There are eight species of dolphins in Hawaii. The bottle-nosed dolphin is the most common type of dolphin. This name came from its longer upper and lower jaws. This dolphin is a very loving and friendly animal. There are cases of dolphins that rescue injured divers in the ocean.

In Hawaii, you can experience swimming with dolphins. There

are several companies on Oahu and the Big Island that offer a swim

with these animals in the wild. These kinds of tours usually are

combined with water sports such as snorkel (水下呼吸管) or scuba

diving.

Dolphins are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act and it is against the law to become closer than 50 yards (45 m)to them. But these friendly animals can approach to check you out. You have to consider that if dolphins prefer to keep away, you should not try to swim close to them. If dolphins come close while you are swimming in the ocean, don't attempt to touch them and don't make aggressive or sudden movements.

At the Sea Life Park on Oahu, they have special dolphin programs that allow you to swim and hug dolphins, besides, you'll learn about these mammals' habits. The Dolphin Quest program will explain to you why dolphins are considered one of the most intelligent creatures.

Swimming with dolphins is one of the most attractive activities if you come to Hawaii. But Hawaii's underwater world is amazing and has many other species to watch：Humpback whales，Green sea turtles，Monk seals and so on.

While you get in touch with this underworld，always have in mind the main rule of the ocean respect: Look but don't touch.

The world's stocks of seafood will have collapsed (暴跌) by 2050 at present rates of destruction by fishing, a scientist said. By 2048, to be exact, catches of all the presently fished seafoods will have decreased on average by more than 90 percent since 1950. The study says the loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) cuts down the ability of oceans to feed the world's growing human population — expected to rise by 50 percent to nine billion in 2050.

Over-fishing also destroys the stability of ocean environments largely, reducing the ocean's ability to produce seafood, resist diseases, filter (过滤) pollutants and rebound (回升) from stresses such as climate change. And every species matters when it comes to the ocean's ability to repair itself, says the study.

Dr. Boris Worm, of Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, the lead author, said, “This is what is projected, not predicted, to happen. I am confident we will not go there because we will do something about it. But if this trend continues in this predictable fashion, as it has for the last 50 years, the world's currently fished seafoods will have reached what we define (定义) as collapse by 2048.”

“Every year a higher percentage of the currently fished stocks collapse. We are losing it piece by piece.” Prof Callum Roberts, of the University of York, who was not involv ed in the study, said, “The animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not merely embellishments (装饰) to be

wondered at. They are essential to the health of the oceans and well-being of human society. We need to ban destructive fishing practices and create a network of large-scale marine reserves around not just Britain, but globally. ”

语篇解读：本文阐释了过度捕捞给整个海洋环境造成危害，并呼吁在全球范围内禁止过度捕捞，建立保护网络。

5．According to the passage that all seafood will run out in 2050 will ________.

A．make the sea water much fresher and cleaner

B．make it impossible to support more people with the seafood

C．make the whole animals on land die away

D．make the fishermen have more free time to rest

解析：选B由第一段中的“The study says the loss of biodiversity (生物多样性) cuts down the ability of oceans to feed the world's growing human population — expected to rise by 50 percent to nine billion in 2050.”可知，过度捕捞造成的生物多样性消失最终将使海洋养活不了增长的世界人口。

6．What bad result will over-fishing bring to us?

A．Destroying the stability of ocean environments.

B．Largely reducing the ocean's ability to produce fresh water.

C．Increasing the ocean's ability to filter pollutants.

D．Making the ocean have no more capability to repair itself.

解析：选A由第二段中的“Over-fishing also destroys the stability of ocean environments largely，reducing the ocean's ability ...”可知过度捕捞会破坏海洋环境的稳定性。

7．What is Dr. Boris Worm's idea about the future of the seafood in the world?

A．All seafood will surely run out in 2050.

B．The seafood will become more than now in 2050.

C．Seafoods will not have collapsed if people try their best to protect the ocean.

D．The situation of the seafoods will get much worse than predicted even if people do something about it.

解析：选C由第三段中的“I am confident we will not go there because we will do something about it.”可判断C项正确。

8．How should we do in order to protect the seafood from running out?

A．We should encourage the destructive fishing practices around the world.

B．We should regard the animals and plants that inhabit the sea embellishments to be wondered at.

C．We should create a network of large-range sea reserves around the whole world.

D．We should learn that the animals and plants that inhabit the sea are not necessary to the health of the oceans.

