C A fin whale body that was washed ashore at San Djego's Pacific Beach was discovered to have many bite marks from killer whales, which could have contributed to its death. according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). At first. NOAA researchers deemed the marks might be from sharks, but further analysis(分析) by experts showed that these were actually rake(把子) marks, an unusual feature of killer whales, as stated by NOAA spokesperson Michael Milstein. While it is possible that killer whales played a role in the fin whale's death, NOAA has E not confirmed that they were the definitive cause. Milstein noted that there are documented instances where killer whales have chased fin whales, causing them to beach themselves in attempts to escape. This suggests that killer whales could have influenced the whale's fate(命 运), but there is no certainty that they were the direct cause of death. Additionally, NOAA reported sightings of a group of about a dozen killer whales along the Southern California coast, including San Diego. Boaters in the area filmed footage of a group of killer whales actively chasing and likely feeding on dolphins near Torrey Pines. This indicates that killer whales are currently active in the region and may be involved in various predatory(捕食性的)behaviors. The fin whale's body was discovered on December 1o. Lifeguards spent the entire day trying to drag the whale back out to sea, but despite their efforts, the body returned to shore at least once. The whale was observed bleeding from its side, and attempts to pull it away using a small boat connected to its tail were unsuccessful. Fin whales, which are the second- largest whale species on Earth after blue whales, are considered endangered and relatively few in number. These whales can weigh up to 1oo, ooo pounds. NOAA highly values public reports regarding stranded(搁浅的) or injured sea animals. NOAA extremely appreciates such reports and encourages the public to provide information on how to report these incidents. NOAA supposes that it is time for all to work together 28. What does the underlined word "deemed" in paragraph 1 probably mean? B. Persuaded. A.Complained. C:Believed. D. Advocated. 【高二英语 第5页(共10页)】 29.

They are hardly engaging in predatory behaviors. D. They are observed to be active near Torrey Pines. 31. What is NOAA's attitude towards public reports? A. Supportive. B. Doubtful. C. Unclear. D. Worried. D Low levels of vitamin(维生素) D could lead to a slower recovery process in children with broken bones, according to research to be presented at a conference this weekend. “Children need to be given well-balanced diets that include vitamin D to maintain children's overall health and ensure efficient recovery when injuries occur," said the study's senior author, Dr. Jessica McQuerry of the University of Florida. McQuerry's team examined data about 166 patients, from babies to 17-year-olds, who had broken a bone between 2ol5 and 2o22. They found that in 61. 4 percent of cases, the children had low levels of vitamin D and these children were likely to take significantly longer to recover. Professor Scarlett McNally, the deputy director of London's Center for Perioperative Care, said, "Vitamin D helps in many body functions, including repair of bones and tissues. It is a vitamin that helps the body manage calcium which keeps your bones strong and is needed for muscles to contract. Vitamin D also has a role in immune(免疫) function, helping your body deal with infection and cancer. It also has a role in cell division-essential for tissue repair.” The study's authors said that previous studies had focused on how vitamin D can help prevent fractures(骨折), but this new research is making up for the fact that vitamin D for children's fractures had been largely unexplored up to this point. They recommended testing your child for vitamin D levels if a broken bone is taking a long time to recover. Vitamin D can be found in a variety of foods. Dairy products, such as milk and cheese. are particularly high in the nutrient, but it is also found in fish, eggs and some vegetables. Sunlight exposure can help the body absorb vitamin D. “Getting outside and enjoying the fresh air can do wonders for your recovery while also upping vitamin D absorption," McQuerry said 32. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The side effects of medicine. B. The good ways to keep fit. C. The functions of vitamin D. D. The roles of bones and tissues. 33. How does the new research differ from previous studies? A. It uncovers the secret of tasty foods. B. It offers deep insights into vitamin D C. It focuses on teenage exercise routine. D. It provides the cure for broken bones. 【高二英语 第6页(共10页)】 - 34. What do the study's authors advise parents to do? A. Eat yegetables as much as possible. B. Ask their family members to work out. C. Refuse dairy products in the supermarket. D. Check vitamin D levels of their kids. 35. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Well-balanced Diets Help Teenagers Grow Up B. Exploring Nature Plavs a Key Role in Life C. Vitamin D Is Vital for Children D.

Repair was usually the only option. So, when faced with a broken hoe(锄头),I let my brain do a little time traveling and decided to make the repair, just like Grandpa would have done. I dug through my old toolbox for the needed parts, seeking for iust the right tools in my odd collection. I would value the strong cords of connection tying together present and past generations. Working with objects that have a history is satisfying, and I love thinking about the hands that used them to keep homes, farms, or autos running smoothly Finally, I chose my favorite hammer (锤子) from my dad, who received it from his dad. Grandpa's hammer has a worn, ash handle, the grain smooth from 7o years of use and spotted with colorful paint and small cuts from a lifetime of projects. I love how he'd used a bent ) horseshoe nail to tighten the head to the handle. With just the right bolt(e) I just found in hand, I was ready to begin to repair Along with his hammer, I thought about how Grandpa always stressed the importance of having the right tools for a job. While I was immersed in the repairs and my memories, my neighbor's child, Paul, came running over asking for help. His bicycle chain had come off again, and this was something I could lend a hand to do. 内 I set aside my work and took Paul to his bike. Fixing a chain wasn't hard, but Paul clearly lacked the know-how. As I taught him, I shared with him the lesson passed down 不。 from my grandfather: The right tool and the related knowledge are essential for completing any job. Paul watched attentively and curiously. 注意: 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 答 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答 A few moments later, we managed to get the chain back on track. Thinking of the hammer, I decided to start a small club to repair old items for kids in the community every Friday 【高二英语 第10页(共10页)】
