22、Researchers have long known that dolphins(海豚)can identify each other with signature whistles, the specific calls they use to refer to themselves. Now, a new study shows that the sense of taste allows bottlenose dolphins to identify their friends through urine-liquid waste from their bodies.

Study leader Jason Bruck, from Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas, initially wanted to test whether those signature whistles work similarly to human names. He needed a second way for dolphins to identify each other. To find out if dolphins could associate a whistle with a specific dolphin, Bruck turned to urine. A scientist had previously observed wild dolphins purposefully swimming through each other’s urine, leading Bruck to suspect they were gathering information from it.

Over evolutionary time, bottlenose dolphins have lost their sense of smell but kept a strong sense of taste. For the first part of the experiment, the team presented eight dolphins with urine samples from familiar and unknown individuals, and found that the dolphins spent about three times longer time exploring the familiar urine than the unfamiliar urine, with a few individuals collecting the familiar urine for more than 20 seconds. The dolphins paid little attention to the unfamiliar urine.

Then, for the second part, the researchers tested whether an individual’s whistle and urine were connected in their minds. They paired urine samples with recordings of characteristic screams played on underwater speakers, matched either by the same dolphin that provided the urine or by another animal. It turns out that the dolphins spent more time next to the speaker when the whistles corresponded to the urine sample. This indicates they can recognize each other in more than one way.

Using taste could be beneficial in the open ocean, as dolphins would learn from urine the recent presence of an individual. Given the recognition abilities shown in the study, the researchers think that it is possible that dolphins can also extract other information from urine, such as reproductive status or the use of pheromones(外激素)to influence the behavior of others.

【1】What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A．The swimming style of dolphins.

B．The cause of experimenting with urine.

C．The way of dolphins addressing each other.

D．The similarities between humans and dolphins.

【2】How did the dolphins respond when exposed to a correct urine-whistle pair?

A．They screamed at the speaker.

B．They paid little attention to whistles.

C．They stayed near the speaker longer.

D．They got scared enough to flee the area.

【3】What does “extract” underlined in the last paragraph mean?

A．Process.

B．Confirm.

C．Obtain.

D．Convey.

【4】What does the author intend to tell us about the dolphins?

A．They have a strong sense of hearing.

B．They can recognize their friends by taste.

C．They can form close friendships through sound.

D．They use signature whistles to identify themselves.

23、The history alone creates mystery and awe from fans. The official London residence for the Queen and her family has been in existence since 1837. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ took the throne in 1953. In the summer, the State Rooms in the palace are open to the public for tours. However, much of the Queen’s home is off limits.

It is reported that the palace is 15 times larger than the US President’s residence. The most expensive home in Europe at an estimated 1.5 billion includes 775 rooms.

The Richest YouTube channel recently took viewers on a tour of the ultra-luxurious interior of one of the most famous residences in the world.

The Grand Staircase

The first thing visitors see when walking into the palace is a magnificent, red carpet lined staircase, added by Queen Victoria in 1898. Portraits of the royal family line the walls so visitors can view history as they make their way toward the State Rooms.

The Regency Room

Fans have surely seen this green and gold room with tassel trim sofas, a desk and traditional fireplace. The famous room is often where the Queen’s official photos are taken and the annual Christmas broadcast is filmed.

The 1844 Room

This room is often used to greet special guests and world leaders. With marble columns and gold mirrors, perhaps most notable is the 1820 neoclassical desk against one wall and the blue and gold chairs on either side.

Outside

Of course, a visit to Buckingham Palace wouldn’t be complete without watching the changing of the guard, a tradition beginning in 1911. One more top-secret feature of the palace—the series of tunnels underneath the property. One, reportedly even leads to the House of Parliament.

【1】Which of the following statements is true about the Queen’s palace?

A．The Queen’s family hadn’t been living in the palace until 1953.

B．In the summer, the whole palace is open to visitors.

C．There are 1844 rooms in the palace.

D．The palace is thought to be the most expensive residence in Europe.

【2】Where would Queen often greet the world leaders?

A．In the Grand Staircase.

B．In the Regency Room.

C．In the 1844 Room.

D．In Queen’s garden.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．The Grand Staircase was built by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.

B．The Regency Room is regarded as the most notable room in the palace.

C．It’s a pity that visitors are forbidden to watch the changing of the guard.

D．Visitors might be inaccessible to the tunnels beneath the palace.

24、   As children, we were taught that only by studying hard and getting good results at school could we become successful. But actually, the good boys and good girls may just end up doing a job they are not fond of. Why is it like that? The answer is that what you need for a good and successful life is not really learned at school.

Basically, whether you’re good or not at school very much depends on the teachers’ expectations. But in reality, there are many aspects to take care of aside from the school subjects, for example, what to do to be a happy person, how to maintain a healthy relationship, how to work smartly and what to do to lead a meaningful life, etc.

Doing well at school differs from doing well in life. You may have already known that Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Oprah Winfrey and Jim Carey didn’t perform very well at school. In fact, there are a lot more than just the "big shots "who are successful in life without completing school.

Life is really a long lesson, so long that you can’t define a person’s success by just one section of it. If you have already finished school, keep learning because what you learned at school will never be enough to lead a great life. If you are still studying, whether you are good or bad at school, don’t take your school results too seriously. If you are a parent or a teacher, don’t just focus on the grades the children get. Try to discover their potentials and make the most of their talents. That’s how they build confidence and eventually lead a successful life.

【1】What do we know from the text?

A.Whether to be good students or not depends on students themselves.

B.Good performance at school promises successful life.

C.School subjects are less important than other aspects.

D.Everything needed in life can not be learned at school.

【2】What does the underlined phrase "big shots "in paragraph 3 mean?

A.excellent students B.important persons

C.famous stars D.successful businessmen

【3】Which point of view may the author support?

A.Students must strictly obey school rules.

B.Excellent students will have more opportunities.

C.Teachers should set a good example to students.

D.Parents shouldn’t always focus on their kids grades.

【4】What might be the best title for the text?

A.The Importance of Lifelong Learning

B.The Secret to Being Successful in Life

C.Success at School doesn’t Equal Success in Life

D.What We Need for a Successful Life
