Dolphin (海豚) or not a dolphin? That is the question! You see, there are several
types of dolphins. Some are saltwater dolphins while others are river dolphins.
“What are the 32 types of dolphins?” When people are asking the question, they
are actually referring to the saltwater dolphins in oceans and seas. The river dolphins
living in fresh water are not included in these species (物种). But what would be the
answer in this case if we ask, “Dolphin or not a dolphin?” The answer would obviously
be yes. River dolphins still belong to the dolphin family.
Among the 32 types of dolphins, some do not actually wear the word “dolphin” in
their names, such as the tucuxi, while others actually have the word “whale” as part of
their names even if they are not whales but in fact, belong to the dolphin family, for
example, the melon-headed whale and the killer whale. So what would be the answer to
the question “dolphin or not a dolphin?” in these cases? It would be yes. All these
species do belong to the dolphin family.
Another question that people ask is, “Are the sea animals that perform at
aquariums (水族馆) all dolphins?” So, it always seems to come back to the question,
“Dolphin or not a dolphin?” Well the answer is no in this case. The sea animals that
perform there are not all dolphins. The beluga which people tend to think belong to the
dolphin family because they show what seems like a smile, like most dolphins, are in
fact a species of the whale family.
Now that you read these facts about dolphins, you probably realize that certain sea
animals may appear to be part of the dolphin species and that others seem to be part of
the whale family but in either case, it is not obvious and can be surprising when you
identify a sea animal as being a dolphin or not a dolphin. That is the question!
24. Which of the following actually belongs to the whale family?
A. The tucuxi. B. The beluga.
C. The killer whale. D. The melon-headed whale.
25. What do we know about the majority of the dolphins?
A. They perform for audience. B. They appear friendly.
C. They look like whales. D. They live in fresh water.
26. What paragraph could be added about dolphins before the last paragraph if you were
the author?
A. The living area. B. Dolphin training.
C. The eating habits. D. Further identification.
27. This article can be classified as ________.
A. popular science B. literary fiction
C. a news report D. a travel diary
C
We all know what a brain is. A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the
body in the head. It controls our body’s functions, movements, emotions and thoughts.
But a brain can mean so much more.
A brain can also simply be a smart person. If a person is called brainy, he is smart
and intelligent. If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could
say, “He’s the brains in the family.” And if you are the brains behind something, you
are responsible for developing or organizing something. For example, Bill Gates is the
brains behind Microsoft.
Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice. Word experts say the phrase
“brain trust” became popular when Franklin D. Roosevelt first ran for president in 1932.
Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues(问题)facing the U.S.
These professors were called his “brain trust”.
These ways we use the word “brain” all make sense. But other ways we use the
word are not so easy to understand. For example, to understand the next brain
expression, you first need to know the word “drain”. As a verb, to drain means to
remove something by letting it flew away. So a brain drain may sound like a disease
where the brain flows out the ears. But, brain drain is when a country’s most educated
people leave their countries to live in another. The brains are, sort of, draining out of the
country.
However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they
brainstormed it. Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather. It is a process of thinking
creatively about a complex topic. For example, business leaders may use brainstorming
to create new products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems.
If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean. To
brainwash means to make some accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a
forceful or tricky way. Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way.
28. According to the text, if you’re the CEO of Bai Du you can be called .
A. the organ of Bai Du B. the brain drain of Bai Du
C. the brains behind Bai Du D. Bai Du’s brain trust
29. Roosevelt successfully won the election probably because .
A. he got his brain trust B. he got the help of word experts
C. he was smart at giving advice D. he was the brains behind America
30. From the passage, we can infer that .
A. to drain a lake means to fill it with a lot of water
B. brainy and brainwash are never used in a negative way
C. brainstorming is not a good choice for a political leader for lack of creativity
D. a country suffers a “brain drain” when educated people move to other countries
31. The author explains the “brain” expressions by .
A. making comments B. making comparisons
C. using examples D. analyzing origins
D
While most consumers wish to reduce plastic waste, it’s not an easy goal to
achieve. That’s because the cheap and long-lived material is found in almost every daily
necessity. Now, an Indonesian-based company has come up with a delicious solution.
