17、art like humans or more than cats or dogs? Dolphins use their brains differently from people. But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways. How?l Fact 1: Talk to me Like humans, every dolphin has its own name. The name is a special whistle. Each dolphin cho
18、oses a specific whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. Actually, scientists think dolphins, like people, talk to each other about a lot of things, such as their age, their feelings, or finding food. And, like humans, dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate. But u
19、nderstanding their conversations is not easy for humans. No one speaks dolphin yet, but some scientists are trying to learn.l Fact 2: Lets play Dolphins are also social animals. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun-just like people. In fact
20、, playing together is something only intelligent animals do.l Fact 3: Fishermens helper Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: both make plans to get something they want. In the seas of southern Brazil, for example, dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food. When fish are near a boat

24、his is the first question you must ask yourself and it is the most important at this major crossroads of your life. Many can advise you, but you alone face the consequences of this fundamental decision. Stop. Think about it. Be honest with yourself and be realistic. Do you want higher education beca
25、use you really feel you will benefit from itor are you drifting towards it in response to the expectations of your parents and friends? Conversely, are you being put off higher education by other peoples prejudices? Dont commit yourself to any form of full-time higher education if you are not intere
26、sted in any of the numerous courses available. Higher education is most uncomfortable and unsatisfying for those who have little interest in the subject they have chosen to study. It can be an advantage to have a clear idea about the kind of career you eventually want, because then you can choose a
27、course most likely to equip you for your future. Dont worry if you have no ideas about a future career; but do find out what are the career implications of your choice of course. Broad prospects（前景）will be open to you whatever course you follow, provided you do well and have the right personal quali
28、ties. Dont typecast yourself or allow anyone else to do so. This particularly applies to girls. Girls are still subject to prejudices about courses which lead to careers traditionally labeled as mans work. This is almost always unjustifiable and women are now working in all sorts of former male pres
29、erves. Competition for places will be tougher in future but the total available will still be very large. Seek advice from your careers teacher, careers officer and parents-but it is you who must decide whether or not you want to go on to higher education.42. You attitude towards going to higher edu

33、f study C. are influenced by your own personal interests D. accept other peoples views about what you should studyCScience flying in the face of gravity It looked just like another aircraft from the outside. The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964, based on the 707. But appeara
34、nces were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives. Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded from floor to ceiling, there were almost no windows, but lights along the padded wa
35、lls eerily illuminated（照明）it. Most of the seats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look of apprehension. For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation o
36、f the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weightless conditions. For the next two hours the Boeings flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before hurtling towards Earth.
37、 The intention was to achieve weightlessness for a few second. The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree climb which last
38、ed around 20 seconds. Then the engines cut out and we became weightless. Everything became confused and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After 10 seconds of free-fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive. The return of gravity was less immediate than its loss
39、, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with a bump. Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team conducted its experiment. First it was the Dutch who wanted to discover how it is that cats always land on their feet. Then the German team who c
40、onducted a successful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station. After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing their experiments, most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to r
41、epeat.46. What does the underlined word eerily in Paragraph 2 mean? A. clearly B. strangely C. badly D. brightly47. Why was this text written? A. To report on a new scientific technique. B. To show scientists what young people can do. C. To encourage young people to take up science. D. To describe t
42、he outcome of a scientific competition.48. What did the pilot do with the plane? A. He climbed and then made the plane turn over. B. He climbed and then made the plane fall slowly. C. He quickly climbed and then stopped the engines. D. He took off normally and then cut the engines for 20 seconds.49.
43、 What was the point of being weightless? A. To see what conditions are like in space. B. To allow the teams to try out their ideas. C. To prepare the young scientists for future work in space.D. To show unforgettable experiences for the young scientists.五、阅读还原。（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空
44、白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。What do they really mean?Food manufacturers and retailers are letting shoppers down. This is the view of the CWS, which has just brought out a new report. According to the report, shoppers believe food labels because they think there are strict regulations in place. 50 . So the f
45、ood industry can get away with all sorts of tricky strategies to make products look bigger and sound better than they are. The report has identified the different ways in which shoppers are misled. 51 . Descriptions on packaging are sometimes inaccurate in an attempt to oversell the product. One exa
46、mple given in the report is the phrase haddock fillets, used for a product that is in fact cut from big blocks of fish rather than individual slices. 52 . These include traditional, wholesome, or premium. The claim that a brand is 90% fat-free hides the fact that it contains 10% fat, which above rec
47、ommended levels. Phrases such as free from preservatives make a virtue out of a normal attribute of food. Labels have a wide variety of text sizes on them. You sometimes need a magnifying glass to read the small print. 53 . Another deliberate type of misinformation lies in the image. Many pictures o
48、n packets use small plates to make the product look bigger. 54 . However, misleading messages on packaging could soon be a thing of the past. The CWS recently produced a code which, if used, would end the current inaccuracies and half truths. It has called on the government to support it as a way of
49、 improving food standards. A. Meaningless adjectives are often used to give a positive message. B. An officer says the labels will receive very serious consideration. C. Photographs are sometimes retouched to achieve the same effect. D. By contrast, the hard sell information is given emphasis. E. Th
50、e rules are, in reality, very weak at present. F. This result has not pleased the food industry. G. The most common of these is poor labeling.第卷 非选择题（共三道大题，29分）六、听并记录信息。（共4小题；每小题1分，共4分） 听下面一段对话，完成第55题至58题，每小题仅填写一个词。听对话前，你将有20秒钟的时间阅读试题，听完后你将有60秒钟的作答时间。这段对话你将听两遍。District of Newmarket Public LibrariesA

59、sat in class in groups according to our own choices. The teacher talked much less and we had more chances to express ourselves. Sometimes, I went sightseeing with my home stay family.
