24、 but they have never posed a threat to humans. However, since late July, the normally social animals have been intentionally attacking sailboats off the coasts of Spain and Portugal. The strange behavior first surfaced on July 29, 2020, when a 46-foot boat was repeatedly attacked for almost an hour
25、by nine orcas, causing the boat to rotate(旋转) 180 degrees and having its engine switched off. Since then, over 30 more similar incidents have been reported. On September 23, 2020, Spains government banned boats of less than 50 feet in length from sailing in the 60-mile stretch of the Atlantic coastl
26、ine between Ferrol and the Estaca de Bares Cape, where the attacks have been occurring. Researchers across the world are trying to explain the orcas behavior.

27、ales starving and unable to feed their babies. I saw them look at boats carrying fish.

The environmentalists believe the sudden increase in boat tra
28、ffic and fishing activities, after months of absence due to restrictions on human activity last spring, could also be contributing to the agitation. However, Alfredo Lpez, a biology professor in Galicia, Spain, thinks the attacks are defensive measures the orcas adopted to protect themselves against
29、 boat injuries. The researcher came to this conclusion after looking at the of the videos of a few incidents and noticing that two of the young killer whales involved had serious injuries. Hopefully, the experts will be able to find a way to restore the harmony between the animals and the humans soo

32、r Whales attacking Boats?C. How can we live in harmony with animals?D. Why are boats banned from sailing on the sea?DUS and Canadian researchers recently calculated the total amount of the worlds groundwater and estimated that it is equal to a lake 180 metres deep covering the entire Earth. This mak
33、es groundwater the largest active freshwater resource on the planet. The team also investigated its age. How did they do this?Humans introduced a convenient time signature on the Earth when we started testing atomic(原子的) weapons. This leaves a time stamp which can be found in water, rocks and living
34、 organisms. By seeing if radioactivity(放射性) from atomic bomb testing was present in the groundwater, the researchers could estimate that about 6% of this groundwater is younger than50 years old. If this water was spread evenly over the continents, then there is just three metres depth of modern grou
35、ndwater spread equally over the continents.It could be argued that if we use only this modem groundwater, then this is sustainable, as we know that it has been replaced ( or recharged ) by natural processes over the last 50years. But how quickly groundwater recharges changes over time. Water has to
36、reach the inside of rocks, either now or in the past. This means that the amount of rainfall has to be more than the amount of water evaporating(蒸发) from the land surface, and more than the amount of water used by all the plants. When this occurs, fresh water can recharge the groundwater from either
37、 water leaking from the beds of rivers or from rainwater that passes through the soil. In many parts of the world we know that groundwater recharge varies due to natural climate variability such as El Nino. Groundwater recharge will also change with global warming. 32. In order to know the age of gr
