Some scientists say that animals in the ocean are increasingly threatened（威胁） by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affects（影响）sea animals comes from a number of human activities. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves.

Decibels(分贝) measured in water are different from those measured（测量）on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land caused pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect.

Some scientists have planned to set a noise limit of one hundred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have found that noises at that level can frighten and confuse(混淆) whales.

A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that loud noises can seriously hurt some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing whales in the area to lose their hearing. This seriously affected the whales’ ability to exchange information and find their way. Some of the whales even died. The explosions had caused their ears to bleed and become infected.

Many researchers whose work depends on ocean sounds disagree to a limit of one hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial（工业的）and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect（怀疑） that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want to stop noises from harming creatures in the ocean.

1.According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea animals?

A. The man-made noises.　　　　 　 B. The noises made by themselves.

C. The sound of earthquakes.　　 D. The sound of the ice-breaking.

2.Which of the following is discussed in the second paragraph(段落)?

A. Different places with different types of noises.

B. The human ears have feelings to all types of noises.

C. The same noise measured differently on land and in the ocean.

D. The ocean animal’s reaction to noises.

3. As to the influence of noises on whales, which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. They are deaf because of noises.

B. Noises at a certain level may hurt them.

C. They are easily confused by noises.

D. Noises will limit their ability to reproduce.

4. We can know from the passage that many scientists think that the noise limit(限制) of one hundred twenty decibels would __________.

A. stop them from doing their research work

B. benefit them a lot in their research work

C. do good to their health

D. increase the industrial output（产量）

5.According to the passage, what will scientists most probably do in the future?

A. They will try their best to make no noise.

B. They will work hard to cut down natural noises.

C. They will study the effect of different noises.

D. They will protect animals from harmful noises.

When the weather is hot， you go to a lake or an ocean. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel cool. Why? The sun makes the earth hot， but it can not make the water hot. Though the air over the earth becomes hot， the air over the water stays cool. The hot air over the earth goes up， then the cool air over the water moves in and takes the place of the hot air. When you are near a lake or an ocean， you feel the cool air when it moves in. You feel the wind and the wind makes you cool.

Of course， scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask “Why is the ocean full of salt？” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cool， it cracks (崩裂) ， and rain falls into the cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth and the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask “What happens to the salt in the ocean？ The ocean does not get saltier every year. “ scientists are not sure about the answer to the question.
