29、cause they can make impressive movements when they dive. The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whales back forms as it dives.Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement, known as a breach. During breaching the whale uses it

30、s powerful tail flukes to lift nearly two-thirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap. A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach.A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowhole

31、s which are located near the top of the head. It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 meters above the water.The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about two-thirds of the way down its back. Other distinguishing features include Hunting: Sometimes in grou

32、ps, in which several whales form a circle under the water, blowing bubbles that form a “net” around a school of fish. The fish are then forced up to the surface in a - 8 -concentrated mass.large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black, and white spots on the un

33、derside of the tail flukes. These markings are like fingerprints: no two are the same.Humpback whales live in large groups. They communicate with each other through complex “songs”.Current state: Endangered: it is estimated that there are about 5000-7000 humpback whales worldwide.56. According to Qu

34、ick Facts, a humpback whale .A. cannot survive in waters near the shore B. doesnt live in the same waters all the timeC. lives mainly on underwater plants D. prefers to work alone when hunting food57.

36、ue to its songsBPeople have wondered for a long time how their personalities and behaviors are formed. Its not easy to explain why one person is intelligent and another is not, or why one is cooperative and another is competitive.Social scientists are, of course, extremely interested in these types

37、of questions. They want to explain why we possess certain characteristics and exhibit certain behaviors. There are no clear answers yet, but two distinct schools of thought on the matter have developed. - 9 -As one might expect, the two approaches are very different from each another, and there is a

38、 great deal of debate between proponents of each theory. The controversy is often conveniently referred to as nature vs. nurture. Those who support the “nature” side of the conflict believe that our personalities and behavior patterns are largely determined by biological and genetic factors. That ou

39、r environment has little, if anything, to do with our abilities, characteristics, and behavior is central to this theory. Taken to an extreme, this theory maintains that our behavior is predetermined (注定) to such a degree that we are almost completely governed by our instincts (本能). Proponents of th

40、e “nurture” theory, or, as they are often called, behaviorists, claimed that our environment is more important than our biologically based instincts in determining how we will act. Behaviorist see humans as beings whose behavior is almost completely shaped by their surroundings. Their view of the hu

41、man being is quite mechanistic; they maintain that, like machines, humans respond to environmental stimuli (something that helps sb./sth. to develop better and more quickly) as the basis of their behavior. The social and political connections of these two theories are significant. In the United Stat

42、es, for example, blacks often score below whites on standardized intelligent test. This leads some “nature” proponents to conclude that blacks are genetically worse than whites. Behaviorists, in contrast, say that the differences in scores are due to the fact that blacks are often robbed of many of

43、the educational and other environmental advantages that whites enjoy, and that, as a result, they do not develop the same responses that whites do.Neither of these theories can yet fully explain human behavior. In fact, it is quite likely that the key to our behavior lies somewhere between these two

44、 extremes. That the argument will continue for a long time is certain.59. The author is mainly concerned about solving the problem .A. why our personalities and behaviors differB. what makes different stages of intelligenceC. how social scientists form different theoriesD. what causes the “nature/ n

45、urture” argument- 10 -60. Which of the following statements may be supported by the “nature” school?A. We are born with certain personalities and behaviors.B. Environment has nothing to do with our personalities.C. Abilities and characteristics are showed by behaviors.D. Only extreme behaviors are d

46、etermined by instincts.61. What can we learn about the behaviorists?A. They believe human beings are mechanical.B. They compare our behaviors to the machines.C. They suggest that we react to the environment as the machines do.D. They agree that the mechanistic theory can be applied on us as well.CFo

47、ur years ago ray sweet mom went to be with her Lord. She did it her way.I got 1he call at work, and I headed home quickly. Mora and Dad lived on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven.
