Under the sea李仕才一、阅读理解When I was in the sixth grade, I became a big K-pop (Korean pop) fan. Almost half the students at my middle school were Korean and almost all of them listened to Korean music, especially K-pop. I had never been interested in it. It sounded too strange to me, but all changed in the sixth grade when the huge hit Gee came out. All my friends were singing the chorus and imitating the dance. Gee fever sucked me into K-pop. It became my life. I listened to K-pop non-stop and filled my iPod with it. In a month, I had memorized the names of countless members of boy and girl bands and stuck pictures of my singer "boyfriends" on my walls. I would ditch my weekend art and math classes and go to concerts with my friends. This would always result in my mom shouting that I was wasting my life. My mom thought K-pop was trash and wanted me to like classical music as she did. But classical music made me sleepy.Every day during middle school I went to a K-pop gossip and news site called . On this site I learned that I could audition(试音) to become a singer in a K-pop band. The shining clothes, thousands of screaming fans and hearing them chant my name seemed much more exciting than being a middle school student. Becoming a K-pop star was all I wanted.I started watching the audition videos of current stars and reading blog posts from people who had auditioned. They explained much about the audition. This made me want to audition even more. After watching those videos, I saw that most of the current stars weren’t that amazing in their auditions and that each singer had improved so much through training. I had never had vocal lessons(声乐课) and didn’t think of myself as a good singer. "But if they could do it, I could do that too," I thought.1.What caused the author to fall in love with K-pop?A. Her Korean origin.B.A new style of dance.C. Her friends’ influence.D. The popularity of Gee.2.The underlined word "ditch" in Paragraph 1 probably means "________".A. forgetB. attendC. ignoreD. hate3.What do we know about the author’s mother?A. She has no interest in music.B. She has a low opinion of K-pop.C. She doesn’t care about her daughter.D. She prefers K-pop to classical music.4.After visiting , the author ________.A. dreamed of becoming a pop singerB. called the manager of the news siteC. contacted people who had auditionedD. knew she would never become a singer【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。
课时作业(三十三)Ⅰ.阅读理解[2017·甘肃诊断性测试]I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg last night,a distance of about eighty miles.It was late.Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I was clinching (紧握) my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway,I came to a crossroads with the traffic light.I was alone on the road by now,but as I approached the light,it turned red and I braked to stop.I looked left,right and behind me.Nothing.Not a car,no suggestion of headlights,but there I sat,waiting for the light to change,the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light.I was not afraid of being arrested,because there were obviously no police around,and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night,the question of why I'd stopped for that light came back to me.I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other.It's not only the law,but it's an agreement we have,and we trust each other to honor it:we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trusted each other to do the right thing,isn't it?And we do,too.Trust is our first tendency.We have to make a deliberate decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious or skeptical.Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing,too,because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual trust,not distrust.This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other most of the time.We do what we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up; we deliver when we say we'll deliver; and we pay when we say we'll pay.We trust each other in these matters,and when we don't do what we've promised,it's far from the normal.It happens often that we don't act in good faith and in a trustworthy manner,but we still consider it unusual,and we're angry or disappointed with those badly-behaved people.Anyway,I was so proud of myself for stopping for the red light that night.1.Why did the author feel impatient while driving?A.Because he had already driven for a long time.B.Because it was too far away from his destination.C.Because something urgent happened in his family.D.Because he could not overpass a truck on a narrow road.2.The author stopped at the traffic light because__________.A.there were passers-by crossing the roadB.some policemen were on duty just at that pointC.the trust between people influenced the authorD.there was potential danger3.What would happen if people didn't trust each other in most cases?A.All the things would run normally.B.The social system would be thrown into disorder.C.The social traditions would be abandoned.D.Strict rules and laws would be made.4.What is the theme of the passage?A.Mutual trust is the best policy.B.A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.C.Actions speak louder than words.D.Among the blind the one-eyed is the king.