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 c

25、aught up in a fish trap.When the dolphin arrived at the OceanPark in December 2005, 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

26、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 G

27、races 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 s

28、till learning to use the tail. Some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “The tail isnt 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

32、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. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.According to psychologi

33、st 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,

34、 “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 visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readin

35、gs 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

36、 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

37、 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 pl

38、ace.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.

The findings, based on performances and self-evaluation by about 275 college students, indicate that many people mul

42、titask not out of a desire to increase productivity, but because they are easily distracted (分心) and cant 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 ga

43、ve 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

44、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

45、 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.“P

46、eople 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 theresearch group,

47、said one limitation of the study was that it couldnt find out whether people who start out lessfocusedtoward 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 ma

48、y 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.

56、 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 I

61、翻译成“在过去的几年中”，但实际上还是指从过去截至到现在，也应该用现在完成时。24【答案】B【解析】题干中已有decided谓语动词，故A选项find动词谓语形式不能入选；D选线found是done的形式，表被动，也不对；C选项to find位于句首表目的，翻译成“为了”，意思不对，所以选B选项ing形式，表示伴随。25【答案】B【解析】根据句意可以轻松选出will，此题属于简单题。26【答案】C【解析】have an appointment with与某人预约。27【答案】D【解析】考查定语从句，从句完整且修改的是地点，故选where。28【答案】B【解析】本题有较强的语境，Hurry up

62、体现出别人正在等你，所以选B。其他选项均不恰当。29【答案】D【解析】block意思为“封阻、拦阻”，及物动词，公路是被雪封阻了，所以只能D选项done的形式是被动，其他选项均为主动。30【答案】A【解析】in case以防，even if即使，eversince自从那时，if only如果就好了，根据句意选A。31【答案】B【解析】考查名词性从句，从句makes前缺少主语，故选what，本题目属于简单题。32【答案】C【解析】考查时态语态，首先是被采访，所以只能选C和D，根据句意判断，没有“正在被采访”的意思，所以排除D，选C。记住：进行时表动作正在进行一般都很形象，上下文语境中通常有标志性

63、词，如hurry up、look、listen等，再者就是用进行来表示语气情感加强，如麦当劳的广告语“Im loving it”，译为“我就喜欢”。33【答案】C【解析】考查宾语从句，从句完整意思完整，填that，该题目属于送分题。34【答案】D【解析】考查虚拟语气。首先判断是虚拟，排除所有现在时态A和C，根据句意得知说的是过去的事情，所以选D过去完成时，本题简单，但对于完全不懂虚拟且不会翻译错综时间的同学也有一定难度。35【答案】A【解析】考查情态动词。might有可能、可能会，语气弱；need需要；would当时会，用于虚拟或过去将来时态；should应该或应该会，语气较强。通过语境和“I dont know”判断出语气较弱，故选might。第二节：完形填空36【答案】C train【解析】通过翻译，可
