Many species of dolphin live in large societies. They have many differentrelationshipsand need a good communication system; they use a variety of sounds to communicate with each other.There is currently no evidence that dolphins have a language of their own.But scientists still have a lot to find out about these animals and so there are certain to be a few surprises in the future.At Kewalo Basin Marine Laboratory in Hawaii, the dolphin team have developed a sign language to communicate with the dolphins, and the results are amazing. Not only do the dolphins understand the meaning of individual words, they also understand the significance of word order in a sentence. For example, when they were asked totouch the ball with your tail and then jump over itthey generally responded correctly and straight away, which showed that they understood the language.Most mammals seem to enjoy playbut dolphins seems to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, researchers working at a beach, off the southern coast of Brazil, observed a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins approached the dog and then started throwing it into the air.The dog seemed to enjoy thegameand continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour. From then on, different dogs were seem trying to interact with the dolphins.Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at ourintelligence tests. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise. They do this because they will get a fish as a reward. There is still much to learn about these flexible(灵活的)problem-solvers, but from the evidence so far, it would seem as though dolphins are very intelligent.56.

At a laboratory in Hawaii, the dolphin team have developed a to communicate with the dolphins.A. variety of soundsB. sign languageC. special word orderD. dolphins language58.

Dolphins will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise in order to .A. watch peopleB. breathe fresh airC. enjoy themselvesD. get some food BTraveling in winter is never easy. Air travel might sound like the most convenient method of winter travel, but it has its shortcomings. The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans and flights often getcancelled or delayed. We bring you some tips to keep in mind if you are traveling by air in thewinter.Early flights are on timeEarly morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day. You would have to wake up very early, but it would be worth it. Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delays, so the best way to avoid a delayed flight is to fly early.Partner airlines can helpPartner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights. Some airlines work in association with partner airlines. In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed, you can ask for a seat with the partner airline, if your airline supports it.Join a clubJoining a club will surely make youshell outsome money, but if you are a frequent flyer, this is the best choice for you. When your flight gets delayed for hours, you can join those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the airport. Also, going to different travel agents is easier from the clubs, and they can assist you with various choices available.Consider a travel agentAt times when you are stuck in situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled, instead of dealing directly with the airline staff, it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent. Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues instead of you standing in the queue and dealing with the issue all by yourself.61.

Forinstance, they want to know how their hearts beat. They want to know why the ocean water tastes salty.As children grow up, they become curious about differentkinds of things. When they are babies, they are interested in the parts of their bodies and in the smiles of their mothers. They become interested in the physical world around them: the plants, the animals, and the sky. Later, they become interested in the things that people have made: wheels, bicycles, cars. And when they are adults, their curiosity continues. Sometimes this curiosity leads to a career in science.Scientists spend their lives trying to find out about the world.Those who work with the earth sciences study the earth, the oceans, and the skies. Other scientists who study living things work with the biological sciences. A third group of scientists study the physical sciences, e. g. physicsand chemistry.These scientists have already discovered a lot about our worldFor example, they tell us why your heart beats fast when you run. They say that when you are quiet, your heart normally beats sixty-five or seventy-five times a minute. Your heart is a pump (泵) that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood carries oxygen and nutrition. When you run, your muscles work very hard and use the nutrition that the blood carries to them. The muscles need oxygen, too. So your brain sends a signal to the heart. The signal means that the muscles need more nutrition and oxygen. Then the heart beats fast and sends blood quickly to the muscles. It may beat 90 to 140 times a minute.Of course, scientists cannot answer all of our questions. If we ask, “Why does the ocean water taste salty” scientists will say that the salt comes from rocks. When a rock gets very hot or very cold, it cracks. Rain falls into cracks. The rain then carries the salt into the earth andinto the rivers. The rivers carry the salt into the ocean. But then we ask, “What happens to the salt in the ocean? The ocean does not get saltier every year.” Scientists are not sure about the answer to this question.We know a lot about our world, but there are still many answers that we do not have, and we are curious.66.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A.People are curious in the same way.B.People in different countries are interested in different things.C.Men and women are curious about different things.D.People of different ages are interested in different things67.Scientists who work with the biological sciences study .A.the earth, the oceans and the sky B.plants and animalsC.man-made thingsD.ocean water68.When you run, your muscles need .A.more saltB.more signalsC.more nutrition and oxygenD.water69.A rock cracks .A.in wet regionsB.in dry regionsC.when salty water falls inD.at very high or very low temperatures70. Based on the information in the last paragraph,
