For two years, she’d been watching the injured dolphin named Winter swim around the tank. From a distance, the dolphin seemed approachable enough. Still, as Kazazic prepared to jump into the water, a little panic gradually came into her excitement.The young woman eased herself into the pool. Despite her fear, she felt strong wearing her new leg. She was ready to make good on a promise from long ago.In second grade in Mostar, Yugoslavia, Kazazic’s five-year-old cousin, Jasmina, died of leukemia(白血病). Kazazic swore that she would honor the little girl by swimming with a dolphin, an animal they both adored. ―Jasmina never got the chance to do it,‖ says Kazazic, 32, ―so I decided that someday I’d do it for her.‖In 1993, during the Bosnian civil war, 16-year-old Kazazic was badly injured. Her left leg was cut off just below the knee and was brought to the United States for treatment. A few months later, Kazazic received her first artificial leg. Because her right leg was also damaged, walking was still very painful. Nonetheless, she managed to graduate from a local high school.After receiving a BA in psychology, she moved to Florida’s Gulf Coast. She liked watching the dolphins play at the aquarium. A young dolphin, Winter, who had lost her tail in a crab trap, caught Kazazic’s eye: ―She swam more like a shrimp(虾) than a dolphin.‖After one doctor’s visit, trainers fit Winter with a high-tech tail. When it was done, Winter swam away fast. Kazazic was impressed. She approached the trainers, who put her in touch with the inventors. Within ten days, she had a new leg and she could walk without pain again.Eight months later, Kazazic was ready to keep the promise she had made in honor of Jasmina. ―After being in a war zone, this should be a piece o f cake,‖ Kazazic said as she lowered herself into the tank. She held out a hand to Winter, who approached cautiously, and then moved away. After a few minutes, the dolphin let Kazazic move her hand gently over her back. The two started an hour-long swim around the pool. When Kazazic climbed out, her parents hugged her. She would have shouted with joy had she not been aware of dolphins’ sensitivity to noise. Instead she quietly said, ―I felt I owed somebody something, and now I’ve paid my debt.‖ Out in the p arking lot, she got into her car and shouted loudly and happily all the way.56. Which is the correct order of the following events?a. Kazazic was brought to the USA for treatment.b. Kazazic’s five-year-old cousin, Jasmina, died of leukemia.c. Kazazic swam with a dolphin named Winter.d. Kazazic’s left leg was cut off below the knee.e. Kazazic had a new leg and could walk without pain.A. b,d,c,a,eB. b,d,a,e,cC. d,a,e,c,bD. b,a,d,e,c57.

(Paragraph 2)B. … ―so I decided that someday I’d do it for her.‖ (Paragraph 3)C. ―I felt I owed somebody something, and now I’ve paid my debt.‖ (Paragraph 7)D. ―After being in a war zone, this should be a piece of cake,‖…(Paragraph 7)58.