答案:[解题导语]有一次,作者在本可以闯红灯的情况下却选择了等待,这次经历让他想到,整个社会的构建依赖于人与人之间的相互信任.1.D 解析:细节理解题.根据文章第一段第三句Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road...可知,作者被一辆慢行的卡车挡住了前进的道路,因此而变得不耐烦.故选D项.2.C 解析:细节理解题.根据文章第四段第二、三句...it's part of an agreement we all have with each other...we trust each other...可知,作者没有闯红灯的原因在于“……因为那是我们每个人之间的一种契约……我们互相信任…… (不闯红灯)”.故选C项.根据第二段最后一句中的the only human可知,A项“有路人在过马路” 错误;根据第三段中的there were obviously no police around可知,B项“有警察在那里值班” 错误;根据第三段中的there certainly would have been no danger可知,D项“有潜在的危险” 错误.3.B 解析:推理判断题.根据文章最后一段第二句This whole thing around us would fall apart if we didn't trust each other...可知,当我们彼此不信任时,我们周围的一切都将土崩瓦解,即B项“社会系统将会陷入混乱”.故选B项.4.A 解析:主旨大意题.通读全文可知,本文的主旨在于强调是互相信任维护了社会的秩序.故A项“互相信任才是上策” 作为文章标题最佳.B项意为“一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林 (到手的才是好的)”;C项意为“事实胜于雄辩”;D项意为“在盲人中间,独眼人是国王”.故选A项.Ⅱ.阅读填空[2017·湖南四校联考]I just realized that while children are dogs—loyal and affectionate—teenagers are cats.__1__You feed it,train it,and boss it around.It puts its head on your knee and gazes at you as if you were a Rembrandt Painting.It bounds indoors with enthusiasm when you call it.However,around age 13,your adoring little puppy (child) turns into a big old cat (teenager).Then when you tell it to come inside,it looks amazed,as if wondering who died.Instead of following your doorsteps,it disappears.__2__ Not realizing that the dog is now a cat,you think something must be desperately wrong with it.Since you're the one who raised it,you assume that you did something wrong.Now you're dealing with a cat.Filled with guilt and fear,you redouble your efforts to make your pet behave.__3__Call it,and it runs way.Tell it to sit,and it jumps on the counter.Instead of continuing to act like a dog owner,you can learn to behave like a cat owner.Put a dish of food near the door,and let it come to you.__4__You sit still,and it will come,seeking that warm,comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten.Be there to open the door for it.One day your grown-up child will walk into the kitchen,give you a big kiss and say, “You've been working hard all day.Let me get those dishes for you.”__5__A.It's so easy to be a dog owner.B.Children as cats can turn to their parents.C.You won't see it again until it gets hungry.D.Then you'll realize your cat is a dog again.E.Teenagers can understand and appreciate their parents' love.F.But remember that a cat needs your help and your affection,too.G.However,all the efforts made before now produce the opposite of the desired result.答案:[解题导语]儿童时期的孩子们就像小狗,忠实而且充满深情,然而青少年时期的孩子们开始叛逆,变得更像猫.如何巧妙地与这两个年龄段的孩子们打交道呢?本文给出了一些建议.1.A 解析:根据第二段中的However,around age 13,your adoring little puppy (child) turns into a big old cat (teenager).可知,此段的前四句描述的是孩子在儿童时期的情况.空格后的三句话表明“孩子在儿童时期很容易与人相处”,故选A项 (作小狗的主人很容易) .2.C 解析:空格前面的句子指出“孩子没有尾随你,而是跑开了”.从文章的连贯性来看,C项 (直到它饿了的时候,你才会再见到它) 符合语境,是对大约13岁的孩子们出现的情况的描述.3.G 解析:空格前的句子表明“你内心充满自责和害怕,加倍努力来管束自己的孩子”,再根据空格后的“你喊它,而它却跑开了.你让它坐下,它却跳到了柜台上”,由此可知选G项 (但是,你之前对孩子所做的一切努力的结果却与预期的恰恰相反),空后的句子是对G项中的opposite的解释说明.4.F 解析:根据空格后面的You sit still,and it will come,seeking that warm,comforting lap it has not entirely forgotten. (你坐着不动,它就会来到你身边,寻找还没有完全被遗忘的、温暖的、给人安慰的腿作为依靠) 可推断出应选F项 (但是,记住猫也需要人的帮助和关爱) .5.D 解析:空格前的...walk into the kitchen,give you a big kiss and say... (……走进厨房,给你一个甜蜜的吻,并且说……) 表明,此时的孩子已经从内心接受了你对他们表达爱的方式,又回到了从前爱你的状态.故D项符合语境.Ⅲ.语法填空[2017·广西自治区一检]Human potential is unlimited.Unlike computers,you'll never come across a situation 1.__________your brain says the hard drive is full.You can constantly push your limits,2.__________ (reach) greater heights.3.__________ (unfortunate),many do not make good use of their true potential,and lay it to waste by engaging in tasks that are a poor use of their time and energy.Here 4.__________ (be) two ways to live below your true potential:1.Blame the past instead of focusing 5.__________the present.Some people spend their lives living in the past.They regret about what they could have done.6.__________,the past is the past,and no matter how much time we spend thinking about it,it doesn't change anything.2.Set small goals.Many people set small goals because they're afraid 7.__________ (fail).Actually 8.__________they're really afraid of is to realize that they've always had all the power to achieve everything they want and that they have wasted their own time and many 9.