阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。

Dolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way 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 years.

Like some 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 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.

1. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _____. A. people are cruel to animals B. dolphins are friendly and clever C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law

2. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _____. A. live in groups B. have their own language C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains

A. They wanted his help. B. They enjoyed playing with him. C. He was seriously wounded.

说理议论（阅读理解）由 (2011新课标全国,B)改编

While small may be beautiful,tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems,particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.

The Tall Persons Club Great Britain(TPCGB),which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall,has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants.Beds that are too small,shower heads that are too low,and restaurant tables with hardly any leg-room all make life difficult for those of above average height,it says.

But it is not just the extra-tall whose needs are not being met.The average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds,doorways,and chairs has remained unchanged.

“The bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it,so even a king-size bed at 6'6″(6 feet and 6 inches)is falling short for 25% of men,while the standard 6'3″ bed caters for less than half of the male population,”said TPCGB president Phil Heinricy,“Seven-foot beds would work fine.”

Similarly,restaurant tables can cause no end of problems.Small tables,which mean the long-legged have to sit a foot or so away from them,are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.

Some have already taken note,however.At Queens Moat Houses’ Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh,6'6″ beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors,particularly Americans.

1.What is the purpose of the TPCGB campaign?( ) A.To provide better services. B.To rebuild hotels and restaurants.

C.To draw public attention to the needs of the tall. D.To attract more people to become its members.

2.Which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to Phil Heinricy?( ) A.7'2″.

B.7'. C.6'6″.

D.6'3″.

3.What may happen to restaurants with small tables?( ) A.They may lose some customers. B.They may start businesses elsewhere.

C.They have to find easy chairs to match the tables. D.They have to provide enough space for the long-legged.

4.What change has already been made in a hotel in Edinburgh?( ) A.Tall people pay more for larger beds.

B.6'6″ beds have taken the place of 6'3″ beds. C.Special rooms are kept for Americans. D.Guest rooms are standardized.

语篇解读:本文为议论文。作者通过简述TPCGB俱乐部的目的,运用具体数字,提出当今高个子人在宾馆、饭店遇到的尴尬事,意在引起全社会对高个子公民的关注。

答案及剖析:1.C 事实细节题。由文中第二段第一句的to campaign for the needs of the tall可知此俱乐部的目的为C项。

2.B 事实细节题。第四段最后一句:七英尺的床就合适。故答案为B项。

3.A 事实细节题。根据第五段可知饭店里的小桌子足以把高个子顾客赶到别处去。

4.B 事实细节题。根据最后一段最后一句话可知在Edinburgh已安放6'6″ 的床作为标准床。 【长难句子分析】

小固然很美,可是大似乎的确让人感到不那么舒服,尤其是涉及住宾馆或者在饭店吃饭这样的事。 本句中有两个状语从句,第二个状语从句when it comes to为固定句式,译为“当涉及……”。

While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altoghter, sliding down the cliff into sea.

Erosion(侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recen years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.
