2014春季英语人教版新课标选修7U3 Section Ⅱ语言点二检测（1）及答案 Unit 3 Section Ⅱ 语言点二 应用落实 高考练习 In October on the east coast of Australia migrating（迁徙）humpback whales（座头鲸）pass very close to the shore. With the help of Max Egan, we went to film them near Byron Bay. It was extremely exciting to spot the little puffs（水柱）of spray on the horizon. When migrating, the whales can be travelling at the speed of about 12 km/h and can dive under anywhere between five and forty minutes, but with many years of experience Max usually guided our boat to exactly the right place to provide us with amazing sighting. As the whales break the surface like submarines（潜水艇），the water spills off their broad dark backs and huge tails.

It is the males which sing, as they migrate between feeding and breeding（养育）grounds. No one knows for sure what the purpose of these songs is, whether they are love songs to the females or warnings to other males to stay away. It was thought that each group of humpbacks had their own song which remained regular but recent findings suggest that the whales appreciate a memorable tune（曲调）and quickly adopt any new songs they hear. 36. Which finding about whales is beyond the writers expectation? A. The little puffs. B. The songs of whales. C. The travelling speed of whales. D. The depth of the whales dive. 37.
