Blue whales, the earth's largest animals, call t thers f their kind, thugh exactly what these cries cmmunicate remains a mystery. But these sunds have begun evlving (逐渐演变). Since at least the 1960s, the pitch (音高 ) f Antarctic blue whales has dwnshifted. Scientists have theries as t why: all invlving humans.
The deepening f their sunds is nt unique. Many blue whales arund the wrld have als drpped their pitch. In the study last year that analyzed mre than 1 millin individual recrdings f whale calls, pitch shifts were fund acrss the species, and amng ppulatins(种群)that dn’t necessarily interact with ne anther. This is t say, whatever has caused the change desn't seem t have a specific gegraphic rigin.
The underwater nises caused by cean traffic and at­sea industries might seem likely criminals. Hwever, scientists have identified lwered pitch even acrss ppulatins f whales that live in seas withut majr shipping rutes.
One pssible explanatin fr the change is the achievements f glbal cnservatin effrts. As their ppulatins grw, the whales may have decreased their vlume because they are mre likely t be cmmunicating ver shrt distances.
Last year's study f whale calls als suggests a threatening reasn fr the drp in pitch, hwever. Perhaps whales dn't need t be s lud because sund waves travel farther in ceans made acidic by the absrptin f carbn dixide.
Carbn dixide in the atmsphere, meanwhile, may als indirectly influence whale vices in ther ways. A recent study shws that, during the summer, the whales must use their tp vlume t make themselves heard in the cracking ice—a natural sund increased by unnatural prcesses, as rising temperatures wrsen ice­melt. S the impacts f a warming planet may mdulate animal sunds even in remte places.

课时作业(十六)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍蓝鲸的声调降低的几个原因，这些原因都涉及人类。
1．答案与解析：A 考查细节理解。由第二段中的“In the study last 't necessarily interact with ne anther.”可知，去年一项分析了超过一百万条鲸鱼叫声录音的研究发现，音调变化现象遍及整个物种中，也存在于那些之间并没有必要沟通的种群中。故选A。
2．答案与解析：B 考查细节理解。由第四段中的“One pssible cnservatin effrts.”和第五段中的“Perhaps whales dn't the absrptin f carbn dixide.”可知，全球保护行动以及酸性海水是鲸鱼声调变化的两个原因。故选B。
3．答案与解析：D 考查词义猜测。文章主要讲述了鲸鱼叫声音调改变的几个原因。最后一段讲了全球变暖导致冰融化同样也是动物声调变化的原因。由此可推断mdulate是改变的意思。故选D。
4．答案与解析：B 考查推理判断。文章讲述了鲸鱼叫声音调改变的几个原因，而所有的原因均与人类有关，不管是人类的保护行动，还是人类活动导致的全球变暖对动物均有影响。因此人类和自然并非是相互独立的，而是相互依存的。故选B。

7．答案与解析：D 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“With an internatinal visin, Gng will cntinue t write sngs based n Chinese flk music r ancient pems.”可知，拥有国际视野的龚琳娜将继续创作以中国民乐或古诗为基础的歌曲。即龚琳娜未来的音乐计划是她将根据中国民乐或古诗创作更多的歌曲。故选D项。
