13．（10分）Dolphins live in a dark underwater world.It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them，so sound plays an important role in their survival.To communicate with each other，dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.
Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean.Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication，except for one kind of whistle.It might last less than a second，but this whistle is a big deal.Why？Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins﹣﹣and every dolphin has one.Scientists call these sounds a "signature whistle." When other dolphins hear the whistle，they know which dolphin is whistling（哨声）.
Dolphins often look for food by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group.Since they can't always see each other，dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of meters away.That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.
What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin.Not the mother.Not an aunt dolphin or another group member.Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle.Like human babies，a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year.While testing its sound skills，a baby dolphin is doing something amazing.It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle.How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear.Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old，its signature whistle is set.The baby dolphin repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering（ 破译） dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about.Do they discuss about sharks？Maybe they even have a name for people.Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
（1）Why is sound important for dolphins？
A.Because they have big groups.
B.Because they have a poor eyesight.
C.Because they live in a dark environment.
D.Because they have a poor sense of direction.
（2）The dolphin's signature whistle is used to .
A.look for food
B.recognize other animals
C.travel far away
D.check in with other dolphins
（3）Who gives a baby dolphin its name？
A.Mother dolphins.
B.The dolphin itself.
C.Aunt dolphin.
D.Its group members.
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？
A.The dolphins' whistle can last more than a second.
B.Dolphins make sounds to communicate with each other.
C.Scientists don't know what dolphins communicate about.
D.The baby dolphin sets its signature whistle at the age of about one.
（5）The underlined words "figuring out" in Paragraph 3 have the closest meaning to " ".
A.looking out
B.helping out
C.calling out
D.finding out
14．（10分）There are many English proverbs （谚语） that are about "home".Here are some of the best.
There's no place like home.
There is no place like home means home is the best place to be.This proverb comes from the song Home Sweet Home. （1） Maybe it's not that comfortable，but it's where love and family can be found.After being away for so long，you will always find there's no place like home.So if you have been elsewhere for a long time，you can say "There's no place like home." as soon as you arrive home to show how you miss your home and parents.
（2）
Though this proverb also has the word "home"，it's actually about working skills.Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way，just in order to save time. （3） At first，people may think it'll save time if they do the job as fast as they can，however，it's easy to make mistakes if they only care about the speed，and more time will be spent in redoing the task. （4）
Home is where the heart is.
Home doesn't have to be the building that you live in.It is where you most want to be.This is usually wherever someone's family is，or where they grew up. （5） It may be the same city they live in now，the city where they grew up，the house where their parents live，or the place where they are raising their family.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.So slow down，slow is fast.
B.The longest way round is the shortest way home.
C.It simply means no matter where one is，home is always the best.
D.This is also true of some adults who have to finish certain tasks.
E.Most adults have some places in their mind they think as their "home"．

What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin.Not the mother.Not an aunt dolphin or another group member.Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle.Like human babies，a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year.While testing its sound skills，a baby dolphin is doing something amazing.It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle.How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear.Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old，its signature whistle is set.The baby dolphin repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering（ 破译） dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about.Do they discuss about sharks？Maybe they even have a name for people.Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
（1）Why is sound important for dolphins？ C
A.Because they have big groups.
B.Because they have a poor eyesight.
C.Because they live in a dark environment.
D.Because they have a poor sense of direction.
（2）The dolphin's signature whistle is used to D .
A.look for food
B.recognize other animals
C.travel far away
D.check in with other dolphins
（3）Who gives a baby dolphin its name？ B
A.Mother dolphins.
B.The dolphin itself.
C.Aunt dolphin.
D.Its group members.
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？ A
A.The dolphins' whistle can last more than a second.
B.Dolphins make sounds to communicate with each other.
C.Scientists don't know what dolphins communicate about.
D.The baby dolphin sets its signature whistle at the age of about one.
（5）The underlined words "figuring out" in Paragraph 3 have the closest meaning to " D ".
