Dolphins（海豚）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 years. Like some 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 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.

65. 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

66. 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.

67. 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.

68. 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

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項中選出最佳選項。

　　When humans and nature go head to head, nature often ends up losing. Rivers get polluted. Trees are knocked down. Natural resources are exhausted. That's what makes the Galapagos Islands so special--it's one of the few pristine (原始狀態(tài)的) places on Earth that nature can truly call its own.

　　For people used to having wild animals run at the scent of humans, a visit to the Galapagos is a real eyeopening experience. Over 1,600km west of Ecuador (厄瓜多爾), the islands are home to a unique variety of animals that have absolutely no fear of people. Visitors can play on the beach with sea lions and giant sea turtles, swim with dolphins and whales, and get close enough to the penguins (企鵝) to count the eggs in their nests.

　　The islands were declared a national park over 40 years ago, and the number of human visitors is tightly limited to avoid damaging the environment or putting stress on the animals. Tourists have to pay a $100 daily visitors fee, and can't step off the boat unless accompanied (陪同) by an official guide. Once on the islands, you have to stay on the trail, but that rarely presents a problem: the animals are so curious about people that they'll usually come up to say hello.

　　“It's a little like being in a zoo,”said one traveler.“But instead of us looking at the animals, the animals are looking at us.”

　　Aside from the wildlife, one of the islands' more unusual features is its post office. You can send postcards for free, but the catch is that there's no postman to collect them. Instead, travelers pick up mail addressed to people who live near them back home, and then hand-deliver the postcards when their trip is finished.

1．The Galapagos Islands are _____.

[　　]

A．terribly polluted　　　　　　B．near Ecuador

C．in the Atlantic Ocean　　　　D．independent of Ecuador

2．Which animal is NOT mentioned in the passage?

[　　]

A．Whales.　　　　　　B．Sea lions.

C．Goats.　　　　　　　D．Dolphins.

3．On the Galapagos Islands the mail is delivered by _____.

[　　]

A．the government　　　　　　B．the post office

C．the tourists　　　　　　　　D．the guides

4．What would be the best title for the passage?

[　　]

A．The Islands　Galapagos　　　B．Humans and Nature

C．Go Head to Head　　　　　　D．Ecuador--An Island Country
