12、increase of peoples income. After all, it can cost a large amount of money to have this kind of holiday experience. So tour operators try to place eager swimmers as near as possible to the dolphins by trying to predict where the dolphins will be.Research has shown that while dolphins can move away i

13、f they do not want to interact (交流） with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same exten

14、t.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most

15、 likely to interact; they do seem curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see humans as “entertainment” and that the interaction is a new and unusual experience for them.It is frequently asked whether “swim-with-dolphins” tourism should be discontinued. The advice is that dolphins

16、should be given enough periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves (幼崽） present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaigns about the creatures a

17、nd what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot fulfill their lifelong dreams because the dolphins are resting, or that a mother dolphin and calf are in the area. But if we are to enjoy these remarkable animals and not just use them for our entertainme

18、nt, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide.1、What makes “swim-with-dolphins” tourism popular?AThe local governments encouragement.BThe improvement of peoples living standard.CThe increasing number of tourists.DThe high profits of the industry.2、Why are young dolph

19、ins more likely to swim with humans?AThey do this out of curiosity.BThey like humans better.CThey are less sensitive.DThey prefer new things by nature.3、What does the author suggest the “swim-with-dolphins” industry do in Paragraph 4?AMake people know the hidden threat to dolphins.BStrictly limit th

20、e expansion of the industry.CAvoid interaction with young dolphins.DExpose dolphins to tourists only in the daytime.4、What is the authors attitude toward “swim-with-dolphins”?ANegative.BCautious.CSupportive.DOptimistic.22（8分）With an improved economy, many travelers have been buying first and busines

21、s class seats, leaving fewer for upgrades (改善) . Here are some strategies for scoring a free upgrade.1. Fly a lot.This is the most common way to earn a free upgrade. Most airlines reserve some space for travelers who fly at least 25,000 miles per year. Five years ago, this meant half or more of dome

22、stic (國內(nèi)的) first class travelers sat up front for free. But now, airlines are selling more high price seats, so on popular routes it is not unusual for more than 40 travelers to compete for one or two upgrades. But on routes with fewer business travelers free upgrades remain more plentiful.2. Use mi

23、les.If youre not a frequent travelers but still have some miles banked, you may be able to use them for an upgrade. Be careful, though, as many airlines now ask not just for miles but also a cash co-pay. One example: On flights to Europe, American Airlines charges 25,000 miles, plus $350, for a one-

24、way upgrade from discounted economy to business class. For most domestic upgrades, American wants 15,000 miles plus $75.3. Get lucky.Sometimes airlines overbook coach, and a few travelers get no seats, only because no seats remain in back. Agents try to ensure the airlines most loyal travelers get t

25、he nod. Sometimes Agents usually have some flexibility to make sure the plane is full and takes off on time. So its the easiest way for them to do it they might upgrade someone else out of order.4. Save a life.Flight attendants dont usually upgrade passengers, even when empty seats remain. Doctors a

26、nd nurses who answer an emergency call are sometimes an exception. If they comfort a passenger, flight attendants might allow them to sit in business or first class for the rest of the flight.1、What might be the best topic for the passage?AThe best ways to get upgraded to first class.BHow to get on

27、the flight safely and on time.CThe best ways to get free flight tickets.DHow to save a life on a plane quickly.2、Who can have the chance to get a free upgrade?AThe person who always obeys the rules on the flight.BThe person who saves the plane immediately and safely.CThe person who is a friend of th

28、e flight attendants.DThe person who travels for a long time and long distance by plane.3、Why might medical personnel be allowed to sit in business or first class sometimes?ABecause they would like to talk with flight attendants kindly.BBecause they want to have a complete rest after a long journey.C

29、Because they need to treat passengers who are in emergent condition.DBecause they are tired of staying with common passengers.4、Where can we find the passage?AA life guide. BA travel guide.CA shopping guide. DA pilot guide.23（8分）When Sabrina Vega was 5 years old, a friend invited her to a party held

30、 at a gym where Sabrina discovered that she loved doing gymnastics.A few nights after the party, Sabrina had a dream. She told her mother, Jahira, about the dream.

