4 . 听下面两段独白，根据你所听到的内容，用单词补全短文。每段独白读两遍。

The dolphin has been known as man’s best friend. Once a 28-year-old man who went swimming in the Red Sea with a group of dolphins, learnt the hard way just how caring these creatures can be. When the man was suddenly     1     by a shark, they saved him by forming a circle around him and     2     the shark away.

It’s not the first time humans are saved by dolphins and it’s been known for some time that dolphins will do for humans what they do for their own     3    . They are, in fact, the only animals in the world whose brains     4     ours in terms of size, and their     5     to feel emotion continues to attract scientists and doctors.

The only creatures that     6     dolphins, in fact, are sharks and man. We don’t necessarily harm them on     7    , but we catch them in fishing net s and we pollute the water they swim in.     8    , in fact, is one of the dolphins’ greatest problems. So with all the good they do for us, isn’t it time we started caring about them?

5 . Summer isn’t summer without the beach. For millions of Americans, hitting the sand is a time to catch waves, enjoy the sunshine, build sand castles, have picnics, spot wildlife and go exploring.     1    . Here are some tips on how to be a better beachgoer, ensuring your favorite strip of sand remains lively.

Plastic isn’t fantastic.

One of the biggest contributors to beach litter is single-use plastic, such as chip bags, candy wrappers and juice boxes.     2    . Put meals in lunch bags or boxes, and bring drinks in water bottles or thermoses.

    3    .

It doesn’t matter how much time and effort you spent building a sand castle or digging the giant moat (壕沟) around it. If you are on a beach marked as a sea turtle habitat, fill in the moat and knock down the structure. Otherwise, they can die if they fall into a hole and get trapped.

Respect the animals.

The beach isn’t a petting zoo. People who love the creatures of the ocean have a desire to gain amazing experiences with them and have a connection to them, but don’t touch them.     4    .

Read the signs.

Signs posted at the beach aren’t optional reading: they are there to alert you to where you can’t go, what you can’t do, and what you can’t take, so don’t mess with the local ecosystem or its inhabitants.

All the actions above may seem like little gestures, but they will serve as an inspiration to fellow beachgoers.     5    .

A．Destroy what you build.

B．Keep off a turtle habitat.

C．Plastic toys break easily, leaving behind chips and pieces.

D．Work together, and individuals can really make a big difference.

E．Buy food and drinks in bulk and put them in reusable packaging instead.

F．However, all that fun places stress on the coastal environment and the animals that inhabit it.

G．For example, if you take a starfish out of the water, even for 10 seconds, it could choke and die.
