  For ten weeks,in a great house on the island of St Thomas,Doctor Sharp,a famous scientist,tried to teach a six﹣year﹣old dolphin to speak English,Margaret Howe,an experiment helper,would live day and night with Peter,a dolphin.And they would eat,bathe,sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday,with only Saturdays off for Margaret.She lived her 1ife in swimming clothes﹣﹣with a coat on colder evenings﹣﹣﹣and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily.

  After a few days,Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions.He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play.As time went by,he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.

  The problem was that,just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends,the experiment ended and the lab was closed.After a few weeks,Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himse1f by refusing to breathe,and sinking to the bottom of his pool.

  【分析】原文大意:

  十周以来,在圣托马斯岛上的一所大房子里,一位着名的科学家夏普博士试图教一个六岁的海豚说英语,实验助手玛格丽特•豪,日夜都会与彼得相伴,它是一只海豚.他们会从星期日到星期五一起吃,洗,睡,一起玩,只有星期六不在一起.她常年穿着游泳衣,在较冷的夜晚加一件外套,剪短头发使她更容易与彼得接触.

  几天后,彼得对于赢得她的关注变得越来越感兴趣.他把一个球扔在她的浴巾上,让她玩.随着时间的.推移,他只想和她一起打球,而不是自己打球.

  问题是,就在彼得和玛格丽特开始成为两个最好的朋友时,实验结束了,实验室被关闭.几个星期后,玛格丽特收到了悲伤的消息,彼得已经通过拒绝呼吸自杀,沉到了池底.

  海豚可能不会说英语﹣但是,就像人类一样,他们都知道心碎的感觉.

  【解答】38.A,推理判断题.在文中第一段写到"live day and night with Peter,a dolphin"她与peter一起生活,之后a dolphin作为同位语修饰peter,可知peter是一只海豚,所以选择A.

  39.C,推理判断题.文中提到"play together from Sunday to Friday,with only Saturdays off for Margaret"它们俩从周日到周一都在一起,只有周六不在,所以它们俩在一起的时间是一周六天,选择C.

  40.B,推理判断题.文中提到"with only Saturdays off for Margaret",周六Margaret休息不在实验室,所以A错误;最后指出"the lab was closed.After a few weeks,Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himse1f by refusing to breathe,and sinking to the bottom of his pool."实验室关闭,peter自杀并且沉到了池底,所以B正确;文章做后一段写到"Dolphins may not speak English",并不会说英语,所以C错误;D选项文章并没有相关介绍,所以D选项错误.因此选择B.

  41.C,推理判断题.对于A选项,文章中没有相关介绍,排除;文中提到"just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends"她与海豚成为了朋友,可见他们俩关系很好;所以B选项错误;文章最后一句指出"they know all about broken hearts"海豚会心碎,所以有类似人类的感觉,所以C选项正确;文章提到"cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily"实验过程中她把头发剪短了,所以可知并不是实验全程都是短发,之前是长发,所以D选项错误.因此选择C.

  英语阅读理解【2】

  Your brain controls everything you do. It makes it possible for you to think, Learn, create and feel; to blink(眨眼) and breathe and for your heart to heat --this fantastic control center is your brain. It is so amazing that a famous scientist once called it " the most complex(复杂) thing we have yet discovered in our universe".

  Can this small grey organ(器官) , which weighs less than one and a half kilos, really do so much? Amazingly , your brain contains about 100 billion neurons(神经元) -it would take you over 3 ,000 years to count them all. Believe it or not, the activity in your brain never stops. Your neurons create and send more messages than all the phones in the world. And although one neumn creates only a little electricity, all your neurons together can produce enough electricity to power a light bulb (灯泡).

  So exactly how fast does your brain work? Well, imagine this: a bee lands on your foot. Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain at a speed of more than 240 kilometers per hour. Your brain then uses other neurons to send the message back to your foot to shake the bee off quickly. These neurons can send this information at more than 320 kilometers per hour. No computer has your hrain's unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes, ears and other sensory organs.

  But how does your brain allow you to leam things Lhat you will use in the future? The structure (结构) of your brain changes every time you have a new thought, remember or leam something. For example, riding a bike seems impossible at first, but soon you are able to do it. How? As you practice, your brain sends "bike riding" messages again and again Soon, the actions are learnt and you are able to ride a bike easily from then on.

  42. From the passage we know that neurons______________ .

  A. receive messages very slowly B. are only found in your skin

  C. send messages to your brain D. need electricity to work

  43. In Paragraph 3, the writer mentions computers to ______________ .

  A. compare them wich the human brain B. show how fast they have become

  C. say that computers have no abilities D. ask people to use computers more

  44. When you have a new thought, ______________ .

  A. your brain will power a light bulb B. your heart beats faster

  C. you remember something D. the structure of your brain changes

  45. The article is mainly ahout ________________ .

  A all the steps when your brain leams things

  B. what an unbelievable organ the human brain is

  C. how the brain makes people smarter than computers

  D. the things you can do to make your brain work faster

  【解答】42.C. 细节理解题.根据"Your neurons create and send more messages"以及"Neurons in your skin send this information to your brain"可知神经元把信息传送到大脑.故选C.

  43.A.细节理解 题.根 据"No computer has your brain's unbelievable ability to deal with the amount of information coming from your eyes,ears and other sensory organs." 没有电脑能够处理这么大量的来自眼睛,耳朵以及其他感官的信息.主要是用电脑和人脑进行比较.故选A.

  44.D.细节理解题.根据"The structure (结构)of your brain changes every time you have a new thought"可知当有新的想法的时候,大脑的结构就会发生变化.故选D.

  45.B.主旨大意题.本文主要介绍了人的大脑---这个神奇的器官.大脑控制一切,它会让我们思考,学习,创造,感觉,眨眼,呼吸,心跳,科学家把它称为"宇宙中最复杂的东西".故选B.
