A. the best; as good as B. the worst; as good as C. the best; as well as D. the worst; as well as 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——格林先生，数学是迈克最差的科目吗？——是的。事实上，如果他努力，他能学得和别人一样好。 考查形容词辨析和副词短语。the best最好的，形容词最高级；the worst最差的，形容词最高级；as good as同……一样好，形容词短语，修饰名词或代词；as well as同……一样好，副词短语，修饰动词或整个动作。第一空中，结合答语及语境可推断，该答句为肯定答复且为含有if的条件状语从句，是格林先生回复对方假设的情况，即“如果迈克努力学习，他可以像其他人将数学学得一样好”，则问句应在询问格林先生迈克的数学是否是“最差的”科目，第一空应用“the worst”表示“最差的”；结合第二空所在句可知，learn为谓语动词，空处应用副词短语“as well as”修饰动词learn。故选D。 2. —Many people put ________ in danger while doing DIY. —DIY can bring fun and save us money, but it’s not always as safe as we think. A. it B. itself C. them D. themselves 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：—许多人做 DIY 时把他们自己置于危险之中。—DIY 能带来乐趣并帮我们省钱，但它并不总是像我们想的那样安全。 it它；itself它自己；them他们；themselves他们自己。根据“Many people put ... in danger”可知，主语是Many people，动作的承受者也是这些人自己，当主语和宾语指代同一对象时，宾语应用反身代词。people为复数，故用themselves。 3. Which of the following words can’t form a noun by adding the suffix -ist? A. invent B. tour C. art D. piano 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：以下哪个单词不能通过添加后缀-ist构成名词？ 考查名词后缀。invent发明→inventist（×，正确应为inventor）；tour旅游→tourist旅行者；art艺术→artist艺术家；piano钢琴→pianist钢琴家。其中invent加-ist不是标准构词，常用后缀为-or构成inventor。故选A。 4. How nice you are! You always do everything you can _________ me. A. help B. to help C. helping D. helps 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：你真好！你总是尽一切所能来帮助我。 考查非谓语动词。根据“You always do everything you can ... me.”可知“帮助我”是目的，用动词不定式to help作目的状语。故选B。 5. —The team lost the game again. —Well, ________. They never practised hard. A. it depends B. you had a point C. that was the deal D. it came as no surprise 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：——球队又输了比赛。——嗯，这并不令人惊讶。他们从不努力练习。 考查情景交际。it depends看情况而定；you had a point你说得有道理；that was the deal就这么定了；it came as no surprise这并不令人惊讶。根据“They never practised hard.”可知，他们从不努力练习，所以输球并不令人惊讶。故选D。 三、完形填空（每小题1分，共10分） One day, a boy found a cocoon of a butterfly and brought it home.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了一个男孩发现蝴蝶茧后，因心疼蝴蝶挣扎而帮它剪开茧，结果蝴蝶因缺乏挣扎过程导致翅膀无力无法飞翔的故事，借此说明生活中的挣扎与困难对成长的重要性。 【6题详解】 句意：他坐着，看了几个小时，看着蝴蝶挣扎着让身体穿过那个小洞。 根据后文“as the butterfly struggled to make its body through that little hole”，男孩应该是“看”着这个过程，watch“观看；注视”，符合语境。read“阅读”、listen“听”和find“找到”均不符合。 【7题详解】 句意：突然它停止了（挣扎）。 结合后文“So the boy decided to help the butterfly.”，说明蝴蝶的挣扎动作“停止”了，“stop”表示“停止”，符合逻辑。begin“开始”、continue“继续”和move“移动”均与后文男孩帮忙的情节不符。 【8题详解】 句意：蝴蝶很容易就出来了，但它看起来有点不一样。 前文提到男孩“cut the hole bigger”，所以蝴蝶出来应该是“容易地”，“easily”符合语境。quietly“安静地”、suddenly“突然地”和slowly“慢慢地”均不符合剪大洞后蝴蝶出来的状态。 【9题详解】 句意：它身体虚弱，翅膀又小又薄。 根据后文“The butterfly didn’t start to fly. In fact, it had to spend the rest of its life crawling around with a weak body and thin wings.”，可知这里说的是蝴蝶的“翅膀”，“wings”符合语境。head“头”、eyes“眼睛”和feet“脚”均与后文描述不符。 【10题详解】 句意：男孩出于善意行事，但他不明白为什么会这样。 男孩帮蝴蝶剪开茧是想帮助它，这是一种“善意”，“kindness”表示“善意；好意”，符合语境。excitement“兴奋”、success“成功”和luck“运气”均不符合男孩帮忙的初衷。 【11题详解】 句意：从茧中出来的艰苦工作使液体从蝴蝶的身体流入它的翅膀。 这里表达的是挣扎的过程“使”液体流入翅膀，“make”有“使；让”的意思，“make sth. do sth.”是固定结构，符合语境。prevent“阻止”、keep“保持”和ask“要求”均不符合逻辑。 【12题详解】 句意：它让蝴蝶准备好飞翔。 “get ready to do sth.”是固定短语，意为“准备好做某事”，这里指挣扎的过程让蝴蝶准备好飞翔，符合语境。sorry“抱歉的”、glad“高兴的”和kind“善良的”均不符合搭配和语境。 【13题详解】 句意：如果我们的生活没有任何问题，我们将永远不会学习或成长。 这里是一种假设情况，“if”引导条件状语从句，意为“如果”，符合语境。because“因为”、as“当……时；因为”和but“但是”均不符合逻辑。 【14题详解】 句意：我们不会像我们本可以的那样强壮，我们也永远不会学会飞翔。 结合前文蝴蝶因缺乏挣扎而身体虚弱，这里说如果没有问题，我们就不会像本可以的那样“强壮”，“strong”符合语境。quiet“安静的”、wise“聪明的”、patient“耐心的”均不符合文意。 【15题详解】 句意：困难是旅程的一部分。 根据前文“In life, pain and hardship often open doors to growth.”，这里说“困难”是旅程的一部分，“difficulties”符合语境。happiness“幸福”、kindness“善意”和exercises“练习”均不符合文意。 四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共24分） A To all students: Our school will hold a book fair to encourage everyone to read more good books.

