16、orce its way into the deepest forest, yet its not only humans that are bothered by the noise.Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has come across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization（发声）, like h
17、umans. Birds use sound to communicate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.Krause mentions a study of nightingales to clarify what he means. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise polluti
18、on standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists state that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, exposing the young to their enemies. One
19、 study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals（哺乳动物）too are affected. A recent study showed that nursing caribou responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.In some cases noise
20、 pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads（蟾蜍）and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony（同步；同步方式）so that no predator (their enemies) can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toads song, they lost their synchronicity, and it took
21、them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.According to Krause, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it wont help our lives either.”9. How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?A. They receive
22、less food. B. They cant sleep at night.C. They are often displaced. D. They cant hear their mothers.10. What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?A.

23、be unable to hunt in groups.11. What is the text mainly about?A. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife. B. The causes of noise pollution.C. Animals reaction to noises. D. The ways animals communicate with each other.DWhat should you think about in trying to find your career (职业)? You are probab
24、ly better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in a
25、t school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one o
26、f your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned to get to work on time, to follow instructions
27、and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all th
28、umbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic
29、about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.12. Which of the following best sums up (总结) the first paragraph?A. The importance of doing well at school.B. The importance of being good at all subjects.C. Using school performance to help to choose a career.D. The
