8、ent about the ABC Music.The top-selling album (唱片) Songs of the Humpback Whale was released in 1970. This collection of nature recordings changed the way many people thought about whales and eventually helped save thousands of whales lives.The album might never have been made if it hadnt been for a
9、sound engineer named Frank Watlington. In the 1960s, Watlington was making underwater recordings when he noticed some strange, deep sounds, which he realized were coming from whales.Watlington played the recordings for a pair of biologists named Roger and Katy Payne. When they listened, they were in
10、stantly hooked on the beauty of the whales voices.Katy Payne studied music as well as biology, and she was amazed by how the whales communicate like an opera singer. She also noticed another interesting detail: they had recognizable patterns. In biology terms, an animal call with a repeating pattern
11、 is called a song. The songs of whales are so complex that some scientists have even compared them to composers and poets.The Paynes thought that other people needed to hear the beauty of the whales songs, so Roger organized the recordings into an album. At the time when the album came out, whales w
12、ere often hunted and traded for money and some whale species were dying out. Most people had never thought of whales as creatures that could communicate through songs. But after hearing the album, many people began to think differently.The album led people to start the Save the Whales movement. Musi
13、cians began using whale songs in their music, and whales were included in movies and television shows. In 1982, the deep-sea whaling was banned. Before the ban, more than 50,000 whales per year were killed. After it, the number went down below 2,000.It might seem incredible that just one album could
14、 help save the lives of so many whales. But this one-of-a-kind album revealed secrets long hidden beneath the waves and allowed these amazing creatures to finally share their songs with the human world.4What is the purpose of the passage?ATo call on people to save whales.BTo prove that whales are bo

17、ians to work with scientists.Last Saturday, when my grandfather got frustrated at the name of the singer of a song, I grabbed my smartphone and found it in seconds. This astonished my grandfather, who didnt understand how Id checked the information so quickly. I laughed and explained, but afterwards
18、, it made me think about how much I depend on technology.When I reflected on its impact on my education, I saw that technology has been significant in many ways. Returning to the story of my grandfather, he had asked me more about how I used it and about university life. He said he thought we had an
19、 easy life compared to previous generations. I could see his point.Not only are we lucky enough to have the same educational benefits as those of previous generations, but we have so many more. We still have walk-in libraries; however, the only option for studying used to be sitting in these librari
20、es with as many books from your reading list as you could find, yet now a single search online can immediately provide access to a huge range of resources. Interaction between students and university staff is another area that has changed considerably. We can have face-to-face time with our tutors,
21、and also communicate using our electronic devices. The most popular means is via social media, and it has become unacceptable for messages to be unanswered for any length of time. While this puts an extra stress on the universitys academic support team, we students are greatly benefited.When we comp
22、are the student life of the past and the present, it is tempting to focus on the obvious differences in technology. In fact, students are doing what theyve always done: embracing the resources available and adapting them to work more efficiently and to live more enjoyably. The pace of change in tech
23、nology continuously gathers speed, so we have to value each innovation as it happens.8Why does the author mention the story of his grandfather?ATo share an interesting experience.BTo draw readers attention to the topic.CTo provide an example for his opinion.DTo arouse readers concern about a problem

25、o all inquiries from students.11What can be concluded from the last paragraph?AStudents should make full use of technology.BStudents should value the time and enjoy their life.CWe should take technological differences seriously.DWe should resist the temptation of up-coming innovation.Calling vegetab
26、les and fruits “ugly” can be a recipe for sales success, according to a new study.A French supermarket chain made international headlines when it began marketing misshapen produce as “ugly” in 2014. Since then, food stores around the world have launched campaigns to sell “imperfect produce”. Some ha
27、ve been successful, while others havent but until now, researchers hadnt adequately explained why consumers rejected imperfect produce, or what marketing approach was most likely to whet their appetites.The researchers conducted seven studies that tested the effects of “ugly” labeling by having part
28、icipants purchase produce at a farmers market and online, and by examining peoples impressions about misshapen foods. Interestingly, they found that consumers expected the imperfect produce to be less tasty and even less nutritious than more traditionally attractive foods.But its not all bad news fo
29、r unattractive foods. The researchers also found that when the produce is labeled “ugly”, consumer hesitancy disappears and its not because of humor or originality. Calling items “ugly” signals to consumers that the only difference between items is appearance, which makes them aware of their bias (偏
30、见) and significantly increases their willingness to buy the less attractive produce.“Were pointing to the source of the rejection,” explains John Meredith, the lead researcher. “It makes people aware of the limited nature of their objection to the unattractive produce and makes it clear to consumers
31、 that there are no other problems in the produce other than attractiveness.” The research also found consumers spent more on the misshapen produce labeled “ugly” instead of “imperfect”. And even though the ugly produce was sold at a 25 percent discount, it turned out to be more profitable for seller
32、s, as the cost of acquiring the ugly produce was lower. However, if the price reduction was too sharp, participants expected the “ugly” foods to be of low quality.12What is the new study mainly about?AFood quality.BConsumer demand.CMarketing approach.DBias against appearance.13What does the underlin
33、ed phrase “whet their appetites” in paragraph 2 refer to?ASatisfy their need to eat better.BStimulate their desire of buying.CEncourage them to risk trying out.DRaise their concerns about nutrition.14Why are people willing to buy ugly-labeled produce without hesitation?AThey are happy to spend less
34、and have more.BThey are curious about the special shapes of produce.CThey are attracted by the funny and creative idea of labeling.DThey are led to believe ugly produce has no quality problems.15Which way helps food sellers make more profit according to the study?ACall the ugly produce “ugly”.BLabel
35、 the ugly produce “imperfect”.CGroup the produce by its attractiveness.DPrice the ugly produce at a sharp discount.二、七选五Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. _16_ But since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily du
