2．Queen Elizabeth National Park is a place of outstanding beauty and extreme biodiversity.On a previous underwater assignment with my wife and photographic partner，Jennifer Hayes，we'd documented healthy coral reefs surrounded with fish，sharks，and crocodiles.We knew that time，increased tourism and climate change could make the park different—so 15 years later，we returned to see how it was going.
We were photographing some jellyfish.Jennifer，her back to me，was focused on something above her.Out of the corner of my viewfinder，I saw a sizable crocodile coming.As I began to take its photograph，I realized that the crocodile was going to swim directly between Jennifer and me.I started to make loud noises through my regulator and moved towards Jen，firing a burst of flash-lit shots to warn her that we had company.She quickly detected my signal and turned to meet our visitor.
She gave me a quick thumbs-up，nodded OK，and said "Hello，handsome" as she bent closer to take its photos.I admired her for treating the crocodile with respect，calm curiosity，and absolute joy.She didn't feel threatened.She was familiar with this kind of crocodile in this particular place—and she had a big underwater camera housing that could double as a mighty shield （盾牌） if needed.After a few pictures the crocodile，unimpressed with us，swam downstream on its way to do other crocodile things.We continued our search for jellyfish.
There is always risk in our line of work.But this encounter highlighted the good news that we saw all around us here.The crocodile is an indicator animal，a symbol of a healthy ecosystem that can support top predators （捕食性動(dòng)物）.The easing of travel restrictions is bound to bring more tourists—so it's vital to maintain a balance among ecotourism，exploration，and conservation.That's possible if visitors adopt the same philosophy that we hold toward that curious crocodile. We enter Earth's oceans on their terms，not our own.

B．She trusted her husband.
C．She could protect herself.
D．She longed for its company.

A．Explore nature with curiosity.
B．Respect nature while exploring it.
C．Study nature while developing tourism.
D．Protect nature through biological research.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the text？
A．A Narrow Escape
B．A Risky Job
C．An Underwater Assignment
D．A Chance Meeting組卷：1引用：4難度：0.3 -
3．Tourists visiting the Canary Islands can often hear locals communicating over long distances by whistling—not a tune，but the Spanish language.The locals are communicating in Silbo，a much more widespread use of whistled languages.In at least 80 cultures worldwide，people have developed whistled versions of their local languages when the circumstances call for it.
Whistled languages are almost always developed by traditional cultures that live in mountainous regions or in dense forests.That's because whistled speech carries much farther than ordinary speech or shouting，says Julien Meyer，a linguist who explores the topic of whistled languages.Skilled whistlers can reach 120 decibels （分貝）—louder than a car speaker.As a result，whistled speech can be understood up to 10 times as far away as ordinary shouting can.That lets people communicate when they cannot get close enough to shout.
Whistled languages work because many of the key elements of speech can be imitated in a whistle.We distinguish one speech sound from another by minor differences in their sound frequency patterns.Whistlers can express all of these distinctions by varying the pitch （音高） of their whistle.And the skill can be adapted to any language，even those that have no tradition of whistling.
However，whistled languages are disappearing rapidly all over the world，and some—such as the whistled form of the Tepehua language in Mexico—have already disappeared.Modernization is largely to blame，says Meyer，who points to roads as the biggest factor. "That's why you still find whistled speech only in places that are very，very remote，that have had less access to roads，" he says.
Fortunately，there is still a ray of hope.UNESCO has listed two whistled languages—Silbo in the Canary Islands，and a whistled Turkish—as elements of the world's intangible cultural heritage.Such attention can lead to conservation efforts.In the Canary Islands，for example，Silbo is now taught in schools. "If people hadn't made that effort，Silbo would probably have disappeared，" says Meyer.There，at least，the future of the whistled language looks bright.
（1）What can be learned about Silbo？
A．It is an endangered tune.
B．It is employed to entertain tourists.
C．It is used in more than 80 cultures.
D．It is a whistled version of Spanish.
（2）What are whistled languages mainly used to do？
A．Pass on secret information.
B．Get messages across over long distances.
C．Imitate the sound patterns of other languages.
D．Show minor differences between speech sounds.
（3）Why are whistled languages disappearing according to Meyer？
A．Lack of skilled teachers.
B．Contact with modernity.
C．Difficulty in learning them.
D．Popularity of official languages.
（4）What is the author's attitude towards the future of Silbo？
A．Uncertain.
B．Dissatisfied.
C．Optimistic.
D．Uncaring.組卷：1引用：3難度：0.5
