On Thursday October 3, Adam Harper decided to stop drinking coffee. Adam is a MBA student at Harvard University. He studies long hours, ge
ts very little sleep and as a result, he drinks a lot of coffee---anywhere from five to six cups a day. Recently, Adam felt that drinking thus much cof fee was making it hard for him to sleep at all.

Can you speak to dolphins? Of course you can b ut you won’t be able to understand them! We int erviewed a biologist and asked her what researc h on dolphin communication has shown. This is what she told us.
Just like dogs, cats and other mammals, dolphin s communicate by using sound, vision (视
觉), touch and taste. Each dolphin has its own si gnature whistle to identify itself and to call other s. Dolphins don’t have the ability to smell, but th eir hearing and eyesight are excellent.
We also asked Jane if dolphins have got their ow n language. She told us that they have and that d olphins started talking to each other from birth. They make different sounds, including whistles, squeaks and click. Sometimes they even sound li ke a heavy metal band!
We then asked Jane if any interesting experimen ts have been done. She told us that a very interes ting experiment had been done with a mother do lphin and her two-year-old baby in an aquarium . They talked to each other over the telephone! T he two dolphins were in separate tanks which we re connected by a special under water system. U nfortunately the biologists couldn’t understand what the dolphins were talking about because th ey have n’t been able to decode (转换) dolphin language yet. However, it was very c lear that the dolphins knew what they were talki
ng about.
Finally we asked Jane if there was hope that we would be able to understand dolphins in the nea r future. She told us that she and her team have been listening to dolphins for more than 17 year s, using special equipment to record and analyze their language. Unfortunately they haven’t been able to decode it yet, but who knows — maybe o ne day we’ll get a phone call from a dolphin.

答案：[41-45]DCCAB [46-50]DCBDB [51-55]ADADB
解析：
【语篇解读】
本文大意：本文讲述了一个发生在马路上的故事。

作者在下班高峰期开车赶回家过生日，却在等红绿灯时遇到一名乞讨男子，男子手拿着一个纸板，上面写着身患胃癌，需要食物或者钱。

作者经过一番心理挣扎后，选择开车离开，但过后心里感到不安，返回决定给男子一些帮助，但此时男子已经离开，作者因此而感到遗憾和自责。

[41].此题考查名词，根据前文“I hurried to drive home for m y 30th birthday celebration”可知作者的丈夫要给她一个惊喜。

因此选择D. surprise
[42].此题考查动词，前文讲到作者开车回家“I hurried to drive h ome”，遇到红灯停下“Then I came up to a red light and stopp ed”，可知作者在等待红灯的时候遇到了那个乞讨的男人。

因此选择C. wait ing
[43].此题考查动词，乞讨的男人手里应该是拿着硬纸板，因此选择C. h olding
[44].此题考查形容词，当你身处市中心时，遇到乞讨的人应该是很常见的，并且后文谈到作者通常会无视他们，直接经过，可见该种现象是普遍的，因此选择A. common
[45].此题考查的是动词，根据后文“but this time when I looke
d over th
e sign, I stopped”，可见前后句是转折关系，后句说作者仔细看了硬纸板并且停了下来，可以推测作者之前都是直接经过，故选 B. pas s
[46].此题考查副词，虽然我不知道为什么，但是这个标牌还是打动了我。

因此选择 D. why
[47].此题考查副词，根据后文“but”可知前后句是转折关系，虽然我不能确切地记得标牌上究竟写了些什么，但是它是诸如此类的话...”因此选择C. exactly
[48].此题考查名词，根据常理判断，乞丐应该是所要钱财和食物。

因此选择B. food
[49].此题考查介词，根据前文“Then I came up to a red ligh t and stopped”，可知我来到了红绿灯处，高峰期的车流应该是在我的身后，因此选择D. behind
[50].此题考查动词，由本句“or”可知是一个选择关系，是应该把车停下来做点什么还是直接开走什么都不做，因此选择B. driv
e
[51].此题考查形容词，前文中作者由于一番犹豫之后决定不理会，行车离开，但行至一段路程后，“my hear had sunk simply for this guy”心中一沉，感到难过愧疚，A项“upset”有“难过；失望”的含义，因此选择A. upset
[52].此题考查名词，前文提到男子手中所举纸板上写的“have stomac
h cancer, homeless”，描述了男子目前的遭遇，是不好的事情。

【语篇解读】
本次考试的第A篇是一篇应用文。

讲的是培训学校招生的广告。

[56].主旨题，题干问我们在哪里可以看到这个材料，那么这是一个招生广告，可能来自A. newspaper广告。

B. an English book（英语书）不可能。

C. a city centre report(城市中心报告)也不符合，
D. a summer pro gram（暑期项目）与内容符合，易选错，但是题目问从哪里可以看到这个材料，答案应该是A报纸。

如果问这个材料是关于什么，才是暑期项目。

[57].推理题，题干问这个项目是针对哪些学生，通过第一句“Richard h as turned a corner..”可以判断出孩子在这里会被改变变好，所以是针对那些在学校不太好的学生，选D。

而ABC都是说针对优秀的和好的孩子，所以错误。

[58].推理题，题干问Richard可能是这个暑期项目的什么。

从文中可以看出，这是个招生广告，第一段说Richard在这里变化很大，变得很好，说明她是一个好的例子，选B。

选项中A和C说她是专家和老师，显然错误，而D项说Richard是boy也是一个易错点，文中第一段用“her”代替可知是女孩。

[59].推理题，如果我们想要更多的信息，文中A很巧妙地设计了陷阱，电话号码错了，容易忽视。

C“have to pay more money”和文中“free”矛盾，而D项文中无提及，所以答案为B.
[60].推理题，A项这个项目需要有经验的老师，文中说它拥有有经验的老师，没有提到需要，所以错误。

B项没有提供邮件地址，从图中可以看到邮箱地址，也错误。

D项只有一个centre，从文中左下方Centres in…可以看出不止一个。

所以得出答案Ｃ。

Can you speak to dolphins? Of course you can but yo
u won’t be able to understand them! We interviewed a biolo gist and asked her what research on dolphin communication h as shown. This is what she told us.
Just like dogs, cats and other mammals, dolphins communic ate by using sound, vision (视觉), touch and taste. Each d olphin has its own signature whistle to identify itself an
d to call others. Dolphins don’t hav
e the ability to smel l, but their hearing and eyesight are excellent.
We also asked Jane if dolphins have got their own langu age. She told us that they have and that dolphins starte
d talking to each other from birth. They mak
e different so unds, including whistles, squeaks and click. Sometimes the
y even sound like a heavy metal band!
We then asked Jane if any interesting experiments have b een done. She told us that a very interesting experiment h ad been done with a mother dolphin and her two-year-old ba by in an aquarium. They talked to each other over the tel ephone! The two dolphins were in separate tanks which wer
e connected by a special under water system. Unfortunatel
y the biologists couldn’t understand what the dolphins wer e talking about because they haven’t been able to decod
e (转换) dolphin language yet. However, it was very clea
r that the dolphins knew what they were talking about.
Finally we asked Jane if there was hope that we woul
d b
e able to understand dolphins in the near future. Sh
e told us that she and her team have been listening to d olphins for more than 17 years, using special equipment t
o record and analyze their language. Unfortunately they have n’t been able to decode it yet, but who knows —maybe o ne day we’ll get a phone call from a dolphin.
66. It’s clear that ________.
A. we can speak to dolphins but not talk with
B. dolphins have not got their own language
C. researches on dolphins have just begun
D. only biologists know what dolphins talk about。
