This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name “humpback, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whales back forms as it dives. Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach. A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water. The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same. Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs.Quick FactSize:14m18m in length3050 tons in weightLiving Open ocean and shallow coastline watersEnvironment:From warm tropical (热带的) waters, where they breed, to cold polar waters, where they eat.Diet:Shellfish, plants and fish of small sizeHunting:Sometimes in groups, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net around a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a concentrated mass.Current state:endangered; it is estimated that there are about 50007000 humpback whales worldwide.58. According to Quick Facts, a humpback whale _.A. cannot survive in waters near the shore B. doesnt live in the same waters all the timeC. lives mainly on underwater plants D. prefers to work alone when hunting food59. To make a breach, a humpback whale must _.A. use its tail flukes to leap out of the water B. twist its body sideways to jump high.C. blow two streams of water D. communicate with a group of humpbacks.60. From the passage we can learn that a humpback whale _.A. has its unique markings on it tail flukes B. has black and white fingerprintsC. gets its name from the way it hunts D. is a great performer due to its songsCSeveral years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear, discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish. Immediately, he said: “Thats quite an odd combination. Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow.This joke played on stereotypes (刻板印象) of the Germans as efficient and the Irish as lazy. Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions. We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy?I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being generally rather casual and more outwardly friendly than many European countries'. German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business. Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.So why do some people disapprove of the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarksons joke, but not batting an eyelid when it comes to generalisations. What is the difference between the two?By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.So what does this really mean? Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people. Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn. This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourists experience.If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic. This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.In this way, some people argue that generalising another culture is not just useful, but important. Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries. By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.However, others argue that generalising cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes. They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalising cultures and start treating people as individuals.All this raises important questions: can making generalisations about groups of people be a positive thing? Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups?61. When he said, “Its like, this must be done absolutely perfectly tomorrow, Jeremy Clarkson really meant _.A. the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish wontB. the combination of half German and half Irish is interestingC. the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are oppositeD. the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good62. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.B. The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.C. The Swiss can play the alphorn quite well.D. Its typical of the Swiss to be punctual.63. Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because _.A. they think different cultural characteristics are usefulB. they dont want to offend other peopleC. cultural characteristics are better than stereotypesD. generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes64. The main purpose of this passage is to _.A. discuss whether
