Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to

each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds.

But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as

our own, and they live a long time --- at least twenty or thirty years.

Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make

these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their

ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw.

Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about

the dolphin and its friendship with people.

There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast

of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every

boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin

shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through

the area－except for The Penguin.

Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect

them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.

21. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____.

A. people are cruel to animals

B. dolphins are friendly and clever

C. Jack is different from other dolphins

D. dolphins should be protected by law

22. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____.

A. live in groups B. have their own language

C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains

23. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?

A. Its mouth. B. Its ears. C. Its nose. D. Its eyes.

24. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

A. They wanted his help.

B. They enjoyed playing with him.

C. He was seriously wounded.

D. He was lonely and liked to be with people

B

The young boy was sitting on the ground in the refugee(难民)camp playing with an empty

tin．Other children were standing around watching him with envious eyes．

Envy? Of an empty tin?

This tin was indeed no worthless piece of trash—it was a splendid truck，complete with

wheels and grille(铁栅) and floor．The vehicle even had remote control，a frayed piece of string

from the “engine” to the hand of the owner．

The tin had lost all its original markings．But its first load had probably been sardines(沙丁鱼)．Later the tin had been left with other rubbish behind the refugee camp clinic，and the boy had

found it on one of his daily expeditions into the “big world”．

For thousands of refugee children，a tin 1ike this rates high on their list of wants．It can be

used for many purposes，as jewellery，as a toy，for drinking or as a medicine box．

Many refugee children would consider it the happiest day of their lives if they received a

handful of marbles(弹珠) as a present．

They dream of gifts which children in developed countries take for granted．Maybe a book to

read．or a pencil and an exercise book of their very own．

Their imagination can create toys，but it cannot create books．Someone else must provide

them．A more costly and valuable gift they cannot imagine．

25. How do you think the young boy may feel when he gets something to read?

A. depressed B. frustrated C. excited D. frightened

26．Other children envied the young boy because the boy ．

A． had something to play with B．got some sardines to eat

C．received a handful of marbles D．had a real truck toy

27．What is implied in the last paragraph of the text?

A．The society should donate(捐)some toys for the refugee children

B．The refugee children are more imaginative rather than creative

C．The refugee children are more creative rather than imaginative

D．The society should offer the refugee children things for study

28．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A．An Enviable Toy Present B. Sardine Tin—A Precious Toy

C．A Splendid Truck Toy D．A Poor Refugee Cam
