is important because whales who often feel stressed are less likely to be reproductive and more likely to become sickThat combination is not good for the whale population，which is already dangerously lowThe scientists did their work on a whale that had become trapped in fishing equipment, which some scientists estimate （估计）kills up to 300,000 whales and dolphins annually (每年)It was finally killed by Inuit hunters who found it trying to drag the fishing equipment. The hunters said the whale seemed to lack energyWhen scientists examined the dead whale，they found its mouth showed an increase in stress hormones 20 times greater than normalRegina Asmutis-Silvia is a biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation in MassachusettsShe didnt participate in the research，but she says it is important“We clearly understand that stress is bad for humansWe also need to understand that stress is bad for other animals, too,”she adds28What does the text mainly tell us?AThe dangers the whale often faces BA discovery to measure stress on whalesCA way to protect the mouth of the whaleDThe measures to stop sea life being hit29Which of the following can best replace“spike”underlined in Paragraph 2?ACrash BChange CRise DSlide30What may a whale living a stressful life be like?ACalm and fierce B Unhealthy and unable to reproduceCUneasy and energetic DSizeable and likely to lose appetite31Why does the author mention the words by Regina?ATo move on to another topic BTo tell the necessity of studying other animals.CTo stress the importance of the finding.DTo show the similarity between humans and animals.DResearchers in Singapore found that eating mushrooms (蘑菇) over twice per week could help prevent memory and language problems later in lifeAccording to the study，published in The Journal of Alzheimers Disease，there is a unique antioxidant(抗氧化物质) present in mushrooms that helps protect certain brain functionsResearchers observed 663 Chinese adults aged over 60 whose diets and lifestyles were tracked from 2011 to 2017In the study，the participants were asked how often they ate six different types of mushrooms：oyster，shiitake，white button，dried，golden and tinnedThe findings showed that eating more than two shares of mushrooms per week somehow lowered the chances of mild cognitive impairment，(MCI) by 50 against those who ate fewer than one shareMCI is a condition that can make people forgetful，affect their memory and cause problems with language，attention and finding the exact position of objects in spacesChanges in behavior can be not very noticeable and not serious enough to be known as dementia(痴呆) Participants who ate more mushrooms were found to perform better in thinking and processing exams and also exhibited a faster processing speedThe advantage was reportedly more apparent in those who ate more than two shares a week or more than 300 gramsThe scientists pointed out，however，that they had yet to build a direct link between the fungi(真菌)and brain functionThe researchers also acknowledged that since this study mainly relied on self-reported information on mushroom intake and other dietary factors, further studies may be requiredStill，the lead study author Lei Feng is encouraged by their findings. “This relevance is surprising and encouraging，”Lei saidMushrooms are one of the richest dietary sources of ergothioneine a substance which we humans cant make on our own32What aspect of research did researchers mainly in Paragraph 3?A.
