AOne day, an ant(蚂蚁) was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the bank(河岸) but fa

21、iled. The poor ant was tired but she didnt give up and then a bird saw her.Out of pity, the bird threw her a piece of grass, which supported her like a boat, so the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking quietly wi

22、th a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill it. But when he raised his gun to fire, the ant bit(咬) him in the foot. The man stopped to see what had hit him.

25、arn from the passage that _ .A. we shouldnt be lazy B. we shouldnt have pity on others C. we should study hard D. we should help people when they are in trouble BSome scientists say that animals in the oceans are increasingly threatened by noise pollution caused by human beings. The noise that affec

26、ts sea creatures comes from a number of human activities. It is caused mainly by industrial underwater explosions, ocean drilling, and ship engines. Such noises are added to natural sounds. These sounds include the breaking of ice fields, underwater earthquakes, and sounds made by animals themselves

27、. Decibels (分贝) measured in water are different from those measured on land. A noise of one hundred and twenty decibels on land causes pain to human ears. In water, a decibel level of one hundred and ninety-five would have the same effect. Some scientists have proposed setting a noise limit of one h

28、undred and twenty decibels in oceans. They have observed that noises at that level can frighten and confuse whales. A team of American and Canadian scientists discovered that louder noises can seriously injure some animals. The research team found that powerful underwater explosions were causing wha

29、les 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 object to a limit of one

30、hundred and twenty decibels. They say such a limit would mean an end to important industrial and scientific research. Scientists do not know how much and what kinds of noises are harmful to ocean animals. However, many scientists suspect that noise is a greater danger than they believed. They want t

31、o prevent noises from harming creatures in the ocean. 61. According to the passage, which of the following is increasingly dangerous to sea creatures? A. The man-made noises. B. The noises made by themselves. C. The sound of earthquakes. D. The sound of the ice-breaking. 62. Which of the following is discussed in the third paragraph? A. Different places with different types of noises. B. The very human ears sensitive to all types of noises. C. The same noise measured differently on land and