__________ (dream).Stop settling for lessand set your highest goals today.You owe it to 10.__________ (you).答案:[解题导语]人的潜能是无限的,但很多人却没能充分利用自己的潜能,本文介绍了两种埋没潜能的做法.1.where 解析:考查定语从句.设空处引导定语从句,先行词是situation,且设空处在从句中作状语,故用关系副词where引导.2.reaching 解析:考查非谓语动词.句意:你可以持续地挑战你的极限,达到更高的高度.分析句式结构可知,此处应用非谓语动词,句子主语you和reach之间是主动关系,故应用现在分词作状语.3.Unfortunately 解析:考查词性转换.句意:不幸的是,很多人没有充分利用他们真正的潜能,并从事一些不需要太多时间和精力的任务而浪费了潜能.设空处位于句首作状语,修饰一整句话,应用副词.故填Unfortunately.4.are 解析:考查动词的时态和主谓一致.句意:以下是两种会让你的潜能无法发挥出来的生活方式.此处讲的是一般情况,应用一般现在时;句子主语是two ways,故谓语动词也应用复数.故填are.5.on/upon 解析:考查固定搭配.句意:总是把责任归于过去,而不着眼于当下.focus on/upon意为“集中 (注意力、精力等) 于”,是固定搭配.故填on或upon.6.However 解析:考查副词.句意:但是,过去已然过去,无论我们花费多少时间来想过去,它也不会改变任何事情.根据句意可知此处表示转折,故用副词However.7.to fail 解析:考查非谓语动词.句意:许多人喜欢设立小的目标,因为他们害怕失败.be afraid to do sth.意为“害怕做某事”,为固定搭配.故填to fail.8.what 解析:考查主语从句.句意:实际上,他们真正害怕的却是意识到他们一直有能力去做他们想做的所有事情,而他们已浪费了他们自己的时间和很多梦想.分析句式结构可知,设空处引导主语从句,且从句中缺少宾语,故用what引导.9.dreams 解析:考查名词单复数.句意见上一题解析.dream意为“梦想”,是可数名词,而many修饰可数名词复数,故填dreams.10.yourself 解析:考查代词.句意:这是你欠自己的一个目标.句子主语是You,设空处与主语同指一人,应用反身代词.故填yourself.Ⅳ.短文改错I used to seeing an old man seated beside the road at my way to school.Whether it was raining or hot outside,and he sat there every day.What he does was to wave at everyone who passed by.One day he remembered I had a beach umbrella at home,so I turned around,getting the umbrella and took it to him.He jumped with joy.In the following six month,I saw him waving at people under an ter,I told that the old man had passed away.How I wish he could live longer,for his wavingmade everyone else's days more pleasantly.。

It's not what you look at that matters;it's what you see.—Henry David ThoreauSlow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission:help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.Why slow?When people look slowly at a piece of art,they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And that's an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.How does it work?One day each year,people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.That's it.Simple by design,the goal is to focus on the art.In fact,Slow Art Day works quite well this way.By the numbersOver 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents.700 venues(museums,galleries,artist studios,sculpture parks,public art sites,etc.)have hosted Slow Art Day events.Participants love Slow Art DayFeedback on this simple event has been overwhelmingly positive.Here's a sample:“I loved taking the time to just‘be’ with the works, particularly pieces I might otherwise walk by.It's a much better way of visiting the art museum than the usual idle ramble.Discussion afterwards was fun,interesting,informative and eyeopening.I look forward to doing it again.”Slow Art Day 2017 is Saturday,April 8,in museums and galleries worldwide.Join us and experience art differently.1.The author quotes Thoreau's words at the beginning to ________.A.arouse readers' interest in artB.introduce the topic of the textC.stress the importance of lookingD.illustrate the joy of art appreciation2.A typical slow art activity ________.A.lasts about fifty minutes when people look at art works criticallyB.encourages people to see art for themselves and discuss with expertsC.organizes people to look at art on their own and talk about their experience D.inspires people to make discoveries about art works and create their own works 3.What can we learn about Slow Art Day from the text?A.The year of 2017 will see the eighth Slow Art Day.B.It happens once a year in all museums and galleries worldwide.C.It has become an art festival celebrated on all seven continents.D.Slow Art Day events have been held in over 1,200 different places.4.According to the text,the author ________.A.has conducted a survey on Slow Art DayB.strongly recommends Slow Art Day eventsC.sees the good and bad sides of Slow Art DayD.is frequently involved in Slow Art Day events【解题导语】本文是说明文,介绍了慢艺术日(Slow Art Day)的一些情况。
Unit 3 Under the sea完形填空之利用语境解题方法指导做完形填空题时牢记上下文的关联和语境暗示对解题会很有帮助。
上下文是形成语境的基础,做题时要学会瞻前顾后,做到词不离句、句不离段、段不离文。
因为有时如果单独看空格,看似几个选项填入空格都没有错,句子也通顺,但结合全文内容来理解,就只有一个最佳答案。
像这篇完形填空的第1题,下文明显出现了treatment,还有第11题和第12题,这两题关联很大,是相辅相成的。
14题和上文的last swimmer相对应。