Inside were bamboo strips (竹片) and silk from her grandfather, a master lantern maker. “Our family art has lasted since 1825,” he said, touching her shoulder gently. “Now it’s your turn to carry on the tradition.” Lin looked at the materials and felt a mix of excitement and worry. The first week of learning was difficult. Bamboo splinters (竹剌) hurt her fingers as she tried to shape the strips. “Why must I learn this old work?” she cried angrily. Her grandfather didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently lit an old lantern. Its painted rabbit was gathering plants under the moon, just like in the Dunhuang wall paintings. The soft light of the lantern seemed to tell a story of the past. At the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin walked through the streets and found children not looking at traditional lanterns. They were more interested in the bright, colorful toys. An idea came to her. She decided to mix the old with the new. Lin cleverly added LED lights, creating dark shapes that moved with the wind. She also programmed the lantern so that touching the rabbit’s foot would start reading a Tang poem. Lin’s “Smart Rabbit Lantern” was a hit. Children gathered around, amazed by the dark shapes and the sound of the ancient poem. At the end of the festival, Lin’s lantern won the first prize. Her grandfather smiled proudly and said, “Tradition is like the moon–it shines brightest when reflecting new light. By adding modern parts, you’ve given our art a new life.” Lin felt a sense of success. She realized that traditions could be kept and refreshed at the same time. She had found a way to keep the past alive. 20. What did Lin’s grandfather give her as her 14th birthday gift? A. A Tang poem. B. A set of LED lights. C. Materials for lantern making. D. An old traditional lantern. 21. What is the correct order according to the passage? ①Lin’ s “Smart Rabbit Lantern” won the first prize at the Mid-Autumn Festival. ②Lin added LED lights and programmed the lantern to read a Tang poem. ③Lin received a gift from her grandfather. ④Lin felt excited but worried about learning the family art. A. ③-④-②-① B. ③-②-①-④ C. ④-②-①-③ D. ④-③-②-① 22. How did Lin show creativity in the story? A. She learned lantern making for only a week. B. She used bamboo and silk from her grandfather. C. She drew rabbits from Dunhuang wall paintings. D. She added LED lights and poems that start when touched. 23. What lesson did Lin learn from her experience with lantern making? A. Traditional skills are too difficult for young people to learn. B. Modern technology should take the place of traditional arts. C. It is important to follow in your family’s footsteps without questioning. D. Mixing tradition with modern technology can create something exciting. 【答案】20. C 21. A 22. D 23. D 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了林在14岁生日时收到祖父送的制作灯笼材料，继承家族制作灯笼技艺 。学习过程中她遇到困难，中秋节时看到孩子们对传统灯笼不感兴趣，便创新地将LED灯和唐诗融入灯笼制作，“智能兔子灯笼”大获成功，她也由此意识到传统与现代结合能让传统技艺焕发生机。 