Question

16．Many people say dolphins are very intelligent．They seem to be able to think，understand，and learn things quickly．But are they smart like humans or more than cats or dogs？Dolphins use their brains differently from people．But scientists say dolphin intelligence and human intelligence are similar in some ways．How？
l  Fact 1：Talk to me
    Like humans，every dolphin has its own"name"．The name is a special whistle．Each dolphin chooses a specific whistle for itself，usually by its first birthday．Actually，scientists think dolphins，like people，"talk"to each other about a lot of things，such as their age，their feelings，or finding food．And，like humans，dolphins use a system of sounds and body language to communicate．But understanding their conversations is not easy for humans．No one speaks"dolphin"yet，but some scientists are trying to learn．
l  Fact 2：Let's play
    Dolphins are also social animals．They live in groups，and they often join others from different groups to play games and have fun--just like people．In fact，playing together is something only intelligent animals do．
l  Fact 3：Fishermen's helper
    Dolphins and humans are similar in another way：both make plans to get something they want．In the seas of southern Brazil，for example，dolphins use an interesting strategy to get food．When fish are near a boat，dolphins show signs to the fishermen to put their nets in the water．Using this method，the men can catch a lot of fish．What is the advantage for the dolphins in doing so？They get to eat some of the fish．

点评 阅读广告应用文时，应该在整体把握文章结构的前提下，主要注意细节信息．细节题题干都是相应原文的变形（如同义改写、词性转换等），因此要找到答案一定要找到题干在原文中的出处，再把原文和选项相比较．做题时，根据所提问题用寻读、跳读的方法可达到事半功倍的效果．同时，在阅读时也要特别注意文中以粗体、大写、下划线等方式加以提示的文字，因为这很有可能是文章的核心或某一部分内容的概括．具体答题策略如下：
1、先题后文：
先读试题，了解考点；明确目的，快速捕捉，获取信息．
2、题干定向：
根据题干关键词到文中定位答案范围，按照题目顺序依次而下：问题与材料相同：对号入座；问题与原文相同：同义替换、归纳事实等．
3、生词模糊：
遇到生词；如无关答题，直接跳过；涉及答题，则根据语境、构词法等猜词．
4、信息补全：
对于影响理解的省略句，可根据语境，将其补全．
