Reading Comprehension (50 minutes, 30
points)
Directions
: There are 6
passages in this part. Each passage is followed by
some questions or unfinished
statements. For each of them there
are four
choices marked A,
B, C and D. You should decide on the best
choice and write your answer on the
Answer Sheet.
One day in 1963, a
dolphin named Elvar and a famous astronomer, Carl
Sagan, were playing a little
game. The
astronomer was visiting an institute which was
looking into the way dolphins communicate with
1
苏州大学
2019
年博士研究生入学考试英语试题
each other. He was standing
a
t
the edge of
one of the tanks where several of these highly
intelligent,
friendly creatures were
kept. Elvar had just swum up alongside
hiui
,
and had turned on his
back. He wanted
Sagan to scratch his
stomach again, as the astronomer had done twice
before. But this time Elvar was too
deep in the water for Sagan to reach
him. Elvar looked up at Sagan, waiting. Then,
after a minute or so, the
dolphin leapt
up through the water into the air and made a sound
just like the word `More?'
The
astonished astronomer went -to the director of the
institute and told him about the incident.
`Oh, yes: That's one of the words he
knows,' the director said, showing no surprise at
all.
Dolphins have bigger brains in
proportion to their body size than humans have,
andit has been known
for a long time
that they can make a number o? sounds. What is
more, these sounds seem to have different
functions, such as warning
each
other of danger. Sound
travels much faster ,and much further in water
than it
does in air. That is why the
parts of the brain that deal with sound are much
better developed in dolphins than
in
humans. But can it be said that dolphins have a
`language' in the real sense of the word?
Scientists don't
agree on this.
A language is not just a collection of
sounds, or even words. A language has a structure,
or what we call
a grammar. The grammar
of a language helps to give it meaning. For
example, the two questions `Who loves
Mary?' and `Who does Mary love?' mean
different things. If you stop to think about it,
you will see that this
difference
doesn't come from the words in the question but
from the difference in structure. That is why the
question `Can dolphins speak?' can't be
answered until we find out if dolphins not only
make sounds but also
arrange them in
ways which affect their meaning.
71.
The dolphin leapt into the air because
A) Sagan had turned his back
B) it was part of the game they were
playing
C) he wanted Sagan to scratch
him again
D) Sagan wanted him to do
this
72. When Sagan told the director
about what the dolphin had done, the director
A) didn't seem to think it was unusual
B) thought Sagan was joking
1

C) told
Sagan about other words the dolphin knew
D) asked him if he knew other words
73. Dolphins' brains are particularly
well-developed to
A) help them to
travel fast in water
B) arrange sounds
in different structures
C) respond to
different kinds of sound
D) communicate
with humans through sound
74. The
sounds we call words can be called a language only
if
A) each sound has a different
meaning
B) each sound is different from
the other
C) there is a system of
writing
D) they have a structure or
grammar

I suppose, to some people, I'm a failure. After

with his friends to watch a football
game, I felt rejected and talked him
into staying home. I wouldn't accept an offer to
go to a movie or join an
exercise class
it' it meant that Ray would be home alone. I
realize now that we were often angry with each
other
just because we spent too much
time together. In contrast, my second husband and
I spend some of our tree
time apart and
try to have interests of our own. I