解析：选C由最后一段最后一句“We need to ban destructive fishing practices and create a network of large-scale marine reserves around not just Britain，but globally.”可知，Callum Roberts教授提出了两个解决办法，C项与第二个办法吻合。

There's a new viral music video on the Internet that's getting millions of people dancing and laughing. Psy is a singer who created Gagnam Style, a music video which featured a catchy tune and interesting dance.

The new music video called The Fox (What does the fox say？) has recently gone viral. At 123,000,000 views, it may even catch up to Gagnam Style. The video asks the question, “What does the fox say？” It's a good question. And it seems, at least according to the music video, there is no good answer.

Actors in the video dress up like the animals they're singing about. One of the brothers dresses up like a fox. There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard. The video's appeal is the song's simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌)．The makers of the video never expected the video to do well or even to be taken seriously. In fact, it started out as a joke. The song was written by two brothers from Norway, Vegard and Bard Ylvis ker. The brothers have their own late-night talk show in Norway. They thought the video would be so bad that it would give them something to talk about on their show.

On their website, they say the video was “supposed to entertain a few Norwegians for three minutes — and that's all.” But people started loving it. Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song, you want to listen to it again and again.

The brothers have been guests on some major North American talk shows. They say they're happy about the success of their video, but they know that tomorrow something else could come along and be even bigger.

语篇解读：本文介绍了最近网络上很流行的一首歌：The Fox。具体说明了这首歌的特点、创作缘由以及人们对这首歌的喜好程度。

9．What can be learnt about the music video invented by Psy?

A．It featured the traditional style of Korean music.

B．It was difficult for people to follow.

D．It could make people relax a lot.

解析：选D细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后一句“The video's appeal is the song's simple rhythm and catchy chorus (副歌). ”这首歌的节奏很简单，副歌部分很吸引人。再根据倒数第二段最后一句“Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song，

you want to listen to it again and again.”可知有些人一听到这个令人高兴的音乐就会一遍一遍地再听。说明这首歌让人很放松，人们都想听它。可知，故D项正确。

10．Which of the following best describes the new music video The Fox?

A．It can catch the viewers' heart easily by its amusing tune and dance.

B．It features the same story with the music video Gagnam Style.

C．It answers the question“What does the fox say？”exactly.

D．It has the real animals in the video.

解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段最后一句“Some people say that once you listen to the delightfully silly song，you want to listen to it again and again.”可知有些人一听到这个令人高兴的音乐就会一遍一遍地再听。说明这首歌能够抓住听众的心。故A项正确。

11．It can be inferred from the passage that nowadays most people ________.

A．like to enjoy music with simple and easy style.

B．have difficulty in understanding the viral movie music.

C．are working hard for the advancement of classic music.

D．are tired of many music videos which are popularized through Internet too quickly.

解析：选A推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句“The video's appeal is the song's simple rhythm and catchy chorus(副歌)．”可知这首歌的节奏很简单，说明人们很喜欢这种简单容易的风格的歌。故A项正确。

12．The underlined word “off-guard” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.

A．Annoyed.B．Offended.

C．Unexpected. D．Relaxed.

解析：选C词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“There is a surprising and silly dance in the video that takes the viewer a bit off-guard.”前半句中surprising and silly可知视频中的舞蹈很出人意料也很愚蠢滑稽，让观众想象不到。所以“off-guard”应该与C项unexpected词义一致。

What Exactly Is Cheating?

__1__ For kids, cheating may happen at school, at home, or while playing a sport. If a baseball team is for kids who are 8 or younger, it's cheating for 9-year-old to play on the team and hit home run after home run.

__2__

Cheating can happen in a lot of different ways. Jeff is doing it by sneaking answers to a test, but it's also cheating to break the rules of a game or contest or to pretend something is yours when it isn't. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game or a contest.

Why Kids Cheat?

Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. __3__ Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.

Truth and Consequences.

Many kids feel tempted to cheat once in a while. Most resist and do the work instead. Some kids cheat once and feel so bad that they never do it again. __4__ Unfortunately, some kids start cheating and feel like they can't stop.

Making a Comeback.

There are plenty of reasons why a kid shouldn't cheat, but some kids have already cheated. __5__

Cheating can become a habit, but like other bad habits, a kid can always decide to act better and make better choices. It might help to talk the problem over with a parent, teacher, or counselor. Choosing to play fair and be honest again can help a kid feel relieved and proud.