【20题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On her 14th birthday, Lin received a heavy box. Inside were bamboo strips and silk from her grandfather”可知，祖父送的是制作灯笼的材料。故选C。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“On her 14th birthday, Lin received a heavy box. Inside were bamboo strips (竹片) and silk from her grandfather, a master lantern maker.”、“Lin looked at the materials and felt a mix of excitement and worry.”、“Lin cleverly added LED lights, creating dark shapes that moved with the wind.”和“At the end of the festival, Lin’s lantern won the first prize”可知，文章先是说林收到祖父礼物，接着她既兴奋又担心学家族技艺，然后她给灯笼添加LED灯并编程，最后她的灯笼在中秋节获奖，所以顺序是③-④-②-①。故选A。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She cleverly added LED lights... She also programmed the lantern so that touching the rabbit’s foot would start reading a Tang poem.”可知，她通过添加 LED 灯和可触发朗读唐诗的程序展现创造力。故选D。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“She realized that traditions could be kept and refreshed at the same time.”可知，她意识到传统与现代技术结合能创造精彩。故选D。 C Scientists have long known dolphins are among the smartest ocean animals. However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Scientists found that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to call each other, much like how people use names. To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations. Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence (智力) develops in different species. Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could support conservation (保护) efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds in real time. These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments. This study not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home. 24. What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle? A. They swam away quickly. B. They repeated the same sound. C. They moved toward the sound. D. They warned others of danger. 25. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Para. 2? A. However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”. B. However, it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls. C. However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds. D. However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups. 26. What does the underlined word “decode” in Par. 4 most probably mean? A. Design. B. Translate. C. Predict. D. Hear. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Dolphins in the Ocean. B. Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey. C. How AI Helps Marine Research. D. The Amazing Whistle Language. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了海豚的语言。 【24题详解】 根据第二段第二句“When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker.”可知，当海豚听到家人的口哨声时，它们朝着声音移动。 【25题详解】 前文提到海豚听到家人的特殊声音会游向扬声器，为了证明这些声音像个人标识，就需要说明海豚对非家人的口哨声没有反应。选项D“However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups”表明海豚对来自未知群体的口哨声不予理会，这与前文海豚对家人口哨声的反应形成对比，能很好地证明这些声音像个人身份证。 【26题详解】 根据后文“These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds.”可知，这些人工智能工具能够解释声音的含义，由此可推测decode在这里是“翻译；解读”的意思，与B选项Translate相符。 【27题详解】 文章主要围绕海豚的标志性口哨展开，介绍了海豚用标志性口哨互相呼唤，像人类用名字一样；还介绍了海豚会创造性地混合口哨来分享信息，以及研究海豚语言对保护海豚的意义等。选项D“The Amazing Whistle Language”能准确概括文章主要内容，即神奇的口哨语言。 五、信息还原（每小题1分，共5分） 从下列A-G七个选项中选出最适合填入文中空缺的五个选项，并将其字母编号填写在题后横线上。（有两项为多余选项） Do you ever look closely at the paper money from different countries?

