They are mammals（哺乳动物）. They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different fromalmost all land animals. Their brain（大脑）is as big as mens and they live a long life-at least 20 or 30 years.Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around.They also use these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw-the lower part of the mouth.It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19 th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin, the seaman liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckilythe dolphin didnt die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided theships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat ThePenguin.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world nowprotect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.( )6. The word jaw means in Chinese. A. 下颌 B. 嘴巴 C. 嘴唇 D. 鼻子( )7. How do dolphins find their way?A.They use their noses to smell the way.B. They use their ears to hear the sounds.C. They use their eyes to see the way.D. They use sounds to find the way.( )8. Who was Jack? A. The writer. B. A dolphin. C. A seaman. D. The passenger.( )9. The dolphin guided the ships for . A. 32 years B. 9 years C. 41 years D. 23 years( )10. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?A. Dolphins are not fish. B. Dolphins dont live in groups.C. Dolphins are kind and friendly to people. D. Dolphins can live a long life.(C)Experts say that students usually need eight to ten hours sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children study late. They will think their children work very hard. But not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that her son, like thousands of students “early birds” in China, had to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good nights sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too much homework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts say that students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, and they are able to work well in class.( ) 11. Experts have told us students should _. A. get enough sleep B. not get enough sleep C. study late D. sleep less( ) 12. Many students fall asleep in class because _.

Other people have trouble learning a new language. How can you help yourself learn a new language, such as English? There are several ways to make learning English a little easier and more interesting. The first step is to feel positive（有把握的）about learning English. Believe that you can learn. Be patient（有耐心的）. You do not have to understand everything all at once. It is natural to make mistakes when you learn something new. We can learn from our mistakes. In other words, do not worry about taking risks. The second step is to practice your English. For example, write a journal（笔记）or diary every day. Try to build the habit of writing in English, and you will feel comfortable expressing your ideas in English. After several weeks, you will see that your writing is improving（提高）. You must speak English every day. You can practice with your classmates after class. You will all make mistakes, but you will become comfortable talking in English. The third step is to keep a record of you language learning. You can write it in you journal. After each class, think about what you have done. Did you answer a question correctly? Did you understand something the teacher explained（解释）? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these in your journal.根据短文内容，回答下列问题。1. Can everyone learn a new language easily? 2. Does the writer give us three or four suggestions（建议）? 3. What do the underlined words mean in the second paragraph? 4. Which is the most important step mentioned in the passage? 5. Why must we keep a record of our language learning?_(E)请在阅读下列有关宠物的文字材料后，从方框中A、B、C、D、E、F六个选项中选出五项与6-10题中的描述一一对应。_6. Many people like animals and take them as their pets. Nowadays pet hospitals are very busy. Kind persons who love animals are needed to work in busy animal hospitals._7. Scientists think that pets will probably be much smaller because people in the future will be living in much smaller places. Scientists are already working on making very small farm animals. The same things might be done to make smaller cats and dogs._8. Its said that some day you might own a panther as a pet. Scientists might have to start turning wild animals into pets. This might be the only way to save them from dying out._9. What about a robot for a pet? This may sound silly, but it could become true. Robot dogs have been made to bark like real dogs. These “pets” might become more and more popular in the future. After all, robots dont lose hair or chew on things the way real pets do._10. Lots of people miss their pets while they are on holiday. One hotel in Minnesota has solved this problem. They lend cats to their guests. Many experts believe this idea will become more and more popular. It is very possible that in the future you will be able to order a pet, as well as room service, at a hotel.A. Pet hotels B. Smaller pets C. Robots for petsD. A panther for pet E. Pet restaurants F.
