the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel
itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction
that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its
head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water.
Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviours, they are more similar to
humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when
they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their
parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured
members; instead, they cradle them. When whales are in danger, there are people
who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in 1988, when three
young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had
begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the
frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for
them to breathe
through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut
holes in
the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also
serve as
guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
Question 36: Which of the following best describes the main idea of this passage?

A. Successful attempts to rescue whales all over the world .
B. Some remarkable similarities of whales to humans.
C. Whales as the largest, gentlest but vulnerable creatures
D. Whales as the only animals to live in warm water

C. tail and skin
D. skin
and head
Question 38: Where is the whale’s breathing hole located?
A. On its head
B. On its back
C. On its face
D. On its tail
Question 39: According to paragraph 2, the author mentions all of the following to
show that whales “are more similar to humans” EXCEPT _______
A. they do not desert the ill or injured members
B. they do not migrate from cooler to warmer waters
C. they live in family groups and travel in groups
D. the young stay with their parents for almost fifteen years
Question 40: The word “tiny” in paragraph 3 probably means___ .
A. very small
B. very deep
C. very fat
D. very ugly
Question 41: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to______.
A. guides
B. holes
C. the whales

D. warmer
waters
Question 42: According to the passage, why was the frozen ice on the sea surface a
danger to whales?
A. Because they couldn’t swim in icy cold water.
B. Because they couldn’t eat when the weather was too cold.
C. Because whales couldn’t breathe without sufficient oxygen.
D. Because the water was too cold for them as they were warm-blooded.
