27、 pollution cause a real threat to sea creatures, climate change is not the primary driver threatening to cause the extinction (灭绝) of large ocean animals. It is humans that are threatening large sea creatures primarily by hunting and fishing them.Researchers findings reflect a phenomenon experienced

28、 by ancient land ecosystems (生态系统). These losses in the ocean are paralleling what humans did to land animals some 50,000 to 10,000 years ago, when we wiped out around half of the big-bodied mammals on Earth, like mammoths, mastodons. saber-tooth cats and the like.The increasing threat to large grou

29、ps of sea animals is a recent phenomenon. The researchers made this discovery by comparing characteristics of nearly 2,500 extinct sea vertebrates and mollusks alongside others currently in danger of extinction. They found that smaller sea animals were a little more likely than large ones to be kill

30、ed off during five previous mass extinction eventsthe most recent of which was associated with a small planets strike some 65 million years ago.What was surprising to the researchers was that they did not see a similar kind of pattern in any of the previous mass extinction events that they studied.T

31、he study shows that a sixth mass extinction, which may already be underway, could kill off larger-bodied animals while leaving smaller ones behind. That could have a terrible long-term impact.Such removal of the largest animals from the modern oceans, which never happened in the history of animal li

32、fe, may disturb the order of ecosystems for millions of years even at levels of taxonomic loss far below those of previous mass extinctions.This news should serve as a wake-up call for humans to fundamentally change the way they manage the oceans. That is to say, it is a warning of what will happen

33、if we dont get our act together.Limiting industrialization of the oceans may be necessary to give threatened animals time and space to recover. Most whaling has been banned since the 1980s. We have brought gray whales back from the edge of extinction and blue whales are coming back too.The researche

34、rs point out that cutting back on carbon emissions (排放) will also be necessary to slow extinctions.1、Paragraph 2 is intended to tell us that _.Aboth land animals and sea animals die out because of humansBbig-bodied animals were killed as they were threat to humansChumans tended to kill animals on la

37、s CO2 into the air.DTo reasonably keep control of the trade in them.24（8分）Over seven months have passed since Panamanian officials launched an expansion of the world famous Panama Canal. Officials agreed to the expansion so that many of the worlds largest cargo ships (货船) could easily pass through t

38、he canal. Yet the $ 5.25-billion project has problems. It says ships still continue to rub against the canals walls and wear out its defenses designed to protect both shipping and the waterway.A dangerous systemThe canal links two oceans-the Atlantic and the Pacific-through a system of locks (船闸). T

39、he locks are like steps. They raise and lower ships from one part of the waterway to another on their trip from ocean to ocean.With the old locks, which are still in use, large ships would be tied to powerful engines on both sides. These engines help to keep the ships in the center of the canal. In

40、the new locks, the ships are tied to tugboats (拖船). One tugboat is tied to the front of the ship, with the other tied to the back. These boats then guide the ships through the canal.At first, pilots of the cargo ships and tugboat operators would sometimes try to rub the boats against the canal walls

41、 as a way to keep the ships straight. But this caused damage to rubber padding (垫料) lining the walls.Not enough trainingEven before the expanded canal opened in June 2016, tugboat operators had expressed concern about the new system. Many asked for more training. The fears and dangers remain, althou

42、gh the boats are going through.The Panama Canal Authority reports that, between June 2016 and January 2017, there were only 15 incidents that resulted in damage to locks or ships. That represents about 2 percent of the 700 times ships that have sailed through the expanded canal.Pilots have argued th

43、ey should be replaced with a system of floating bumpers (减震) like those used in some European locks. Officials say they plan to continue operating with the current system of defenses, but changes could happen in the future.1、What is the main problem with the newly expanded Panama Canal?AIt has cost

44、too much money to buildBThe operators of the tugboats fear to work in it.CIt is too crowded for the largest ships to pass through.DIt still brings damage to the passing ships and its own defenses.2、What is the difference between the new locks and the old ones?AThe old locks dont need rubber padding

45、as defenses.BThe new locks need tugboats tied to both sides of the ships.CThe new locks are easier for the largest ships to pass through the canal.DThe old locks need powerful engines to drag the ships through the canal.3、What is the Panama Canal Authoritys attitude towards the expanded canal?ACauti

46、ous. BCritical.CPositive. DDoubtful.4、What can we learn about the current system of defenses?ANo ships shall rub against the canal walls to protect it.BNothing will be done at present to improve it.CMore training will be given to pilots for it.DA new system will replace it.25（10分）A company has desig
