CAN NOISE POLLUTION AFFECT WILDLIFE?

There's no escaping noise pollution, even if you're out in the middle of nowhere The roar of the trucks on the highway orthe sound of a plane flying overhead can penetrate the deepest forest; yet it is not only humans that are bothered by the noise

Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effects of noise pollution on wildlife, and has discovered some

interesting behaviour, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization, like humans do Birds, frogs, and insectsuse sound to attract mates, defend territory, and alert their kin to danger, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout overthe din to be heard

Krause cites a study of nightingales carried out in Berlin in 2002 to illustrate his point The birds responded to traffic noise

by singing louder and louder until they actually exceeded noise pollution standards in the city In order to belt out their songs,they had to increase their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists maintain that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves Studies show that sudden loud noises can cause some bird species to leave their nests, exposing the young to predators Onestudy also showed that songbirds that nested closer to busy highways produced fewer young than those that nested fartheraway Mammals, too, are affected A 1992 study showed that nursing caribou respond to plane noise by not producingenough milk to nourish their young

Some animals, such as whales and dolphins, are affected by underwater noise Sonar from ships, motors from boats, andmachine sounds from oil exploration create so much noise underwater that breeding whales need to make more noise tocompensate so they can communicate with their offspring

In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others Toads and frogs are known to vocalize

in synchrony so that no predator can zero in on them Krause found that when planes flew overhead and masked the toads'

songs, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again That gave Great Horned Owls and

coyotes plenty of time to locate individual toads by sound

A hundred years ago noise pollution was mainly an urban problem, but it has spread with the advent of the internal

combustion engine Krause concludes, "Not only will noise pollution in natural habitats bother wildlife, but it won't help our

lives either."

Question 30: According to the article, the main source of noise pollution is

Question 31: The Berlin nightingales sang louder

A by synchronizing their singing B by standing on higher perches.

C by imitating the noise of the cars D by using their organs to a greater capacity.

Question 32: Young caribou suffer from aircraft noise because

A their mothers often abandon them B they receive less food.

C they can’t communicate with their mothers D they can’t sleep at night.

Question 33: Toads and frogs become more vulnerable when

A they sing at a different pitch B they sing for longer periods of time.

C they fail to sing in unison D they sing louder than usual.

Question 34: Whales and dolphins deal with underwater noise

A by producing more offspring B by emitting louder sounds.

C by keeping away from boats and ships D by communicating less with each other.

Question 35: Birds, frogs, and insects do not use their voices

Trang 3

C to warn similar species of danger D to trap possible prey.

Question 36: The idiom “zero in on”is closest in meaning to

A take toll on B do damage to C direct attention towards D play havoc on

MAKING A LIVING

It is my opinion that literature is at the same time and at once the most intimate and the most articulate of all the art forms It

is impossible for it to impart its effect through the senses or the nerves as can other forms of art; it is beautiful only throughthe intelligence of both the reader and writer; it is the mind speaking to the mind; until it has been put into absolute terms, of

an invariable significance, it does not exist at all It is able to awaken one emotion in one person and a totally differentemotion in another; if it fails to convey precisely the meaning of the author, if it isn't an expression of him or her, it saysnothing, and thus it is nothing So that when a poet has put their heart and soul, more or less, into a poem, and has sold it to amagazine, the scandal is far greater than when a painter has sold a picture to a paying patron, or a sculptor has modelled astatue to order, or a photographer has produced a landscape photograph for a popular magazine These are artists lessarticulate and less intimate than the scribe; they are more removed from the work they produce; they are often less personallyinvolved in their work; they part with less of themselves

That Tennyson, Longfellow and Emerson sold their poems and essays - works in which they had couched the most mystical

messages their genius was charged to bequeath to mankind - does not, however, diminish the virtuosity of their

achievements They submitted to the conditions from which no one can escape, which are nonetheless the conditions of

hucksters because they are generally imposed upon poets and writers If it will serve to make my meaning clearer, we will suppose that a poet has been crossed in love, or has suffered some bad fortune or some real sorrow, like the loss of a wife or

child He pours out his broken heart in verse that shall bring tears of scared sympathy from his readers, and an editor payshim a hundred pounds for the right of bringing his verse to their notice and for allowing them to print it in their publications

