this resort town was long known for leatherback sea turtle (棱皮龟) national park, nightly turtle beach tours and even a sea turtle museum. however, on a beach where dozens of turtles used to nest on a given night, scientists spied only 32 leatherbacks all of last year. with leatherbacks threatened with extinction (灭绝), playa grandes turtle museum was abandoned three years ago and now sits among a sea of weeds. and the beachside ticket office for turtle tours was washed away by a high tide in september. “we do not promote that as a turtle tourism destination any more because we realize there are far too few turtles to please,” said alvaro fonseca, a park ranger (管理员). even before scientists found temperatures going up over the past decade, sea turtles were threatened by beach development, drift net fishing and costa ricans interest in eating turtle eggs. but climate change may cause the most serious harm to an animal that has lived in the pacific for 150 million years. sea turtles are sensitive to numerous effects of warming. they feed on reefs, which are dying in hotter seas. they lay eggs on beaches that are being covered by rising seas and more violent waves. more uniquely their gender (性别) is determined, not by genes but by the eggs temperature during development. small rises in beach temperatures can result in ail-female populations, obviously problematic for survival. if the sand around the eggs hits 30 degrees celsius, the gender balance shits to females: at about 32 degrees they are all female. above 34, you get boiled eggs. on some nesting beaches, scientists are artificially cooling nests with shade or irrigation and trying to protect broader areas of coastal property from development to ensure that turtles have a place to nest as the seas rise. 5. why does the resort town stop promoting its turtle tourism? a. it decides not to disturb the turtles normal life. b. tourists have lost interest in watching turtles. c. there are only very few turtles now. d. the turtle museum was destroyed by a high tide. 6. which of the following is the major factor in the turtles endangerment? a. the locals eating habit. b. drift net fishing. c. beach development. d. global warming. 7. we learn from the last paragraph that scientists. a. are doing research on the sea rise b. are moving turtles to new homesc. are protecting turtles nestsd. are getting rid of sea weeds8. the passage intends to. a. introduce a special kind of sea turtleb. explain the mystery of turtles eggsc. show the dangers a certain kind of turtle is facingd. attract more visitors to a sea turtle museum【参考答案】6.cdcc 阅读理解meeting people from another culture can be difficult. from the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. for example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in small talk, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. in many european countries - like the uk or france - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or caf6s rather than at the office.talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. i once made a speech in thailand. i had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. the people present just stared at me and smiled. after getting to know their ways better, i realized that they thought i was talking too much. in my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.even within northern europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. certainly, english and german cultures share similar values; however, germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. we think that they are rude. in fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.people from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. however, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other. 72. in some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _. a. develop closer relations b. share the same culture c. get to know each other d. keep each other company73. the author mentions his experience in thailand to show that _. a. the english prefer to make long speeches b. too many words are of no use c. people from thailand are quiet and shy by nature d. even talk and silence can be culturally different74. according to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?
