大意題。概括文章第一段可得出答案。觀鯨船所產(chǎn)生的噪音給虎鯨之間的信息交流造成了困難。A項所涉及的范圍過大；B項僅僅是文章的細(xì)節(jié)；C項與原文信息不符，因為文章最后說明虎鯨數(shù)量下降的原因不明。因此選D項。2．答案與解析：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第五段說明，因為受噪音干擾，現(xiàn)在虎鯨“唱”的時間比原來長。3．答案與解析：C推理判斷題。文章介紹了觀鯨船所產(chǎn)生的噪音給虎鯨之間的交流造成了困難，從文章最后的敘述看，虎鯨數(shù)量在下降，而科學(xué)家也不明白其中原因，顯然作者對虎鯨的生存狀況感到“擔(dān)憂”。4．答案與解析：C推理判斷題。從文中第三段和倒數(shù)第三段可以看出鯨是靠聲波交流捕獵和繁殖信息的，如果這些事情被阻止了，鯨的數(shù)量就會下降。B【語篇解讀】本文為記敘文，講述了17歲的美國少年ZacSunderland駕駛著他的帆船歷時13個月，航行28000海里的故事。5．答案與解析：B數(shù)字計算題。根據(jù)第一段中的“completeahard13-monthvoyage”和第四段中的“SunderlandleftMarinaDelRey...on
