In the American Southwest, rock art can be seen on the walls of caves and mountains. Many of these places are in the Four Corners area, where the states of Arizona，Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico meet. More than 7, 000 rock art places have been found just in Utah, where the areas dry climate(气候)has helped keep the art. There are three forms of rock art. The first is petroglyphs, which are pictures carved(雕刻)into the surface of rock. A sharp(尖利的)stone may have been used as a carving tool. A heavy stone may have been used to hit the sharp stone into the surface. The second form of rock art is pictographs, which are pictures painted on the rock. The paint was made from plants and trees. The artists painted with fingers, brushes made from hair，or bird bones. The third kind of rock art is geoglyphs(峡口浮雕), which are designs made in the ground by taking away stones. Some rock art shows faces, hands, animals, and trees. Other pictures are symbols such as lines, circles, and squares. Some scientists think these symbols marked the location of water or good hunting grounds. Some think the symbols were put there during special celebrations. Others think the symbols showed the movement of planets and stars. Still others believe that they were just doodles. Some rock art may be a form of writing. Large scenes are shown on mountains. Some scenes seem to tell a story. A hunting scene may include animals and people with hunting tools. A scene with many people holding hands could mean friendship. Rock art in caves may have been a way to decorate the artists home. Some rock art in the Southwest is about 200 years old. Other rock art may be 10, 000 years old. Scientists think an ancient people called the Anasazi created the older works. They were farmers and lived in caves. （1）The writer mainly wants _. A . to introduce an ancient art formB . to describe pictures drawn on rockC . to tell the history of a certain areaD . to solve the mystery of old symbols（2）According to the passage, what are doodles probably like? A . They are carelessly written or drawn.B . They show different symbols.C . They are carefully chosen or designed.D . They have special meanings.（3）What can we learn about rock art? A . The artists were usually farmers and lived in caves.B . It requires special paint made from plants and trees.C . Most of it describes the daily life of ancient peoples.D . Utah has the largest collection of it in the Southwest.（4）What can we infer(推断)from the passage? A . Petroglyphs are the easiest to be washed away by rain.B . Artists of modern times can copy rock art rather easily.C . The works created by the Anasazi must be pictographs.D . Places like rainforests are not ideal for keeping rock art.14. （6分）阅读理解Young Music Scene ConcertYoung musicians from all over Germany perform at Young Scene Concert at Berlins famousQuasimodo music hall.

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 from almost 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 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand,there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903 ,Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didnt die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat of the Penguin.Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them.
