II. Read the following text to answer the questions. (5.0 ms)<br />
Dolphins live with the whales in the oceans. But dolphins come much closer to the<br />
shore. They will come as close to the shore as you or I can walk without going<br />
under water. Dolphins have teeth.<br />
Looking at a dolphin you would not think it has a nose, but surprisingly, it<br />
does! They have nostrils called blowholes. Over millions of years of evolution,<br />
whales’and dolphins’ nostrils moved to the top of their head. This allows them to<br />
breath by surfacing instead of them sticking their whole head out of the water.<br />
The first thing a newborn dolphin must do is to go to the surface to breathe.<br />
But the baby cannot swim so its mother and another dolphin will help push the<br />
baby to the surface for its first breath of air. The baby will be able to swim in about<br />
30 minutes.<br />
Dolphins navigate by following the hills and mountains of the ocean floor,<br />
by tracking the sun, by sensing currents, and by tasting the water along the journey.<br />
A dolphin’s sound probably originated in its nasal passages. These nasal<br />
passages are located on the top of the head. Dolphins can make sounds to see what<br />
lies ahead. This sense is called echolocations. The dolphins’ sound waves hit an<br />
object and the echo bounces back./.<br />
