【题目】 Many people say dolphins (海豚) are intelligent (聪明的). They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. But are they as smart as humans, or are they more like cats and dogs? Dolphins use their brains (大脑) quite differently from the way humans do. But scientists say dolphins and humans are alike in some ways. How?

Communication

Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name.” The name is a special whistle (口哨声). Each dolphin chooses a specific (特有的) whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Dolphins are like people in other ways, too. They “talk” to each other about a lot of things — such as their age, their feelings, and finding food. They also use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. Understanding dolphin conversation is not easy for humans. No one “speaks dolphin” yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.

Play

Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups called pods (一群), and they often join others from different pods to play games and have fun — just like people. Scientists believe playing together is something only intelligent animals do. Dolphins travel together in groups known as pods.

Teamwork

Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both species (种类) make plans for getting things they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an intelligent strategy (策略) to get food. Dolphins sometimes help fishermen find food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins signal (……发信号) to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. Using this method, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins assist (协助) the men? There is an advantage for them: they get to eat some of the fish that escape from the net.

1What does the passage NOT mention?

A.How dolphins work together as a team.B.How dolphins play games and have fun.

C.How dolphins communicate with each other.D.How dolphins move quickly through the water.

2How does a dolphin get its “name”?

A.It gets it from its mother.B.It gets it from scientists.

C.It chooses it for itself.D.Its father gives the name to it.

3How do dolphins communicate with each other?

A.Dolphins don’t “talk” about their feelings.

B.Dolphins “talk” to each other about many things.

C.Dolphins whistle, but they don’t use body language.

D.Dolphin conversation is easy for humans to understand.

4Dolphins and humans are similar in many ways because they________.

play games in groups

plan ways to do things

use their brains in the same way

communicate their feelings to each other

A.①②③B.②③④C.①②④D.①③④

5Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen?

A.Dolphins are kind animals.B.The dolphins are afraid of humans.

C.The dolphins can get food that way.D.The fishermen ask the dolphins for help.

Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is1 (especial)popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup?

When people catch sharks, they cut off their2(fin ) and throw the shark back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin a shark3(can) swim any longer and slowly dies. Sharks are at top of the food chain in the4(ocean) ecosystem. If their numbers 5(drop) too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the6 (strong) in their food chain. But in fact, around 70million sharks are caught and 7(trade) in this industry every year.

The numbers of some kinds of sharks has fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as WildAid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have even asked governments 8(develop) laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark fins are good for health, so why eat9(they)?10(help) save sharks!
