27、Dolphins are universally regarded as some of the cleverest creatures in the world. In captivity(圈养), they can be trained to complete complex tasks such as jumping through hoops and somersaulting through the air.

But their intelligence doesn’t stop there. In a recent study of cetaceans(鲸目动物)—a group of animals that includes dolphins and whales—researchers created a list of intelligent behaviors observed in 90 different cetacean species, reported the Guardian. For example, the smartest cetaceans hunt in groups, share knowledge through mimicry(模仿) and even care for each other’s children. Some even consider their behavior to be human-like.

“There is the saying that ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ seems to be true for both whales and humans,” Michael Muthukrishna of the London School of Economics, co-author of the study, told the Guardian.

However, cetaceans don’t just use their brain power for survival. The study suggests that dolphins might even gossip. That’s because some species greet each other with specific whistles, just as humans greet each other by name, the Guardian reported. Sometimes, a group of dolphins whistles the “name” of a dolphin that isn’t there. Could they be speaking about their “friend” behind its back?

For the researchers, dolphin small talk is a big deal. As they found that the most social cetaceans also have the largest brains, they argue that cetacean intelligence developed to meet the demands of complex social groups.

Known as the “cultural brain hypothesis(假设),” it had only been used to explain the intelligence of humans and other primates(灵长目动物). The new study aimed to find a common pathway for the evolution of intelligence among biologically different species.

“It is interesting to think that whale and human brains are different in their structure but have brought us to the same patterns in behavior,” Luke Rendell, a biologist at the University of St Andrews, told the Guardian.

Indeed, we still have a lot to learn about our intelligent ocean-dwelling neighbors. “We don’t have to look at other planets to look for aliens,” Muthukrishna told the Guardian, “because we know that underwater there are these amazing species with so many parallels to us in their complex behaviors.”

【1】The possible meaning of the underlined word “gossip” in Para. 4 is ________.

A．singing

B．chatting

C．greeting

D．arguing

【2】The recent study was intended to ________.

A．learn more about intelligent creatures of the sea

B．explain the intelligence of humans and cetaceans

C．create a list of intelligent behaviors of different cetacean species

D．see whether the intelligence of different species evolved in the same way

【3】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．some cetaceans have the same intelligence as human beings

B．it is unnecessary to look for aliens and do research into them

C．both dolphins and whales greet each other with specific whistles

D．both dolphins and whales have a lot in common with humans in behaviors

【4】What is the best title for this passage?

A．Aliens living underwater

B．A study of intelligent dolphins

C．Intelligent creatures of the sea

D．Reasons for the intelligence of sea creatures

28、My mom and my grandpa have been making jam(果酱)every summer for more than 20 years. The jam is sweet ,made from local Okanagan fruit. Not only is it delicious but it also helps me remember my childhood. As kids, we traveled to Salmon Arm, B. C. ,every summer to spend it with my grandpa and grandma. Memories of house-boating, fishing, countless hours in the lake, and of course jam-making remain in all our hearts.

We were never part of making jam, but I remember watching my mom and grandpa carry in fresh berries from the car, and then measure and cook. Only breaking to sleep and eat, they would show up two days later tired, sometimes covered with burns, and proud faces. Although at that time I couldn't tell you how the jam was made, I knew that each jar(瓶)was made with love and care. They never sold the jam at any local markets; they kept some for themselves and the rest was given away to friends and family.

One summer, for some reason, they weren't able to make jam. I remember my mom being really sad and I didn't understand till some years later that making jam with her dad wasn't really about the jam at all. It was an occasion (场合),where she had his undivided attention and he, hers. I don't know what they talked about for all those hours, or if they even talked at all, but any silence was filled with feelings of love and happiness.

Now in my mid-30s, my brother, sister and I have our own children to bring to Salmon Arm every summer, it only for a few days. Much has changed but one thing that has not is the jam. Mom and Grandpa disappear for a couple of days to make it. I feel joy watching my mom and grandpa share this time together. It's a tradition that one day my mom will carry forward with me, and many years from now, I will carry forward with my daughter.

【1】What can best describe the author's childhood?

【2】How did the author feel when she saw her mom being sad?

A．She shared the same feeling.

B．She was unable to understand.

C．She didn't care about it.

D．She felt sorry about it.

【3】What might be the point of making jam?

A．Filling the family with joy and love.

B．Making a good living for the family.

C．Bringing happiness to children.

D．Helping the old family members feel less lonely.

【4】What decision does the author make?

A．To make jam on her own.

B．To learn her mom's attitude to life.

C．To follow the family tradition.

D．To spend more time with her daughter.

29、   No one knows who made the first ice cream. Some people think that water ices and milk ices may have been made by the Chinese between three thousand and a thousand years ago. In that time, the dish reached India. The Indians, in turn, many have passed on the secret to the Arabs and Persians.

Marco Polo, an Italian who travelled widely in the thirteenth century, noted that he found the Chinese had long been making ices out of fruit juices and milk. From the fourteenth century on, ices became popular first in Venice and then throughout Italy.

In 1535, when Catherine de Medeicis left Italy to marry the future King Herry II of France, she took her cooks with her. They made desserts the French had never tasted before, which was ice cream.

At first ice cream was a luxury in France. Only rich people had the money to buy it. Then, in 1660, a young man from Sicily, Francisco Procopio, arrived in Paris. He opened a shop that sold ice cream at prices people could afford. Then his ice cream became more popular that other shops were opened.

About 1640, King Charles introduced ice cream to England and soon ice cream quickly became popular in England too.

31、Recitation

In western cultures, 【1】 eye contact in conversation is necessary. As a matter of fact, a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand close together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.

In many Asian cultures, people avoid eye contact to show respect. It is done when talking with anyone in 【2】 or with anyone older.
