And one of these whales made a long journey through the South Pacific. The whale named Isabellla was first recorded near the Galapagos Islands, west of Costa Rica. Years later, people saw Isabellla off the coast(海岸) of Chile in South America. The two places are about 5 200 kilometres away. Blue whales are found in all the world’s oceans (海洋) but live in deep waters. So there are few places where they can be found easily. What’s more, they were almost driven(驱逐) by whaling(捕鲸业) a century ago. Their number is increasing(增加). But because there are so few of the animals, they are still thought endangered(濒危的). One blue whale may look like any other to most of us. But each animal has special spots(斑点). “We use those spots as the fingerprints(指纹) of blue whales,” Torres Florez says. To make the comparison (对比) job easier, scientists mainly watch the area around a whale’s dorsal fin(鳍), which is on its back. “Comparing those spots, we are able to tell if a whale is the same whale we saw in different places or if the same whale is seen during different years in the same place,” he says. Isabella is not the only blue whale to travel so far, the scientists say. Whales migrate regularly(定期地) from Chile to the Galapagos. In summer months, waters in the far southern Pacific are full of krill(磷虾)，but that food disappears (消失) in winter. That’s when the whales travel north to warm, tropical(热带的) waters near the Galapagos. There, instead of feeding, the whales give birth to babies. Scientists don’t know why whales like to have babies in tropical waters. But the ocean there may be warmer and calmer and have fewer killer whales that would feed on baby blue whales, according to Torres Florez. ( ) 1. What can we infer about blue whales in Paragraph 2? A. They are not in danger any more. B. It’s difficult for scientists to study them. C. They can’t live well in a new place. D. People can see them anywhere. ( ) 2. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How to study blue whales. B. The spots of blue whales. C. How to find out the exact blue whale. D. The lifestyles of blue whales. ( ) 3. What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese? A. 演变 B. 分离 C.迁徙 D. 繁殖 ( ) 4. According to Torres Florez, whales like to have babies in tropical waters because ________________. A. there is enough food for baby blue whales B. they don’t have enemies(敌人) there C. it’s easy for them to find a mate(配偶) there D. it’s easy for baby blue whales to stay alive there 三、综合填空 I was nervous (紧张的) 1. my first day of school. 2.

But in recent years, they have entered our homes. Many parents set up cameras at home to watch their children’s online classes and homework. Are cameras really helpful? What do students think about it? Li Ming Earlier last year, I liked to lie in bed and videos instead of studying. This watch affected my studies and made my grades worse. So my parents set up a camera to keep an eye on me. It worked. With the camera watching, I had to do my homework first and make plans for studying at home. When I was alone at home, the camera made me feel safe because I knew that my parents were watching on the other side. My grades improved after a year. Zhang Hua When I was in Grade 8, my parent set up a camera in my room. I really didn’t like it because I felt like there were always eyes watching me. I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn’t sleep well at night. Knowing there was a camera around when my friends came to my home, they would speak quietly and carefully. We couldn’t have pillow fights. I was sad. So I asked my parents to take the camera away. They agreed it as long as I promised to behave well. I feel happy and free now. 1.
