B ★★★★☆
Sperm whles (抹香鯨) talk to each other in (短而尖的聲音) .“There's a lot of debate if culture is exclusive to humans or if you can find it in animals,too,” says Mauricio Cantor,a biologist. Earlier research has suggested that dolphins,birds and a few other wild animals have it too.
Sperm whales can make som? of the deepest dives among all the animals in the sea. They usually swim in small units of 12 or so,moms,grandmas,aunts and friends. These units are part of larger groups of 30 to 300 whales,or a clan (家族) . Individuals in each clan talk to each other using different patterns of clicks. These varying patterns are similar to dialects in human speech. Females do most of the talking.
Cantor and his colleagues wanted to know how the whales got their unique dialects. They recorded the whales’s behavior. Back in their lab,the scientists loaded all of these data into a computer. The research showed that the whales had to learn their dialects from other whales around them.
Scientists refer to this as social learning. a Social ;learning is the foundation(基礎(chǔ)) of culture,” Cantor says. Because sperm whales learn their dialects from their families,there are cultural differences between clans .
Luke Rendell in Scotland points out that the new findings are based on a computer model of how the sperm whale dialects come to be. "Like all models,they may be wrong,but the?v,are also usefill. They may help improve more researchN on cultural processes in non-human societies,” he says.
5. The underlined word “exclusive” in Paragraph 1 means
A. important 'v B. limited
C. meaningful D. common
6. What do we know about sperm whales from Paragraph 2 ?
A. Males talk a lot.
B. They fail to understand each other,
C. They can understand human speech.
D. Each family has its own communicative pattern.
7. How do sperm whales get their dialects?
A. They copy other whales.
B. They are bom with them.
C. They create them themselves.
D. They learn them from visitors.
8. What does Rendell think of the new findings?
A. They are inspiring.
B. They are successful,
C. They are misleading.
D. They are meaningless.

“Big Ed” Pulaski
Fire almost killed me in the summer of 1910. I owe my life to a man whose quick-thinking and bravery while rescuing Jtne and 38 other firefighters made him a legend.
I had been sent to battle wildfires in northern Idaho. Lightning strikes had started the fires,and high winds made them spread in every direction. Then,one afternoon in late August,a windstorm broke over the mountains,and the winds,exploded into one giant firestorm. We had to give up and get out of there.
But none of US knew the mountains. Heavy,dark smoke was turning day into night,and we had no idea what to do.
Then I saw him — Forest Service Ranger Edwjrd “Big Ed” Pulaski. He was on his horse,pushing through the burning, (發(fā)出劈啦聲的) trees,gathering men together as he rode.
“Follow me!” he ordered. “There's an abandoned mineshaft （礦道) nearby. Our only hope is to make it there!” Pulaski gave his horse to a man who couldn’t run,and we began a desperate race for the mineshaft. Trees fell down around US. Flames were everywhere.
Then I noticed that Pulaski had stopped running. I could see him push men into a dark hole on the side of a mountain. Minutes after all of US had scrambled （爬）inside,fire swept over our path.
We were out after hours. It was early morning. Sometime in the night the^ fire had burned itself out. Five of the crew had died during the night. The rest of us survived!
All of us were injured or burned. Pulaski was blind,and his hands were burned. He finally regained his sight. Because of his quick thinking and heroism,I am able to tell this story of our amazing survival.Find the words in the text that fit the following descriptions.
1 . n. a very famous person,especially in a particular field,who is admired by other people (in Paragraph 1)
2. adj. giving little hope of success (in Paragraph 4)
