In many dolphin species each individual produces a(n)【B2】signature whistle. The loudness of the whistling may【B3】the emotional state of the dolphin.
Some studies of dolphins in confinement suggest that dolphins【B4】understand some elements of human【B5】. These language studies are controversial, however.

Scientists believe that the high【B15】of noise levels in some ocean areas may interfere with the【B16】of dolphin calls or the ability【B17】locate food. In particularly noisy areas, tissues associated with【B18】, sound production, and air intake may be injured.【B19】some cases, noise pollution can even【B20】dolphins.
选项 A、noises
B、signs
C、sounds
D、cries
答案B
解析 文中第一句概括到“海豚是通过发出各种复杂的声音来进行交流，这些声音包括吹口哨声、尖叫声以及滴答声。”紧接着，下一句话就解释说“这些声音是从气孔下端的上鼻腔发出来的。”因此[B]sounds(声音)正确。 [A]noises“噪声”、[C]signs“标记”、[D]cries“喊声”均不合文意。
