本题问“Alexis对于海豚的新发现就是海豚_________。
”中心词是“Alexis’ new discovery”。
答案在第一段的最后一句，该句大意是“最近，英国海洋生物学家Alexis又有了个惊人的发现，他发现海豚可以通过像人类那样相互呼唤对方的名字来保持联系，这真的出人意料。
”据此，本题答案是D。
[2]A.是非题。
本题问“根据文章，下面哪个说法正确？”是非题解体思路是先浏览选项。
A的意思是“每一只海豚都有一个特有的声音信号来作自己的名字。
”本句话的中心词是“special soundsignal”，答案在第二段的第二句。
该句大意是“这个分析表明当一只海豚和别的海豚交流的时候它总是会用一种特有的声音信号来指代自己。
”据此，A是正确的。
B的大意是“海豚通常随父母起名字。
”C的大意是“海豚可以和小鸟说话。
”D的意思是“每一只海豚的声音都不同。
”根据第二段的第二句，B是错误的。
D在文章中没有提及。
C的中心词是“talk with birds”，答案在第二段的最后一句，该句大意是“而且，海豚还可以互相模仿对方的叫声，就像有时候人类在和小鸟说话时所做的那样。
模仿被认为是动物的叫声进化为语言的重要一步。
”据此，可知C是错误。
[3]B.细节题。
本题问“______被认为是动物的叫声进化为语言的重要一步。
”根据第二段的最后一句，我们知道答案是B（模仿对方的叫声）。
A的意思是“用名字互相称呼”，C的意思是“互相交流”，D的意思是“和小鸟谈话”。
[4]D.细节题。
本题问“海豚在哪些方式上和人类类似？”中心词是“like a human being”。
答案在第一段最后一句和第二段的最后一句，这两句明确提到了B和C。
所以，答案是D。
[5]A.中心思想题。
本题问“本文主要讲的是什么？”这里明显A（关于海豚的一个新发现）最能概括文章大意。
B的意思是“海豚之间如何交谈”，C的意思是“除了人类以外，海豚也可以和小鸟说话”，D的意思是“海豚的语言是如何演变的”。