David Christian, the co-founder of Evoware, says after investigating various
materials, the company settled on seaweed. Unlike corn, commonly used for containers,
seaweed does not require water, fertilizers, or large amounts of space. According to
Evoware, as much as 40 tons of seaweed can be grown in an area the size of a baseball
field. Since Indonesian farmers harvest more seaweed than they can sell, it’s easy to
find the material.
The seaweed packaging is safe to consume and can entirely dissolve(溶解)in hot
water. While the eatable wrappers(包装纸)may not have any taste, Dubbed Ello Jello,
the single-use cups invented by Evoware, are available in four tastes—orange, lychee,
peppermint, and green tea. The best part? You can order the powder and make them at
home! Though currently(目前) they cannot stand hot liquids, Evoware is working on
making heat-resistant(耐热的)cups as well.
While the seaweed products seem like a perfect replacement, it’s a hard-sell in
Indonesia. According to Christian, “The awareness and sense of urgency to minimize
the use of single-use plastic is still very low. This makes our bioplastic seem
unnecessary.” Also a factor is the cost, which is higher than using plastic. However,
Evoware believes they can reduce the price once the company moves to mass
production. Hopefully, Evoware will succeed in convincing people worldwide that
switching to their products will go a long way in protecting our beautiful planet.
32. How does seaweed differ from corn?
A. It sells better. B. It’s less expensive.
C. It takes less labor to process. D. It needs less resources to grow.
33. What nature do seaweed wrappers have?
A. They melt in cold water. B. They are easy to break down.
C. They can only be made at home. D. They can resist heat.
34. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Evoware’s current cups B. Plastic containers
C. Heat-resistant cups. D. Eatable packaging.
35. What can we infer from Christian’s words in the last paragraph?
A. The price of plastics will go down.
B. Indonesians care little about the planet.
C. It takes much effort to promote the new product.
D. The seaweed products need much improvement.

为多余选项。
Habits to Be a Highly Effective Student
Some students are able to get straight A’s and at the same time serve as the
president of three clubs. However, some students struggle to keep their GPA
(Grade-Point Average) above a 3.0. 36 Although it’s true that everyone’s IQ is
different, good study habits are very important. Here’re several habits you should adopt
to get good grades.
37 If you haven’t had a planner (规划薄), get one. Many people use their
computers and smartphones to make a schedule. The problem with that approach is that
they are major distractions (分心的事物). Instead, get an old-fashioned paper and pen
planner.
Create a weekly schedule. 38 Include time that will be spent eating, sleeping
and doing anything not related to school work. That way you know exactly how much
you can accomplish each day.
Take frequent, short breaks. Taking a break from studying for 15 minutes every
hour will help keep you refreshed. 39 If you don’t take a break, you may find
yourself daydreaming or even falling asleep. Take some time for some water, a snack or
a quick chat with a friend.
Take care of yourself. During final exam week, it is common for students to fall
behind on sleep and meals. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep and have regular
meals. Studying while hungry or sleepy is ineffective and will slow you down in the
long run. Also try to make time for friends and family. 40
A. Keep things organized.
B. Keep away from your computers.
C. Of course, not everyone needs breaks.
D. Our brains are not meant to work for hours nonstop.
E. Having a good support system will help with all the stress.
F. And they seem to spend all of their time in studying.
G. Then under each day, make a list of things to do each hour.

There is no doubt that the teenagers need to take plenty of physical exercise to
keep fit. Therefore, it is a fact that many students don’t have enough time work out after
school. Instead, they are required to spend most of their time in their lessons. Actually,
if students are too tiring, they have difficulty concentrating on their lessons. How can
they master that the teachers teach them in class? Worse still, they were likely to be in
poor health in the long run.
In my opinion, it is important for teenagers to take enough exercise so that you can
learn more efficiently. So teachers and parents should care less about the students’
physical and mental healthy and growth.