典例引领 (2016天津)The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.Cathy suffered some terrible 1 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 2 became healthy.Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 3 our local swim team.She practiced hard and finally 4 it. The team practice, 5 ,was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly 6 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 7 her from it all.But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 8 to go!I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to9 and insisted she go.From that day on,Cathy kept swimming and didn’t10 a single practice. She had a 11 intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this 12 human being with a passion and a mission. There were moments of 13 of course:often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a14 —ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to 15 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 16 ,“The highest honor goes toCathy!”Looking around, he continued,“Cathy has inspired us with her17 and enthusiasm.18 skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”It was the greatest 19 of my daughter’s life.

精美语篇The sea near my hometown has been polluted badly—water is black and a lot of rubbish is floating on the sea. As a result, we often find dead fish on the beach. What's worse, many sea animals are dying out. I think it's human beings who are responsible for the result. First, tourists often throw rubbish everywhere. Second, the factories near the sea always dump polluted water directly into the sea. Nowpeople are afraid to swim in the sea. It's time for us to make people fully awareof the importance of protecting the sea.

The culprit is climate change, and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least f ive species of rabbit in the US.Take the Lower Keys Marsh rabbit, for instance. An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys, this species of cottontail is a great swimmer—it lives on the islands!—but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising sea levels. According to the Center for Biological Diversity, an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9meter rise would wipe out their habitat(栖息地)completely.The snowshoe hare, on the other hand, has a color issue. Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer, each designed to give them better cover from predators(捕食者). As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country, however, more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring, making them an easier mark for predators. Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight, but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt qu ick enough to survive is a big question. The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down.American pikas or rock rabbits, a relative of rabbits and hares, might be the first of these species to go extinct due to climate change. About 78 inches long, pikas live high in the cool, damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains. As global temperatures rise, they would naturally migrate(迁移) to higher ground—but they already occupy the mountaintops. They can't go any higher. The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat heats up.The volcano rabbit has the same problem. These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico, and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters, but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher, so they are stuck in the middle. Scientists are concerned about their populations.Native to the US, pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West. They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world. Their habitats have been destroyed by development. Several populations, such as the Columbia Basin pygmy, almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs. Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators, but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed.All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter.36.The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to ________.A.show the importance of Easter DayB.introduce the issue about bunniesC.remind people of Easter traditionsD.discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies37.The word “culprit”(Paragraph 2)is closest in meaning to ________.A.criminal B.judge C.victim D.producer38.According to the passage, some rabbits can now be easily discovered by predators because they ________.A.are exposed to more skillful huntersB.have moved to habitats with fewer plantsC.haven't adapted themselves to climate changeD.can't change their fur color into white in the fall and the spring39.The problem faced by volcano rabbits and rock rabbits is that ________.A.both are affected by less snowB.both are affected by rising sea levelsC.neither can find enough foodD.neither can migrate to higher places40.Which best describes the writer's tone in the passage?A.Approving. B.Concerned.C.Enthusiastic. D.Doubtful.Ⅳ.短文填词The Qingdao Underwater World 41.o________ a breathtaking view of a marine world. The underwater world 42.c________ of several interesting underwater landscapes.43.________ (常见的) marine life like starfish, sea turtles, and small sharks44.________ be seen here.

