For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:A mother dolphin(海豚) chats with her baby over the telephone! They were in separate tanks connected by a special underwater audio link. “It seemed clear that they knew who they were talking with,” says Don White, whose Project Delphis ran the experiment. But what were they saying?Scientists think dolphins “talk” about everything from basic facts like their age to their emotional state. “I speculate that they say things like there are some good fish over here, or watch out for that shark because hes hunting.” Says Denise Herzing, who studies dolphins in the Bahamas.Deciphering(译解) “dolphin speak” is also tricky because their language is so dependent on what theyre doing, whether theyre playing, fighting, or going after tasty fish. During fight, for example, dolphins clap(碰撞) their jaws to say “Back off”. But their jaws clap while playing, too, as if to show whos king of underwater playground.11.

Show me who the king is!15. When scientists describe dolphins communicative skills, their tone is rather _.A. affirmative B. speculativeC. playful D. negativeQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:An American company has started testing a new program aimed at increasing security. Three workers from CityW, a company that provides security camera equipment, have volunteered to be electronically monitored. They will have a silicon chip put inside their arms. The tiny device is the size of a grain of rice and will send out radio signals. These will provide information to a central monitoring system that will give the workers access to secure areas of the workplace. The chips were originally designed for medical purposes.Sean Darks, CEO of CityWatcher, said the chips were like identity cards. He said the only difference is that they are inserted inside the persons body. He added they are very different from Global Positioning Satellite technology, which allows peoples location to be monitored. Mr. Darks insisted that they were not dangerous and even decided to have a chip implanted in his own body. However, many people are worried about the issue of privacy. Many believe the technology could be abused and that new laws will have to be made. Mr. Darks said his workers can always choose to have the chips removed.16. This passage is mainly about _.A. the increasing security of U.S. companiesB. the test of a new security programC. a new central monitoring systemD. Global Positioning Satellite technology17.

They made the switch because they wanted every basketball they use to feel and bounce(弹起 ) the same.However, some players complained right away that the new balls bounced differently and were actually harder to control than the leather ones. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban asked for help from the Department of Physics at University of Texas. The scientists investigated friction that affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball. “The greater the friction, the better it will stick to his hand,” explains Horwitz, one of the physicists who worked on the project.Tests on both wet and dry balls showed that while the plastic ball was easier to grip when dry, it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet. Thats because sweating stays on the surface of the synthetic balls but gets absorbed into the leather balls-an important detail for sweaty athletes.In January, the NBA went back to using the traditional leather balls. They arent perfect, but for now, thats just the way the ball bounces.21. The NBA started using synthetic basketballs instead of leather ones because _.A. they wanted every basketball to feel and bounce the sameB.

When the ball is wetted by water.C. When tests are done on the ball.D. When sweating sticks to the ball.25. In the last paragraph, “thats just the way the ball bounces” probably means _A. tradition offers the best choiceB. the ball bounces as best it canC. the NBA made a mistakeD. the ball bounces perfectlyQuestions 21-25 are based on the following listing:GUARENTEED LOWEST PRICE TO FAR EAST!Airline Destination Travel Dates Fares fromAtlantic Hong Kong 26 Aug 07 - 30 Sep 0725 Oct 07 - 14 Dec 0725 Dec 07 - 20 Mar 07284Cathay Pacinic Hong Kong 20 Aug 07 -31 Age 07 670ABL New Zealand Hong Kong 26 Aug 07 - 30 Sep 0725 Oct 07 - 14 Dec 0725 Dec 07 - 20 Mar 0727 Mar 07 - 31 Mar 07282中国东方航空 Shanghai 20 Aug 07 - 30 Nov 0724 Dec 07 - 12 Mar 0724 Mar 07 - 31 Mar 07260Lufthansa Beijing 20 Aug 07 - 31 Dec 07 233Austrian Beijing 20 Aug 07 - 31 Aug 0715 Dec 07 - 31 Dec 07445中国东方航空 Beijing 20 Aug 07 - 13 Nov 07 30024 Dec 07 - 12 Mar 0724 Mar 07 - 31 Mar 07Singapore Airline Singapore, Hanoi 20 Aug 07 - 30 Nov 07 425THAI Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City20 Aug 07 - 30 Nov 07 335395ALL TAXES AND CHARGES ARE NOT INCLUEDFor any other alternative dates please call our reservation hotline: 0207 484 8900.
