　　P3 杀人鲸

　　朗阁教师点评

　　1. 本次考试难度中等。

　　2. 整体分析：涉及文化类(P1)、科技类(P2)、生物类(P3)。

　　本场考试三篇文章作为7月份第一场考试，还是有一定难度的，文章内容整体虽然比较易懂，但出现比较晦涩难懂的学术性文章，第一篇共两个题型(判断和填空)，定位比较轻松，话题略生僻;第二篇文章为新题，虽然文章内容没有太大难度，但行文较学术化;第三篇为说明性质文体，话题能够引起兴趣，但难度相比略高。

　　3. 主要题型：本次考试配对题型主要出现在第二篇中的人名观点，但细节题比例依旧维持之前考试风格，且填空题型较多，相对更容易得分第一篇及第三篇无论填空还是判断，都比较好定位。

　　4. 文章分析：第一篇文章主要介绍了戏剧的发展及剧院的产生;

　　第二篇文章讲述各个建筑设计与环境的关系，如何利用建筑设计改善环境;

　　第三篇：主要介绍勒科学家对于杀人鲸的研究;

　　5. 部分答案及参考文章：

　　Passage 1：

　　题型：判断5+填空8

　　(文章待补充)

　　技巧分析：本文以旧为常规双细节搭配，考生应尽可能利用定位法找出答案，全细节文章，考生应注意题目的逻辑顺序，同时留意两个题型间的关系，如第二个题型的首题定位如何快速确定;填空题多注重空格分析的使用，从而提高解题效率;判断题要注意定位答案句的完整性，确定完整阅读答案句在做出判断。

　　Killer whales create and visit social clubs just like people do, scientists have discovered.Up to 100 fish-eating killer whales come togetherin the Avacha Gulf, off the coast of Russia.But no-one knew why these orcas form these huge superpods, when they normally live in smaller groups.

　　Now scientists report in the Journal of Ethology that these groups act as clubs in which the killer whales form and maintain social ties.

　　Fish-eating killer whales (Orcinus orca) in the Avacha Gulf live in stable groups called pods that contain an average of ten individuals and up to 20 in the largest pods.But researchers have seen up to eight of these pods coming together to form large groups of up to 100 animals.

　　These large aggregations of pods are seen in numerous places around the world where large numbers of killer whales occur such as British Columbia, Alaska, Iceland and Antarctica.It is unlikely that the whales gather for protection as they have no natural predators.In the past researchers have suggested that the killer whales meet to increase their foraging success or to breed.But the behaviour has not been quantified before.

　　To investigate, Olga Filatova of the Moscow State University and colleagues from the Far East Russia Orca project observed and photographed whales in the Avacha Gulf from a 4m long boat."At first we might see just a few spouts on the horizon. Then quickly we move among them, keeping a distance of a hundred metres so as not to bother them," explained project co-director Erich Hoyt of the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS), which provided the majority of funding for the project.

　　"As far as the eye can see, in every direction you see groupings of two to six killer whales surfacing, spouting then dipping below the surface."

　　"Each grouping has a focal mother figure surrounded by her offspring, some of whom may be full grown males with up to 2m dorsal fins that tower over the females," he says.They also used a special underwater directional microphone called a hydrophone to record the sound of the killer whale vocalisations. Each pod of fish-eating killer whales in the Avacha Gulf has a specific vocal dialect which could be pinpointed by the hydrophone, while individual killer whales can also be identified by the shape of their dorsal fins and markings.That allowed the scientists to analyse the killer whales' behaviour.

　　The whales rarely forage and feed when they gather into a much larger superpod, the scientists found.That suggests they do not gather to herd fish or increase their foraging success. In fact, say the scientists, depending on the type of prey, a superpod might have the effect of decreasing the feeding success of each whale making it unproductive to feed in large groups.

　　However, the killer whales did interact much more during these large gatherings that lasted from a few hours to almost half a day.When meeting killer whales from other family pods, they made contact with each other, swam in synchrony and rubbed flippers much more often, the researchers found.Sexual activity also increased, suggesting that these big aggregations provide a chance to assess potential breeding partners.However, these behaviours likely have a greater function beyond reproduction, the scientists believe.

　　Club life

　　They enable the killer whales to establish and maintain social bonds and it is for that reason that the killer whales gather in core meeting areas and form large aggregations.

　　Maintaining social bonds is crucial for many social mammals which live and hunt together.But maintaining connections with the wider community may be especially important for killer whales, which tend to live long lives in relatively small communities with low birth rates.Killer whales also face challenges with high calf mortality rates which may be as high as 50% in the first six months."Understanding more about their social lives, including their reproduction, will be crucial to our future understanding of them and our ability to keep their population healthy," Hoyt says.

　　The team has also recently extended the study outside of the Avacha Gulf further north and south along the Kamchatka coast and to the offshore Commander Islands to learn more about other killer whale groups, including the mammal-eating type of killer whale that feeds on porpoises, seals and sea otters.

　　考试预测

　　1. 2021年7月第一场考试，难度正常，本月还未出现句子完成配对，考生应着重准备。对于本月的下一场考试，考生应沉着应对，重点练习单选题型及填空，减少定位时间，提高定位准度，对接下来的考试都是有明显帮助的。

　　2. 下场考试的话题可能依旧为发展史类，技术类，教育类。

　　3. 重点浏览2019年机经。