It is perfectly true that the real reason that the poem was written was not for the monetary benefit, but it is also perfectly true that it was sold for it The poet is forced into using his emotions to pay his bills; he has no other means of making a living;

society does not propose to pay his bills for him, after all, so what choice does he really have? Yet, at the end of the day, theunsophisticated witness finds the transaction ridiculous, repulsive, and, to a great extent, exploitative But deep down they areperfectly aware that if our huckster civilisation did not at every moment violate the relationships we undertake in the world,the poet's song wouldn't have been given to it, and the scribe wouldn't have been extolled by the whole of humanity, as anyhuman should be who does the duty that every human owes it

The instinctive sense of the dishonour which money brings to art is so strong that sometimes men and women of letters able

to pay their bills, to pay their way through other means, refuse money for their work, as Lord Byron did, from a noble

conscience But Byron's publisher profited from a generosity which did not reach his readers; and the Countess Tolstoy

collects the copyright royalties which her husband forgoes; so that these two instances of protest against business in literaturemay hardly be said to have shaken the world of commerce in literature to the core of its money basis I know of no others butthere may be many that exist of whom I am culpably ignorant Still, I would very much doubt if there are enough to affect thefact that literature has become business as well as art At present, business is the only human solidarity; we are all boundtogether with that chain, whatever the interests, tastes and principles that otherwise separate us

CAN NOISE POLLUTION AFFECT WILDLIFE?

There's no escaping noise pollution, even if you're out in the middle of nowhere The roar of the trucks on the highway orthe sound of a plane flying overhead can penetrate the deepest forest; yet it is not only humans that are bothered by the noise

Bioacoustician Bernie Krause has been studying the effects of noise pollution on wildlife, and has discovered some

interesting behaviour, especially among animals that communicate by vocalization, like humans do Birds, frogs, and insectsuse sound to attract mates, defend territory, and alert their kin to danger, but in noisy places, these animals have to shout overthe din to be heard

Krause cites a study of nightingales carried out in Berlin in 2002 to illustrate his point The birds responded to traffic noise

by singing louder and louder until they actually exceeded noise pollution standards in the city In order to belt out their songs,they had to increase their lung pressure fivefold, but scientists maintain that this is not dangerous for the birds themselves Studies show that sudden loud noises can cause some bird species to leave their nests, exposing the young to predators Onestudy also showed that songbirds that nested closer to busy highways produced fewer young than those that nested fartheraway Mammals, too, are affected A 1992 study showed that nursing caribou respond to plane noise by not producingenough milk to nourish their young

Some animals, such as whales and dolphins, are affected by underwater noise Sonar from ships, motors from boats, andmachine sounds from oil exploration create so much noise underwater that breeding whales need to make more noise tocompensate so they can communicate with their offspring

In some cases noise pollution can actually help some animals while harming others Toads and frogs are known to vocalize

in synchrony so that no predator can zero in on them Krause found that when planes flew overhead and masked the toads'

songs, they lost their synchronicity, and it took them 45 minutes to get it back again That gave Great Horned Owls and

coyotes plenty of time to locate individual toads by sound

A hundred years ago noise pollution was mainly an urban problem, but it has spread with the advent of the internal

combustion engine Krause concludes, "Not only will noise pollution in natural habitats bother wildlife, but it won't help our

lives either."

Question 27: According to the article, the main source of noise pollution is

Question 28: The Berlin nightingales sang louder

A by using their organs to a greater capacity B by imitating the noise of the cars.

C by standing on higher perches D by synchronizing their singing.

Question 30: Birds, frogs, and insects do not use their voices

C to warn similar species of danger D in mating rituals.

Question 31: Young caribou suffer from aircraft noise because

A they can’t communicate with their mothers B their mothers often abandon them.

C they receive less food D they can’t sleep at night.

Question 32: Toads and frogs become more vulnerable when

A they sing louder than usual B they fail to sing in unison.

