In the past years, scientists used some recorders (录音设备) to hear fish’s “voices”. There are now thousands of recorders in the sea. They help scientists match sounds with sea life.
A healthy coral reef (珊瑚礁) is one of the noisiest places in the sea. Scientists can tell if it’s healthy by listening to it. A healthy coral reef should be full of clicks (喀嚓声) made by shrimps (小虾) . When some coral reef died in 2015 and 2016, they became quiet. After people set up the protected areas (保护区域) , scientists heard the animals come back.
By listening to the sea, scientists start to understand sea animals’ languages. Strong clownfish make short “chirp” sounds when going after small clownfish. They do this to show they are more powerful (强大的). A damselfish can create a pop sound to scare other fish by quickly opening and closing its mouth.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Most cars get their energy from petrol (汽油), But some cars use electricity (电). They get their power from large batteries (电池). There are also some cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor. They are called hybrid cars (混动汽车).
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries electric cars were popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed. But when the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful, they became more popular. Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive. Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.
Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit (益处) is that they can reduce pollution (减少污染). But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning fossil fuels (化石燃料). The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction (减小) in the dependence (依赖) on foreign oil. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power (核能) stations, there is less of a need to import (进口) oil.
There are some problems with electric cars as well. One disadvantage (缺点) is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries. They need to be charged (充电) in special places. Right now, there aren’t enough places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars can’t travel as far as petrol cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of (用完) electricity before they reach their destination (目的地).
31．What do electric cars get their power from
32．When were electric cars first popular
33．Why have electric cars become popular again recently
34．What is the third paragraph mainly about
35．What are the disadvantages of electric cars compared with (与……比较) petrol cars
【答案】31．They get their power from large batteries. 32．In the late 19th and early 20th centuries. 33．Because people want cars that pollute less. 34．It’s mainly about the benefits/advantages of electric cars./The benefits of electric cars. 35．They are more expensive and can’t travel as far as petrol cars. Also, there aren’t enough places to charge the batteries.
【解析】本文主要是介绍了电动汽车的优缺点。
31．根据文中“They get their power from large batteries.”可知，他们从大电池中得到动力。故填They get their power from large batteries.
32．根据文中“In the late 19th and early 20th centuries electric cars were popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed.”可知，是在19世纪末20世纪初。故填In the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
33．根据文中“Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.”可知，因为人们想要污染少的汽车。故填Because people want cars that pollute less.
34．通读整个第三段可知，主要讲述了电动汽车的优点。故填It’s mainly about the benefits/advantages of electric cars./The benefits of electric cars.
35．根据文中“One disadvantage (缺点) is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars.”、“Another problem is that electric cars can’t travel as far as petrol cars.”以及“Right now, there aren’t enough places where people can charge the batteries.”可知，电动汽车比汽油车贵、不能走到汽油车那么远以及没有足够的地方充电。故填They are more expensive and can’t travel as far as petrol cars. Also, there aren’t enough places to charge the batteries.

第二节 任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
Most cars get their energy from petrol (汽油), But some cars use electricity (电). They get their power from large batteries (电池). There are also some cars that have both an electric motor and a petrol motor. They are called hybrid cars (混动汽车).
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries electric cars were popular because the technology for petrol engines was not highly developed. But when the petrol engines became easier to make and more powerful, they became more popular. Interest in electric cars was high in the 1970s and 1980s because oil became very expensive. Recently, electric cars have again become popular because people want cars that pollute less.
Electric cars are better than petrol cars in several ways. The biggest benefit (益处) is that they can reduce pollution (减少污染). But it is important to understand that electric cars still cause pollution. The electricity to power electric cars has to come from a power station. Unless these power stations run on solar or wind energy, they are most likely burning fossil fuels (化石燃料). The second benefit of electric cars is a reduction (减小) in the dependence (依赖) on foreign oil. Since electric cars can run on electricity from coal or nuclear power (核能) stations, there is less of a need to import (进口) oil.
There are some problems with electric cars as well. One disadvantage (缺点) is that electric cars are more expensive than petrol cars. This is mostly because of the high cost of the batteries. They need to be charged (充电) in special places. Right now, there aren’t enough places where people can charge the batteries. Another problem is that electric cars can’t travel as far as petrol cars. Some people are afraid that the battery will run out of (用完) electricity before they reach their destination (目的地).
31．What do electric cars get their power from
32．When were electric cars first popular
33．Why have electric cars become popular again recently
34．What is the third paragraph mainly about
35．What are the disadvantages of electric cars compared with (与……比较) petrol cars
