B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 B（2024·原创） The latest theory on whale deaths is that the creatures are being driven farther into open waters because of climate change， and they’re sometimes ending up in the path of ships carrying goods for online shoppers. A sharp increase in online shopping has caused more ships to travel through shipping lanes around the world. According to NOAA （National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration）， 23 whales have been washed up dead along the coastline in a few months. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 As an example of the  　uptick　⁠， the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has seen a rise in shipping traffic by as much as 27 percent as compared to 2019. It’s believed that a good part of that increase is the result of rising levels of online shopping. And disastrous run-ins（灾难性碰撞） with ships aren’t the only problem they face. Recent studies show microplastic（微塑料） pollution is also a serious threat to whale life. It is said that each blue whale eats up to 10 million microplastics a day. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 Researchers found that whales mainly feed between 50 and 250 metres below the water’s surface. Unfortunately， this depth zone is full of plenty of microplastics produced by human shopping. Between the two problems， things are not looking all so bright for whales right now. Unfortunately， the common denominator（共同点） on both problems is human behaviour. The question is whether we will learn from our past mistakes. 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　A　）6. How many reasons are given for the death of whales？ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. （　B　）7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “uptick”？ A. 发展 B. 增长 C. 货物 D. 收入 （　A　）8. What can we infer from Paragraph 6？ A. The writer is worried about the future of whales. B. The writer is confident about the future of whales. C. Humans will learn from their mistakes in the future. D. Humans won’t learn from their mistakes in the future. A B A 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 （　C　）9. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text？ A. ⁠ ⁠ B. ⁠ ⁠ C. ⁠ ⁠ D. ⁠ ⁠ （　B　）10. What’s the best title for the text？ A. It’s necessary to stop shopping online at once B. Human behaviour is causing the death of whales C. Humans need to take steps to protect the whales D. There will be fewer and fewer whales in the future C B 一 二 三 四 五 六 七 八 四、 补全对话（每小题2分，共10分） 根据对话内容，从方框内所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项多余。 A. Can I help you？ B. I’ll hold a welcome party for him. C.