C they sing at a different pitch D they sing for longer periods of time.

Question 33: Whales and dolphins deal with underwater noise

Trang 11

A by keeping away from boats and ships B by producing more offspring.

C by emitting louder sounds D by communicating less with each other.

FINDING NEW SPECIES

A group of scientists recently conducted a biodiversity survey of a tropical forest in Suriname, Latin America One day, a

local guide caught a large catfish, and was on the (34) of cutting it up for cooking when two of the scientists intervened They had noticed that the creature had (35) long spines, probably to protect it from predators It turned out to be anundiscovered species Unlike any catfish in reference books, the as yet unnamed fish was one of 46 candidates for newspecies status that the scientists found during their visit

In the 1730s, Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (36) rules for classifying species, the most basic biological (37) ; since

then, scientists have catalogued more than 1.7 million species, but it is thought that there may be as many as 8.7 million onearth Figures for different groups of animals have been (38) and most mammal, birds and reptiles are believed to havebeen discovered Fish, shellfish and spiders, however, are a different story, and literally millions of species of insects (39) for future generations to discover

MAKING A LIVING

It is my opinion that literature is at the same time and at once the most intimate and the most articulate of all the art forms It

is impossible for it to impart its effect through the senses or the nerves as can other forms of art; it is beautiful only throughthe intelligence of both the reader and writer; it is the mind speaking to the mind; until it has been put into absolute terms, of

an invariable significance, it does not exist at all It is able to awaken one emotion in one person and a totally differentemotion in another; if it fails to convey precisely the meaning of the author, if it isn't an expression of him or her, it saysnothing, and thus it is nothing So that when a poet has put their heart and soul, more or less, into a poem, and has sold it to amagazine, the scandal is far greater than when a painter has sold a picture to a paying patron, or a sculptor has modelled astatue to order, or a photographer has produced a landscape photograph for a popular magazine These are artists lessarticulate and less intimate than the scribe; they are more removed from the work they produce; they are often less personallyinvolved in their work; they part with less of themselves

That Tennyson, Longfellow and Emerson sold their poems and essays - works in which they had couched the most mystical

messages their genius was charged to bequeath to mankind - does not, however, diminish the virtuosity of their

achievements They submitted to the conditions from which no one can escape, which are nonetheless the conditions of

hucksters because they are generally imposed upon poets and writers If it will serve to make my meaning clearer, we will suppose that a poet has been crossed in love, or has suffered some bad fortune or some real sorrow, like the loss of a wife or

child He pours out his broken heart in verse that shall bring tears of scared sympathy from his readers, and an editor payshim a hundred pounds for the right of bringing his verse to their notice and for allowing them to print it in their publications

It is perfectly true that the real reason that the poem was written was not for the monetary benefit, but it is also perfectly true that it was sold for it The poet is forced into using his emotions to pay his bills; he has no other means of making a living;

society does not propose to pay his bills for him, after all, so what choice does he really have? Yet, at the end of the day, theunsophisticated witness finds the transaction ridiculous, repulsive, and, to a great extent, exploitative But deep down they areperfectly aware that if our huckster civilisation did not at every moment violate the relationships we undertake in the world,the poet's song wouldn't have been given to it, and the scribe wouldn't have been extolled by the whole of humanity, as anyhuman should be who does the duty that every human owes it

The instinctive sense of the dishonour which money brings to art is so strong that sometimes men and women of letters able

to pay their bills, to pay their way through other means, refuse money for their work, as Lord Byron did, from a noble

conscience But Byron's publisher profited from a generosity which did not reach his readers; and the Countess Tolstoy

collects the copyright royalties which her husband forgoes; so that these two instances of protest against business in literaturemay hardly be said to have shaken the world of commerce in literature to the core of its money basis I know of no others butthere may be many that exist of whom I am culpably ignorant Still, I would very much doubt if there are enough to affect thefact that literature has become business as well as art At present, business is the only human solidarity; we are all boundtogether with that chain, whatever the interests, tastes and principles that otherwise separate us
