Have yu ever had the feeling that yu can’t think when there is t much nise arund? Did yu ever think a fish culd experience that feeling
t? A recent paper published in Science titled “Sundscape (声景) f the Anthrpcene Oceans”, cmbined ver 10,000 scientific papers, cnfirming
that undersea life knws that exact same feeling, mre ften than nt. Anthrpgenic (人为的) cean nise, als knwn as underwater nise pllutin,
has created a dramatic impact n marine life due t “human-caused” activity within and neighbring ur ceans.
Disney Pixar’s animated film Finding Nem educated us abut the cean, and specifically within the rdinary wrld f a clwn fish. A fact many
may nt knw is that clwn fish spend the first part f their lives as larvae (幼体), drifting with the current f the cean until they becme strng enugh
t swim against it. Once they are pwerful and strng, they head hme in sheltered cral reefs. There is nly ne drawback-the fish can’t physically see
the reef, but they can hear it. The nly prblem is, if they can’t hear it, will they ever make it hme?
Our anthrpgenic cean nise, such as carg ships, ship and bat prpellers (螺旋桨), surfing, deep sea mining, etc. are causing destructin f
marine life. Accrding t Time, sund is the sensry signal that travels the farthest thrugh the cean. Anthrpgenic nise drwns ut the natural
sundscapes, putting marine life under immense stress. Altgether, this stress then affects their general health, disrupts their behavir, physilgy,
reprductin and, in extreme cases, causes death. Marine life can adapt t nise pllutin, hwever, nly if they can escape it. This nly renders further
cmplicatins f frcing species t leave their traditinal breeding regins r their families.
Nw, what if we tld yu there is already a slutin? Multiple slutins, ideas and designs are currently in the wrks r already exist t reduce and
reverse the damage f anthrpgenic cean nise. As Time explains, frm wind-pwered ships t nise-reducing prpellers, flating wind turbines and
“bubble curtains” that muffle cnstructin nise, the slutins are already available and in sme cases, cst-effective. The authrs f the paper hpe it
will catch the attentin f plicymakers, wh histrically speaking, have ignred the matter still t this day.
Of all the challenges cean creatures are battling, luckily sund pllutin is the easiest cmprmise (妥协方案) humans can make. Once the nise has
decreased, marine life will be able t better manage everything else it is up against.
【小题1】What d we knw abut “Sundscape f the Anthrpcene Oceans”?
A．It analyses hw sund travels in the cean.
B．It discusses different types f cean pllutin.
C．It explres the effects f nise pllutin n sea life.
D．It studies hw sea animals cmmunicate with each ther.
【小题2】The authr mentins clwn fish in Paragraph 2 t ________.

A．present their life cycles
B．shw hw terrible their living cnditins are
C．intrduce a famus animatin abut the cean wrld
D．stress the imprtance f natural sundscapes t sea life
【小题3】What des the underlined wrd “renders” prbably mean in Paragraph 3?
A．Reduces.
B．Causes.
C．Slves.
D．Prevents.
【小题4】The authr writes the article t ________.
A．publicize the knwledge f sundscape
B．regulate human’s activities n the cean
C．emphasize the imprtance f animal prtectin
D．draw peple’s attentin t anthrpgenic cean nise
The issue f hw t feed a grwing ppulatin is a crucial issue fr the 21st century. The issue was high n the agenda (当务之急) at the recent
United Natins Climate Change Cnference in Egypt. Accrding t the UN, by 2050, we will need t prduce 60% mre fd t feed a wrld ppulatin
f 9.3 billin.
Cambridge Judge Business Schl supprts a number f businesses which aim t prmte sustainable agriculture practices. One f the mst
imprtant fields is precisin (精准) agriculture, the science f imprving crp yields and assisting management decisins using the latest technlgy.
Outfield Technlgies is targeted at high value fruit farming. Farmers buy their wn drnes (无人机), and then the Outfield sftware creates flight plans
ver the farm and prcesses the images taken by the drnes.
By cunting the fruit n branches and measuring trees, farmers can see where t apply fertiliser with greater precisin, reducing usage and
imprving sil sustainability. Outfield’s sftware can als recmmend where t start harvesting t reduce waste and labur csts. The rising cst f
labur glbally has becme a huge issue within the agricultural industry, fr reasns including the shrtage f backpackers (sme f whm becme
seasnal wrkers) in New Zealand, and the rise f minimum pay in Suth Africa.
The data gathered by drnes can als predict yields. “Priming” the supply chain ensures a smther jurney frm the farm t fruit bwl in yur
hme. When an apple is picked, it is stred in a refrigerated envirnment fr up t six mnths befre being transprted t a pack huse t be washed,
srted, packaged, befre being mved t a delivery centre and finally appearing n supermarket shelves. The chain depends heavily n transprtatin,
but by predicting yields, Outfield aims t reduce waste as traders can predict fruit levels and reduce greenhuse gases caused by refrigerated strage.
Outfield c-funder Oil Hilburne said, “The agricultural industry needs mre investment t change. Mre mney fr 5G, educatin and investment
in start-ups.”
【小题1】What des Outfield Technlgies d fr farmers?
A．It ffers them free flights.
B．It versees farms fr them.
C．It teaches them abut high value fruits.
D．It uses drne-taken images t advertise farms.
【小题2】What labur prblems are different cuntries facing?
A．Pay in Suth Africa is very lw.
B．Suth Africa can’t agree n minimum pay.
C．Backpackers in New Zealand fail t get paid fairly.
D．New Zealand isn’t drawing enugh seasnal wrkers.
【小题3】By gathering data by drne, the Outfield tries t_________.
A．bst the yield f fruit
B．make sure the fruit can keep fresh
C．ensure the fruits are transprted timely
【小题4】Which wuld be the best title fr the passage?
A．The future f farming
D．prvide mre cnvenient services t custmers
B．The trend f fruit picking
C．The prmising market f high value fruits
D．The psitive effects f farming n envirnment
