But these sounds have begun evolving (逐渐演变). Since at least the 1960s, the pitch (音高) of Antarc

5、tic blue whales has downshifted. Scientists have theories as to why: all involving humans. The deepening of their sounds is not unique. Many blue whales around the world have also dropped their pitch. In the study last year that analyzed more than 1 million individual recordings of whale calls, pitc

6、h shifts were found across the species, and among populations (种群) that dont necessarily interact with one another. This is to say, whatever has caused the change doesnt seem to have a specific geographic origin. The underwater noises caused by ocean traffic and at-sea industries might seem likely c

7、riminals. However, scientists have identified lowered pitch even across populations of whales that live in seas without major shipping routes. One possible explanation for the change is the achievements of global conservation efforts. As their populations grow, the whales may have decreased their vo

8、lume because they are more likely to be communicating over short distances. Last years study of whale calls also suggests a threatening reason for the drop in pitch, however. Perhaps whales dont need to be so loud because sound waves travel farther in oceans made acidic by the absorption of carbon d

9、ioxide. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, meanwhile, may also indirectly influence whale voices in other ways. A recent study shows that, during the summer, the whales must use their top volume to make themselves heard in the cracking ice a natural sound increased by unnatural processes, as rising t

18、究发现,音调变化现象遍及整个物种中,也存在于那些之间并没有必要沟通的种群中。故选A。2.考查细节理解。由第四段中的One possible explanation. global conservation efforts和第五段中的Perhaps whales dont need. by the absorption of carbon dioxide可知,全球保护行动以及酸性海水是鲸鱼声调变化的两个原因。故选B。3.考查词义猜测。文章主要讲述了鲸鱼叫声音调改变的几个原因。 最后一段讲了全球变暖导致冰融化同样也是动物声调变化的原因。由此可推断modulate是改变的意思。故选D。4.考查推理判

19、断。文章讲述了鲸鱼叫声音调改变的几个原因,而所有的原因均与人类有关,不管是人类的保护行动,还是人类活动导致的全球变暖对动物均有影响。因此人类和自然并非是相互独立的,而是相互依存的。故选B。 四、答案：have had; an; was made; whose; into; disposed; shapes; heavily; to be seen; flattening解析：考查动词时态。在句型it is the first/ second/. that.中,that从句使用现在完成时,故填have had。 考查冠词。分析句子结构可知,此处为感叹句what +a(n) + adj. + n.

20、 +主语+谓语。change为名词,表示泛指,且extraordinary的发音以元音音素开头,故填an。 考查动词的时态、语态。主语the familiar business和谓语make之间是被动关系,且根据句意可知,应使用一般过去时,故填was made。 考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the sun,故用whose指代先行词,作定语,并和light构成所属关系。 考查介词。changeinto. 是固定短语,意为“把变为”,故填into。 考查非谓语动词。此处为with复合结构,宾语the faintly flushed snow和动词dispose是逻辑上的动宾关系,故填过去分词表示被动。 考查名词复数。shape在此作可数名词,并根据之前的many可知,应使用名词复数形式shape。 考查副词。修饰动词应用副词,故填heavily。 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,and后的并列句中,已有谓语has become, still. air应是非谓语结构作定语修饰主语weathercock,且主语和see构成逻辑上的动宾关系,表示将来的动作,故填to be seen。 考查非谓语动词。see sb. doing sth.意为“看到某人正在做某事”,故填现在分词flattening作宾语补足语。
