第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

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.

2

“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. 21. When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ______.

A. physical build B. chance of survival

C. potential ability D.adaptation to the surroundings. 22. A man-made tail is created for Grace to ______.

A. let her recover faster B. make her comfortable

C. help her perform better tricks D. adjust her way of swimming 23. The story of Grace inspires people to ______.

A. stick to their dreams B. treat animals friendly C. face difficulties bravely D. treasure what they have

B

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the

3

companies to their customers.

As a hiring manager, I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates(应试者), so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal. 24. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opinion according to Paragraph 2?

A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.

B. Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace. C. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies. D. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated. 25. What can be inferred from the text?

A. Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. B. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. C. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. D. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates. 26. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Hiring Managers Matter B. Appearances Matter C. Personal Choices Matter D. Employees Matter

27. The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .

A. negative B. Positive C enthusiastic D. sympathetic

C

Bangkok(曼谷) has become the world's top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit Thailand's capital city this year, according to the third annual Global Destination Cities Index released by MasterCard on Monday. Based on data MasterCard collected from governments, central banks, related public agencies and airlines so far this year, the projection (预测) for the entire year says Bangkok is surpassing（超过）London, the previous holder of the top place, by a very narrow margin.

Monday's report marked the first time an Asian city has been projected to be the top-ranked tourist destination. London came in second, with 15.96 million visitors expected in 2013, and Paris, third, with 13.92 million visitors. MasterCard looked at 132 cities.

Other Asian cities that made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013 include Singapore at number four, with 11.75 million visitors; Kuala Lumpur at number eight, with 9.2 million visitors; Hong Kong at number nine, with 8.72 million visitors; Seoul at number 11, with 8.19 million visitors; Shanghai at number 14, with 6.5 million visitors, Tokyo at number 16, with5.8 million visitors, and Taipei, with 5.19 million visitors.

4

The study found that Bangkok is experiencing a large increase in its number of tourists in 2013, up 9.8% from 2009. That compares to New York's increase at 5.0% and London's at 3.8%. Paris, meanwhile, saw a small dip in its number of tourists (negative 0.7%).

Caroline Liedo, who was visiting Bangkok from France, said Thailand has many offerings. “We like culture and the people are so nice. We also love shopping here,” Ms. Liedo said. MasterCard Worldwide's global economic adviser Yuwa Hedrick-Wong cited（引用）overall value for money spent for why Bangkok is attractive. That is true for Thailand overall as well.

28. From the passage we can know that___________.

A. Bangkok defeated London by a wide margin.

B. there are 15.96 million visitors visiting London in 2013. C. Paris is experiencing an increase in its number of tourists. D. London Topped List of World's Tourist Destinations in 2012.

29. How many Asian cities have made it to the Top-20 Global Destination Cities in 2013?

A. Seven. B. Eight. C. Nine. D. Ten. 30. What attracts visitors to Thailand?

A. Culture and natural scenery. B. Culture, people and shopping. C. Shopping and environment. D. People and buildings. 31. What can we know about MasterCard?

A. MasterCard collected data from private agencies. B. MasterCard surveyed 131 cities.

C. It is the third time that MasterCard has released the Index. D. Caroline Liedo was MasterCard’s adviser.

D

A new study has found no evidence that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.

Researchers from the University of Iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). They said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanoma

Most health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the United States.

But questions has been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.

The researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer--- people with fair skin and freckles (雀斑), for example--- are more likely to use sunscreen. As a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.

The studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use,

5

were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study. 32. The underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .

A. faults B. facts C. failures D. evidence 33. People with fair skin and freckles .

A. can be free from the harm of the sun B. often expose themselves to the sun

C. are more in danger of skin cancer D. seldom use sunscreen 34. We can learn from the passage that .

A. sunscreen users get skin cancer more often

B. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in America C. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteers D. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen 35. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?

A. Skin Cancer Caused by Sunscreen B. Skin Cancer Caused by Freckles C. Sunscreen to Prevent Skin Cancer D. Sunscreen to Increase Skin Cancer 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

While serious training is important for all dogs, playtime is just as important. 36 Use these games to help teach your dog how to play.

1.Hide and Seek

Hide and seek isn’t just for kids. Dogs can really enjoy this game. Pick up one of your dog’s favorite toys or treats. Tell your dog to stay. 37 When you are ready, call your dog to come to you. If possible, squeak(使吱吱叫) the toy or shake the treats. Reward your dog with praise and the toy treats when she finds you.

2. Fetch

Many dogs have a natural ability to fetch. Other dogs can be taught how. 38 Play indoors with a soft toy or outdoors in a fenced-in area with a ball or disc. For dogs that really love to run, try this game of fetch!

3. Find the Treat

Dogs have superior senses of smell, and most love to use their noses to find food. Let your dog use her brain and her nose to find hidden goodies. First, have your dog stay out of sight. Then，hide her favorite treats in different places around the room. 39 If help is needed，you can lead her around or point to areas for her to explore.

Whatever the game, safety comes first! Remember to watch your dog for signs of exhaustion or overheating when you are playing. Stop if your dog seems tired or shows signs of anxiety.

40 When other dogs or people are around, it may create a dangerous distraction (分神).

A. A good game of fetch can be played almost anywhere. B. Try different games to see which your dog responds to best. C. You can include games in training as well. D. Also be aware of your surroundings when playing with your dog.
