Even though most countries have a system for recognizing, honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries, there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things・The Oscars are probably the most famous, a time for the film industry to tell itself how good it is. The awards are not only for films 一Now there are also Grammies, Brits, the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music .In Britain, a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult, literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with The Da Vinci Code for popularity. The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist — each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds, putting animals in glass cases or 一this year 一building a garden shed・Awards don't only exist for the arts. There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year, for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year.

However, since 2011, researchers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town have been observing a new phenomenon off the coast of South Africa. Professor Ken Findlay and his team reported seeing 22 cases of large groups of humpback whales on three different occasions in 2011,2014, and 2015.The researchers are puzzled not just by the unusual social behavior, but also by the fact that the U super-groups^ were seen in April and May. That's because the mammals typically spend these late summer months （in the Southern Hemisphere） feeding in the Antarctic waters before heading back to the warmer subtropical South African waters during winter, to breed and give birth. In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE on May 1, Findlay and his team outlined some of the possible reasons behind the big change in the mammals9 behavior.The researchers say that the cause of the recent sightings could be the abundant food available in the Benguela upwelling system. Located near the southwestern tip of South Africa between St. Helena Bay and Cape Point, the system of cold, nutrient-rich ocean cuiTents is rich in phytoplanktons and species of small fish that the humpback whales feed on, such as the mantis shrimp ・Another probable reason is the sudden increase in humpback whales' population. According to a recent scientific report, the mammals, population, off the coast of Australia, has reached nearly 90 perceni of pre-whaling numbers, while on the US East Coast, the number of whales is up 60 percent from its lows. All in all, experts estimate there are currently 150,000 humpback whales swimming in our oceans- They all need to feed・However, while the theories may explain the decision to skip migrating （迁徙）to Antarctic waters, the reason for the social super-groups remains a mystery. According to Findley, "It's possible that the behavior was occurring, but just not where it was visible （看得见的）.Because there were so few of them, we may not have seen it：9・ What is implied about the humpback whales in Paragraph 2?A.They no longer hunt for food in the Antarctic waters・B.They usually spend the whole winter in the Antarctic waters・C.They are rarely seen in South African waters during April and May.D.They^ve changed their social behavior to adjust to the warmer waters・10. According to Findley, why are the humpback whales seen in large groups now?A.Because they swim in populated areas now・B.Because their number has increased greatly.C.Because they need to work together to hunt for food.D.Because researchers pay closer attention to them now.11 • What does the passag e mainly talk about?A.Reasons for the number of humpback whales increasing so greatly.B.How humpback whales adapt themselves to the changing environment.C.Why humpback whales appear off the coast of South Africa in large groups. D・ Researchers'findings about a new whale species near the coast of South Africa. DLast Tuesday morning I stared across the table at a woman with severe scars lining her face・ Her angry husband carved those scars when she told him she wanted a divorce.Fm a member of the Rhode Island Parole Board. Month after month — for 13 years — Fve met with criminals and victims. Immediately before my colleagues and I conduct hearings for the criminals, we meet with their victims if they wish to tell us their stories.Every time I walk into those hearing rooms I retest my belief in justice・ I do my best to balance my concern for public safety and my faith that some criminals truly have regretted their deeds・ On hearing days, nearly always, the victims beg us to keep the prisoners behind bars. All morning long I hear their sufferings: murder, armed robbery, and domestic violence.The victims return to their lives and hours later I find myself face to face with the criminals. I settle in to hear what the prisoners have to say. Often their stories are filled with regret, hope and lots of promises.These face-to-face meetings force me to deal with what I really believe about peopled fundamental rights. Fm proud to be part of a system like ours 一as imperfect as it is. The system does most of its work in the open and takes seriously the rights of both victims and the accused But I struggle to balance these colliding rights. Only an hour after meeting with the woman with scars on her face, I met with her husband, Andrew・ He explained with sorrow and regret how he had mishandled his failing marriage・ He showed me, with heartfelt words, the fruits of his hard emotional labor while in prison 一from his learning in treatment programs and from his own soul-searching. All of a sudden, he didn't seem evil・So, how do I administer justice （执行审判）？1 believe that justice cant be shaped by, simplistic formulas （公式）.Rather, justice happens when real human beings sort through a jumble of laws, rules, conflicting stories, and plain old instinct （木能，直觉）12.When staying in the hearing room, the author __________ .A.is full of contradictory feelingsB.feels pitiful for the criminalsC.feels suspicious about the justiceD.is angry at the victims' sufferings13.What's most probably the author's job?A.To decide whether to put the criminals into prison.B.To decide whether to let the criminals come out of prison.C.To give justice to the victims and punishment to the criminals.D.To give justice to the victims and lessen punishment to the criminals.14.What can we know about Andrew?A.He accepted physical labor and treatment programs in the prison.B.He was less evil than he used to be after years of soul-searching・C.He was very mad with his wife about ending marriage with him.D.He was sentenced to 13 years in prison for his violence to his wife・15.What's the author's attitude to the criminals?A.They are able to reform themselves in prison.B.Their rights and freedom also need to be defended・C.The victims should forgive the regretful criminals.D.They should be given punishment and also justice.第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
