困難。1．答案與解析：D主旨大意題。概括文章第一段可得出答案。觀鯨船所產(chǎn)生的噪音給虎鯨之間的信息交流造成了困難。A項(xiàng)所涉及的范圍過(guò)大；B項(xiàng)僅僅是文章的細(xì)節(jié)；C項(xiàng)與原文信息不符，因?yàn)槲恼伦詈笳f(shuō)明虎鯨數(shù)量下降的原因不明。因此選D項(xiàng)。2．答案與解析：B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第五段說(shuō)明，因?yàn)槭茉胍舾蓴_，現(xiàn)在虎鯨“唱”的時(shí)間比原來(lái)長(zhǎng)。3．答案與解析：C推理判斷題。文章介紹了觀鯨船所產(chǎn)生的噪音給虎鯨之間的交流造成了困難，從文章最后的敘述看，虎鯨數(shù)量在下降，而科學(xué)家也不明白其中原因，顯然作者對(duì)虎鯨的生存狀況感到“擔(dān)憂”。4．答案與解析：C推理判斷題。從文中第三段和倒數(shù)第三段可以看出鯨是靠聲波交流捕獵和繁殖信息的，如果這些事情被阻止了，鯨的數(shù)量就會(huì)下降。B【語(yǔ)篇解讀】本文為記敘文，講述了17歲的美國(guó)少年ZacSunderland駕駛著他的帆船歷時(shí)13個(gè)月，航行28000海里的故事。5．答案與解析：B數(shù)字計(jì)算題。根據(jù)第一段中的“completeahard13-monthvoyage”和第四段中的“SunderlandleftMarinaDelRey...on