A.looking out
B.helping out
C.calling out
D.finding out
【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了科学家破解了海豚发出的一种哨声，这种哨声其实就是海豚的名字。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第一段Dolphins live in a dark underwater world.It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them，so sound plays an important role in their survival.（海豚生活在一个黑暗的海底世界，通常看不到彼此或周围的任何东西，所以声音在它们的生存中起着重要作用。）可知，声音对海豚很重要是因为它们生活在黑暗的环境中。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段Since they can't always see each other，dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of meters away.（由于它们不能总是看到对方，海豚会用它们的标志性口哨与数百米外的其他海豚打交道。）可知，海豚的标志性口哨用于与其他海豚打交道。故选D。
（3）细节理解题。根据第四段What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin.（令人惊奇的是谁给小海豚起名。）Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle.（科学家们认为，小海豚本身就带有标志性的口哨。）可知，小海豚的名字是自己给的。故选B。
（4）正误判断题。根据第二段It might last less than a second，but this whistle is a big deal.（它可能持续不到一秒钟，但这个哨声很重要。）可知，A项，海豚的哨声可以持续一秒钟以上。表述错误。故选A。
（5）短语理解题。根据最后一段Deciphering dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about.（破译海豚的名字只是figuring out海豚交流什么的开始。）可知，figuring out是发现的意思。故选D。
14．（10分）There are many English proverbs （谚语） that are about "home".Here are some of the best.
There's no place like home.
There is no place like home means home is the best place to be.This proverb comes from the song Home Sweet Home. （1） C Maybe it's not that comfortable，but it's where love and family can be found.After being away for so long，you will always find there's no place like home.So if you have been elsewhere for a long time，you can say "There's no place like home." as soon as you arrive home to show how you miss your home and parents.
（2） B
Though this proverb also has the word "home"，it's actually about working skills.Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way，just in order to save time. （3） D At first，people may think it'll save time if they do the job as fast as they can，however，it's easy to make mistakes if they only care about the speed，and more time will be spent in redoing the task. （4） A
Home is where the heart is.
Home doesn't have to be the building that you live in.It is where you most want to be.This is usually wherever someone's family is，or where they grew up. （5） E It may be the same city they live in now，the city where they grew up，the house where their parents live，or the place where they are raising their family.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.So slow down，slow is fast.
B.The longest way round is the shortest way home.
C.It simply means no matter where one is，home is always the best.
D.This is also true of some adults who have to finish certain tasks.
E.Most adults have some places in their mind they think as their "home"．
【分析】这篇短文主要讲述了有关"家"的英语谚语。
【解答】细节推理题。
（1）根据上文There is no place like home means home is the best place to be.（没有像家一样的地方意味着家是最好的地方。）以及下文Maybe it's not that comfortable，but it's where love and family can be found.After being away for so long，you will always find there's no place like home.（或许没有那么舒服，但在这里可以找到爱和家人。离开这么久，你总会发现没有像家一样的地方。）可知，说的是家时最好的地方。结合选项可知，C项，简单的说，无论在哪里，家永远是最好的。符合语境。故选C。
（2）根据下文Though this proverb also has the word "home"，it's actually about working skills.Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way，just in order to save time. （虽然这句谚语也有"家"这个词，但实际上是关于工作技巧的。有时有些学生做作业的方式非常快，只是为了节省时间。）可知，说的是工作技巧，节约时间。结合选项可知，B项，绕道似最远，归程是捷径。符合语境。故选B。
（3）根据上文Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way，just in order to save time. （有时有些学生做作业很快，只是为了节省时间。）可知，说的是学生完成作业。结合选项可知，D项，一些必须完成某些任务的成年人也是如此。符合语境。故选D。
（4）根据上文At first，people may think it'll save time if they do the job as fast as they can，however，it's easy to make mistakes if they only care about the speed，and more time will be spent in redoing the task. （起初，人们可能认为尽可能快地完成工作会节省时间，但如果只关心速度，则很容易出错，并且会花费更多时间来重做任务。）可知，说的是完成工作不能只关心速度。结合选项可知，A项，所以慢下来，慢就是快。符合语境。故选A。
（5）根据下文It may be the same city they live in now，the city where they grew up，the house where their parents live，or the place where they are raising their family.（可能是他们现在居住的城市，可能是他们长大的城市，可能是他们父母居住的房子，也可能是他们养家糊口的地方。）可知，说的是一些地方。结合选项可知，E项，大多数成年人在他们的脑海中都有一些他们认为是"家"的地方。符合语境。故选E。

13．（10分）Dolphins live in a dark underwater world.It's often impossible to see each other or anything else around them，so sound plays an important role in their survival.To communicate with each other，dolphins produce all kinds of sounds.
