Dolphins are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this 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 year.
Like some other 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 (伤害) 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.
34. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _________.
A. live in groups
B. have large brains
C. are warm-blooded
D.have their own language
35. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?
A. Its nose.
B. Its ears.
C. Its mouth.
D. Its eyes.
36. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?
A. He was lonely and liked to be with people
B. They enjoyed playing with him.
C. He was seriously wounded.
D. They wanted his help.
37. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _________.
A. dolphins are friendly and clever
B. People are cruel to animals
C. Jack is different from other dolphins
D. dolphins should be protected by law

A study suggests that the United States needs to work on training and keeping scientists.
Since 1980, the number of jobs that need science and engineering (S&E) knowledge has increased (增加). And each year in the US, the number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by 5%.
In the next 20 years, many talented people with S&E knowledge will retire (退休), because more than half of them now are in their 40s or older and 30% of them are 55 or older. Therefore, to have enough talented people, universities need to train students in S&E. Yet fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E. In other words, there are not enough new talented people to take the place of the retiring ones, so there will be a gap (缺口) in the future.
In the past, the US filled this gap with foreign talented people. These people came to the US to study and got their doctorates (博士学位) from American universities. Many of them lived in the US to use their science skills . In 2001, foreign talented people not more than half of the doctorates in S&E in this country.
But the US can’t only depend on foreign talented people. In order to have more Americans with doctorates that work in jobs in S&E, more students need to go to university. However, even though the US is starting to support science, and middle school students are deciding to become scientists, these students will not finish their studies until 2018 or 2020.
38. The number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by _________ each year in the US.
A. 30%
B. 5%
C. 40%
D. 20%
39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?
A. In the US many old talented people with S&E knowledge will not retire because they are needed.
B. Universities are training students in S&E to have enough talented people.
C. A lot of foreign talented people lived in the US to use their science skills.
D. Fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&
E.
40. In the passage the writer thinks that________.
A. all the students should study science at university in the US
B. foreign talented students get less than half of the doctorates in the US
C. the US needs to do something to keep talented people in S&E
D. there are too many people in America that need jobs
41. What main point does the writer mainly make in the last paragraph?
A. Foreign talented people will not be used in the US in future.
B. There will be more students to go to university to study in 2018.
C. US people that have doctorates can work in jobs in S&E.
D. There is still a long way to go to fill the gap.

In the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a vet hospital that was ru n by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turned out, the experience I got at the hospital taught me the opposite: my future was not in vet medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something maybe more important.
The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we often had people come in who could just only pay for the most basic treatments. This Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection (感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the near est the animal shelter was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.
I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but it was only seen on TV or in movies. The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant (犹豫) to help someone who is in need, I remember that woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow.
42. Why did the writer work at the vet hospital?
A. He thought he would work there in the future.
B. He wanted to get some skills of treating animals.
C. He wanted to get some money for his schooling
D. He wanted to get some experience for his future work.
43. What is the most important according to the writer?
A. How to be a kind person who helps others.
B. The practical experience of the vet job.
C. How to deal with the owners of pets.
D. The knowledge of vet medicine.
44. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue”?
A. Out of order.
B. All of a sudden .
C. Now and then.
D. First of all.
45. The ________ made the writer have the courage to help someone in need.
A. The officer
B. The boy
C. The woman
D. The father

The most important thing you should know about the high jump is not to give up. You will be successful only by practicing. All your friends will be amazed at your performance. With a lot of hard work you can improve your jumps.
The first suggestion you should keep in mind is using a longer approach (助跑). This may cause the most common mistakes. You must be with at least 20 feet behind the bar (起跑线) for getting the time to make a better reaction.
Another important suggestion is to feel good with your running speed. Remember this is not a running competition. Try to make suitable for the speed to your body. Run perpendicularly (直立地) to the bar and do the best you can. Even if your friends run faster than you, the important thing is how high the jump is.
Before jumping you should do some small exercises. For example, try doing some little jumps. This will let your mind know that you are preparing to jump again. This is more important than you think. It will help you get better results.
Lifting weights will help you improve the body balance. This is very important if you wish to jump high. Try not to do this exercising in the same day when you are planning to jump. You need a good plan for exercising. By lifting weights your muscles (肌肉) will get stronger too.
The only way to jump high is by working hard. You must know that it might take a while until you achieve the performance you wish. Giving up is not a choice. Do your best and someday you will get
