In Shark Bay, Australia, unrelated bottlenose dolphins(瓶鼻海豚 ) have exhibited an extraordinary
behavior— they have been observed teaching each other a novel way to use a tool. This is a behavior that, until
recently, scientists had only witnessed in humans and other great apes. Furthermore, this marks the first known
instance of dolphins passing down such knowledge within the same generation, rather than across generations.
The dolphins engage in a practice known as shelling(脱壳，海豚的捕食方法之一). They chase fish into
abandoned giant snail shells lying on the seabed. After that, they bring these shells to the surface and shake them
with their noses, removing the water and capturing the fish that escape.
“The fact that shelling is socially transmitted among dolphin peers rather than between mother and child sets
an important milestone,” senior study author Michael Krutzen said.
In 2007, Krutzen launched a study of Shark Bay’s dolphins, identifying more than a thousand individual
dolphins over 11 years. During this time, scientists observed shelling 42 times among 19 dolphins. Half of these
events occurred after a marine heatwave in 2011, which may have caused a die-off among giant sea snails, leading
to more shells on the seafloor.
Because of the length of their study, scientists had very detailed knowledge of the individual dolphins’
family histories, ages, sexes and behavior, making it easier for them to study the 19 dolphins that practiced shelling.
For instance, they observed that the dolphins that practised shelling hung out with other shellers, so it’s likely that
they copied from those they spent time with, says study lead author Sonja Wild.
5
{#{QQABIYIQogAoAIJAARhCAwXCCEEQkAGCCCoOABAMoAAAiRNABAA=}#}
The team knew that environmental factors----specifically, whether shelling dolphins did so simply because
they lived in a shell-rich area----could explain this peer-to-peer transmission. A genetic characteristic among a
family group was another possible reason.
So the researchers combined their data on the dolphin sightings, as well as genetic and environmental data,
into a computer model that proposed various ways shelling could be transmitted between dolphins. The model that
supported horizontal (横向的) transmission was the strongest outcome, according to the study.
32．What can we know about bottlenose dolphins from the first paragraph
A．They learn to use tools from humans. B．They get knowledge across generations.
C．They have the ability to teach each other. D．They copy behaviors from great apes.
33．Why does the author mention the die-off among giant sea snails in 2011
A．To explain the natural cycle of sea snail populations.
B．To discuss the impact of climate change on marine life.
C．To highlight the challenges faced by dolphins in finding food.
D．To provide a possible explanation for the increase in shelling behavior.
34．Which of the following about shelling dolphins may the researchers agree with
A．They usually hunt on their own. B．They live around areas rich in shells.
C．Gene plays a definite role in getting shelling skills. D．They acquire shelling skills mainly from peers.
35．What’s the main purpose of the computer model
A．To find out genetic factors in shelling transmission.
B．To further make sure how shelling actually spreads.
C．To explain why shelling only spreads between peers.
D．To look for new possible ways for dolphins to spread shelling.

Dear Jerry,
As for your last letter asking about Traditional Chinese Culture Exhibition successfully held in the city last week, I’m writing to tell you some relevant details.
The exhibition presented collections of artworks, ranging from calligraphy, paper-cuts to ink wash painting and sculpture. What impressed me most were those colorful Chinese knots created by folk artists, and their delicate patterns still conveys good wishes from the past. While visiting, I not only immersed myself in the visual feast, but also gained a deeper insight into Chinese culture.
All in all, this visit did offer me a golden opportunity to completely involved in China’s profound history and splendid culture.

The store owner was quite surprised on hearing the story. “You mean that you found almost twelve thousand dollars and you are here to return it ” he asked. Looking through the records, he found the family’s telephone number. Half an hour later, the family came over to the store. They were still sad about losing their beloved.
