• 2．Not all awards are as noble as the Nobel Prize，which is world-famous for giving prizes to people who made progress in literature，science，economics and-perhaps most importantly-peace．Even though most countries have a system for recognizing，honoring and rewarding people who have done something good in their countries，there are now hundreds of awards and awards ceremonies for all kinds of things．
  The Oscars are probably the most famous，a time for the film industry to tell itself how good it is．The awards are not only for films-Now there are also Grammies，Brits，the Mercury Prize and the MTV and Q awards for music．In Britain，a writer who wins the Booker prize can expect to see their difficult，literary novel hit the bestseller lists and compete with The Da Vinci Code for popularity．The Turner Prize is an award for a British contemporary artist-each year it causes controversy by apparently giving lots of money to artists who do things like displaying their beds，putting animals in glass cases or-this year-building a garden shed．
  Awards don't only exist for the arts．There are now awards for Sports Personality of the Year，for European Footballer of the Year and World Footballer of the Year．This seems very strange-sometimes awards can be good to give recognition to people who deserve it，or to help people who are on tight budget carry on their work without worrying about finances，but professional soccer players these days are not shy of fund!
  Why have all these awards and ceremonies appeared recently？Shakespeare never won a prize，nor did Leonardo Da Vinci．
  Most awards ceremonies are now sponsored by big organizations or companies．This means that not only the person who wins the award benefits from it-but also the sponsors．The MTV awards，for example，are great for publicizing not only music，but also MTV itself!
  On the surface，it seems to be a"win-win"situation，with everyone being happy，but let me ask you a question-how far do you think that publicity and marketing are winning here，and how much genuine recognition of achievement is taking place？
  
  （1）What's the writer's attitude towards the Nobel Prize？

  
  A．Critical．
  B．Doubtful．
  C．Positive．
  D．Hopeful．
  （2）Why does the writer write Paragraphs 2 and 3？

  
  A．To show the importance of giving awards to people．
  B．To show there are various awards．
  C．To tell us why so many awards appear．
  D．To tell us how people win awards．
  （3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean？

  
  A．Don't need to carry on their work．
  B．Aren't as famous as other people．
  C．Aren't as important as other people．
  D．Don't lack money．
  （4）Which of the following statements may the writer agree with？

  
  A．The win-win situation satisfies all people involved．
  B．Most awards today go to people who don't really need them．
  C．Awards should be given to people with financial problems．
  D．Organizations that give awards take advantage of awards ceremonies．

• 3．Like the rest of their species，the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales typically prefer to remain single or gather in small groups that disperse （散開） quickly．However，since 2011，researchers from Cape Peninsula University of Technology in Cape Town have been observing a new phenomenon off the coast of South Africa．Professor Ken Findlay and his team reported seeing 22 cases of large groups of humpback whales on three different occasions in 2011，2014，and 2015．
  The researchers are puzzled not just by the unusual social behavior，but also by the fact that the"super-groups"were seen in April and May．That's because the mammals typically spend these late summer months （in the Southern Hemisphere） feeding in the Antarctic waters before heading back to the warmer subtropical South African waters during winter，to breed and give birth．In a study published in the journal PLOS ONE on May 1，F(xiàn)indlay and his team outlined some of the possible reasons behind the big change in the mammals' behavior．
  The researchers say that the cause of the recent sightings could be the abundant food available in the Benguela upwelling system．Located near the southwestern tip of South Africa between St．Helena Bay and Cape Point，the system of cold，nutrient-rich ocean currents is rich in phytoplanktons and species of small fish that the humpback whales feed on，such as the mantis shrimp．
  Another probable reason is the sudden increase in humpback whales' population．According to a recent scientific report，the mammals，population，off the coast of Australia，has reached nearly 90 percent of pre-whaling numbers，while on the US East Coast，the number of whales is up 60 percent from its lows．All in all，experts estimate there are currently 150，000 humpback whales swimming in our oceans．They all need to feed．
  However，while the theories may explain the decision to skip migrating （遷徙） to Antarctic waters，the reason for the social super-groups remains a mystery．According to Findley，"It's possible that the behavior was occurring，but just not where it was visible （看得見的）．Because there were so few of them，we may not have seen it．"
  
  （1）What is implied about the humpback whales in Paragraph 2？

  
  A．They no longer hunt for food in the Antarctic waters．
  B．They usually spend the whole winter in the Antarctic waters．
  C．They are rarely seen in South African waters during April and May．
  D．They've changed their social behavior to adjust to the warmer waters．
  （2）According to Findley，why are the humpback whales seen in large groups now？

  
  A．Because they swim in populated areas now．
  B．Because their number has increased greatly．
  C．Because they need to work together to hunt for food．
  D．Because researchers pay closer attention to them now．
  （3）What does the passage mainly talk about？

  
  A．Reasons for the number of humpback whales increasing so greatly．
  B．How humpback whales adapt themselves to the changing environment．
  C．Why humpback whales appear off the coast of South Africa in large groups．
  D．Researchers' findings about a new whale species near the coast of South Africa．
