The 18-year-old star with some other surfers sailed out to reach the dolphins in order to stop them from being driven into a nearby pool and killed, but the six surfers, from Australia and the United States, were stopped by a fishing boat before they could reach them. The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed. Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us. Breaking down in tears, she added, One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that its no longer with us is really hard to take. The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is now back in Los Angeles. More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism (批评) of this as an attack on their culture. 21. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan?A. They said something that hurt the fishermen. B. They entered a pool which wasnt allowed to go into.C. They attacked Japanese culture. D. They tried to stop the fishermen from killing the dolphins.22. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that Panettiere _. A. was really frightened and sad B. succeeded in saving the dolphinsC. cried when they were hit by the boathook D. didnt like the Japanese fishermen23. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. What Happened While Surfing in Japan B. Hayden Panettiere Cried in the Sea of Japan C. People Worldwide Are Against Killing Dolphins D. Protect the Wild Animals BThe influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. Its certain that many things from America are as much a part of peoples lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. Ive known about Coca Cola for my whole life. However, its different with Western fast food. For example, I dont think McDonalds is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonalds hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. Its true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonalds, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, its obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 24. From the first paragraph we can know that _.A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhereB. most Spanish people dont like to listen to their own musicC. fast food spreads from Spain to the United StatesD. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills 25. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies. C. McDonalds. D. American music.26. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?A. To protect foreign culture in Spain. B. To earn more money from Spanish films.C. To limit the number of foreign movies. D. To unite the European Community.27. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant.C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food.CDo you like seahorses? What do you know about them?The seahorse is actually not a horse but a fish, and much smaller than any regular horse. In general, a seahorse is about an inch long. It is a beautiful fish that likes warm waters, swims upright (直立的), and looks a little like a chess piece. Seahorses are an unusual kind of animal because the males (雄性) give birth to babies. Mating (交配) takes place in cooler waters on spring and summer nights with a full moon. The females (雌性) put their eggs into the bodies of the males, and the males give birth to baby seahorses. The seahorse can use each eye separately, which allows it to search for food without moving the rest of its body. Seahorses situate themselves near deep, fast-running channels rich in plankton, a kind of life on which they feed. They can catch food from an inch and a half away. Seahorses can change from gray or black to yellow or purple within seconds to fit in with their surroundings, and in this way escape from most of their enemies. One of the surprising facts about seahorses for most people is that they are vertebrates (脊椎动物). They can turn and curl freely, and like to swim in pairs connected by their tails. Their tails are powerful, and they can use them to grasp the surrounding seaweed (海藻) to keep themselves from being swept away. So seahorses are usually found in warm water filled with seaweed. Now that you know all these facts about seahorses, dont you find them more interesting? 28. We can learn from the passage that seahorses _.A. are beautiful, and live on seaweed B. are as big as regular horses C. live near deep channels D. like to be alone29. The third paragraph tells us that _.A. male seahorses lay eggs B. seahorses mate in spring or autumnC. male seahorses give birth to babies D. seahorses mate in warmer waters at night30. Which of the following protects seahorses from being eaten by their enemies?A. Their fast speed of swimming. B. Their ability to change colours.C. Their unique eyes.D. Their strong tails.31. Which of the following can replace the underlined word grasp?A. Eat. B. Hold. C. Make. D. Handle.D When Joan gave birth to the first boy in her family in three generations, she and her husband were overjoyed. So were her parents. Joan expected her elder sister, Sally, to be just as delighted as them. Joan had always admired Sally-the beauty and the star of the family-and felt happy about her achievements. But since the babys arrival, the sisters have become distant. Joan feels hurt for Sally seems completely uninterested in her baby. Sally, who has no children, claims that her younger sister acts as if no one ever had a baby before. Neither Sally nor Joan understands that the real cause of the current coldness is that their family roles have suddenly changed to the opposite. Finally Joan seems to be better than her elder sister-and Sally doesnt like it! Their distance may be temporary, but it shows that childhood competition dont fade easily as ages grow. It can remain powerful in relationships throughout life. In a study of the University of Cincinnati, 65 men and women between ages 25 and 93 were asked how they felt about their brothers and sisters. Nearly 75 percent admitted having hidden competitive feelings. In a few cases, these emotions were so strong as to have affected their entire lives. Many adult brothers and sisters are close, supportive-yet still tend to compete. Two brothers I know turn into killers when on opposite sides of a tennis net. Off the court, they are the best of friends. My own younger sister cant wait to tell me when Ive put on weight. However, shes a terrible cook and that pleases me; I tease her when she comes to dinner. Happily, despite these small failings, we have been an important resource for each other. In between the very competitive and the generally supportive children lie those who say that no friendship should survive. Some brothers and sisters stay at arms length, hut never give up competition completely. Why do these puzzling, unproductive, often painful relationships continue to exist?32. When Joans son was born, Sally .A. felt very happy B. felt not delighted C. moved away D. admired her a lot 33. What happens to childrens desire to compete with their brothers and sisters? A. It sometimes will disappear when they grow up. B. It will never disappear throughout life. C. It will improve their relationships when they grow up. D. It will never harm their relationships when they grow up.34. Why does the authors sister often tell her when shes put on weight? A. Because she wants the author to go on a diet. B. Because she wants the author to stop calling her a bad cook. C. Because she wants to make fun of the authors weight. D. Because she wants to be honest with the author.35. The underlined sentence means that although some brothers and sisters . A. live near each other, they still have competitions B. live away from each other, they stop their competitions C. live together, they often think of ending their competitions D. live within a big family, they often try to end their competitions第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的六个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。将答案写在答题纸相应位置。Taking photos while on holiday is not an uncommon activity. Tourists do it all the time, but if you want to take things further, here are some tips that can help you along the way.First of all, there is the matter of equipment. Of course, most people believe that the higher end your camera is, the better the photos will turn out. 36 The quality of DSLR cameras(数码单反相机) is superior to the one of small cameras and smartphones, but only if you know how to adjust(调整) their settings. However, if you dont know how to do it, an iPhone camera is enough too. 37 You can shoot amazing photos without having to travel with a large and heavy camera.Secondly, you need to do some research in advance and discover the best photo spots. Your photos dont have to look like travel cards. On the contrary, you can catch the beauty of a place by finding its uncommon corners and subjects. For example, if youre going to a crowded city, dont just take photos of high buildings. 38 You may see a new face of the city at that time.Thirdly, you have to be patient. 39 For the best picture, come back to the same spot several times or stay at one spot for some time. You might come acr
