　　Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:
　　A mother dolphin(海豚) chats with her baby over the telephone! They were in separate tanks connected by a special underwater audio link.” It seemed clear that they knew who they were talking with” says Don White, whose Project Delphis ran the experiment. But what were they saying?
　　Scientists think dolphins “talk” about everything from basic facts like age to their emotional state. “I speculate that they say things like ‘there are some good fish over here,’ or ‘watch out for that shark because he’s hunting.’” says Denise Herzing, who studies dolphins in the Bahamas.
　　Deciphering(译解) “dolphin speak” is also tricky because their language is so dependent on what they’re doing, whether they’re playing, fighting, or going after tasty fish. During fights, for example, dolphins clap(碰撞) their jaws to say “Back off!” But their jaws clap while playing, too as if to show who’s king of the underwater playground.

　　A. their age
　　B. their emotional state
　　C. food sources
　　D. audio link

　　B. Who is playing here!

　　D. Show me who the king is!

　　Questions 16-20 are based on the following passage:
　　An American company has started testing a new program aimed at increasing security. Three workers from CityWatcher.com, a company that provides security came equipment, have volunteered to be electronically monitored. They will have a silicon chip put inside their arms. The tiny device is the size of a grain of rice and will send out radio signals. These will provide information to a central monitoring system that will give the workers access to secure areas of the workplace. The chips were originally designed for medical purposes.
　　Sean Darks, CEO of City Watcher, said the chips were like identity cards. He said the only difference is that they are inserted inside the person’s body. He added they are very different from Global Positioning Satellite technology, which allows people’s location to be monitored. Mr. Darks insisted that they were not dangerous and even decided to have a chip implanted in his own body. However, many people are worried about the issue of privacy. Many believe the technology could be abused and that new laws will have to be made. Mr. Darks said his workers can always choose to have the chips removed.

　　Questions 21-25 are based on the following passage:

　　In fall 2006, the National Basketball Association (NBA) started using basketballs made with synthetic, or manmade, material instead of leather. They made the switch because they wanted every basketball they use to fell and bounce(弹起) the same.

　　However, some players complained right away that the new balls bounced differently and were actually harder to control than the leather ones. Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban asked for help from the Department of physics at the University of Texas, The scientists investigated friction that affects the ability of a player to hold onto a ball. “The greater the friction, the better it will stick to his hand,” explains Horwitz, one of the physicists who worked on the project.

　　Tests on both wet and dry ball showed that while the plastic ball was easier to grip when dry, it had less friction and became much harder to hold onto when wet. That’s because sweating stays on the surface of the synthetic ball but get absorbed into the leather balls—an important detail for sweaty athletes
