Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. A mother dolphin (海豚) chats with her baby over the telephone! They were in separate tanks connected by a special underwater audio link. “It seemed clear that they knew who they were talking with,” says Don White, whose Project Delphis ran the experiment. But what were they saying?

Scientists think dolphins “talk” about everything from basic facts like their age to their emotional state. “I speculate that they say things like ?there are some good fish over here,? or ?watch out for that shark because he?s hunting,?” says Denise Herzing, who studies dolphins in the Bahamas.

Deciphering (译解) “dolphin speak” is also tricky because their language is so dependent on what they’re doing, whether they’re playing, fighting, or going after tasty fish. During fights, for example, dolphins clap (碰撞) their jaws to say “Back off!” But their jaws clap while playing, too, as if to show who?s king of the underwater playground.

16. How did the mother dolphin talk with her baby over the telephone? A. Two connected tanks were separated for the talk.

B. A special underwater audio link was set up for the talk. C. Both the mother dolphin and the baby knew each other. D. A clear voice could be heard in the two separate tanks.

17. Dolphins seem to talk to each other about any of the following EXCEPT _____. A. their age

B. their emotional state C. food sources D. audio link

18. Why is it challenging to interpret “dolphin speak”?

A. Because dolphins? language heavily relies on their actions. B. Because dolphins like to talk about their language.

C. Because playing and fighting are part of dolphins? life. D. Because tasty fish are difficult for dolphins to catch.

19. A dolphin might be saying “_____” when it claps its jaws. A. Go back to your home! B. Who is playing here! C. I am the king here!

D. Show me who the king is!

20. When scientists describe dolphins? communicative skills, their tone is rather _____.

A. affirmative B. speculative C. playful D. negative Passage Three

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

The economy in the United States is heavily dependent on aluminum, a material widely used in the construction of buildings and in making such diverse things as cars, airplanes, and food containers. In 1979 Americans used over five million tons of new aluminum, and one and a half million tons of recycled aluminum. Some ninety percent of the bauxite (矾土) ore from which new aluminum is normally derived had to be imported to meet the demand. Poorer ores are abundant in the United States, however, and researchers at Purdue University may recently have found a way to obtain aluminum magnetically from these.

Although aluminum is not attracted by ordinary magnets, under special conditions it becomes temporarily \field. This is achieved by immersing ore particles in water to which certain salts have been added and then filtering the ore through steel wool in the presence of a strong magnetic field. It is hoped that this technique will reduce the amount of high-grade aluminum the United States must import. 21. The passage focuses on _____________.

A. construction and manufacturing industry in the United States B. new technique of obtaining aluminum from poor ores

C. consumption and production of aluminum in the United States D. the annual import of high-grade aluminum into the United States

22. It is believed that a new technique to _________ will probably be found. A. recycle old aluminum products B. discover more bauxite ores

C. make aluminum by putting ore particles under water D. take out aluminum magnetically from poorer ores

23. In the second paragraph the word \A. slightly magnetic B. a weak magnetic field

C. a strong magnetic substance D. the under-water magnetic power

24. By immersing ore particles in water, ____________. A. we can get ore particles of equal size B. we can purify aluminum particles C. we can filter out aluminum

D. we can improve the working conditions around

25. We understand from the passage that the United States ____________. A. is rich in low-grade aluminum-beating ores

B. is short of aluminum-making techniques

C. has to import ninety percent of its annual need of aluminum

D. has to produce fifty percent of the world's supply to meet its annual aluminum demand
