• 9．I went on a whale-watching tour when I was on holiday in Hervey Bay．It was amazing．The captain stopped our boat 100 metres from where two humpback whales（座頭鯨） were playing．
     The crew on our whale-watching boat told us，the passengers，to make a lot of noise and wave our arms to attract the whales interest．It sure did．Two adult humpback whales came right up to our boat，swam under it and around it，and floated alongside，looking at us．The whales were so close we could have reached out to touch them．
     We could see other boats and whales in the Bay．All whale-watching boats have to follow strict rules to protect the whales．The rules were established by the Environment Protection Agency．The rules state that if one boat is within 300 metres of a whale no other boat is allowed to approach the whale．Boats are not allowed to approach any whales head-on，get between any whales in a group，or separate a mother from her baby，and they have to be careful not to bother the whales in any other way．Helicopters aren't allowed for whale watching and other aircrafts have to stay 300 metres away．All these are in the interest of whales safety．
     While on the tour I learned that humpbacks travel through Hervey Bay again on their way back south to Antarctica to feed on krill（磷蝦）．Obviously the Antarctic winter is too cold for whale babies because they don't have enough blubber（鯨脂） yet to survive there．The humpback migration from Antarctica up the Queensland coast is one of the longest migrations in the animal kingdom and the journey to Antarctica is dangerous and tiring for whale babies．The baby travels following its mother and drinks her rich milk to fatten up．Older whales don't usually eat anything as they migrate．They must be very hungry by the time they get back to Antarctica!
    Our boat had a special microphone so we could hear the males singing．It was unbelievable．I love whales．
     They are beautiful and playful．
  
  （1）How did the whales react to the noise？

  
  A．They were scared of it．
  B．They totally ignored it．
  C．They were curious about it．
  D．They calmed down when hearing it．
  （2）How does the author feel about whale-watching rules？

  
  A．Unconcerned．
  B．Respectful
  C．Confused
  D．Annoyed
  （3）Why is the journey to Antarctica dangerous for whale babies？

  
  A．They will meet lots of boats on the way
  B．They can't find anything to eat during migration
  C．They have to keep a certain distance from their mothers
  D．They can't protect themselves from the low temperature
  （4）What's the author's attitude towards whales？

  
  A．Impressed but fearful
  B．Friendly but cautious
  C．Interested and admiring
  D．Considerate and worried
  （5）What's the purpose of the text？

  
  A．To promote whale watching．
  B．To advertise a whale-watching tour．
  C．To describe a whale-watching experience．
  D．To give an introduction of humpback whales．

  Clearly you have been watching too many episodes of Downton Abbey．Anyway，afternoon tea is a snack between lunch and dinner （1）

  （accompany）by a cup of tea．We regular British people drink tea and eat snacks （2）

  we feel like it-8 a．m．，9 p．m．，2 a．m..In my house while I was growing up，we would have a big dinner at lunch time（weekends mainly）and then tea later．This would consist of a sandwich and a piece of cake that we ate in front of the telly．We were so full from the enormous lunch （3）

  all we could manage was small meal．Even now the meal after work/school is called tea whether you drink tea with it or not，and whether it consists of sandwiches or is a main meal．

  else they have．

  （change），but afternoon tea still exists．

      I go shopping with friends to the town centre．We've looked in all the shops and now we need to sit down and think about （7）

  shops to return to for those final purchases．Look at that，it's almost 4 p．m..It may be that we sit down for a cappuccino and a couple of macarons but I can only think of one way to describe this…Afternoon tea!
      We're in the office．Boring! （8）

  we've more or less finished for the day，the clock says no．Someone puts the kettle （9）

  and we sit down for a chat about the next few days．Ooh someone found a box of cupcakes…Wow!We've just had …afternoon tea!
      We （10）

  not be using flowery teacups．We're not dressed like characters from Downton Abbey either．We may not sit there for two hours．But do we still stop at 4 p．m．for a drink and something to eat？YES!
