largest animals ever known to have existed on the planet,and they can grow to a length of 100 feet and weigh more than 330,000 pounds.But recently researchers have found that these whales are on the move and they have migrated from California waters to areas off Canada and Alaska for the first time since commercial whaling ended in 1965.‎ The researchers identified 15 blue whales that have appeared off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska since 1997.Four of these whales were recognized as ones that were once sighted off California shores,suggesting that the whales are returning to an old migration pattern between the coasts.‎ Before commercial whaling began in the early 1900s,blue whales were found widely throughout the North Pacific and California waters.But from the 1920s to the 1960s,whaling severely reduced the whale populations.Blue whales never recovered in the North Pacific,making sightings in this area rare.However,much larger groups of whales have been observed close to California since the 1970s.‎ The scientists had previously thought that the California population was separate from the population that had historically lived in the North Pacific waters.But the current study shows that whales off the coast of British Columbia and the Gulf of Alaska are likely part of the California population.‎ To identify the blue whales,the researchers looked at photos of cetaceans taken ‎ in the North Pacific Ocean and compared them with a library of blue whale pictures taken along the west coast of the United States and Southern Pacific.Up to now,the researchers are not quite sure why the whales are changing their migration patterns,but they suspect that the whales may be following their food moving farther north by the changes in ocean conditions.‎ ‎1.According to the passage,blue whales are 　　　. ‎ A.following a fixed route of migration B.dying out due to commercial whaling C.moving from the south to the north D.rarely found in the Southern Pacific ‎2.The whale population in the North Pacific 　　　. ‎ A.is different from the California population B.is probably part of the California population C.has become the largest group since the 1970s D.has lived there since the 1960s ‎3.The underlined word “cetaceans” in Paragraph 5 probably means 　　　. ‎ A.land creatures B.whale species C.ocean conditions D.migration patterns ‎4.What might make blue whales migrate according to the researchers?‎ A.Commercial whaling.‎ B.Weather conditions.‎ C.Life reproduction.‎ D.Food resources.‎ B ‎(2016·山西考前质检)‎ Some fish seem to be capable of adapting rapidly to climate change.In fact,they might even boom in the warmer oceans of the future,growing bigger and healthier than ‎ they can at present-day temperatures.Evidence gathered over the past decades has suggested that climate change will force fish to migrate to cooler waters,or else face extinction.Signs of such migration have already been seen.But recent studies have shown that some fish are able to adapt to warmer waters over a few generations.‎ Earlier this month,Philip Munday of James Cook University,and his colleagues showed that one key tropical fish species did this by turning on and off some of its genes.Yet there are questions over the potential cost of such an adaptation.The fish’s ability to swim seems to be unchanged,but as Munday noted,“Maybe we’ll see trade-offs with growth rates.There are no free lunch in this world.”‎ Donelson from Sydney raised several groups of maroon clownfish(小丑鱼),which live in coral reefs throughout the West Pacific.She kept one group at temperatures representing present-day conditions on the Great Barrier Reef,from where the parents of the fish were collected.In addition,she kept another group at 1.5℃ warmer and a third group at 3℃ warmer,representing the ocean temperature rise expected by the end of the century.‎ After a year of growing,the fish adapted to the warmer temperatures,upping their aerobic metabolism(有氧代谢),which seemed to contribute to other benefits:those raised at temperatures 3℃ warmer grew 8 percent larger and 29 percent heavier than fish raised at lower temperatures.‎ Donelson says that it is hard to make predictions about how different species will cope with climate change.“But at least it won’t be all negative news for all species,”she says.‎ ‎5.The main idea of the first paragraph is that 　　　. ‎ A.some fish can adjust to warmer waters B.some fish can grow bigger at present-day temperatures C.some fish may die out in cooler waters D.big fish can survive the temperature change ‎6.One specific kind of fish adjusts to the changed surroundings by 　　　. ‎ A.switching their genes on and off B.growing quickly C.training their ability to swim D.living in a group ‎7.From Donelson’s experiment,we know 　　　. ‎ A.the clownfish she raised are from the Great Barrier Reef B.she raised the fish in two different temperature conditions C.after a year’s growing,the fish failed to adjust to warmer temperatures D.the fish raised in the warmest water grow largest and heaviest ‎8.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A.Different species will deal with climate change in the same way.‎ B.Climate change has a positive effect on all the species.‎ C.Fish is not the only species that can meet the challenge of climate change.‎ D.Species which can adapt to climate change would survive.‎ ‎【巩固】‎ Do you hear that birds of a feather flock together? It certainly appears that they do. We are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to ourselves. Poor people like to surround themselves with other poor people, and rich people with other rich people. Intelligent people associate with like-minded people, and artists typically seek out other artists.