第1题
Before Moko the dolphin turned up,the beached whales were in clear distress.But when Moko
arrived at Mahia beach on the east coast of New Zealand?S North Island,their mood changed and they followed him to safety. The ability of some animals to communicate is well known. What?s less well documented,however,is the communication between species.Justin Gregg, vice president of the Dolphin Communication Project,said it is possible that a dolphin and a whale could communicate in some way.“But it wouldn?t be instructions like ?Hey,buddy,the open ocean is over here.Follow me, ?"he says. Dolphins use three forms of signaling to other dolphins—whistles,clicking and postures.A whale might have signals in common with a dolphin,just as different species of dolphins are known to share signals which might theoretically allow a form of basic inter species communication.But just as it?s possible that Moko the dolphin and the stranded whales shared a signal,it is also possible that the whales just saw a vaguely similar creature and followed it. There are many reasons why different species communicate,says Vincent Janik,lecturer at the Sea Mammal Research Unit at St Andrew?s University.“The animals exploit the systems of others for their own benefits.Sometimes the benefits are the same for each,therefore they share information.Sometimes they are trying to take advantage of the other.Getting food may not be to the advantage of the one giving up the food” What happened after Moko the dolphin appeared at Mahia beach?

A.The beached whales still felt distressful

B.Moko 1ed the whales back to the sea

C.The whales were still stuck on the beach

D.Moko and the whales swam together ashore

All whales fall into two groups, those with teeth and those without. Both beluga and dolph
in belong to the suborder of toothed whales known as Odontoceti, along with porpoises, narwhals, pilot whales, killer whales and the largest toothed creature in the world, the sperm whale. Size differences among the Odontoceti are remarkable. A common porpoise will run only 4 or 5 feet in length and 300 pounds in weight; a sperm whale may be 10 times as long and 300 times as heavy. The beluga falls in between, weighing up to 2,000 pounds. And it does chirp. In fact, it makes a great variety of squeaking, whistling, and clicking sounds, which have earned it the name of sea canary.

The toothless, or baleen, whales belong to the suborder of Mysticeti. This is a group of generally large whales, formerly abundant in all the oceans of the world. Though reduced by hunting, most species are still found along the coasts of the United Stated and Canada. All but two of the Mysticeti reach 40 feet or more at maturity, with the blue whale running up to 100 feet and tipping the scales at up to 130 tons. This whale is by far the largest creature that has ever lived on earth, 4 times the weight of the largest dinosaur, 30 times that of an elephant.

With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?

A.Breeding habits of whales.

B.Differences between whales.

C.Efforts to preserve whales.

D.The intelligence of whales.

A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft(救生

艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼). “They started to hit the side of the boat,” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water. For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water — two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的). Then the line broke. “So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands.”About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn’t stand up. So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over. During their days at sea, _______ saved their lives

A、tins of food and bottles of water

B、a fishing-line and a machine

C、whales and sharks

D、Twenty passing ships

On Thursday August 14th, a massive power failure switched off lights and shut down fact
ories across a large area of the north-eastern United States and southern Canada. The outcome affected some of the world's biggest and busiest cities, including New York, Detroit, Cleveland and Toronto, leaving up to 60m people without electricity, equivalent to the entire population of France or Britain.

So severe was the disruption (破坏) in New York State that its governor, George Pataki, declared a state of emergency. Confused workers spilled on to the streets, while thousands more were trapped for hours in lifts and hot, crowded subway trains. Lots of stranded (进退两难的) people ended up spending Thursday night on New York's streets. Thieves in Brooklyn in New York, and in Canada's capital, Ottawa, took advantage of the absence of streetlights and burglar alarms, and went on a looting spree (疯狂抢掠). Officials were taken aback by the speed at which the chaos unfolded. President George Bush described the incident as a "massive national problem" and promised a full investigation into what caused it.

That is still a matter of some debate. At first, naturally, there were fears of terrorist involvement, but this was quickly ruled out. However, officials were left arguing about what had actually happened. The office of Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien, said that a severe accident at a nuclear-power plant in Pennsylvania may have been the cause. Earlier, American and Canadian officials had said a fire or perhaps lightning had hit a power plant near Niagara Falls in New York State.

1、Several cities were affected by the massive power failure on August 14th except____.

A、Ottawa

B、Cleveland

C、Chicago

D、Brooklyn

2、The word "outage" in Paragraph 1 can be best replaced by____.

A、power shortcut

B、 disruption

C、 massive national problem

D、 power failure

3、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?____

A、Many streetlights and burglar alarms were stolen during the blackout.

B、Some terrorists were involved in the incident.

C、President George Bush demanded a full investigation into the disruption in New York.

D、Officials were not sure what had caused the power failure.

4、It can be inferred from the passage that____.

A、France has a population of about 60 million.

B、Only some large cities were affected by the power failure.

C、 Canada's prime minister knew what had caused the power failure.

D、Water was spilt onto the streets by confused workers.

5、The power failure on August 14th brought about big chaos except that____.

A、thousands of people were trapped in lifts

B、 many people had to stay on streets for Thursday night.

C、 stores were robbed by the thieves.

D、a power plant near Niagara Falls was hit by a fire or lightning.
