【题目】B

Its reported that powerful Cyclone Pam has impacted at least half the population of Vanuatu, which is a South Pacific island nation.

“Vanuatu is used to disasters but the indications are that Cyclone Pam has caused unprecedented damages,” said President Baldwin Lonsdale in a press release.

The leader of the island nation noted that following a direct hit from the Category 5 storm on Friday, at least two deaths have been confirmed and over 30 injured people are being treated in the Central Hospital in the capital, Port Vila where many people are now homeless and torrential rain has led to severe flooding. He also said bridges which link the capital with the rest of the island have been destroyed.

Mr. Lonsdale made his appeal from Sendai, Japan, where he has been attending since Sunday the Third UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction. The Conference has drawn thousands of Government and civil society delegations to craft a new framework for managing disaster risk which will reduce mortality and curb economic losses.

The country is already threatened by coastal erosion and rising sea levels in addition to five active volcanoes and earthquakes. "This is why I am attending this Conference and why Vanuatu wants to see a strong new framework on disaster risk reduction which will support us in tackling the drivers of disaster risk such as climate change."

Meanwhile, the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reports that it is estimated that at least half the population of Vanuatu has been affected by cyclone Pam. Of these, at least 54,000 are children.

Many homes in Vanuatu have likely been destroyed as they are built with natural and local materials such as thatched and corrugated roofs that are vulnerable to strong winds and floods.

Other Pacific Island countries have been severely impacted as well, including the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and Kiribati.

A UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team was expected arrive in Port Vila late Saturday. OCHA was also expected to deploy three staff with information management, public information and humanitarian coordination as well.

【题目】Dolphins call out the specific names of loved ones when they become separated, a study findsOther than humans, they are the only animals known to do this, according to the studyThe big difference with dolphins is that these communications consist of whistles(鸣叫), not words

Earlier research found that dolphins have a “signature whistle” that would be somewhat like human shouting, “Hey everybody! I’m an adult healthy male named George, and I mean you no harm

The new finding is that dolphins also say the names of certain other dolphins“Animals produced copies of the same sound when they were separated from a close partnerThis supports our belief that dolphins copy another animal’s signature whistle when they want to reunite with that animal,” Stephanie King, who led the study, says

King and her colleagues collected acoustic(声音的)data from wild dolphins around Sarasota Bay, Florida, from 1984 to 2009The researchers also studied four adult male dolphinshousedat the Seas Aquarium, also in Florida

Those males are adults that keepers named Calvin, Khyber, Malabar and Ranier, all of whom, as well as all of the wild ones, developed their own signature whistles that served as names in communication with other dolphins

“A dolphin uses its signature whistle to broadcast its identity and announce its presenceThe signature whistles allow animals to identify one another over long distances and allow animals to recognize one another and to join up with each other,” King explains“Dolphin whistles can be heard up to 20km away, depending on water depth and whistle frequency(频率).

The researchers said dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones, such as a mother, when the two are separatedThese “names” are always used in positive situations, and are only directed toward loved ones

While researchers are often unwilling to apply the word language to non-human communications, dolphins clearly have a very complex communication system

A. raised B. saved C. discovered D. hunted

2Which of the following plays a part in whether dolphin whistles can be heard over a distance?

A. The dolphin’s identity

B. The water temperature

C. The whistle frequency

D. The dolphin’s age

3When do dolphins copy the signature whistles of loved ones?

A. When there is a fight

B. When their keeper comes

C. When they are apart

D. When they are hungry

4Where is the passage probably taken from?

A. A magazine about scientific advances

B. A website about various animals

C. A report on animal acoustics

D. An essay about the relationship between humans and animals
