From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medication to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were fastened to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream.

Website D If a noisy neighbor is blasting music at all hours of the day and night, drowning out your phone conversations and interrupting your sleep, you can call the police. But what is a whale to do? Natural noise from waves, wind, rain and even earthquakes is mon in oceans. Unfortunately, manmade noise from oil and gas drilling, sonar, and ships is also present. Low frequency noise has doubled off the California coast every decade since the nieen sixties. The main reasons are ships’ propellers(螺旋槳 ). They not only generate continuous low frequency sound, some propellers cavitate(形成氣穴 ), which means they create air bubbles that collapse, creating loud popping sounds. Whales use low frequency calls to municate across thousands of miles of ocean. They are threatened by noise pollution because it can prevent them from contacting each other and from locating their foods. Endangered humpback and right whales, which use fibrous baleen to strain food from the water, are the most at risk. Scientists studying right whales off Canada’s east coast have discovered that whales are sending louder calls through the water to make themselves heard. Because they invest more energy in making calls, they have less energy available for finding food and mating. Other scientists measuring whale calls against background noise pollution have discovered that right whales have lost about eighty percent of their normal munication area. This could seriously affect survival of this already threatened species. Scientists don’t have badges and guns, but they are trying to correct the noise pollution problem. By tracking ships and marine mammals and understanding how noise travels, they are creating sound maps. They hope to get shipping lanes moved so that the noise pollution ships create will not overlap with areas most important to the whales. 71. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Whales are in danger because of the noise. B. Noise pollution is affecting whales. C. Natural noise is good for whales. D. How to protect whales endangered. 72.

Scientists have worked out a plan to protect the whales. 74. According to scientists, ________. A. Right whales off the Californian coast have been in danger because of the loss of the energy. B. Right whales cannot find food and mate for they lose a lot of living area. C. There are about 20% of the normal munication areas still available for the right whales. D. The right whales always invest most of their energy for making calls. 75. According to the description of whales, we can know that ________. A. The noise made by the ships has a
