9、 my thermos (保温瓶) is all I have left to do,and then Im off.” Down the drain (下水道) went the hot water that had been warming his thermos.With a nostalgic (怀旧的) look on his face, he softly said: “Anytime I fill my thermos I think of your mom.” The tone in his voice was so tender as he spoke of my mothe

Mom then casually said, “Jerry, if you filled your ther

11、mos with hot water and let it sit a while, your coffee would stay hot for longer then.” With her simple suggestion, his face showed that he was shocked by his own lack of common sense, well, of course it would! He poured out the small amount of coffee already in the thermos and refilled it with boil

She never dreamed her words would be a treasured and everlasting memory in the heart of her son-in-law.The last

25、expected to go extinct in the wild in just over a decade, given its current population decline. The main reason is a lack of food caused by disturbance to ocean conditions from global heating and competition from the commercial fishing industry. According to a study, scientists have identified a pos

26、sible additional cause, one that is an entirely new threat and that further prevents the penguins from finding food: noise pollution from marine (海洋的) ships in a bay.Since 2016, a new shipping practice has started at Algoa Bay. The bay offers ship-to-ship refueling for ships anchored offshore. Since

27、 the start of this practice, marine traffic in the bay has doubled. The number of bulk carriers (散货船) pulling into the bay has increased by ten times as much. Thus the noise levels in the area had doubled and the population of penguins has dropped sharply. High noise levels affect the ability of mar

28、ine animals to find food, communicate or navigate properly.Researchers used data from ship identification tools to estimate underwater noise from passing ships. They also attached underwater microphones and accelerometers (感应器) to some of the penguins. Recording the noise will tell researchers what

29、the penguins are hearing, if theyre talking while hunting, if theyre changing their movements in response to noise, and if the noise is drowning out their hunting conversations. This will allow researchers to determine whether the sound disturbance is a direct cause of the penguins ongoing difficult

30、ies in finding sufficient food.The study is the first to explore he effects of ocean traffic noise pollution on seabirds and the consequences of offshore shipping activities on underwater noise levels. Experts are considering proposing various global best-practice approaches to reduce some of the im

31、pacts of noise pollution, such as policies that limit the number and size of ships allowed into a bay of this kind. “We also need more scientific monitoring of noise, before these measures are put in place and afterward, so that we have a proper understanding of what works.” a researcher said.；12Wha

32、t is caused by the noise pollution?AThe penguins lack of food.BThe penguins proper navigation.CPeoples communication disability.DThe commercial competition.；13Why did scientists attach microphones to penguins?ABecause they wanted to study the way of relieving marine traffic pressure.BBecause they co

33、uld determine and analyze the source of ocean noise pollutionCBecause it helped to calculate underwater noise levels caused by different ships.DBecause the impact of ocean on penguins hunting behavior could be found.；14How can the noise pollution be reduced?ABy exploring the real effects of ocean tr
