第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）

A
Dolphins are interesting animals and researchers find them interesting to watch. They don’t have hands, but can use tools to solve problems, just like us. Scientists have observed a dolphin trying to get a shy eel(鳝鱼) to come out of its hole by poking(捅)it with a dead fish. Many species of dolphin live in large societies. They have many different relationships and need a good communication system; they use a variety of sounds to communicate with each other.
There is currently no evidence that dolphins have a language of their own. But scientists still have a lot to find out about these animals and so there are certain to be a few surprises in the future.
At Kewalo Basin Marine Laboratory in Hawaii, the dolphin team have developed a sign language to communicate with the dolphins, and the results are amazing. Not only do the dolphins understand the meaning of individual words, they also understand the significance of word order in a sentence. For example, when they were asked to ‘touch the ball with your tail and then jump over it’ they generally responded correctly and straight away, which showed that they understood the language.
Most mammals seem to enjoy play—but dolphins seems to like making their games as challenging as possible. On a beautiful day in 1997, researchers working at a beach, off the southern coast of Brazil, observed a little dog going into the sea and swimming towards the dolphins. To their surprise, the dolphins approached the dog and then started throwing it into the air. The dog seemed to enjoy the ‘game’ and continued playing with the dolphins for more than an hour. From then on, different dogs were seem trying to interact with the dolphins.
Dolphins live in a very different world from ours, but they are very good at our‘intelligence tests’. For example, they will jump out of the water when they hear a whistle noise. They do this because they will get a fish as a reward. There is still much to learn about these flexible(灵活的)problem-solvers, but from the evidence so far, it would seem as though dolphins are very intelligent.

A. a tool B. its tail   
C. a dead fish      D. its mouth
57. At a laboratory in Hawaii, the dolphin team have developed a to communicate with the dolphins.
A. variety of sounds          B. sign language   
C. special word order         D. dolphin’s language
58. Dolphins not only understand the meaning of individual words, they also understand the importance of in a sentence.
A. the subject     B. the verbs    
C. the main structure     D. word order
59. When they play, dolphins seems to like making their games as as possible.
A. difficult    B. easy    
C. interesting      D. relaxing

Traveling in winter is never easy. Air travel might sound like the most convenient method of winter travel, but it has its shortcomings. The season of cold sometimes interrupts your travel plans and flights often get cancelled or delayed. We bring you some tips to keep in mind if you are traveling by air in the winter.
Early flights are on time
Early morning flights have been found to be more on time than the ones later in the day. You would have to wake up very early, but it would be worth it. Any delay in the flight schedule during the day leads to a series of delays, so the best way to avoid a delayed flight is to fly early.
Partner airlines can help
Partner airlines can help you in times of delayed flights. Some airlines work in association with partner airlines. In case your flight gets cancelled or delayed, you can ask for a seat with the partner airline, if your airline supports it.
Join a club
Joining a club will surely make you shell out some money, but if you are a frequent flyer, this is the best choice for you. When your flight gets delayed for hours, you can join those clubs in the airport rather than being stuck in the airport. Also, going to different travel agents is easier from the clubs, and they can assist you with various choices available.
Consider a travel agent
At times when you are stuck in situations where your flight is delayed or cancelled, instead of dealing directly with the airline staff, it is best to lay the responsibility on your travel agent. Your travel agent will act on your behalf and solve the issues instead of you standing in the queue and dealing with the issue all by yourself.
 61. The author suggests taking morning flights because .
A. no one likes to get up early like you
B. you can have more time to work
C. no one wishes to take afternoon flights
D. you can avoid having a delayed flight
62. What is the benefit of choosing partner airlines?
A. The flight provides special service to guests on request.
B. The guests can be given a seat on another airplane.
C. The guests can be transferred during the flight.
D. The airport will make sure the delay time is as short as possible.
63. What does the underlined phrase “shell out” in the passage mean?
A. save       B. earn       C. pay       D. raise
64. To avoid a bad situation, you can do the following EXCEPT .
A. turning to a travel agent
B. joining any club that can provide you with various options
C. choosing the appropriate flight to begin with
D. staying away from late flights
65. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. How to deal with winter travel  effectively.

C. What to do with your own shortcomings in winter.
D. How to get in touch with your airplane company quickly.
