Scientists and marine biologists（海洋生物学家）had something to celebrate last week when two lost humpback whales（座头鲸）returned to the Pacific Ocean. Delta and Dawn—a mother and a baby—had circled the Sacramento Bay area for two weeks before going back to the ocean.
“We all shouted loudly like ‘Yay!’” said Jim Oswald, a spokesman for the Marine Mammal Center. “It’s been really exciting.”
The humpback whales were last spotted on May 29 near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. California. Scientists were sure that the whales swam into open water during the evening of May 29 or early the next morning, since there have been no further sightings of the whales. Even so, boats were sent out to look for them, just in case the whales made another wrong turn.
Officials spent two weeks trying to get the whales to tum back towards the ocean. Biologists played recordings of whale-feeding as well as unfamiliar sounds to try to make the whales head back to the Pacific Ocean.
However, Delta and Dawn gave scientists an unexpected chance to study humpback whales in the wild. Scientists were able to gather sound recordings and watch their behaviors. This is especially exciting because humpback whales are an endangered species. What’s more, scientists don’t usually have the chance to observe them in their natural habitat.
“All those things are very hard to get,” said Oswald, “so what we are doing is filling up the knowledge blank on humpback whales in the wild.” Scientists should be able to use this information to help other lost whales in the future.
1. Jim Oswald was very happy because ________.
A. the whales traveled to Sacramento Bay.

C. the scientists held a great celebration.
D. the lost humpback whales returned to the Pacific Ocean.
2. In order to make the whales go back to the ocean the biologists _______.
A. fed them with other animal

C. played music for them
D. played strange sounds to them
3. What’s the best title for the passage

B. Helping the Lost Whales
C. The Lost Whales Returned
D. Two Whales Were Lost
Ⅱ.七选五
Birth order plays a vital role in deciding the characteristics of a child. And when it comes to the middle child, it certainly plays a huge role. The middle children go through some things can understand. 1
Mostly, middle children have to share a room. 2 They need to share a room with an elder one because they’re too young to sleep alone. And just when they think they’ll finally have a room of their own, a voice is heard saying, “Dear, please share the room with your younger brother, as he’s too small to sleep alone.”
Middle children tend to share clothes with their siblings（兄弟姐妹）. Their cupboard is full of hand-me downs from their elder sibling, and they need to wear his or her clothes. 3 They can always show off their siblings clothes and things at school. Also，they get to their own clothes to their younger sibling.
4 They’re liked by both, because they can relate well to both generations. On one hand they can recall how much fun it was watching Garfield and Friends, and on the other hand they can talk about the latest video game released in the market.
Siblings’ talking is an interesting thing about a middle child. They are not as boring as they appear. 5 Also, thanks to the divided attention at home, middle children are independent and need not rely on anyone.
A. Instead, they are very artistic and creative.
B. But this comes with its own advantage too.
C. Here are some things a middle child can relate to.
D. They rarely enjoy the experience of having their own room.
E. And the dream of having their own room is completely destroyed.
F. They’ re the problem solvers between their elder and younger siblings.
G. As middle kids, they are the bridge between their elder and younger siblings.
1. ________ 2. ________ 3. ________ 4. ________ 5. ________
6. ________ 7. ________ 8. ________ 9. ________ 10. ________
