21、 When you eat fish, you probably eat it off a plate, using a fork. Well, the dolphins in Shark Bay, Australia, eat their fish from conch（海螺）shells!
Scientists have found some of these bottlenose dolphins（宽吻海豚）using their large beaks to trap fish in shells underwater. Then, carrying the shells to the surface, they shake out the fish into their mouths and eat them. Clearly, using the conch shells allows the dolphins to catch more fish than they would be able to without such a tool. The technique has been called “conching”.
Researchers noticed dolphins engaging in the behavior a handful of times from 2007 to 2009. This dolphin trend seemed to become popular.
Simon Allen, a scientist, was surprised to see the conching technique spreading. "In the lasts four months alone, the research team have seen and photographed the behavior no less than six times, possibly even seven," he said in a press release. He thinks the dolphins may be learning conching from one another.
Dolphins are known to be highly intelligent. The size of their brain is large in proportion（比例）to their body size. Compared with other animals, they have highly developed communication and social skills. This species of dolphin also uses other tools. They will break off pieces of sponges that grow in the ocean, for example, and use them to cover their beaks. This allows them to search for food on the ocean floor without hurting their noses.
Scientists are going to keep trying to catch the dolphins in the act of conching. They hope to see evidence of the dolphins teaching one another the technique. They also want to know how the dolphins get fish in the conch shell. Do they push the fish into the shell with their beaks? Or do they chase the fish into the shell before carrying them up to eat?
However they do it, Allen believes these dolphins to be particularly clever. "I wouldn't be too surprised to find such cunning ploys being adopted by Shark Bay's bottlenose dolphins," he said in statement.
【1】The author develops the first paragraph by ______.
A. telling a story B. making n comparison

【2】The technique "conching" refers to the fact that ______.
A. dolphins eat fish together with shells

【3】According to Allen, the conching technique ______.
A. is spreading among sea animals quickly
B. has just been noticed at most 7 times
C. is sure to be learnt from one another
D. is becoming popular with dolphins
【4】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Dolphins play a trick on each other
B. Dolphins use shells as tools to catch food
C. Dolphins depend on tools to find food
D. Dolphins are the cleverest sea creature
22、Researchers are finding new ways to save snakebite victims.Experts discussed the latest findings during a recent conference.
Scientists in Australia have shown that a chemical called nitric oxide could increase the chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite.The scientists injected rats with a deadly amount of snake venom.Then they rubbed an ointment(软膏)containing nitric oxide on the skin around the injection site.The study found that the rats lived about one-third longer than if nitric oxide had not been used.But the treatment had to be started very quickly.
Dirk van Helden led the research.He says the nitric oxide ointment also showed promise in humans.The study appeared earlier this year in the journal Nature Medicine.Scientists say the findings could help save many lives.A recent study found that poisonous snakes cause as many as ninety-four thousand deaths worldwide each year.But Ulrich Kuch of the Biodiversity and Climate Research Center in Frankfurt,Germany,says that number appears to be low.
Mr Kuch says many deaths could be prohibited if snakebite victims are treated correctly,but they often go to traditional healers or do not seek any help at all.He said,“Sometimes it’s because there is no treatment available—no antivenom(抗蛇毒血清),which is the specific(特殊的)drug to treat snakebites—or health care staff do not know how to treat snakebites,and sometimes its because transportation to get to a health facility is not available or too expensive.
Here is no single antivenom that can be used to treat all snakebites.The antivenom must be specific to the kind of snake that bit the person.In some countries the treatment is costly,while in others there is no such treatment.
【1】What is this passage mainly about?( )
A.Snakebite deaths around the world.
B.Progress in fighting snakebite deaths.
C.Snakebite treatment around the world.
D.The chances of surviving a poisonous snakebite.
【2】After being rubbed an ointment containing nitric oxide,the rats .
A.suffered no pain
B.died immediately
C.lived a little longer
D.started feeling uncomfortable
【3】What does Paragraph 3 suggest?( )
A.The number of deaths caused by snakebites is becoming lower each year.
B.The nitric oxide ointment has saved thousands of people’s lives.
C.It is very important to find an effective way to treat snakebites.
D.The number of deaths caused by snakebites worldwide is low.
【4】What does the underlined word “prohibited” in Paragraph 4 mean?( )
A. caused. B.considered.
C.examined. D.prevented.
【5】What is implied in the last paragraph?( )
A.Antivenom can be made very easily.
B.It’s very important to use the correct antivenom to treat snakebite victims.
C.Antivenom is extremely expensive all over the world.
D.A person bitten by a snake will survive as long as there is antivenom.
23、 Pricing is more than number; it’s series of integrated (综合的) strategies. For most businesses, managers put a great deal of effort into making and marketing their products, but where many fall short is in transforming the value they create into profits.
All too often critical pricing decisions prove ill-considered. Many companies base pricing primarily on their costs, leaving money on the table in the form of hidden profits. In reality they could make more if they focused instead on the value they deliver to customers. Baseball fans are willing to pay over $100 for a ticket stub (票根) for the baseball game in which Cal Ripkin broke Lou Gehrigs’ record of playing 2,160 games in succession. For them, these tickets have a collector’s value which far exceeds the admission cost charged that day to enter the ballpark.
A product’s cost simply represents the floor or minimum price that should be charged. Everything charged above that floor is obtained from the perceived value in the mind of the purchaser. Think about how diverse people are. It would be surprising to find two people who value the same product identically. Value is highly subjective and intensely personal. Thus a clearly inter-linking, data-backed value analysis is the key to developing a worthwhile pricing structure.
Adjusting your price with value and adopting multi-price mindset are the fundamentals of pricing for profits and growth. The traditional search for the perfect price has to be replaced with a multi-price mindset. One price simply is not the best. What is required is a series of strategies to benefit from each customer’s unique valuation of a product. For example, managers in Carribean attractions know vacationers from snow-covered Boston will value their hotel rooms more highly in January than those from sunny Florida. Therefore, they advertise their rooms for $350 a day in Boston newspapers if you ring up and use the promotional code “Boston”. But if you were to use the code “Florida” instead, you might get the same rooms for $250 a day—the price quoted Florida advertisements.

A．The more prices offered, the more profits to be made.
B．Businesses should outweigh pricing over anything else.
C．Customers prefer to buy the same products at different prices.
D．Proper pricing offers a shortcut to generating big new profits.
【4】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?

24、When people ask me what Down Syndrome(唐氏综合症) is, I tell them it’s an extra chromosome(染色体). A doctor would tell you the extra chromosome causes an intellectual disability that makes it harder for me to learn things.
Even though I have Down Syndrome, my life is a lot like yours. I read books and watch TV. I listen to music with my friends. I’m on the swim team and in chorus at school. I think about the future, and I like the one who I’ll marry. And I get along with my sisters---except when they take CDs without asking! I’m a hard worker, a good person, and I care about my friends.
Some of my classes are with typical kids, and some are with kids with learning disabilities. I have an aid who goes with me to my harder classes, like math and biology. She helps me take notes and gives me tips on how I should study for tests. It really helps, but I also challenge myself to do well. For instance, my goal was to be in a typical English class by 12th grade. That’s exactly what happened this year!
It’s true that I don’t learn some things as fast as other people do. But that won’t stop me from trying. I just know that if I work really hard and by myself I can do almost anything.
I can’t change the fact that I have Down Syndrome, but one thing I would change is what people think of me. I’d tell them, “Judge me as a whole person, not just the person you see. Treat me with respect, and accept me for who I am. The most important---just be my friend.”
