    A team of scientists proved that seals (海豹) had a very good sense of hearing. These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds. The seals always began snapping (猛咬) when a strong signal was sounded.

        It' was proved that even a soft signal, a considerable distance away, could make these sea animals respond. That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working, or talks loudly, start thinking.

        The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds. One bell-tone meant food, two bell-tones meant no food. In the beginning, the seals made mistakes when the two-bell tones were sounded. They were, given a light tap after each mistake. The seals were good learners. They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds.

    1．Why was it necessary to use blind seals? Because they ________.

        A. were unable to use sight for clues (线索)

        B. had better hearing

        C. were waiting to be fed

        D. were the only animals to be found

    2．To those seals strong signal meant ________.

        A. snapping

        B. nothing

        C. food

        D. a light tap

    3．The article doesn't say directly but suggests that fishermen usually think ________.

        A. seals have no sense of hearing

        B. seals have good sense of hearing

        C. seals can only recognize bell sounds

        D. seals cannot hear soft and long distant sounds

    4．Light taps were given to those who ________.

        A. expected food

        B. came for food

        C. made mistakes

        D. recognized the sounds

     

    答案：1A2C3D4C
    解析：

    1.　　   因为它们不能用眼睛看。

    2.　　   “These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds.” 根据这句可知，对它们来说，声音就意味着食物。

    3.　　   根据第二段可以进行推测，答案为D。

    4.　　   “They were, given a light tap after each mistake.” 这句为信息句。

    A.  Goods for auction (拍卖) sales
    B.  Definition of bidding
    C.  Way to sell more goods by auction
    D.  Auction sales in history
    E.  Brief introduction to auctions
    F.  Making a larger profit as an auctioneer
    1.____
         Auctions are public sales of goods, conducted by an officially approved auctioneer.He asks the
    crowd assembled in the auctionroom to make offers, or "bids", for the various items on sale.He
    encourages buyers to bid higher figures, and finally names the highest bidder as the buyer of the goods.
    This is called "knocking down" the goods, for the bidding ends when the auctioneer strikes a small
    hammer on a table at which he stands.
    2. _____
         The ancient Roman probably invented sales by auction, and the English word comes from the Latin
    auction, meaning "increasing". The Romans usually sold in this way the goods taken in war.In England
    in the eighteenth centuries, goods were often sold "by the candle": a short candle was lit by the auctioneer, and bids could be made while it stayed alight.
    3. _____
         Practically all goods whose qualities vary are sold by auction.Among these are coffee, skins, wool,
    tea, furs, silk and wines.Auction sales are also usual for land and property, furniture, pictures, rare books, old china and similar works of art.
    4. _____
         An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be sold and where
    and when they can be viewed by potential buyers.If the advertisement cannot give full details, catalogues
    are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together, called a "lot", is usually given a number.The
    auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and continue in the order of numbers: he may wait until he notices
    the fact that certain buyers are in the room and then produce the lots they are likely to be interested in.
    5. _____
         The auctioneer's services are paid for in the form of a percentage of the price the goods are sold for.
    The auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible.He will not
    waste time by starting the bidding too low.He will also play on the opponents among his buyers and
    succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against each other.
