These kinds of parks provide fun and education for tens of thousands of people each year.Amy takes care of many animals in the park, but she also does important research. As she observes the animals that she looks after, she learns more about their needs and behavior. This information helps the animals in the park, but it can also be used to protect other members of the species（物种） in the wild.Its hard work to look after these animals. Their needs often change according to different hours of the day. So Amy must depend on her science knowledge and good number sense to help her make the right decisions all day long.Even though dolphins spend much of their time underwater, they are mammals. This means that they must come to the surface to take in air. Dolphins give birth to their young. Theyre not hatched from eggs. Just like all other mammals, mother dolphins must nurse, or feed milk to their babies.Amy and her team know this firsthand. One of their dolphins recently gave birth. A baby dolphin is not small, either. It was almost 1 meter long the day it was born. A big dolphin usually eats about 4% of its body weight in food every day. Amy knows that a mother dolphin that is nursing needs twice the food. So when the baby dolphin was born, Amy immediately doubled the mothers food every day.（1）What does the underlined word observes in paragraph 2 mean? A . Nurses the young animals.B . Watches something carefully.C . Plays with something.D . Says something about.（2）Why is the information Amy learns very helpful? A . It helps to protect the animals in the park as well as those in the wild.B . It offers fun and education to tens of thousands of people.C . It helps dolphins to feed milk to their babies.D . It helps underwater animals to come to the surface.（3）What does Amy need to make the right decision according to this passage? A . Good eyes and quick mind.B . Love and care for animals.C . Swimming skills and spirit of competition.D . Science knowledge and good number sense.（4）How much food does a 300 kg mother dolphin need every day?

As she approaches, your classmate suddenly raises her eyebrows. What does her facial expression tell you?The human face is an important communication tool. We often express our feelings nonverbally by doing things like smiling or frowning. Sometimes we use facial expressions to add information to something we are saying. Think again about your classmate. As she raised her eyebrows, she probably said, Oh, what a surprise to see you here!”Both her face and words expressed her feelings. However, sometimes our facial expressions do not match our words, especially when we are trying to hide our feelings. If someone says to you, Im fine, but he is looking down and frowning, how do you think he really feels?Facial expressions have different meanings in different cultures. Miscommunications can happen even when two people are speaking the same language. In many cultures, for example, a smile communicates happiness or amusement. In some Asian countries, people also smile when they are embarrassed. Seeing this, a Westerner might be confused and think the Asian person is laughing. In North and South America, and many European cultures, a speaker and listener look at each other directly while talking. In those cultures, looking down or away from a speaker often suggests boredom. In many Asian cultures, looking at someone directly in the eyes while speaking is considered rude.Facial expressions communicate important messages, and can sometimes be more powerful than words. How do people in your culture use them to communicate?（1）The two examples in Paragraph 2 show that _.A . Both face and words can express ones feelingsB . Facial expressions can hide our feelingsC . We can use facial expressions to add information to what we sayD . Facial expression is an important communication tool（2）The underlined word “confused” in Paragraph 3 means _A . “兴奋的”B . “疑惑的”C . “担忧的”D . “有趣的”（3）In most European countries, youd better_.A . do things like smiling or frowning when talkingB . look down or away from a speakerC . have eye contact with listeners or speakersD . raise your eyebrows while speaking（4）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Our expressions can always match our words.B . The people who are speaking the same language may have miscommunications.C . Facial expressions have the same meaning in different cultures.D . Facial expressions show important messages, which can be more powerful than words.三、 词汇运用 (共2题；共20分)6. （10分）根据短文内容及所给提示，补全文中单词或用所给单词的正确形式填空。Bill and Simon were good friends.
