For the Love of His Human
At 7 weeks, Rocky was given to a boy with problems. Unfortunately, the boy tied the dog and threw him into a
lake. Luckily, the boy’s father saved the dog. However, the next day, the boy tried to make Rocky die again. He took
the dog and held him under water. The dog was saved once more by the father and was returned to the animal
home.
Later, Rocky was given to Rita when he was 10 weeks old. The two were always within reach of each other so
they were called R and R by the family.
Once, when Rita was about to enter a store, two large men rushed out of the door, crying to the shopkeeper, and
nearly knocking Rita over. Rocky rushed forward, putting himself between the girl and the two men. He growled (咆哮)
and the men backed off.
He seemed fearless most of the time. But Rocky’s fear of water was clear when Rita went swimming in a nearby
lake. He would pull back, pace on the shore (岸), and shake.
When he was 3 years old and Rita was 11, she fell off a boardwalk and into the lake facedown. Her body was
not moving. We can never know what went through Rocky’s mind as he stood there watching his keeper, but he
jumped into the water. He swam to Rita, caught her dress, swam back to the shore, and pulled her out.
Rocky’s fear of the water was certain and never became less. He continued to avoid it for the rest of his life, and

Tips to Improve English Listening Skills
As an English learner, is your English listening skill progressing well? If it is still posing a problem, maybe the
following tips can give you some help.
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult task for
almost all leaners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen, and that means as often as
possible.
When you begin to listen, do not translate into your native language. When you translate into your native
language, you are taking the focus of your attention away from the speaker and concentrating (集中注意力) on the
translation process taking place in your brain. Translation leads to a mental (精神的) block in your brain. It sometimes
doesn’t allow you to understand anything at all.
Most of people repeat themselves. Think for a moment about your friends, family, and your teachers. When they
speak in their native tongue, do they repeat themselves? If they are like most people, they probably do. That means
that whenever you listen to someone speaking, it is very likely that they will repeat the information, giving you a
second, third or even fourth chance to understand what has been said.
Use key words or key phrases to help you understand the general (大致的) ideas. If you understand “New York”,
“business trip”, “last year”, you can think that the person is speaking about a business trip to New York last year. This
may seem obvious (明显的，显然的) to you, but remember that understanding the general idea will help you to
understand the detail (细节) as the person continues to speak.
Listen for context. Let’s imagine that your English speaking friend says, “I bought this great tuner at JR’s. It was
really cheap and now I can finally listen to National Public Radiobroadcasts.” You don’t understand what a tuner is,
微信：cs5311742016 主营各地名校期中期末真题卷及小初高全套教材教案讲义知识点总结微信：cs5311742016 主营各地名校期中期末真题卷及小初高全套教材教案讲义知识点总结
and if you focus on the word “tuner” , you might become frustrated. If you think in context, you probably will begin to
understand. For example, bought is the past of buy, listen is no problem and radio is obvious. Now you understand,
he bought something—the tuner—to listen to the radio. A tuner must be a kind of radio. This is a simple example
but it demonstrates what you need to focus on. Not the word that you don’t understand, but the words you do
understand.
27. According to the passage, what is a possible way to understand the general ideas?
A. To know the key information.
B. To get more detailed information.
C. To understand all the information.
D. To remember the repetitive information.
28. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Translating creates a road between the listener and the speaker.
B. It is difficult to get the key information while listening to the materials.
C. It is useless to make a prediction about the words people don’t understand.
D. Saying what has been said again can help people understand the information.
29. The word “demonstrates” in Paragraph 6 probably means “__________” .
A. creates continuously B. shows clearly
C. keeps it a secret of D. studies carelessly on
D
When we think of communication, we usually think not of touch but of speech. This is because language itself
happens primarily over the auditory (听力的，听觉的) channel. Since sound travels more than four times faster in
water (1,480 meters per second) than in air (343 meters per second), it’s no surprise that a huge number of animals
in the ocean also use sound as an efficient means of communication. The low-frequency sounds produced by larger
whales can travel tens of thousands of miles underwater. Many species (物种) of fish use sound for communication.
,
The ocean is full of animals using the auditory channel for communication but this may be changing. Because of
human-made noise, the ocean sounds very different than it did millions of years ago. In our searching for both
understanding and having communication with ocean species, we have become our own worst enemy. Ship noise and
wind farms, all these activities are creating the loud and unpleasant sound in the ocean. Too much noise makes it
difficult for fish to avoid enemies or for whales to hear those low-frequency calls as they now must compete with the
noise of shipping traffic.
Jason Bruck and other researchers have focused their attention on the dolphins communication and the problem
of ocean noise. They are looking at how even seemingly minimal (极小的) amounts of background noise might make

it difficult not only for dolphins to communicate with each other but also to pay long enough attention to learning
new skills.
Paige Stevens is studying the ways in which noise affects dolphins to learn living abilities. Just as we see in
humans, background noise may make it difficult for dolphins to focus on the task at hand. Stevens’ research could
show that it’s getting so loud in the ocean that dolphins might be losing their abilities to think clearly enough to live
a normal life.
Humans feel a strong pull to communicate with ocean animals. And we have enough in common with most
species in terms of (就……而言) shared communication channels to make this possible, even if it’s just a soft touch.
It’s good to want to have communication with our favorite ocean species, but unless we find a way to turn down the
volume, we won’t ever hear what they might want to tell us.
30. What do you know about the sound?
A. Sound travels faster in air than in water.
B. There is little loud sound in the deep ocean.
C. Some ocean animals use sound to communicate.
D. Human-made noise is good for some of the ocean animals.
31. Paige Stevens probably agrees that __________.
A. animals like using language to communicate
B. people make some ocean noise to study the animals
C. people should stop communicating with ocean species
.
D the background noise can keep dolphins from living normally
32. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Living in the Ocean B. From the Ocean to the Land
C. Animal Communication D. Communication in the Deep
33. What is the writer’s main purpose of writing this passage?
A. To tell us some ways to talk to animals.
B. To call on people to reduce noise in the ocean.
.
C To introduce the communication way between human and ocean species.
D. To encourage people to do more researches on communication in the ocean.

Jenny Tough is a runner, cyclist, and adventurer. She has spent much of her life climbing mountains in the
world’s most places, often completely alone. In her recent book, she tells her expeditions and the lessons she’s
learned along the way.
“I see adventure as a creative pursuit(追求), one where I’m inventing challenges(挑战) for myself. They don’t
need to make sense to anyone else. In this case, I started with a goal to run across Kyrgyzstan. No one had ever
done it before, and everyone told me it couldn’t be done. But I went, and I did it, And on that trip, I became the best
of myself but finishing a big project like that left a hole, and I felt pretty depressed(沮丧的) afterward. So I decided
to just keep going.” She said.
She also said that during the journey, so many things happened—some are scary, some are beautiful. We
always have to set a record or we’ve always got to be the best. A thousand people could run across these mountains
and come back with a thousand different stories.
“So many of us grow up in environments where we’re always looked after. Each solo(单独的) trip I took was
a revelation(启示) of my abilities. I’ve gotten myself into some bad situations and I’ve had to think creatively to
get myself out. If I had never put myself through that, I might never have become a truly one who really backs
herself when things get bad.” She also said.
