They seem to be able to think, understand, and learn things quickly. Scientists say dolphins and humans (人类) are similar in some ways. How? Talk Like humans, every dolphin has its own “name”, a special whistle (啸声). Each dolphin chooses a whistle for itself, usually by its first birthday. By using special sounds and body languages, they “talk” to each other about a lot of things-such as their ages, their feelings, and possible dangers. Play Dolphins usually stay together. They live in groups, and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun-just like humans. Scientists believe playing together is something only clever animals do. Teamwork Dolphins and humans are similar in another way: they both make plans for getting something they want. For example, dolphins use a smart way to get food. When there are fish near a boat, dolphins make a sound or an action to the fishermen to put their nets in the water. With the dolphins’ help, the men can catch a lot of fish. Why do dolphins do this? Because they can eat some fish that run out from the net. 4. How many ways are dolphins similar to humans according to the passage? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. 5. Where do dolphins get their “names”? A. From scientists. B. From themselves. C. From their mothers. 6. Why do dolphins sometimes help fishermen? A. Because the fishermen ask them for help. B. Because they can get some food in this way. C. Because they are very kind, just like humans. 7. In which part of the newspaper can we read the text? A. Clever Humans. B. Beautiful Nature. C. Amazing Animals. C Is there anybody who likes doing housework? Should children help out around the house? For some children, doing housework may be the last thing they want to do. For many parents, getting their children to help with housework is also one big headache(头疼). However, Nurafiza, a Malaysian mother found a creative way. Nurafiza came up with a reward (奖励) system (系统) for her two sons at home. She made a list (清单) of housework for her kids and gave them money for every task they had finished. The list of housework included cleaning up the house and putting away their toys for RM 50 each, doing the dishes for RM 80, and even not fighting with each other for RM 10 to RM 15. Nurafiza also opened a “mini mart (迷你超市)” at home for kids to spend the money in. Her three-year-old and six-year-old sons could buy snacks at her “mini mart” which was open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The money she gave to her kids was fake (假的) cash, which she had bought online. Because of this system, both of her children are glad to help with housework. Her Facebook post has got over 15,000 likes and has been shared over 27,000 times. Many parents have begun to imitate her. They use the same way to discipline (管教) their children. In fact, doing housework plays an important role in children’s development (发展). First, housework teaches children basic (基本的) skills for living, like cooking and cleaning. Second, doing housework is a good way to exercise children’s bodies. Third. doing housework makes it possible (可能的) for parents to spend more time with their kids. 8. How does the writer start the passage? A. By asking questions. B. By telling stories. C. By giving an example. 9. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The “mini mart” is open for ten hours a day. B. Nurafiza’s kids never fight with each other. C. Nurafiza’s kids can get RM 50 for doing the dishes. 10. What does the underlined word “imitate” mean according to the passage? A. 了解 B. 鼓励 C. 模仿 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The ways to get children to help with housework. B. The reasons why children should help with housework. C. The important roles children play in their homes. 第二节(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Going to visit your neighbour is fun.

Hao has been a forest ranger since he stopped serving in the army in 1987. He and his workmates at Guanyin Forest Farm are called the “Forest’s Eyes” and “Green Guardians”. “Daily work usually starts with patrolling(巡逻). Every morning, we carry necessary equipment after having breakfast and then set off to forests with dry food and water bottles, patrolling until it gets dark,” Hao said. Rangers have been living in the mountains and forests for years, getting used to difficulties and loneliness. They always go out early and return at sunset during the whole year, and it’s their duty to protect green mountains and clear waters. A forest ranger often has to walk more than 12 kilometers a day, and a pair of shoes wears out in two to three months, according to Hao. “Because of poor road conditions, if rangers go to the farthest villages for patrols, they have to walk 30 to 40 kilometers on mountain roads, climb four mountains, and cross more than 10 rivers,” Hao said. “And each patrol takes three to four days.” When Hao returns from his patrol every day, he writes down the results in the patrol diary, recording his love for mountains and forests. “The environment is improving day by day, and that makes me feel my work is useful,” he said. 36.
