10、解析：听力原文 The message that the top performers in our society / are not the most skilled and shouldnt be copied, / appears to be different from what we expected. / Yet this report says that those who appear to have achieved the most/are often the beneficiaries of luck, an external, random force. / Luck

11、 is often at work in the lives of the most successful, / which means their achievements arent completely attributable to their own skills. / The researcher advocates looking at those who are the second best. / Most of them arent relying on lucky chances, / so their performances offer an opportunity

12、to measure real success. / 解析 本文主题：成功源自运气还是努力。本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项调查研究的结果，那就是最成功的人往往是因为运气，而非技能。文中需要注意的较易拼错的单词有“external，random，attributable，opportunity”，需要注意时态和单复数的单词有“advocates，performers，beneficiaries”。二、PART LISTENING COM(总题数：0，分数：0.00)三、SECTION A TALK(总题数：1，分数：30.00)Whale Falls1.

15、 Clams live off sulfidea gas that 9 give off More than 10 species live on a single whale skeleton Last for decades （分数：30.00）填空项1:_（正确答案：Huge。）解析： Huge。 听力原文 Whale FallsGood morning, everyone! Today we are going to talk about a kind of marine mammal. Their calls can be haunting. Their size can take

16、your breath away. And their worlds are dark and quiet. Yes, we are going to talk about whales, to be exact, something about the death of whales. There are many different species of these huge, warm-blooded, air-breathing mammals that live in the sea. There is the blue whale and the killer whale, the

17、 humpback and the orca, just to name a few. According to several science websites, whales live a long time. There are many different species of whales and each has a different lifespan. The average lifespan, however, is about 50 years. In the wild whales live for a long time. Bowhead whales spend th

18、eir lives in the cold Arctic waters. They may be the worlds oldest mammals, living possibly more than 200 years! As they lived, these giants of the sea die big. Before gases develop in the body, or carcass, of a dead whale it sinks to the ocean floor. This is called a whale fall and it supplies room

19、 and board, in other words, food and shelter, to thousands of ocean creatures for many decades. Scientists have only recently discovered just how many species live in a whale fall. This is mostly because of the difficulty in finding whale falls in the ocean. It is like trying to find a needle in a h

20、aystack, as we like to say. The smell of the dead whale brings the first stage of feedersthe traveling, or mobile scavengers. A wide variety of fish and sharks come from miles and miles to scavenge the dead whales soft flesh or tissue. This phase can last as short as several months to as long as two

21、 years. As you can imagine, these first stage scavengers are messy eaters. Their feeding frenzies leave a thick layer of pieces of the whale, what scientists call biomaterial, on the sea floor. This is when the dinner bell rings for the second stage scavengers. During the second stage of decompositi

22、on strange creatures appear. Shrimp-like creatures, crustaceans such as crabs and mollusks eat the small pieces of whale tissue that has dropped to the ocean floor. Hairy worms are also part of this stage. They feed on the whalebones making the whale carcass look like a carpet-a moving, living carpe

23、t. This phase can last up to two years. The third and final stage is the longest. It can last for decades. The flesh of the whale has long been eaten. But even the bones support life. As the whale bones decay, they produce sulfide, a type of gas. This gas supports a rich variety of life. Worms, muss

24、els and several types of clams live off the gas that the whalebones give off. Researchers found more than 30,000 animals totaling more than 200 species on one, single whale skeleton. Scientists who have studied the life of a whale fall found that the community of life and rare species of this final

25、stage is larger than any known community on the deep seafloor. Ok, having talked so much about the stages of a whale fall, I hope that you can have a complete picture of what a whale fall is and understand that whales never die on the ocean floor. 解析 信息题。根据录音可知鲸鱼是一种海洋哺乳动物，它体型巨大。 填空项1:_（正确答案：50。）解析：
