To be a top-level gymnast,one must be brave.The beam is probably the most 　46　 for anyone because it’s four inches wide.At the state competition,Lola didn’t fall 　47　 the beam.In fact,she got an 8.1 out of 10—her highest score yet. 
Lola doesn’t want to be 　48　 differently from the other girls on her team.At competitions,the judges don’t know about her vision 　49　.She doesn’t tell them,because she doesn’t think they need to know.Her mom is amazed by her 　50　 attitude.

Tail Spin
Two dolphins race around in a big pool in the Ocean Park.The smaller dolphin Grace,shows off a few of her tricks,turning around and waving hello to the crowd.The most amazing thing about her,however,is that she’s even swimming at all.She doesn’t have a tail.


Grace lost her tail as a baby when she got caught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the Ocean Park in December 2005,she was fighting for her life.“Is she going to make it?” Her trainer,Abbey Stone,feared the worst.Grace did make it—but her tail didn’t.She ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.
Over the past six years,she has learned to swim without her tail.Dolphins swim by moving their flukes and peduncle up and down.Grace taught herself to move another way—like a fish! She pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace’s backbone.So a company offered to create a man-made tail for her.The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn’t hurt her.
The first time Grace wore the artificial tail,she soon shook it off and let it sink to the bottom of the pool.Now,she is still learning to use the tail.Some days she wears it for an hour at a time,others not at all.“The new tail isn’t necessary for her to feel comfortable,” says Stone,“but it helps to keep that range of motion(动作) and build muscles(肌肉).”
Now,the dolphin is about to get an even happier ending.This month,Grace will star in Dolphin Tale,a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery.Her progress has inspired more than just a new movie.Many people travel from near and far to meet her.Seeing Grace swim with her man-made tail gives people so much courage.
60.When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park,her trainer worried about her 　　　. 
A.physical build
B.potential ability
C.chance of survival
D.adaptation to the surroundings
61.A man-made tail is created for Grace to 　　　.

B.make her comfortable
C.adjust her way of swimming
D.help her perform better tricks

C.treasure what they have
D.face difficulties bravely

Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true,today’s stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world’s attention.Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes,cameras ready.Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal,celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names.“Over time,” Villarreal says,“they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century B.C.,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today,however,is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous,there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome,why aren’t all celebrities running away from it?The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still,even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.
63.It can be learned from the passage that stars today 　　　. 
A.are often misunderstood by the public
B.can no longer have their privacy protected
C.spend too much on their public appearance
D.care little about how they have come into fame
64.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
65.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?
A.Availability of modern media.
B.Inadequate social recognition.
C.Lack of favorable chances.
D.Huge population of fans.
66.What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?
A.Sincere.
B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.
D.Sympathetic.

Multitasking
People who multitask all the time may be the worst at doing two things at once,a new research suggests.The findings,based on performances and self-evaluations by about 275 college students,indicate that many people multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity,but because they are easily distracted(分心) and can’t focus on one activity.And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things,” said David Sanbonmatsu,a psychologist at the University of Utah.
Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues gave the students a set of tests and asked them to report how often they multitasked,how good they thought they were at it,and how sensation-seeking(寻求刺激) or impulsive(冲动) they were.They then evaluated the participants’ multitasking ability with a tricky mental task that required the students to do simple mathematical calculations while remembering a set of letters.
Not surprisingly,the scientists said,most people thought they were better than average at multitasking,and those who thought they were better at it were more likely to report using a cellphone while driving or viewing multiple kinds of media at once.But those who frequently deal with many things at the same time were found to perform the worst at the actual multitasking test.They also were more likely to admit to sensation-seeking and impulsive behavior,which connects with how easily people get bored and distracted.
“People multitask not because it’s going to lead to greater productivity,but because they’re distractible,and they get sucked into things that are not as important,” Sanbonmatsu said.
Adam Gazzaley,a researcher at the University of California,San Francisco,who was not a member of the research group,said one limitation of the study was that it couldn’t find out whether people who start out less focused tend toward multitasking or whether people’s recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.
The findings do suggest,however,why the sensation-seekers who multitask the most may enjoy risky distracted driving.“People who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to risky situations,” said Paul Atchley,another researcher not in the group.“This may partly explain why people go in for these situations even though they’re dangerous.”
67.The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask 　　　. 
A.seek high productivity constantly
B.prefer handling different things when getting bored
C.are more focused when doing many things at a time
D.have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time
68.When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research,they 　　　. 
A.assessed the multitasking ability of the students
B.evaluated the academic achievements of the students
C.analyzed the effects of the participants’ tricky mental tasks
D.measured the changes of the students’ understanding ability
69.According to Sanbonmatsu,people multitask because of their 　　　. 
A.limited power in calculation
B.interests in doing things differently
C.inability to concentrate on one task
D.impulsive desire to try new things
70.From the last paragraph,we can learn that multitaskers usually 　　　. 
A.drive very skillfully
B.go in for difficult tasks
C.fail to react quickly to potential dangers
D.refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior

Urbanization
Until relatively recently,the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city.The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.　71　 In fact,nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural(乡村的) villages.It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living. 
Britain was only the beginning.　72　 The process of urbanization—the migration(迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization,which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live. 
In 1990,fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas.Today,over 82% of Americans live in cities.Only about 2% live on farms.　73　. 
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized.Even in advanced agricultural societies,it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities.　74　 Until modern times,those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants,laborers and professionals who served them.Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city. 
Over the past two centuries,the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country.　75　 Today,instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people,one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers. 
A.That kept cities very small.
B.The rest live in small towns.
C.The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D.Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E.But even 200 years ago,only a few people could live in cities.
F.Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G.Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