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了各国纸币上的精美图案，讲解这些图案承载的自然、历史与文化意义，同时对比了现代电子支付方式，点明纸币依然有着不可替代的独特价值。 【28题详解】 根据前文“You will discover pictures of rivers, mountains, buildings and famous people.”，后文“They are like small lessons in culture, history and nature.”，选项F“These pictures often show what each country finds important.”直接承接前文的pictures，解释图案的深层含义，前后指代连贯。 【29题详解】 根据“Let’s start with China.”以及“On the 20 yuan note, there is the Lijiang River in Guilin...”，选项E“The Chinese yuan is a perfect mix of nature and tradition.”作为本段总起句，引出下文人民币上的各类自然景观实例。 【30题详解】 根据“On the 20 yuan note, there is the Lijiang River in Guilin, with green mountains rising from calm waters.”，选项D“It’s so beautiful that artists have painted it for centuries.”中it精准指代前句的Lijiang River，语义承接紧密。 【31题详解】 根据后文“Switzerland’s notes include mountains, rivers, and even wind patterns! Canada’s have snowy scenery and maple leaves.”，选项C“Other countries do this too, in their own way.”实现从中国到多国案例的自然过渡，开启下文多国举例。 【32题详解】 根据前文“Now many people use phones or cards as a way to pay.”，后文“But paper money still has its value —not only in money, but in meaning.”，选项A“It’s fast and easy.”对应描述“phones or cards”支付的特点，和后文But引导的转折内容形成逻辑对照。 六、词汇检测（每小题1分，共15分） 33.

So, why not ____48____ (learn) a few methods from them? Italian Luca Lampariello speaks several languages. For Luca, listening is the key. Why? ____49____ if you have good listening understanding ability, it opens the door for other skills to develop. Luca ____50____ (begin) learning French at the age of 11, but when he was 14, he started watching two hours of TV in French every day after dinner. He also suggests the “Radio (收音机) in the background”. That means while you’re ____51____ (study), play the radio as background sound. As he says, “I keep the radio on all day while I’m working. During the day, something will catch ____52____ (I) attention. Maybe it’s an advertisement (广告) or it’s ____53____ song I like. I’ll stop and listen and try to understand it. I’m usually curious ____54____ what’s going on in it.” Olly Richards speaks eight languages. One of his ____55____ (tip) is the “No English For 1 Hour Rule.” It means for 60 minutes he can’t speak his native (本土) language (English) but must speak the foreign language. In this way, it will be much ____56____ (easy) for language learners to think in another language. Another tip from him is to plan your conversation ____57____ (careful). So, before class, Olly decides on a topic of conversation, and then writes down all the words and sentences he wants to use in class. He tries to use these words during the lesson. So, which top tip are you going to use? 【答案】48. learn 49. Because 50. began 51. studying 52. my 53. a 54. about 55. tips 56. easier 57. carefully 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了多语言学习者语言学习方法，包括听力训练、“1小时禁用母语”规则等。 【48题详解】 句意：那么，为什么不向他们学习一些方法呢？“why not+动词原形”是固定结构，意为“为什么不做某事”，故填learn。 【49题详解】 句意：因为如果你有良好的听力理解能力，它会为其他技能的发展打开大门。前文“Why?”是提问原因，此处需用Because回答，句首首字母大写，故填Because。 