【題目】D

For ten weeks, in a great house on the island of St Thomas, Dr John C. Lilly tried to teach a six-year-old dolphin to speak English. Margaret Howe, an experiment(實驗) helper, would live day and night with Peter, a dolphin. And they would eat, bathe, sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday, with only Saturdays off for Margaret. She lived her life in swimming clothes—with a coat on colder evenings —and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily.

After a few days, Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions. He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play. As time went by, he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own.

The problem was that, just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends, the experiment ended and the lab was closed. After a few weeks, Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himself by refusing to breathe (呼吸), and sinking to the bottom of his pool.

Dolphins may not speak English, but just like humans, they know all about broken hearts.

【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀（共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分）

What should you do if there is a fire at school? Do you know how to protect yourself in a large crowd? Every year since 1996, on the last Monday of the last week in March, the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students(全國中小學安全教育日) is held.

This year it falls on March 30. It offers us a chance to learn more about school safety.

A 2010 survey from People’s Daily shows that the worst accidents were results of stampedes(踩踏),fires and traffic.

Experts suggest that right safety measures could avoid 80 percent of these accidents, China Education Daily reported.

When facing an accident, the first and most important rule is to stay calm. But different accidents mean different ways of dealing with them.

A stampede happens in a place where a large crowd is gathered. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves, cover your head with both hands. Lean to one side, curl your body and bend your legs.

When there’s a fire, stay calm and follow teachers’ instructions. Leave the classroom and use a piece of cloth to cover your mouth and nose so that you don’t breathe in smoke.

If you take a school bus on your way home or to school, remember to fasten your seatbelt and not to walk around when the bus is moving. If you walk to school or go by bike, follow traffic rules. Wait for the green traffic lights, and look left and right for cars before you cross the road.

根據(jù)文章內(nèi)容,回答以下問題:

【1】According to a survey from People’s Daily in 2010, what causes the worst accidents ?

____________________________________________________________________

【2】What can you do to keep yourself safe when there is a fire in the classroom?

____________________________________________________________________

【3】How do you usually go home after school? What rules should you follow?
