A. Read the following article about Dolphin. For questions choose the best answer. / 18p / At the centre of marine studies in Mississippi, a dolphin called Kelly has been causing a lot of excitement among scientists. All the dolphins at the centre are trained to help keep their pools clean. They are taught to pick up any trash that falls into the pool and trade it for a fish when they see a trainer. But Kelly has developed a clever strategy. When a piece of paper is dropped into the water, she hides it under a rock at the bottom of the pool. Then, when she sees a trainer, she tears of a small piece of paper and trades it for a fish. Then she tears off another piece and is rewarded again. She repeats this until there is no paper left. How to measure intelligence in animals ( including human) is a difficult problem. Generally, large brains are associated with higher intelligence. However, large animals also tend to have large brains, and the brain of an adult dolphin is 25% heavier than the brain of an adult human, which could make us conclude that dolphins are more intelligent than humans. A more accurate measurement comes from the ratio of brain size to body size, known as the EQ ( encephalisation quotient ). The EQ of a dolphin like Kelly is about 5,6. If you compare this to an adult human’s EQ of 7.4, you will see that there is not huge difference between them. However, for most scientists, behavior is a better indicator of intelligence, and dolphins who live in the wild exhibit highly intelligent behavior. They live in complex societies and develop a network of relationships with other dolphins within their community. Young males, for example, are known to form groups to go hunting and to play. Dolphins in the Florida Bay area have a very interesting hunting strategy. One of the group swims in a circle around a group of fish and stirs up mud and sand from the ocean floor. The other dolphins wait outside the circle until the mud rises and the fish are trapped. They can only get out if they jump out of the water and straight into the mouths of a waiting dolphins! Such complex behavior requires some form of a communication system. Studies have shown that dolphins communicate with each other using a combination of sounds, touch, and body gestures. They can even comprehend human language at a simple sentence level. Dolphins at a marine laboratory in Hawaii have responded successfully to sentences, such as , “ Touch the frisbee with your tail and then jump over it.” We still have a lot to learn about dolphins. We have only just begun to record their sounds and signals, and still need time to understand their “language.” But one thing seems certain: it is obvious that dolphins are extremely intelligent creatures. 37.

Kelly doesn’t know the strategy which allows her to get more fish. e. the dolphins are fed with dead fish. 40. Why do some of the dolphins in the Florida Bay area circle around and stir up mud and sand from the ocean floor? a. to jump out of the water b .to attract the visitors
