听力原文: Man has a big brain. He can think and speak. Scientists used to think that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. They now know that animals can learn —dogs, rats, birds —and worms —can learn. So scientists are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. Animals cannot speak. They make noises when they are afraid, or angry, or unhappy. Apes are our nearest cousins. They can understand some things more quickly than human beings, and one or two have learned a few words. But they are still different from us. They cannot join words and make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. They can never think about the past or the future.Language is a wonderful thing. Man has been able to develop civilization because he has language. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five —but no animal learns to speak. How do children learn? Scientists do not really know. What happens when we speak? Scientists do not know. They only know that man can speak because he has a big brain.

Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however. two kinds of animals.come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫)on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot live without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as "dustmen" , taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen(氧气) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
60. Some birds like to sit on a sheep because_____
[ A] they can eat its parasites
[ B ] they enjoy traveling with the sheep
[C] they depend on the sheep for existence
[ D] they find the position most comfortable
The deserts of the world are not uninhabited (not lived by people). People also live outside oases(绿洲), but these people are not farmers. They have camels, goats, donkeys, sheep, etc. These animals can live on the desert plants and do not need much water.
The people of the desert have to move constantly from place to place, or they must always look for grass or desert plants for their animals. They usually live in tents. When there is no more food for their animals, they fold up their tents, put them on their camels and donkeys, and move to another place. In good years, when there is enough food for their animals, they trade their skins and their goats and camel hairs with the people of oases for wheat and fruit. But in bad years, when there is not enough food for their animals, the people of the desert would attack the oases people. But they are also hospitable, no man in the desert would ever refuse to give a stranger food and water.
In the desert______.
A.it rains in spring only
B.there is some rain, but far from enough
C.it rains for a short time every month
D.the rainfall is just enough for the plants
听力原文: Why do people want to save the Whales? There are two important reasons. One reason is that whales help to keep a balance between plants and animals. People have disturbed this balance. People get rid of their wastes by throwing them into the oceans and seas. People's sewage and garbage increase the salt in ocean and sea water. The increased salt helps some plants and some very small animals to grow. These plants and animals can be harmful to fish. Whales eat enormous amount of plants and animals that grow in very salty water. Therefore, whales are very important because they keep the ocean environment clean enough for fish. In addition, because fish provide necessary food for many people, people need whales, and many people want to save them.

A.Because whales keep a balance between plants and animals on land.
B.Because whales eat a lot of fish.
C.Because whales eat large amounts of garbage.
D.Because whales keep oceans clean for fish, and people need fish.
The most common process takes DNA from one cell and puts it in a hollowed-out egg. Chemicals and electricity are then used to encourage the new DNA to fuse with the egg and develop into an embryo. This technique is called nuclear transfer.
The first cloned animal in human history was a sheep called Dolly. It was very important because it was the first mammal to be cloned using DNA taken from an adult cell. Previously, animals had only been cloned using embryo cells, which already have the potential to become complete embryos in their own right. The big breakthrough with Dolly was that a clone was made from an ordinary, adult cell.
When it comes to the question of whether cloned animals are normal and healthy, the answer is YES. Dolly is, but scientists do not yet know whether this is the exception or the rule. Some early evidence suggests that clones may have health problems and that they may age prematurely.
With the birth of Dolly, many people are worried that a human clone may be born soon. It's possible in theory. But the technology of reproductive cloning is still in its very early stages and there is much that scientists do not understand. What's more, human cloning is already banned by law in the United Kingdom. The former President of the United States, Bill Clinton, proposed banning research into producing human clones in the U. S. for five years. Some measures have also been taken to establish international agreements banning live human clones.
What has cloning bypassed?
A.The nuclear transfer.
B.The process of taking DNA
C.The normal reproductive process.
D.The creation of cells.
