Scientists in Hawaii have developed a sign language to give instructions to dolphins, and the results are amazing. They find that dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual (个别的) words, but also understand the importance of word order in a sentence.Most animals enjoy playing, but dolphins seem to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, scientists at a beach watched a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins came up to the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the “game” and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour.Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our “IQ tests”. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear the whistle (口哨). They do this because they will get a fish as a prize.There is still much to learn about these cute problem-solvers, but it is certain that watching a dolphin show is fun.( )45. How do dolphins exchange information with each other?A. By moving tails in different ways. B. By using different tools.C. By swimming in different ways. D. By making different sounds.( )46. Why did the dolphins throw the dog into the air?A. Because they didnt want to the dog to stay with them.B. Because they wanted to have fun with the dog.C. Because they wanted people to pay attention to them.D. Because they wanted to save the dog out of the water.( ) 47. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Dolphins understand many languages.B. Dolphins are a kind of clever animals.C. Scientists have known dolphins well enough.D. Dolphins like to make their games relaxing.BReading books helps you open different windows to many colourful worlds. But today few Chinese people like to read. According to a recent survey, a Chinese reads an average (平均) of 4.39 books per year. Things are different in many other countries. A Korean reads 11 books a year, a Japanese reads 17 and an American reads 21 books.In China, many people only read self-help books. These books are usually about how to become more successful or healthy. In the USA, teachers give students a reading list every few weeks. These books are about everything, like science and adventure (冒险).Many people want to read, but it is not easy for them to develop good reading habits. If you also have this problem, you may find the following tips useful. First, read in short periods. If you cant concentrate for a long time, you can try this method. Ten minutes on the way to or from school, ten minutes when waiting for a bus or a friend, a quarter before going to sleep. Then its 45 minutes a day, about five hours a week. Second, make your own reading list. Your list can be the best-selling books on famous websites like , or some books your teacher tells you to read. Finally, talk about what you read with your family or friends. It doubles the fun to read. The more fun you get from books, the more books you will read.( )48.

If the robot fish are able to finish their work successfully, the scientists hope the fish will be used in rivers, lakes and seas around the world.The robot fish are about 1.5 metres long. There will be a detector (探测器) in each fishs body. It can find the pollution in the water, and then the robot fish will eat part of it.Unlike other robots, the robot fish dont need to be operated (操作) by people far away. The robots all have a big battery (电池) that can last for about eight hours. They can “swim” in the sea freely and send back information to people on the beach. After their batteries run down, they will go back to the beach by themselves.There are five robot fish altogether. Each costs about 29,000 dollars.

Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts. Any mistake that appears (出现）in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasnt the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.A news story is not only correct, but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing dont talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You dont want to read about news from last week! So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.( )54.