‎ ‎ It appears that we all have comfort zones we attempt to stay within. Very stressed and poor people don’t feel comfortable associating with rich people. We owe it to each other to be successful because success breeds more success. And if we are not feeling successful, looking at who we have as friends and associates can tell us and others a lot about ourselves and why. The longer we associate with a group of individuals, the more our thinking processes become like theirs.‎ ‎ A few years ago, a doctor friend of mine began associating with a new group of people. At the time, he had a successful practice and a positive and grateful attitude to life. However, within the first six months of his association with these individuals, his attitude and goals changed , he was angry at how things were and was dissatisfied with ‎ those who’d become his opposition. He became very stubborn. As a result his practice dropped in quality of service. His facial expressions often showed anger and stress.‎ ‎ After about two years of association with this group, he learned some valuable lessons. He realized that always focusing on problems or being dissatisfied with others doesn’t lead to a rewarding life, nor does it solve as many problems as it creates. He decided that he’d rather get back into serving his patients.‎ ‎ This doctor put his heart and soul into his practice, and his life changed again. He began to attract people who focused on solutions instead of problems. His success was now more obvious than his stress—his achievement more obvious than his frustration.‎ ‎ Whom we hang out with does make a difference. The old saying ＂If you want to soar (翱翔) with the eagles, don’t flock with the turkeys.＂ has a point.‎ ‎1.What does the underlined part ＂birds of a feather flock together＂ in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ ‎ A. Birds like to take a risk to fly high in the sky.‎ ‎ B. Birds are more likely to fly together than other creatures.‎ ‎ C. People are more likely to have different attitudes to life.‎ ‎ D. People of the same kind are found together.‎ ‎2.We can infer from the passage that the individuals the doctor hung out with were ________.‎ ‎ A. stressed B. successful ‎ ‎ C. patient D. rich ‎3.The author uses the old saying in the last paragraph to ________.‎ ‎ A. show his great literary talent ‎ ‎ B. make his article more persuasive ‎ C. raise another similar question ‎ ‎ D. suggest the end of his article ‎4.The author uses the doctor’s example to prove that ________.‎ ‎ A. bad luck never comes alone ‎ B. success breeds more success ‎ C. someone has no control over his own life ‎ D. people are likely to become like those who they associate with ‎ 【语篇解读】俗话说：物以类聚，人以群分，人们往往会和相处的人相似，所以我们要和积极的人在一起。‎ ‎1.D【解析】句意理解题。根据文章第一段的句子＂We are likely to hang around with individuals who are similar to ourselves.＂可知，＂birds of a feather flock together＂ 指的是同样的人会在一起。故选D。‎ ‎3.B【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段的句子＂Whom we hang out with does make a difference.＂我们和谁 在一起很重要，然后用谚语If you want to soar (翱翔) with the eagles, don’t flock with the turkeys.证明他 的观点。故选B。‎ ‎4.D【解析】推理判断题。根据文章第二段的句子＂The longer we associate with a group of individuals, the more our thinking processes become like theirs.＂可知，人们可能变得和交往的人一样。故选D。‎ Ⅱ.七选五阅读 ‎(2016·郑州第一次质检)‎ Every scientific field uses the scientific method to conduct experiments.Performing experiments is very important in the field of psychology(心理学).Before beginning a study,however,any scientist who wishes to perform an experiment should be familiar with the steps of the scientific method.　1　 ‎ ‎◆Form a hypothesis(假设).It is an educated guess about what will happen during the study.　2　 Coming up with a hypothesis before you start can help guide your experiment. ‎ ‎◆Plan out a study.Planning out the experiment is essential because the psychologist needs to know if they have time,materials,and testing areas prepared beforehand.This step also helps the scientists to determine if they will be ‎ performing descriptive or experimental research.The ideal situation is to always perform experimental research.　3　 Descriptive research simply collects data regarding the problem and forms a hypothesis according to the data. ‎ ‎◆Collect data.　4　 If the data collected is not recorded and organized,the entire efforts of the study may be wasted.The best way to do this may be to record the proceedings so that no details are lost. ‎ ‎◆Analyze the data.Once all the data has been collected and organized,it must be analyzed.Using previous research or scientific information about the problem,the psychologist must apply the new data gathered.‎ ‎◆Publish the information learned.The final step of the scientific method in psychology is publishing the results of the study.　5　 Most psychological experiments are published in scientific journals. ‎ A.It is based on scientific facts,not just opinions.‎ B.Read on to find out how to use the scientific method in psychology.‎ C.Before psychologists start the experiment, they must plan out the steps.‎ D.This helps other psychologists to learn about and use the new information.‎ E.The scientific method has proved to be an effective way to conduct research.‎ F.To fully understand the study,each part of the experiment must be recorded.‎ G.Sometimes,however,this is impossible and descriptive research will have to be used.‎ Ⅲ.短文改错 I stare from the window of my hotel room.A older gentleman was helping a
