二、阅读理解（共20小题，阅读部分每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列五篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。

A
Dolphins (海豚) are not fish. They are mammals(哺乳动物). They live in groups and speak to each other in their own language. But they are quite different from almost all land animals. Their brain(大脑)is as big as men’s and they live a long life---- at least 20 or 30 years.
Like some animals, dolphins use sounds to help them find their way around. They also use these sounds to talk to each other and help them find food. They do not use their ears to receive sounds, but use the jaw--- the lower part of the mouth. It is strange that dolphins are friendly to men, and for thousands of years, there are many stories about dolphins and men. In the 19th century, in a dangerous part of the sea near New Zealand, there was a dolphin. The seamen liked him very much and gave him a very good name, Jack. From 1871 to 1903, Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. In 1903 a passenger on a boat with the name of The Penguin shot and hurt Jack. Luckily the dolphin didn’t die, and after a long time he was well again. He guided the ships through the area for nine more years, but he refused to help the boat The Penguin.
Today, some people still kill dolphins, but many countries in the world now protect them. In these places, people are not allowed to kill them.
41. How do dolphins find their way?
A. They use their noses to smell the way.
B. They use their ears to hear the sounds.
C. They use their eyes to see the way.
D. They use sounds to find the way.
42. Who was Jack?
A. The writer.
B. A dolphin.
C. A seaman.
D. The passenger.
43. The dolphin guided the ships for about _______.
A.32 years
B. 9 years
C. 41 years
D. 23 years
44. According to the passage, which of the following is not right?
A. Dolphins are not fish.
B. Dolphins don’t live in groups.
C. Dolphins are kind and friendly to people.
D. Dolphins can live a long life.
B
Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his paren ts died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a dog named Tiger. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know tha t an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.
One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind worlds he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away, and then he whistled (吹口哨)to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated(重复) the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog! Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.
“Unum! Even a dog likes it!” he said, “Well, Tige r, I won’t say un kind words to you any more.” Tige r waved its tail happily.
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on, he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed(种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power(力量) it has!”

This year, Sichuan schools decide to start morning classes an hour later. This will help students feel less tired. And most junior high schools will begin the first
class at about 8:30 am.
The students are happy about the change.
Liu Ming told us that his class were excited by the news on the first day of school. “Great! From now on we students at Chengdu No. 4 Middle School don' t have to get up so early !" Liu said that he used to get up at 6:40 am. Now he can get up at 7:40 am because class doesn’t start until 8:40 am.
Wu Hongli feels the same. She said the new timetable ( 时间表) was good for her health. "I used to get up at 6:30 am. I had to drink coffee every night, or I would feel too sleepy to finish my homework, " said Wu. “Now I can finish it without coffee. Because I can sleep a little longer. ”
Many teachers say the change will help students learn better. "Students used to doze (瞌睡) for the first two classes in the morning, " said Huang Shan, an English teacher at Chengdu No. 12 Middle School. "But now they are active in class and learn much better than before.”
But some parents are worried that more sleep will mean less learning. There used to be five classes in the morning. Now there are only four.
In fact, every coin has two sides. So does the change in the school timetable.

Have you noticed an advertisement which says “Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send…” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. Anyone who learns a foreign language would think that it is not true.
The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. What is the mother tongue? It is the first and main language that you learnt when you were a child. And think how much practice that a child gets!
Before the Second World War, people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literary(文学的) works of the country. Nowadays, speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it?
Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio and television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only two or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and many language learners need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the student’s work for him. Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work with a lot of training in reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
57. In the advertisement it is possible for a person to learn a foreign language ___. In fact, everyone who learns English would think it is not true.
A more than a century
B half a week
C six years
D less than two months
58. Before the Second World War, people want to learn a foreign language in order to ___.
A speak to each other
B write the literary report of the other country
C read something they didn’t know
D listen to the radio
59. The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is ___.
A using the language six or more hours a day
B learning the language at school
C studying the language in the foreign country
D reading the foreign stories as many as possible
60. The passage tells us that ___.
A the more time you spend, the quicker you’ll learn the language
B it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeks
C it is not good to learn a foreign language by yourselves
D the quicker you learn a foreign language, the more you may pay for it
