Human activity is changing the surface and temperature of the planet. New research shows it is also changing the sound of the Earth’s seas. According to a study     1     (publish) in the magazine Science, the changes in the sounds of our seas and other waterways affect many sea animals.  

For fish, sound is probably a     2     (good) way to sense their environment than light. Sounds help fish and other sea animals survive. They depend on sounds to communicate. Sounds also help some sea animals find food and avoid their hunters.     3     addition, many sea animals use sounds to find good places to mate(交配). However, increasing noise from humans now     4     (make) it harder for these sea animals to hear each other. The noise comes from shipping traffic, motorized fishing ships, underwater oil and gas exploration, offshore     5    (construct), and other noisy human activities.  

For many sea species, their attempts     6     (communicate) are being masked by sounds     7     have been introduced by humans. Also, the general number of sea animals     8     (decrease) by about half since 1970.  

Effects of noise on animals    9     (live) in the sea aren’t well understood. However, some studies suggest that noise may bring about hearing loss. The stress from human noise might also affect the immune system—an animal’s     10     (nature) defence system.

3 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Do you forget to bring your homework to school?” my sixth⁃grade math teacher asked. I nodded my head and said in a low voice, “Yes, sir.” What a mistake I had made! I had completed my math homework. But before I left home and headed for school, I forgot to put it into my schoolbag.

“You will get a zero then,” my math teacher said. I was shocked. I had never received a zero in a math class before. But the school had rules, and the teacher had to let everyone follow them. I was immediately worried about my final math average, which was based on my homework and the tests. Would I get a C or even a D at the end of the term? If so, what should I do?

My next class was a PE class. As I walked down the hall with my classmates, all those feelings rushed out in hot tears. I wiped them away as quickly as I could. But when we entered the gym and sat down in our spots on the floor, it was clear to everyone around me that I had been crying.

My PE teacher, Ms. Brown, was an athletic teacher, often with a smile on her face. Her class was a good mix of calisthenics (健美操) and games that can give us all a good workout. And Ms. Brown was nice and compassionate (有同情心的). She loved her students and often came to help if the students were in trouble.

During that PE class, my mind was affected by the math homework and I was worried about my final math average. So I failed to devote my attention to Ms. Brown’s direction. And clearly, I was sad. I guessed that Ms. Brown found there was something wrong with me. When it was near the end of the PE class, she walked to me.

Paragraph 1:

She sat down to comfort me.

7 . On June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58. The next day, a headline in The New York Times read: “Death of the Great Novelist...Mourned by the People of Two Continents.”    1     Even today, the British novelist is loved by readers all over the world. Dickens created some of the most unforgettable characters in English literature. You must have heard of or even read some of his novels: Oliver Twist and A Tale of Two Cities.    2    Since 1897, there have been more than 300 film and television adaptations of Dickens’ works.  

Natalie McKnight is a professor of humanities who studies Dickens and his works. She explains why the novelist has remained so popular. One important reason, she says, is that Dickens wrote from his heart.    3    Some of his works were written to make every reader think about how they could make a difference to their society. People always enjoy works that make them laugh out loud, cry and think, as Dickens’ novels do. Many other novelists in the 19th century wrote entertaining works.    4    Dickens wrote about situations and emotions that still interest people today.    5    His works led to many important social changes.  

It’s meaningful to remember this great writer. Will you read(or reread)some of his famous works?

A．Dickens’ early life was very hard.

B．Their works became the best sellers of that time.

C．The headline was not overstating the fame of Dickens.

D．A Tale of Two Cities has been sold more than 200 million copies.

E．He tried hard to produce emotional effects among his readers.

F．He used his pen to fight social inequality and give voice to the poor.

G．However, few of them worked as hard as Dickens to attract readers’ minds.

8 . Science fiction writers create an imaginary world. The way things work in your imaginary world will be based on actual science. So it’s important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you’re writing about humans living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.

Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary world. And you have to follow them. If humans have evolved to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can’t drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. If your robots write poetry but not fiction, then you can’t throw a novelist robot into Chapter 8. The issue here is maintaining your readers’ trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, your readers’ reaction might be, “What the hell!” The imaginative spell is broken. You’ve pulled the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.

Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its world for yourself in great detail. Decide: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in the new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don’t have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let your readers know enough to understand what’s going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.

When you are writing, remember to make it feel real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it’s like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they’re actually there.

1. What’s the relationship between actual science and science fiction?

A．Science fiction promotes the development of actual science.

B．Science fiction often reflects the development of actual science.

C．Actual science provides basic principles for science fiction.

D．Actual science limits the imagination described in science fiction.

2. How is the second paragraph mainly developed?

A．By making comparisons.	B．By analysing causes.
C．By following the time order.	D．By giving examples.

3. What can we know from the passage?

A．Readers of science fiction actually pretend the writers’ rules are true.

B．It is necessary to do some scientific experiments before writing science fiction.

C．It is more difficult to write science fiction than ordinary detective novels.

D．It is great to leave some contradictions in your science fiction.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

A．How to do scientific research.	B．How to write science fiction.
C．What to expect from science fiction.	D．How to raise interest in science.
