The smaller dolphin Grace, shown off a few of her tricks, turning around and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thing about her, however, is that shes even swimming at all. She doesnt 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 , shewas fighting for her life. “Is she going to make it? Her trainer, Abbey Stone, feared the worst. Grace did make it - but her tail didnt. 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 pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.The movement put harmful pressure on Graces 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 wouldnt hurt her.The first time Grace wore the artificial tail. She soon shook it off and let it sink in 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 tail isntnecessary 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 focus 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_.

They are at the center of much of the worlds attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Justimagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologist Christina Villareal, 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, Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followedAlexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visitedAmerica 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 somethingridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why arent 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 publicB. can no longer have their privacy protectedC. spend too much on their public appearanceD. care little about how they have come into fame64. 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 authors attitude toward modern celebrity?A. Sincere.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.DMultitaskingPeople 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-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that manypeople multitask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) andcant focus on one activity. And “those people turn out to be the worst at handling different things, said DavidSanbonmatsu, 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 imperative (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 its going to lead to greater productivity, but because theyre 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 couldnt find out whether people who start out less focusedtoward multitasking or whether peoples recognizing and understanding abilities change as a result of multitasking.The findings do suggest, however, why the sensation-seeker 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 theyre dangerous.67. The research led by Sanbonmatsu indicates that people who multitask_. A. seek high productivity constantlyB. prefer handling different things when getting boredC. are more focused when doing many things at a timeD. have the poorest results in doing various things at the same time68. When Sanbonmatsu and his colleagues conducted their research, they_. A. assessed the multitasking ability of the studentsB. evaluated the academic achievements of the studentsC. analyzed the effects of the participants tricky mental tasksD. measured the changes of the students understanding ability69. According to Sanbonmatsu, people multitask because of their_.A. limited power in calculationB. interests in doing things differently C. inability to concentrate on one task D. impulsive desire to try new things70. From the last paragraph, we can learn that multitaskers usually_.A. drive very skillfullyB. go in for different tasksC. fail to react quickly to potential dangersD. refuse to explain the reasons for their behavior 答案解析 A 篇56【答案】：B【解析】：为第二段主旨题。通过第二段第二句话可知所讨论话题为平安问题，应选B。57【答案】：A【解析】：此题为细节题。考生需要定位选项当中的关键词，再与文中原句进行比拟。A选项可通过Oxygen一词直接定位到文中第三段首句，即为正确答案。B选项为无中生有的选项，全文无对应。C定位sleepy 一词，在第三段第二句话，D定位children and pet 在第二段第二句话，均与文章意思相悖，应选A。58【答案】：D【解析】：此题为词汇题。画线句为此段首句，后面的句子均在解释加热器的特点，由后文中的“wall to wall和“floor to ceiling，以及直接介绍其他加热器的区别的信息，可知evenly 译为均匀的，应选D。59【答案】：A【解析】：此题为主旨题。文章最后一句给出了明确的指示。B篇60【答案】：C【解析】：此题为细节题，考生需要直接定位到文章的具体情节。第二段当中的“Is she going to make it 应当译为“她能不能撑得住，“她能不能活的下来，故答案选C61【答案】：C【解析】：此题为细节题，考生需要直接定位到文章的具体细节。第四段整段是对于给Grace安装尾巴的介绍。此题易混淆选项为B。不选B的原因是，安装尾巴的初衷并非是想让Grace舒服。安装尾巴的原因是因为没有了尾巴的Grace在游泳当中出现了困难，所以要安个尾巴去解决这个问题，使它变舒服只不过是附带的一个结果，故B不对。62【答案】：D【解析】：此题为主旨题。记叙文主旨绝大多数出现在文章最后，本文也不例外。最后一句中的courage是此题的题眼。作者在最后告诉读者本文写作目的，即鼓励人们在逆境中要勇敢要有勇气，故答案为D。C篇63【答案】：B【解析】：此题为细节题。从文章首段重点“paparazzi等词可以看出本文是一篇以明星隐私不能得到良好保护为主题的文章。此题中ACD三个选项都与这个大方向偏离甚远故不能选。64【答案】：B【解析】：此题为主旨题。第三自然段的首句直接给出明确答案，此句译作跟踪明星的现象由来已久，故答案选B。65【答案】：A【解析】：此题为细节题。做此题有两种可行方法。第一，由文章主旨可知，本文是关于明星和媒体关系的文章，准确讲是媒体对于明星生活的影响。故此题答案应与媒体产生关系，否那么此题答案所在的段落便会跑题应选A。第二，相对传统的做法。通过四段首句可知答案在这一段当中出现，第二句的photographer的出现是A选项的直接对应。66【答案】：D【解析】：此题为作者态度题。文章最开始和最后都有表达。最开始作者谈到狗仔队对于明星生活的影响，最后谈到明星们的种种无奈，故答案选D。D篇67【答案】：D【解析】：此题为细节题。此题是一道典型调查研究类文章考察实验结果的题目。D选项为一段尾句的同义改写，故正确。68【答案】：A【解析】：此题为细节题。此题考查的是实验目的。考生可瞬间排除BCD两个选项因为他们和实验目的，multitask的能力毫无关系。调查研究类文章一切实验均会围绕实验假设展开，与之无关的选项可直接排除。69【答案】：C【解析】：此题为细节题，考查实验结果。此题和67题考查思路一样，答案C选项和第一题中的D也有相似之处。准确出处在文章第四段，应选C。70【答案】：C【解析】：此题为细节题，考查实验结果。最后一段当中的“people who are multitasking are generally less sensitive to riskysituation 为正确答案出处，应选C。阅读理解(全国卷大纲版)A Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don't listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn't realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions. I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather. The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot - and my boss - so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, "We need to put the landing gear down now!" That was my first real lesson in the powerof CRM, and I've used it in the operating room ever since.CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn't overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I'm in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they're not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them , someday someone will keep me from landing gear up.56.What dose the author say about doctors in general? A. They like flying by themselves.B. They are unwilling to take advice.C. They pretend to be good pilots.D. They are quick learners of CRM.57.The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_.

In the last paragraph “landing gear up probably means _.A. following flying requirements.B. overreacting to different opinions.C. listening to what fellow doctors sayD. making a mistake that may cost lives59. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.CRM:A New Way to Make Flying Safe
