Ниже представлены выполненные задания со страницы 115 учебника **Spotlight 11** («Module 6: Going Green — Ocean Noise Pollution»). --- ### Итоговый ответ #### Exercise 1 **a)** Пример сопоставления звуков и чувств: * **waves** — makes me feel *calm / relaxed*. * **seagulls** — makes me feel *peaceful / happy*. * **a boat engine** — makes me feel *annoyed / uneasy*. * **a ship's horn** — makes me feel *alarmed / startled*. * **a drill** — makes me feel *irritated / tense*. * **an explosion** — makes me feel *anxious / scared / terrified*. **b)** **Sample answer:** Man-made underwater noises (like boat engines, drills, and explosions) interfere with ocean animals’ natural communication, hunting, and navigation systems. These noises can deafen, confuse, disorient, or even kill sea mammals such as whales and dolphins, causing them to get stranded on beaches. --- #### Exercise 2 | A | B | C | | :---: | :---: | :---: | | **4** | **1** | **2** | *(Лишний заголовок — **3 A Difficult Job**)* --- #### Exercise 3 **Matching underlined words to their definitions:** * **know where sth/sb is** — *keep track of* * **weak** — *faint* * **unable to leave a place** — *stranded* * **strong** — *powerful* / *loud* * **extreme** — *intense* **Explaining words/phrases in bold:** * **low-frequency:** sound waves that vibrate at a slow rate and travel long distances underwater. *(низкочастотный)* * **ocean noise pollution:** harmful levels of human-made noise in the marine environment (ships, drilling, sonar). *(шумовое загрязнение океана)* * **environmentalists:** people who actively work to protect the natural environment from destruction or pollution. *(экологи / защитники окружающей среды)* * **international agreements:** official rules and treaties signed between different countries. *(международные соглашения)* --- #### Exercise 4 (Portfolio: 2-minute talk) > "Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak with you today. > > As an environmentalist, I am here to discuss the critical issue of ocean noise pollution caused by your industrial activities. For ocean mammals, such as whales and dolphins, sound is everything. They do not rely primarily on sight in the dark ocean depths; instead, they use sound to navigate, find food, communicate with their pods, and locate mates. > > The loud underwater sounds from your drills, seismic blasts, and heavy vessel engines are deafening and devastating to marine life. This noise pollution disorients these magnificent creatures, interferes with their echolocation, and causes severe trauma. In the worst cases, it leads to mass strandings on our coastlines and fatal internal bleeding. > > We are not asking you to cease your business operations entirely, but we urge you to take immediate responsibility. Please invest in quieter technologies, reduce vessel speeds in sensitive areas, and suspend noisy underwater operations during migration and breeding seasons. By doing so, you can protect marine biodiversity while continuing to run your business sustainably. Thank you for your time and cooperation." --- #### Exercise 5 (THINK! Discussion) **Sample opinion:** > Thoreau suggests that human progress and industrialization inherently come at the expense of nature, meaning that prioritizing human convenience often leads to the destruction of the natural world. However, in the modern world, this mindset must change. We need to find harmony and balance: human development should be sustainable and respectful of wildlife and ecosystems, rather than exploiting them. --- ### Подробное объяснение и разбор заданий 1. **Exercise 2 (Matching Headings):** * **Paragraph A — 4 (A World of Sound):** В первом абзаце рассказывается о том, как устроен подводный мир китов и дельфинов, где звук является главным способом ориентации, общения и охоты. * **Paragraph B — 1 (Deadly Noises):** Во втором абзаце речь идет о смертельной угрозе от антропогенного шума (бурение, военные радары, корабли), который глушит животных и приводит к трагедиям. * **Paragraph C — 2 (No Solution):** В заключительном абзаце говорится о том, что проблема всё еще не решена, так как не существует строгих международных законов, регулирующих уровень шума в океане. 2. **Exercise 3 (Vocabulary):** * При сопоставлении синонимов и определений опирайтесь на контекст текста: *keep track of* означает «отслеживать местоположение», *faint* — «слабый / едва слышный» (о звуке), *stranded* — «выброшенный на берег / неспособный выбраться».
