Many people living in cities see riding a bicycle as good exercise. But, a recent medical 【1】 research warned that cyclists should think twice before cycling in the streets: it actually does more harm than good 【2】 their bodies.
Is cycling in cities really bad for your health? Probably yes. The main danger comes from the air around you. Breathing 【3】 in air pollution from taxis and buses can damage blood vessels(血管).Scientists say the damage could outweigh the health benefits of cycling.
David Newby, a British 【4】 researcher at Edinburgh University broke the news. In his tests, 15 healthy men cycled 【5】 on exercise bikes in a room with levels of air pollution similar to those found 【6】 on a crowded city street. After an hour of cycling, the scientists found their blood vessels became less flexible and produced less of a protein(蛋白质)【7】 the heart needs. The damage leads to the early stages of heart disease. What's worse, the faster a cyclist pedals (蹬车),【8】 more air they breathe in. So those who believe 【9】 they are improving their fitness the most are storing up the biggest trouble for themselves 【10】.

【题目】The loud continuous noise of the cars or the sound of a plane can force its way into the deepest forest, yet it’s not only humans that are bothered by the noise.
Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effect of noise pollution on wildlife, and has come across some interesting behaviors, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization(发声), like humans. Birds use sound to communicate, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout over the natural noise to be heard.
Krause mentions a study of nightingales to clarify what he means. The birds responded to traffic noise by singing louder and louder until they actually went beyond noise pollution standards in the city. To belt out (sing loudly) their songs, they increased their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists state that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves.
Studies show that sudden noise can cause certain birds to leave their nests, exposing the young to their enemies. One study also showed that songbirds that nested close to busy motorways were much less productive than those that nested farther away. Mammals(哺乳动物)too are affected. A recent study showed that nursing caribou responded to plane noise by not producing enough milk to feed their young.
In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others. Toads(蟾蜍)and frogs are known to vocalize in synchrony(同步;同步方式)so that no predator (their enemies) can zero in on them. Krause found that when planes flew overhead and disturbed the toad’s song, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again. That gave their natural enemies plenty of time to find and catch individual toads by sound.
According to Kruse, “Not only will noise pollution bother wildlife, but it won’t help our lives either.”
【1】How do young caribou suffer from aircraft noise?
A. They receive less food. B. They can’t sleep at night.
C. They are often displaced. D. They can’t hear their mothers.
【2】What would happen if toads and frogs failed to sing in union?
A. They might become defenseless.
B. They would stop communicating.
C. They would soon regain their rhythm.
D. They might ne unable to hunt in groups.
【3】What is the text mainly about?
A. The effects of noise pollution on wildlife.
B. The causes of noise pollution.
C. Animals’ reaction to noises.
D. The ways animals communicate with each other.

【题目】 Darrell Blatchley, a marine biologist and environmentalist based in the Philippine city of Davao, received a call from the philippines’ Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (渔业与水产资源局) early Friday morning reporting a death of a young whale.
When the necropsy (尸检) was performed, Blatchley told NPR, he was not prepared for the amount of plastic they found in the whale’s stomach. “It was full of plastic- nothing but nonstop plastic,” he said. “It was filled to the point that its stomach was as hard as a baseball.” “That means that this animal has been suffering not for days or weeks but for months or even a year or more.” Blatchley added.
Blatchley is the founder and owner of the D’ Bone Collector Museum, a natural history museum in Davao. In the coming days, the museum will display all the items found in the whale’s system.
Blatchley and his team work with the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources and other organizations to assist in rescue and recovery of marine animals.
“Within the last 10 years, we have recovered 61 whales and dolphins just within the Davao Gulf,” he said. “Of them, 57 have died due to man --whether they took plastic or fishing nets or other waste, or gotten caught in pollution-- and four were pregnant.”
Blatchley said he hoped that the latest incident would launch the issue of plastic pollution in the Philippines and across the globe. “If we keep going this way, it will be more uncommon to see an animal die of natural causes than it is to see an animal die of plastic.” he said.
【1】What can be inferred from the second paragraph?
A.The whale was starved to death.
B.Blatchley didn’t make preparations for the necropsy.
C.The dead whale must have swallowed a baseball.
D.Blatchley was shocked at what he found.
【2】What does Blatchley think of plastic pollution in the Philippines?
A.Uncommon.B.Inspiring.
C.Worrying.D.Puzzling.
【3】What is the best title for the text?
A.Natural Death or Merciless murder.
B.Stand Up for Protecting Whales.
C.Plastic Threatening Our Existence.
D.A Whale Found Dead of Plastic.