He paid annual visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty inthe depths of the pure sea.Once, with his underwater telescope and flashlight, Mark dived along the boundary between the steep reef and the areaof seaweed conservation. Suddenly, an awesome Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. Every cell in hisbody was scared to death. But soon, he was aware that he wasn't the target of an attack. With a neat wound in its lipcaused by a shark, this grey seal was washed upside down by the tides time after time. But it tried to jog Mark as if tourge him to help it. So Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to theshallow water. Without pausing he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the seaside.Every time he brought it tasty fish, it would yell and suck his hands happily.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?In a recent article from The Wall Street Journal, technology policy expert Alec Ross argued that,within a decade or so, we’ll be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with builtin microphones. That’s because technological progress is extremely rapid.It’s only a matter of time. Indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that they’re wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.It’s true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “No es bueno dormir mucho” as “It’s not good to sleep too much”. Replacing a word with its equivalent(对应词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translator’s job.But even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.It’s so difficult for computers because translation doesn’t —or shouldn’t—involve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. Rather, it’s about translating meaning. And in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.Think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. All are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.Therefore ,we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. If people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? Unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.【解题导语】技术专家说随着技术的进步,即时翻译机器将在大约十年内出现在市场上。

2019高考英语一轮复习构想 Unit 3 Under the sea课时作业新人教版选修7Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·河北省第二次联考)In 1971 we were living in Wichita, Kansas—Lincoln was about seven, Brendan was three and Kristen was a baby. Mom was staying with us during the holidays. On Christmas Eve I stayed up very late. I was totally alone with my thoughts, alternating between joy and sorrow, and I got to thinking about my paper route(送报历程), that tree, what my mother had said to me and how dad had tried to make things better.I heard a noise in the kitchen and discovered that it was mom. She couldn't sleep either and had gotten up to make herself a cup of hot tea which made her feel better. As she waited for the water to boil, she walked into the living room and discovered me there. She saw my open Bible and asked me what I was reading. When I told her, she asked if I would read it to her and I did.When the kettle began to whistle, she went and made her tea. She came back. I told her how happy I was that she was with us for Christmas and how I wished that dad could have lived to see his grandchildren and to enjoy this time because he always loved Christmas so much. It got very quiet for a moment and then she said,“Do you remember that time on Twelve Mile Road when you bought that tree with your paper route money?”“Yes,” I said,“I've just been thinking about it you know.”She hesitated for a long moment, as though something was bottled up so deeply inside her soul that it might take surgery to get it out. Finally, great tears rolled down her face and she cried,“Oh, son, please forgive me. That time and that Christmas have been a burden on my heart for twentyfive years. I wish your dad were here so I could tell him how sorry I am for what I said.”【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。
“我”和三个孩子以及“我”的母亲居住在一起。
圣诞夜,“我”熬夜未睡,意外发现母亲也未入睡;回忆往事,她失声痛哭。
1.How many children did the author have?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.答案与解析:C 考查细节理解。
根据第一段第一句中的“Lincoln was about seven, Brendan was three and Kristen was a baby”可知,作者有三个孩子,故C项正确。
2.What do we learn about the author's father?A. He lived with the author.B. He loved his grandsons.C. He loved his wife deeply.D. He had passed away.答案与解析:D 考查推理判断。
根据第三段中的“and how I wished that dad could have lived to see his grandchildren”可推知,作者的父亲已经去世,故D项正确。

B(2017·合肥高三质量检测)Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet, and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds. But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997. Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores, suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s, blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters. But from the 1920s to the 1960s, whaling severely reduced the whale populations. Blue whales never recovered in the North Pacific, making sightings in this area rare. However, much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in the North Pacific waters. But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.To identify the blue whales, the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the west coast of the United States and Southern Pacific. Up to now, the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns, but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.【解题导语】本文主要讲的是蓝鲸的迁移以及有可能引起迁移的原因。
