(原创)Dolphins are well known for their intelligence. But it turns out that they can also switch on other senses to figure out a problem, just like humans. A new study indicates that when one of their senses is blocked, they can make decisions to use other senses to imitate a human's movements.

In the first experiment, a bottlenose dolphin named Tanner was blindfolded and instructed to imitate the actions of a trainer in the water with him. When Tanner wasn't able to use sight to figure out the movement, he switched to another technique: send out sounds, listen to the echo and interpret the resulting sound waves. This ability — known as echolocation(回声定位法)— allowed Tanner to mimic movements by the trainer, such as spinning in the water.

The study, conducted at the Dolphin Research Center in the Florida Keys, expands on previous studies looking at how dolphins are able to imitate other dolphins while blindfolded. To see if a change in sound would affect their imitation, researchers used humans instead of dolphins to make the movements in the water.

Dr. Kelly Jaakkola said researchers were surprised by Tanner's use of echolocation. She explained that dolphins must decide when to use echolocation, “and that's problem?solving.”

Ja Mann, a professor of biology who was not involved in the study, said the results were not surprising in that they were consistent with how dolphins act in the ocean. “Of course they would use their echolocation to get more information. Dolphins have to solve problems all the time in the wild.” she said.

In the first experiment, trainer Emily Guarino indicated to Tanner that he was supposed to imitate, and placed plastic eyecups over each eye. Wordlessly, the trainer began to spin in the water with his arms wrapped across his shoulders. Tanner then did a similar spin. After that, researchers tested a dozen behaviors that Tanner already knew, including blowing bubbles underwater, swimming like a shark with the tail — or feet — moving side to side and floating on top of the water. Each behavior was tested twice at random, with and without the blindfold, as researchers recorded echolocation sounds underwater. Tanner was just as accurate at imitating a human — blindfolded or not — as he was at imitating another dolphin.

1. We can learn that dolphins are ______.

A. *** art B. dull

C. aggressive D. mild

2. In the first experiment, Tanner imitated a human's movements by ______.

A. seeing B. touching

C. listening D. *** elling

3. It is likely that dolphins swimming in the ocean use echolocation more ______.

A. at noon B. in the day

C. in the afternoon D. at night

4. The underlined word “mimic” means ______.

A. change B. imitate

C. follow D. refuse

5. In the first experiment, plastic eyecups were placed over Tanner's eyes in order to ______.

A. protect their eyes

B. see the trainer clearly

C. blindfold the dolphin

D. send out sounds

Ⅳ.阅读简答

For Robert Valderzak of Washington, D．C., Tuesday's earthquake was a miracle(奇迹)．

Ever since he fell on Father's Day, 75?year?old Valderzak had suffered severe hearing loss. But after the 5.8 quake, he could hear everything.

Valderzak was visiting the VA Hospital with his son when the quake broke out. “It shook me terribly — right out of the bed，” said Valderzak. “But after that it stopped. And my son talked to me, and I could hear his voice.”

Tests proved Valderzak's great hearing improvement. His doctors think they have a medical explanation for the miracle. “He had hearing loss caused by fluid(积液) in his middle ear，” said Dr. Ross Fletcher at the VA Hospital. “A bination of a drug he was taking and the earthquake event itself likely led to him losing the fluid and gaining back his hearing.” However, Dr. Jennifer Smullen in another hospital said the shaking itself might not have been enough to clear the fluid from Valderzak's inner ear. “But if somebody was shouting loudly when the earthquake happened, sometimes that's enough to clear some fluid out from the ear，” she said.

“It's a plete pleasure because the event was unexpected and brought a lot of joy to him and his family，” said Fletcher.

Valderzak has been a patient at the VA Hospital since it opened in 1967. Valderzak, an old soldier of the Korean and Vietnam wars, still has a_tough_fight ahead of him. He is suffering from cancer. The event has given him the encouragement he needs to fight cancer.
