[解析]
(1)D.细节理解题。根据文章第一段But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own,and they live a long time — at least twenty or thirty years. (但是海豚和几乎所有的陆地动物都有很大的不同。它们的大脑几乎和我们的一样大,而且寿命很长——至少有二三十年。)可知,海豚与其他动物的不同之处在于大脑的体积。故选D项。
(2)D.细节理解题。根据文章第二段Like some animals,dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. (和一些动物一样,海豚用声音来帮助它们确定方向。)以及they do not use their ears to receive these sounds,but the lower part of the mouth (它们不是用耳朵来接收这些声音,而是用嘴的下半部分)可知,海豚是通过嘴巴确定方向的。故选D项。
(3)C.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. (1871年至1903年,Jack遇见了这一地区的每一艘船,并给他们指明了方向。)可知,Jack曾经给遇到过的每艘船只带了路,因此可推知,新西兰沿岸的水手寻找Jack是为了让它带路,也就是需要它的帮助。故选C项。
(4)B.推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The penguin shot and wounded Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the area — except for The Penguin. (1903年,一名乘客在一艘名为"企鹅号"的船上开枪打伤了Jack。他康复了,在接下来的9年里继续指导该地区的所有船只——除了企鹅号。)可知,海豚Jack给它遇见的船只带路,除了那艘伤害它的企鹅号,可推知,海豚对人友好并且很聪明。故选B项。
