Have you ever wondered how whales communicate? Scientists have been studying this question for years. They found that whales use sounds to "talk" to each other across hundreds of kilometres in the ocean.
But now, noise pollution from ships is making it harder for whales to hear each other. Whether whales can adapt to this change is still unknown. Some scientists worry that if whales cannot communicate fully, they may have trouble finding food and raising their young.
"The ocean is becoming too noisy," says marine biologist(海洋生物学家) Dr. Li. "We need to find a method to reduce ship noise. Otherwise, the environment for whales will become more dangerous."
Some countries are trying to solve this problem. They ask ships to slow down in areas where whales live. This simple change helps make the ocean a little quieter.
()1. What problem do whales face according to the passage?
A. They cannot find enough food.
B. Noise pollution makes communication hard.
C. The ocean water is too hot.
D. Too many ships are hitting them.
()2. What does the word "adapt" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. To change in order to fit a new situation.
B. To make a loud sound.
C. To stay away from others.
D. To find food easily.
()3. What does Dr. Li suggest?
A. Stop all ships from sailing.
B. Find a way to reduce ship noise.
C. Move whales to quieter places.
D. Use louder sounds to help whales.
()4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The problem has been solved.
B. No one cares about whales.
C. Some countries are taking action.
D. Whales are moving to other oceans.

答案
1.B 2.A 3.B 4.C
解析
1. 细节理解题：根据文章第二段第一句"But now, noise pollution from ships is making it harder for whales to hear each other."可知，轮船产生的噪音污染让鲸鱼很难听到彼此的声音，交流变得困难。A选项是科学家担忧鲸鱼无法充分交流后可能出现的后续问题，并非鲸鱼当前面临的核心问题；C、D选项的内容在文中均没有提及，因此选B。
2. 词义猜测题：划线词所在句的语境是，噪音污染给鲸鱼的生存带来了新的变化，目前还不清楚鲸鱼能不能做出调整来应对这种新变化，"adapt"的含义是"适应"，对应A选项"为了适应新情况而做出改变"的释义，其余选项均不符合语境。
3. 细节理解题：根据第三段中Dr. Li的原话"We need to find a method to reduce ship noise."可知，他的建议是找到方法减少轮船的噪音，对应B选项，其余选项的内容均不是文中Dr. Li提出的建议。
4. 细节理解题：文章最后一段表明，一些国家正在尝试解决噪音污染的问题，要求船只在鲸鱼栖息的区域减速，说明部分国家已经开始采取行动保护鲸鱼，对应C选项。A选项称问题已经被解决、B选项称没人关心鲸鱼、D选项称鲸鱼正在迁往其他海洋的表述都和原文内容不符。