Only other dolphins understand what the sounds mean.Scientists haven't uncovered their secret communication，except for one kind of whistle.It might last less than a second，but this whistle is a big deal.Why？Because these whistles are actually names of dolphins﹣﹣and every dolphin has one.Scientists call these sounds a "signature whistle." When other dolphins hear the whistle，they know which dolphin is whistling（哨声）.
Dolphins often look for food by themselves but still need to stay connected to the group.Since they can't always see each other，dolphins use their signature whistles to check in with other dolphins hundreds of meters away.That means dolphins shout out to group members that might be nearly five football fields away.
What's amazing is who names the baby dolphin.Not the mother.Not an aunt dolphin or another group member.Scientists believe the baby dolphin itself comes up with the signature whistle.Like human babies，a baby dolphin plays with sounds throughout its first year.While testing its sound skills，a baby dolphin is doing something amazing.It's creating or figuring out its signature whistle.How or why it chooses its signature whistle is not clear.Studies show that most of the time the signature whistle is nothing like its mother's or group members' whistles.
When the baby dolphin is about a year old，its signature whistle is set.The baby dolphin repeats it often so the other dolphins learn to recognize it.
Deciphering（ 破译） dolphin names is just the beginning of figuring out what dolphins communicate about.Do they discuss about sharks？Maybe they even have a name for people.Someday scientists are to decipher the rest of dolphins' communication.
（1）Why is sound important for dolphins？
A.Because they have big groups.
B.Because they have a poor eyesight.
C.Because they live in a dark environment.
D.Because they have a poor sense of direction.
（2）The dolphin's signature whistle is used to .
A.look for food
B.recognize other animals
C.travel far away
D.check in with other dolphins
（3）Who gives a baby dolphin its name？
A.Mother dolphins.
B.The dolphin itself.
C.Aunt dolphin.
D.Its group members.
（4）Which of the following is NOT true according to the text？
A.The dolphins' whistle can last more than a second.
B.Dolphins make sounds to communicate with each other.
C.Scientists don't know what dolphins communicate about.
D.The baby dolphin sets its signature whistle at the age of about one.
（5）The underlined words "figuring out" in Paragraph 3 have the closest meaning to " ".
A.looking out
B.helping out
C.calling out
D.finding out
14．（10分）There are many English proverbs （谚语） that are about "home".Here are some of the best.
There's no place like home.
There is no place like home means home is the best place to be.This proverb comes from the song Home Sweet Home. （1） Maybe it's not that comfortable，but it's where love and family can be found.After being away for so long，you will always find there's no place like home.So if you have been elsewhere for a long time，you can say "There's no place like home." as soon as you arrive home to show how you miss your home and parents.
（2）
Though this proverb also has the word "home"，it's actually about working skills.Sometimes some students do their homework in a really quick way，just in order to save time. （3） At first，people may think it'll save time if they do the job as fast as they can，however，it's easy to make mistakes if they only care about the speed，and more time will be spent in redoing the task. （4）
Home is where the heart is.
Home doesn't have to be the building that you live in.It is where you most want to be.This is usually wherever someone's family is，or where they grew up. （5） It may be the same city they live in now，the city where they grew up，the house where their parents live，or the place where they are raising their family.
根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。
A.So slow down，slow is fast.
B.The longest way round is the shortest way home.
C.It simply means no matter where one is，home is always the best.

E.Most adults have some places in their mind they think as their "home"．

（5）根据下文It may be the same city they live in now，the city where they grew up，the house where their parents live，or the place where they are raising their family.（可能是他们现在居住的城市，可能是他们长大的城市，可能是他们父母居住的房子，也可能是他们养家糊口的地方。）可知，说的是一些地方。结合选项可知，E项，大多数成年人在他们的脑海中都有一些他们认为是"家"的地方。符合语境。故选E。