So Jahira and David decided to pay for Sabrina to learn gymnastics.So Sabrina started to train at a special and competitive gym. Though only 7 years old, she was already training to co

32、mpete at a high level. The years passed quickly. Sabrina got better and better. By the time she was 12 years old, Sabrina was training so many hours each day that she did not have time to do things that many other Americans of an age did.When Sabrina was 13, she had a chance to compete in a national

During the course of this program a soldier received a letter from a woman he didnt know and had never met. She asked him the typical thi

38、ngs and he wrote a return letter with the typical answers.As their letters became more frequent they realized that they had much in common and a friendship was formed. Though the ever0increasing letters they came to know each other more and be looked forward to them as he moved ever forward into com

39、bat and danger. Over time their friendship began to blossom into love, but they never exchanged photos.Eventually the war ended. He told her he was coming home and they made a plan to meet at Grand Central Station. He would look like countless other soldiers so he told her he would hold a bouquet of

40、 carnations（康乃馨）and she said she would be carrying a particular book. If their love was real they could meet.At the station he was eagerly searching for the book in the hands of every woman he met. Shortly after, a short, plain and overweight woman appeared carrying a book. He knew it was her. His e

41、xcitement for meeting the love of his life dashed away. But he put a big smile on his face and called her name. She smiled and came over to him. He bent to kiss her cheek, but she pushed him off. Instead she handed him the book and walked off. Confused, he suddenly turned around and a beautiful woma

Rowling is the author of the most successful book series in history,

45、but her attempt to take on a new career as a screenwriter hasnt been as smooth as she may have thought it would be. The sequel(續(xù)篇), “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, shows that even the most successful author in the world is in need of checks and balances when making the transition to c

46、inema.Following the sale of half a billion copies of the Harry Potter series, Rowling is working hard to extend and enrich the mythology she created around the child wizard. In contrast to the eight Harry Potter movies, which were based on the seven books and most of which were written by experience

47、d screenwriter Steve Kloves, the “Fantastic Beasts” series is scripted only by Rowling. This time she skipped the bookstores and went straight to the movie theater.The “Fantastic Beasts” series takes its title from one of Harry Potters textbooks. The leap backward in time, a new set of adult heroes

48、and a globe-spanning background show that Rowling is in tune with her fans and the spirit of the times. Harry Potter and his friends started out as a typical product of 1990s naivety, but since then the loyal veteran audience has experienced the shocks of the 21st century and grown mature and discou

49、raged. The “Fantastic Beasts” series feel less like childrens fare; they deal with adults and frightening events that occurred in Europe at the end of the 1920s.Its 1927, and the criminal Grindelwald has escaped from prison to Europe. The hero, Newt Scamander, a zoologist of fantastic beasts, prefer

50、s to distance himself from politics and maintain his improvised nature reserve in London. But the young Prof. Dumbledore reminds him that neutrality is not an option in hard times. Dumbledore urges him to cross the Channel to Paris and stop Grindelwald, who is trying to plot a war to ensure the puri

51、ty of the wizard race.The rough outline of the plot constitutes only part of the movie. There are many other characters who appear in the mystery. I will mention the boy Credence who continues to have a central role in the struggle between the hero and the villain, even as his background remains a m

52、ystery. Similarly, Newts brother and partner, the snake-woman Nagini, and other new and old characters hint at an obscure past and future. Rowling populates her world with characters large and small, odd beasts and simplifies its story to lay the foundation work of the universe. The film lays strong

53、 foundations of mystery, but forgets to build any sort of structure above them. Its like a construction site where the budget ran out too fast.With movie screens full of superheroes and fantasy films, and every studio trying to float a fictional universe, Rowling is todays most creative builder of c

54、inema worlds, but theres still a difference between her and a mega-corporation like Disney. Every character and beast is there because Rowling said so, not because the marketing division thought it would promote sales of merchandise. Rowling clearly has a true passion to create a mythology, and just

55、 as clearly, she hasnt yet finished creating it.The “Fantastic Beasts” series offers a world even fuller than that of Harry Potter. Once more she collaborates with David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter movies and now the two “Fantastic Beasts” pictures. Still, the world shes created w

56、ould be even more wondrous if Rowling had only filled it out with a crystallized or at least coherent plot. In the Harry Potter series, she mostly succeeded in making the films into independent works. But without experienced screenwriters to mediate between her imagination and the screen, the two “F

57、antastic Beasts” episodes are more like a chess game in which the creator moves characters from A to B as part of a broader strategy-which remains unclear.“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” is a film made for existing fans and doesnt bother to appeal to a new audience. Not by chance does

58、it offer a more mature world for fans who have grown up at least as much as Daniel Radcliffe. For them, the movie delivers the goods, but little of the magic remains. If Rowling continues to put out films without a beginning and an end, her world will collapse, leaving only the middle. It may be ent

59、ertainment with captivating characters and effects, but its not a movie.1、What changes has J.K. Rowling made in her writing career?AShe was forced to abandon her original writing career and start a new one.BShe was determined to skip the bookstores and publish books on her own.CShe started a new fan

60、tasy book having nothing to do with the Harry Potter series.DShe tried to enrich the Harry Potter series as a screenwriter rather than a novelist.2、Who are probably the target audience of the “Fantastic Beasts” series?AKids newly introduced to magic. BTeenage students with grand dreams.CAdults going
