2、ralias largest stranding event on record,the BBC reported.But this large amount of whale stranding is not uncommon.For centuries,it has happened all over the world and has puzzled scientists.Scientists say the cause is often unknown.But they have offered many different explanations.Some say the whal
3、es chase small fish for food and end up in shallow water because they are not paying attention to where they are going.Others think the stranding has something to do with Earths geomagnetic field(地磁场).They say that a geomagnetic compass in whales brains controls their position.Unusual changes in Ear
4、ths magnetic field can affect the whales compasses and send them in the wrong direction.Another explanation suggests that stranding is caused by the close relationships that whales have.Pilot whales travel in large groups.One lead whale might mistakenly lead the whole group to shallow water.“And if
5、one gets into trouble,the others will not leave,”said Sheryl Gibney,a leading biologist fromNew Zealand.“Some will come in and try to help,they get trapped on the beach,then more will come.”The whales are trapped by mistake or out of sympathy(同情).Once they get stranded,they will likely die.According
6、 to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration of theUS,less than 10 percent of all stranded whales survive.1.What do we know about the stranding inAustralia?A.It happened on theeast coast ofAustralia.B.It caused the death of over 300 pilot whales.C.It is commonly seen in September each yea

9、 the cannibalistic(食人的)event discovered by scientists in a cave in the 1990s.Now,researchersmay have figured out why the Neanderthals,including two children,became victims of cannibalism:Global warming.While previous studies have examined Neanderthal remains to find proof of cannibalistic behavior,t
10、his is the first study to offer clues as to what may have led Neanderthals to become cannibals.Scientists found that rapid changes in local ecosystems as the planet warmed may have wiped out the animal species that Neanderthals ate,forcing them to look elsewhere to fill their stomachs.The researcher
11、s examined a layer of sediment(沉积物)in a cave known as Baume Moula-Guercy,in southeastern France.In that layer,charcoal(碳)and animal bones were so well-preserved that scientists could reconstruct an environmental picture representing 120,000 to 130,000 years ago.They discovered that the climate in th
12、e area was likely even warmer than it is today,and that the change from a cold,dry climate to a warmer one happened quickly.“Maybe within a few generations”,study co-author Emmanuel said.As the animals that once populated the landscape disappeared,some Neanderthals ate what they could find their nei
13、ghbors.Cannibalism is by no means unique to Neanderthals,and has been practiced by humans and their s“from the early Palaeolithic to theBronze Age and beyond,”the study authors reported.The behavior adopted by the starving Neanderthals in the Baume Moula-Guercy should therefore not be viewed as“a ma
