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 year.‎ ‎ Like some other 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 (伤害) 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.‎ ‎34.

And each year in the US, the number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by 5%.‎ ‎ In the next 20 years, many talented people with S&E knowledge will retire, because more than half of them now are in their 40s or older and 30% of them are 55 or older. Therefore, to have enough talented people, universities need to train students in S&E. Yet fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E. In other words, there are not enough new talented people to take the place of the retiring ones, so there will be a gap in the future.‎ ‎ In the past, the US filled this gap with foreign talented people. These people came to the US to study and got their doctorates (博士学位) from American universities. Many of them lived in the US to use their science skills . In 2001, foreign talented people not more than half of the doctorates in S&E in this country. ‎ ‎ But the US can’t only depend on foreign talented people. In order to have more Americans with doctorates that work in jobs in S&E, more students need to go to university. However, even though the US is starting to support science, and middle school students are deciding to become scientists, these students will not finish their studies until 2018 or 2020.‎ ‎38. The number of jobs that need S&E skills increases by _______ each year in the US.‎ ‎ A. 30% B. 5% C. 40% D. 20%‎ ‎39. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT right?‎ ‎ A. In the US many old talented people with S&E knowledge will not retire because they are needed.‎ ‎ B. Universities are training students in S&E to have enough talented people.‎ ‎ C. A lot of foreign talented people lived in the US to use their science skills.‎ ‎ D. Fewer and fewer students are choosing jobs in S&E.‎ ‎40. In the passage the writer thinks that________.‎ ‎ A. all the students should study science at university in the ‎US ‎ B. foreign talented students get less than half of the doctorates in the ‎US ‎ C. the US needs to do something to keep talented people in S&E ‎ D. there are too many people in America that need jobs ‎41. What main point does the writer mainly make in the last paragraph?‎ ‎ A. Foreign talented people will not be used in the US in future.‎ ‎ B. There will be more students to go to university to study in 2018.‎ ‎ C. US people that have doctorates can work in jobs in S&E.‎ ‎ D. There is still a long way to go to fill the gap.‎ ‎(4)‎ ‎ In the tenth grade, I began volunteering at a vet hospital that was run by a family friend in order to get experience for what I thought would be my future job. As it turned out, the experience I got at the hospital taught me the opposite: my future was not in vet medicine. However, there is one particular Saturday morning that taught me something ‎ maybe more important.‎ ‎ The hospital was in the middle of one of the poorer sections of the city and we often had people come in who could just only pay for the most basic treatments. This Saturday a man and his young son, who was probably about 7 years old, walked in with a small cat in a cardboard box. I remember the cat had an eye infection (感染) but the man could not afford to pay for the cost of the medicine in addition to the exam. When he asked where the nearest the animal shelter was, his son cried and started to argue with his father. Out of the blue, an older woman who was sitting in the waiting room stood up, walked up to the counter, and told the man that she would pay for anything that he could not afford. The man thanked her and the son got to keep a healthy cat.‎ ‎ I had always thought it was the right thing to help out a needy person, but it was only seen on TV or in movies. The woman in the vet’s office taught me that these things do happen in real life, and should happen more often. When I am hesitant (犹豫) to help someone who is in need, I remember that woman, and have the courage to do it. Sometimes other people follow. ‎ ‎42. Why did the writer work at the vet hospital?‎ ‎ A. He thought he would work there in the future.‎ B. He wanted to get some skills of treating animals.‎ C. He wanted to get some money for his schooling D. He wanted to get some experience for his future work.‎ ‎43. What is the most important according to the writer?‎ ‎ A. How to be a kind person who helps others. ‎ B. The practical experience of the vet job.‎ ‎ C. How to deal with the owners of pets. D. The knowledge of vet medicine.‎ ‎44. What does the underlined phrase “out of the blue”?‎ ‎ A. Out of order. B. All of a sudden . C. Now and then. D. First of all.‎ ‎45. The ________ made the writer have the courage to help someone in need.‎ ‎ A. The officer B. The boy C. The woman D. The father ‎ 四、词汇应用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）‎ ‎46. The girl walked to school before _________ every morning. (日出)‎ ‎47. It is not _________ hot today. (特别)‎ ‎48.

You will be successful only by practicing. All your friends will be amazed at your performance. With a lot of hard work you can improve your jumps.‎ ‎ The first suggestion you should keep in mind is using a longer approach (助跑). This may cause the most common mistakes. You must be with at least 20 feet behind the bar (起跑线) for getting the time to make a better reaction.‎ ‎ Another important suggestion is to feel good with your running speed. Remember this is not a running competition. Try to make suitable for the speed to your body. Run perpendicularly (直立地) to the bar and do the best you can.

Giving up is not a choice. Do your best and someday you will get the best jumping skills in your friends.‎ Title: How to jump 56 ‎ Topic Your jumps can be 57 with lots of hard work.‎ ‎ 58 ‎ Run from the place which is at least 20 feet behind the bar to 59 the time to react better.‎ Run perpendicularly to the bar and try your best to 60 .‎ Don’t be 61 of your competitors’ faster speed.‎ Doing warm-up exercises can help you get 62 results.‎ ‎ 63 lifting weights before the day you jump to improve your body balance and get 64 muscles.‎ Summary ‎ 65 yourself working hard and someday you’ll have good jump skills.‎ 六、缺词填空（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分）‎ Can you imagine living in the desert for a whole year, watching the a 66 of a group busy ants?
