第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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, 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.

41. Dolphins are different from many other animals because they _____.

A. live in groups B. have large brains

C. are warm-blooded D. have their own language

42. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around?

A. Its nose. B. Its ears. C. Its mouth. D. Its eyes.

43. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?

A. He was lonely and liked to be with people.

B. They enjoyed playing with him.

C. He was seriously wounded.

D. They wanted his help.

44. By telling the story of Jack, the writer wanted to show that _____.

A. dolphins are friendly and clever B. people are cruel to animals

C. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law

45. What does the underlined word “it” in the sentence “From….and showed it the way” in the fourth paragraph refer to?

A. a dolphin B. the Penguin C. every boat D. the sea

B

She’s rarely seen without an elegant handbag on her arm, but the question of what the Queen keeps inside it has long remained a mystery. Now a new book claims to cast light on the contents of the royal matriarch’s main possession.

What’s In The Queen’s Handbag And Other Royal Secrets reveals that though the 81-year-old British monarch(君主)doesn’t carry cash, keys or passport—since she doesn’t own one—her bag is far from empty. Inside are a collection of little presents from her children, a make-up case, some family photos, and a camera sometimes. There’s also an s-shaped metal hook that she places on the dinner table’s edge to hang her bag from so that it doesn’t touch the floor.

Should you ever meet the Queen, it’s not what’s in her bag but what she does with it that should concern you. She uses her bags, of which she has about 200 made by London-based firm Launier, to send signals to her staff.

Before dining with the Queen, a point is made to inform guests that dinner will end in about five minutes after she places her bag on the table top.

On walkabouts, she holds the bag to one side to show she intends to move on, at which point a lady-in-waiting joins the conversation, allowing her to slip away without causing offence.

When at a banquet, if the Queen’s bag is placed on the floor, then it’s a sign that she’s not finding the conversation interesting, and wants nothing more than to escape. However, if the royal bag is dangling happily from the crook of her left arm, she is happy and relaxed.

46. What does the article tell us about the Queen’s handbag?

A. She seldom has it with her. B. She always carries the same handbag.

C. It used to be thought empty. D. Its contents are not the same as ours.

47. When is it necessary for the Queen to convey her intention with her bag?

A. When she is with guests. B. When she eats outside.

C. When she has her staff around. D. When she is tired of speaking.

48. The Queen gives no signal when she________.

A. hangs her bag on the metal hook B. hangs her bag from her left arm

C. places her bag on the floor D. puts her bag on the table top

49. By holding her bag to one side, the Queen shows she wants to______