【50题详解】 句意：Luca在11岁时开始学习法语。根据“at the age of 11”可知，此处描述过去的动作，用一般过去时，begin的过去式是began，故填began。 【51题详解】 句意：那意味着当你学习的时候，把收音机当作背景声音播放。本句为while引导的时间状语从句，因从句有you’re，故空处需现在分词构成现在进行时，故填studying。 【52题详解】 句意：白天，有些东西会引起我的注意。此处修饰名词attention，用形容词性物主代词my，故填my。 【53题详解】 句意：也许是一则广告，或者是一首我喜欢的歌。song是可数名词单数，此处表泛指，且song以辅音音素开头，用不定冠词a，故填a。 【54题详解】 句意：我通常很好奇里面发生了什么。“be curious about”是固定搭配，意为“对……好奇”，故填about。 【55题详解】 句意：他的技巧之一是 “1小时禁用英语规则”。“one of+可数名词复数”表示“……之一”，tip的复数是tips，故填tips。 【56题详解】 句意：通过这种方式，语言学习者用另一种语言思考会容易得多。much修饰比较级，easy的比较级是easier，故填easier。 【57题详解】 句意：他的另一个技巧是仔细规划你的对话。此处修饰动词plan，用副词carefully，故填carefully。 八、阅读表达（78题1分，79题2分，80题3分，满分6分） 请认真阅读下面短文，用英语回答短文后的问题，并将答案写在标有题号的横线上 When you travel in Chengdu, don’t forget to watch the wonderful face-changing at the local tea houses. How much do you know about this traditional skill? Let’s learn something about it. Face-changing is a special skill in Sichuan Opera. There are different characters in the play. It is also a wonderful way to show their feelings and thoughts. It is believed that the skill of face-changing started from ancient times. To scare away the dangerous animals, people made themselves look scary (恐怖的). Later, during the Qing Dynasty, it became a famous art form and popular in Sichuan, Chongqing, and some parts of Yunnan and Guizhou. Most people just know three kinds of skills of face-changing: wiping the face (抹脸), blowing the face and pulling the face. However, few people know the breathing skill. The skill of pulling the face is very difficult. Under the cover of the dancing movements, the actor pulls each piece of the facial make-up which is tied with a thin thread. The actor must do the performance (表演) with much care and finish it in a very short time. The master of this skill, Peng Denghuai, changed 14 masks in 25 seconds. This was his latest Guinness World Record (吉尼斯世界纪录). 58. What does face-changing show in a play? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 59. How did people in ancient times scare away the dangerous animals? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 60. Would you like to watch face-changing? Why or why not? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】58. It shows their feelings and thoughts. 59. By making themselves look scary. 60. Yes, I’d like to, because it is a wonderful traditional skill. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国四川传统艺术川剧变脸的历史起源、种类以及表演技巧。 【58题详解】 第二段最后一句直接指出“It is also a wonderful way to show their feelings and thoughts.”。这说明变脸是一种展示人物感受和思想的绝佳方式，直接提取核心短语作答。可填It shows their feelings and thoughts. 【59题详解】 原文提到“To scare away the dangerous animals, people made themselves look scary.”。这里询问方法，用by doing结构提取动作，即通过让自己看起来很吓人来吓跑动物。可填By making themselves look scary. 【60题详解】 这是一道开放性试题，答案不唯一。结合文章介绍变脸是具有悠久历史的传统艺术，且第五段提到大师能在25秒内变换14张脸，速度极快。可以说想看，理由可以是因为它是一门神奇的传统艺术，或者表演非常令人惊叹，言之有理且表达准确即可。可填Yes, I’d like to, because it is a wonderful traditional skill. 九、书面表达（15分） 61. 假如你是Amy，你校的英语角为丰富学生课余生活将增办两个社团。请你选择加入其中一个社团，并写一封申请信给英语角的负责人李老师。 English Club Do you like English?