16.Cyril/CYRIL　17.Street/St.　18.74829356　19.large　20.cash
21.D　考查非谓语动词。句意:做志愿者工作给你一个改变生活的机会,包括你自己的生活。名词chance后面通常用动词不定式作后置定语。
22.A　考查并列连词。句意:在关掉所有程序之前不要关闭电脑,否则你可能会遇到问题。or在此处意为“否则;要不然”。and “和;与”;but “但是”;so “因此;所以”。
23.C　考查动词的时态。句意:在过去的这些年里,莎士比亚的戏剧《哈姆雷特》至少被拍成了十部不同的电影。根据时间状语over the past years可知,此处应用现在完成时。
24.B　考查非谓语动词。句意:她发现这门课程很难,决定转学难度小一些的课程。主语she与动词find之间是主动关系,所以用现在分词形式作原因状语。
25.B　考查动词的时态。根据下文“不会的,瑞士航空公司的班机通常很准时”可判断,第一句表示“你觉得爸爸妈妈(乘坐的飞机)将会晚点吗”,所以用一般将来时。
26.C　考查介词辨析。句意:我与史密斯医生有一个约会,但是我需要改一下。have an appointment with sb.是固定搭配,意为“与某人有个约会”。
27.D　考查定语从句。句意:很多国家正在建立国家公园,在这里动植物可以得到保护。where引导的定语从句修饰national parks,where在从句中作地点状语。
28.B　考查动词的时态。句意:快点儿!马克和卡罗尔正在等我们呢。根据“Hurry up!”可知,此处描述正在发生或存在的动作或状态,所以用现在进行时。
29.D　考查非谓语动词。句意:看到道路被大雪堵塞了,我们决定在家中度过这个假期。the road与block之间存在被动关系,所以用过去分词形式作宾语补足语。
30.A　考查状语从句。句意:度假时我随身带着驾照,以免我想租辆车。in case在此处意为“假使;以防(万一)”。even if “即使,虽然”;ever since “从那时起”;if only “要是……多好;但愿”。
31.B　考查名词性从句。句意:使这本书非同寻常的是这位作家创造性的想象力。what在此处引导主语从句,并在从句中作主语。
32.C　考查动词的时态和语态。根据句意可知,applicants与interview之间存在被动关系,排除A项和B项;此处介绍的是一般程序,并不强调正在被面试,排除D项。
33.C　考查名词性从句。句意:专家们认为,只有当必需的时候才去购物可以减少人们对食物的浪费。believe后面的宾语从句不缺少任何成分,所以用that引导。
34.D　考查虚拟语气。句意:如果我们早点儿预订一张桌子,我们就不用站在这儿排队了。if条件句描述的情况与过去事实相反,所以用过去完成时。
35.A　考查情态动词。根据前面的I don’t know可知,虽然第一个人建议对方不必带雨伞,但第二个人不能确定是否下雨,所以选择might,表示“也许会下雨呢”。
【语篇导读】小姑娘洛拉一出生就有严重的视力缺陷,但她无所畏惧,喜欢挑战困难。她从三岁就开始学习体操,目前已经成为一名优秀的运动员。赛场上,裁判员们根本不知道她有视力问题,她不希望自己被区别对待。
36.C　根据前面的目的状语To perfect her skills以及下文出现的时间数据可判断,为了完善自己的技能,洛拉每天训练四个小时。
37.A　根据下文内容可知,洛拉具有严重的视力问题,正是因为这样,她取得这个名次是非常了不起的事情。
38.A　洛拉的视力有严重的问题,她看东西总是出现重影,因此她无法准确判断物体的距离。
39.D　根据下文在洛拉只有三岁时妈妈就给她报名参加体操训练可判断,妈妈在女儿很小的时候就注意到女儿的特点和优势。
40.B　上文提到洛拉视力问题严重,所以此处表示“尽管她不能很好地看清事物,但是她无所畏惧”。
41.B　根据常识可知,gymnastics属于一项体育运动,所以选择sport,表示洛拉热爱这项运动,体操成为她的最爱。
42.C　根据常理可知,对于视力有着严重缺陷的洛拉来说,学习体操肯定比其他一些队员要困难得多,但她从不放弃。
43.D　上文提到的视力问题显然属于身体状况方面的问题,但洛拉不让自身的状况阻止自己做任何想做的事情。
44.C　根据下文内容可知,平衡木对洛拉来说是最大的挑战。
45.D　上文提到,在平衡木上训练时,洛拉有时甚至闭上眼睛。因为视觉不能正常发挥作用,她只有信赖自己的感觉。
46.A　根据下文because it’s four inches wide可知,在只有四英寸宽的平衡木上训练对于任何人来说都是极为可怕的事情。
47.C　根据常识可知,在平衡木上表演最容易失误的一个方面就是从平衡木上掉下来。但是在全国比赛中,洛拉没有出现这种失误。fall off “跌落”。
48.B　根据下文内容可知,赛场上的裁判们根本不知道洛拉有严重的视力问题,可见洛拉不希望自己被区别对待。
