21、 Dolphins are much more intelligent than humans previously thought. Scientists have recently discovered that bottle-nosed dolphins can recognise themselves in the mirror—much like you and I can!
When you see a zit (青春痘) on your face, what do you do? Go to the mirror time and again, and wonder what it is still doing there. Well, this is exactly what two male bottle-nosed dolphins, Presley and Tab, do as well. So, these lovable animals are not just sailors, friends, but they are also aware of their bodies-almost like humans!
Presley and Tab stay in a pool with reflective glass walls in the New York Aquarium. Researchers noticed that when Presley and Tab saw their own reflections, unlike most other animals, they did not seem to think that they were looking at another dolphin. Dolphins are very social creatures, and are friendly with humans as well as their own kind. This got the researchers thinking. Perhaps the dolphins recognised their own images? So they decided to find it out.
Using special ink, they made marks on different parts of the dolphins’ bodies, changing the place every week. Every time their bodies were marked, the dolphins made more trips to the mirror than usual. If the ink mark was on their belly (腹部), they would expose their belly to the mirror and look at it for a long time. Imagine the dolphins wondering—“Now where did that mark come from? Is it dangerous? I wonder how long it’s going to stay.”
Till now, only the great apes have displayed this quality of recognising their images in the mirror. All other animals have failed this test. The researchers feel that these findings may increase human sensitivity towards dolphins, which are being hunted and killed in great numbers. Dolphin fins (鳍) are considered as deliciousness in several South-East Asian countries.
【1】What is the scientists’ recent finding about dolphins?
A.Dolphins are social creatures friendly with humans.
B.Dolphins are not so intelligent as humans.
C.Dolphins can make correct use of mirror.
D.Dolphins have zits just like humans.
【2】What do most animals regard their images in mirror as?
A.The competitors of them. B.Their own reflections.
C.Their natural enemies. D.Others of their kind.
【3】Why did the dolphins look into mirror more according to the text?
A.To look for their partners.
B.To show their belly.
C.To watch their own beauty.
D.To concern for their safety.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Dolphins—sailors’ friends.
B.Dolphins, reaction to the mirror.
C.Dolphins are smarter than before.
D.Dolphins are cleverer than humans.
22、In our daily life,friends are needed. Everyone likes feeling close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we will feel lonely if we never have a friend.
No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will make up and go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But we call them and write to them. It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.
Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men or women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.
There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. If someone cares about you, you will feel good.
【1】The first paragraph tells us .
A. making friends is a need in people’s life
B. we always need friends around us
C. what the feeling of having no friends is
D. we need to be alone in our life
【2】Which of the following places people name after their friendly people is NOT mentioned (提到) in the passage?

B. They know more about friendship.
C. They take less care of themselves.
D. They care more about their friends.
23、ARNOLD Schwarzenegger is back, once again taking on his iconic killer robot role, the T-800, in August’s new movie Terminator Genisys. While the T-800 model—even if it can be evil—has a fond place in moviegoers’ hearts, the reality of autonomous machines is no joke, according to scientists.
Autonomous weapons use artificial intelligence (AI) to choose targets without human help. They were described as “the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms” in an open letter signed by over 1,000 important technology figures in July. The list included British scientist Stephen Hawking and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak. They asked governments around the world to ban autonomous weapons, warning that killer robots could start ethnic cleansings and an arms race.
“They will look like tanks. They will look like battleships. They will look like jet fighters,” UK robotics professor Noel Sharkey told CNET, a leading technology website.
But unlike these machines, which require a human hand in their action, so-called “killer robots” would have some decision-making abilities and the ability to act on their own.
“If any major military power pushes ahead with AI weapon development, a global arms race is almost inevitable,” said the letter released at the 2015 International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The idea of an automated killing machine was made famous by Schwarzenegger’s first Terminator movie in 1984. While no red-eyed robots have been sent after human beings, the idea of AI being used as a weapon has gotten much more likely in the years ever since. The US military is already developing autonomous flying vehicles that can carry out all the steps of a strike mission without a human controlling them, according to a May report in Nature magazine.
Scientists have even painted a destructive picture of autonomous weapons falling into the hands of terrorists or warlords hoping to carry out ethnic cleansings.
“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” Hawking said to the BBC in 2016.
Authorities are gradually waking up to the risk of robot wars. Last May, for the first time, the United Nations brought governments together to begin talks on autonomous weapons systems.
Still, a ban on autonomous weapons is “easier said than done”, commented The Guardian. The dual (双重的) uses of the AI technology—for harm and for good—is difficult to manage. This is because the exact same technology can be used in a wide range of ways, the paper said.
【1】What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text?
A. To analyze why the T-800 model appeals to moviegoers.
B. To promote Schwarzenegger’s new movie Terminator Genisys.
C. To explore the development and impact of autonomous machines.
D. To show that the technology shown in science fiction can become a reality.
【2】What is the unique characteristic of autonomous weapons?
A. They are able to select targets very quickly and accurately.
B. They are driven by artificial intelligence instead of humans.
C. They are killing machines more powerful than tanks and battleships.
D. They are red-eyed robots able to carry out all kinds of strike missions.
【3】The underlined word “inevitable” in Paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. to be expected B. to be improved
C. to be prevented D. to be controlled
【4】What is scientists’ attitude toward autonomous weapons?
A. They could be used to fight against terrorists in the future.
B. Their decision-making abilities should be further developed.
C. They could bring a huge disaster to the human race if they are not banned.
D. They should replace gunpowder and nuclear arms in future wars.
24、I moved from Chicago to Brooklyn in July of 2010, just in time to watch my mother die. Our parents were both gone now. I took with me as many things they had left behind as I could.
I was out walking one Saturday later that summer when something caught my eye - a pale green dress. Laid out on the pavement was stuff like earrings, glass candle-holders, books. Hanging on the fence behind were a few pairs of jeans and a green cotton dress.
The woman, the host of the stoop (门廊）sale, looked like she was getting rid of a past she didn’t need or want. A dress that was too big for her. A chest of drawers that took up too much space, space she needed, maybe, to heal , recover, or grow.
I wasn’t planning on buying anything really, but now I needed to show her that I appreciated her things and I would give them a safe home. Then I had my first stoop sale —I paid her 20 dollars for her green cotton dress and her blue candle-holder.
From that day on, I became interested in stoop sales. Some of my favorite things are from someone else’s life. I find no joy in shopping at regular stores any more. I love trying to sniff out a memory from a bud vase or a drawer. It is comforting to know that someone has breathed and laughed inside a sweater before me.
A few weeks ago, I carried my mother’s dresses to a friend’s stoop. These were her best items, which were once worn by the most important person in my life. For many hours, I watched from across the path people advancing the stoop, some leaving with Mom1S dress. I used to think that her stuff was as forever sacred (神圣的）as my memory of her, I know now that once I love a scarf or shirt too dearly, it needs to find a new home. Even that green dress is long gone by now.

A. the things the author bought from the woman are too big
B. the author is fond of imagining others’ life experiences
C. the author will never shop at regular stores any more
D. the author still keeps most of her mom’s things
【3】In the last paragraph, the author tries to tell us that ______.
A. her mom is the number one person in her life
B. she didn’t really want to sell her mom’s dresses
C. she still thinks of her mother quite often
D. love doesn’t mean holding on to something tightly
【4】It can be inferred that the author will ______.
A. not sell her own things at stoop sales
B. keep her mom in her mind in another way
C. be sad about all the memory of her mom
D. move to another city for a new life