Inside were bamboo strips (竹片) and silk from her grandfather, a master lantern maker. “Our family art has lasted since 1825,” he said, touching her shoulder gently. “Now it’s your turn to carry on the tradition.” Lin looked at the materials and felt a mix of excitement and worry. The first week of learning was difficult. Bamboo splinters (竹剌) hurt her fingers as she tried to shape the strips. “Why must I learn this old work?” she cried angrily. Her grandfather didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently lit an old lantern. Its painted rabbit was gathering plants under the moon, just like in the Dunhuang wall paintings. The soft light of the lantern seemed to tell a story of the past. At the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin walked through the streets and found children not looking at traditional lanterns. They were more interested in the bright, colorful toys. An idea came to her. She decided to mix the old with the new. Lin cleverly added LED lights, creating dark shapes that moved with the wind. She also programmed the lantern so that touching the rabbit’s foot would start reading a Tang poem. Lin’s “Smart Rabbit Lantern” was a hit. Children gathered around, amazed by the dark shapes and the sound of the ancient poem. At the end of the festival, Lin’s lantern won the first prize. Her grandfather smiled proudly and said, “Tradition is like the moon–it shines brightest when reflecting new light. By adding modern parts, you’ve given our art a new life.” Lin felt a sense of success. She realized that traditions could be kept and refreshed at the same time. She had found a way to keep the past alive. 20. What did Lin’s grandfather give her as her 14th birthday gift? A. A Tang poem. B. A set of LED lights. C. Materials for lantern making. D. An old traditional lantern. 21. What is the correct order according to the passage? ①Lin’ s “Smart Rabbit Lantern” won the first prize at the Mid-Autumn Festival. ②Lin added LED lights and programmed the lantern to read a Tang poem. ③Lin received a gift from her grandfather. ④Lin felt excited but worried about learning the family art. A. ③-④-②-① B. ③-②-①-④ C. ④-②-①-③ D. ④-③-②-① 22. How did Lin show creativity in the story? A. She learned lantern making for only a week. B. She used bamboo and silk from her grandfather. C. She drew rabbits from Dunhuang wall paintings. D. She added LED lights and poems that start when touched. 23. What lesson did Lin learn from her experience with lantern making? A. Traditional skills are too difficult for young people to learn. B. Modern technology should take the place of traditional arts. C. It is important to follow in your family’s footsteps without questioning. D. Mixing tradition with modern technology can create something exciting. C Scientists have long known dolphins are among the smartest ocean animals. However, a recent study in the Gulf of Mexico shows their communication might be as hard as human language. Scientists found that wild dolphin families create special “signature whistles (标志性口哨)” to call each other, much like how people use names. To test this, the team played underwater recordings of different dolphin whistles. When a dolphin heard its family’s special sound, it quickly swam toward the speaker. ________ This proved these sounds act like personal IDs. The study also found dolphins mix whistles in creative ways to share messages, such as warning about danger or pointing out food locations. Interestingly, baby dolphins spend months practicing these sounds, just like human babies learning to talk. This suggests adult dolphins actively teach their young, an unusual behavior in the animal world. Scientists say this finding helps us understand how intelligence (智力) develops in different species. Sea biologists believe studying dolphin language could support conservation (保护) efforts. For example, knowing how dolphins communicate about dangers might help protect them from ocean pollution or ship noises. Already, some teams are using AI tools to decode dolphin sounds in real time. These AI tools can explain the meaning of the sounds. In this way, humans could better watch dolphin health and create safer sea environments. This study not only deepens our love for dolphins’ intelligence but also reminds us to protect these amazing animals and their underwater home. 24. What did dolphins do when hearing their family’s whistle? A. They swam away quickly. B. They repeated the same sound. C. They moved toward the sound. D. They warned others of danger. 25. Which of the following can be put in “________” in Para. 2? A. However, it copied unknown sounds like “Hello”. B. However, it ate fish happily when hearing strange calls. C. However, it swam faster when boats made loud engine sounds. D. However, it paid no attention to whistles from unknown groups. 26. What does the underlined word “decode” in Par. 4 most probably mean? A. Design. B. Translate. C. Predict. D. Hear. 27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Saving Dolphins in the Ocean. B. Baby Dolphins’ Learning Journey. C. How AI Helps Marine Research. D. The Amazing Whistle Language. 五、信息还原（每小题1分，共5分） 从下列A-G七个选项中选出最适合填入文中空缺的五个选项，并将其字母编号填写在题后横线上。（有两项为多余选项） Do you ever look closely at the paper money from different countries?