Determined, considerate and faithful.59. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. A new life of a disabled dolphinB. An earnest promise of a disabled womanC. The true love between a woman and her cousinD. A good relationship between a woman and a dolphinBThe New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times and some other newspapers have published articles indicating that cyber attacks targeting Google and several other U.S. companies were from China. Such accusations are biased(有偏见的).These articles take as evidence that hackers’ IP addresses could be traced back to two schools in China. However, it is common sense that hackers can attack by controlling computers from anywhere in the world. This fact also explains why hackers are hard to be tracked down.Computers in China are easy to be controlled by hackers as the majority of Chinese Internet users lack security awareness and adequate protection measures.The hackers’ IP addresses could by no means vindicate(证明正确)the newspapers’ accusations that the attacks were carried out by Chinese citizens or from within China.The New York Times says one of the schools from which the cyber attacks were said to originate has military support. Another school ―has received financing from a high-level government science and technology project.‖The New York Times went to great lengths to mention that ―graduates of one of the school’s computer scienceschool in China does not need to have any special relationship with the military to have its graduates in uniform. It is also true in the United States, where the New York Times is based.China’s attitude toward cyber attacks has been unequivocal and has adopted laws against such crimes, as China is one of the countries that suffer from cyber attacks.The U.S. government, on the other hand, takes an uncertain attitude toward cyber attacks. According to media reports, the U.S. Homeland Security and Defense departments have both openly employed hackers.People with a ―blackhat perspective‖ and knowing how to ―do threat modeling‖ are the best choices, said Philip Reitinger, Department of Homeland Security deputy undersecretary, at an information security conference last October.Cyber crimes could cause immense losses to individuals, companies and nations. Effective supervision(监督) and closer international cooperation are ways to improve cyber security. Finger pointing is not.60. The passage is intended to tell us that __________.A. IP addresses are often used as evidence to track down hackersB. it’s not necessary for school s in China to contact the militaryC. the U.S government openly employ hackers to deal wit h cyber attacksD. the accusations of cyber attacks against China are unreasonable and irresponsible61. The underlined word ―unequivocal‖ in Paragraph 7 means __________.A. clearB. negativeC. supportiveD. vague62. We can conclude from the passage that __________.A. international cooperation and finger pointing are called for to ensure cyber safetyB. people skilled at doing threat modeling don’t have security aw arenessC. some hackers work for the U.S. Homeland Security and Defense departmentsD. hackers are difficult to catch because they can cause lots of losses to people63. The passage is organized by __________.A. raising questions and analyzing figuresB. making descriptions and giving explanationsC. presenting opinions and providing argumentsD. giving definitions and explaining detailsCLive Earth Announces 2010 Global Event!This is the web version of the October 15, 2009 Live Earth email to members. Click here to join and receive bi-weekly updates from Live Earth.Live Earth is pleased to announce the largest worldwide water initia tive(倡议)in history to help fight the global water crisis. The Dow Live Earth Run for Water—to take place on April 18, 2010—will consist of a series of 6 km run/walks (the average distance many women and children walk every day to get water) taking place over the course of 24 hours in countries around the world, featuring concerts and water education activities, raising awareness and funds to help solve the water crisis. Jessica Biel, Alexandra Cousteau, Pete Wentz, Angelique Kidjo and Jenny Fletcher will lend their names and their time in support of this global event.Water shortage is a major issue affecting countries, communities and families all over the world. One in eight people doesn’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. Communities in Africa, Latin America and Asia suffer 1.8 million deaths every year from diarrheal(腹泻）diseases and the death of 5,000 children each day due to inadequate water infrastructure(基础设施). In these areas, women and children are forced to walk 6 km (3.7 miles) each day to get water that is likely unsuitable for drinking. However, the water crisis is not only limited to developing nations. Adding to these existing issues, the effects of climate change are increasingly impacting both supply and quality of available fresh water throughout the world.In 60% of European cities with populations greater than 100,000, groundwater is being used faster than it can be replenished(补充). By 2025, two-thirds of the world’s population could be living under water-stressed conditions.You can help solve the water crisis by participating in the April 18th event. Run/walk registration is now officially open! Sign up now at /run.Thanks and be sure to visit for the latest on The Dow Live Earth Run for Water, conservation tips, and more!64.

The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客)all devoted to travel.Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅店), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than gettin g into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.67. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that __________.A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebookB. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange cityC. it provides lots of useful information about your destinationD. it can help you save time and money when traveling68. People criticize the guidebook because __________.A. it is not as useful as most travelers expectB. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same routeC. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventuresD. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence69. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?A. It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.B. It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.C. It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.70. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①—⑦ stand for Paragraph 1—Paragraph 7 )A. ①B. ①C. ①D. ①②②③④②②③④⑤⑥⑦⑤⑥⑦③④⑤⑥⑦④⑤⑥⑦第四部分: 任务型阅读Brief History of the World’s FairWorld’s Fairs originated in the French tradition of national exhibitions, a tradition that ended with the French Industrial Exposition of 1844 held in Paris. It was soon followed by other national exhibitions in continental Europe, and finally came to London where the first real international exhibition was held.Since their start in 1851, the character of world expositions has developed gradually. Three eras（年代）can be distinguished: the era of industrialization, the era of cultural exchange, and the era of nation branding. Industrialization (1851–1938)The first era could be called the era of industrialization and covered the period from 1851 to 1938. In these days, world expositions were especially focused on trade and famous for the display of technological inventions and advancements. World expositions were the platform where the state of the art in science and technology from around the world was brought together. Inventions such as the telephone were first presented during this era. An important part of the image of World’s Fairs stems from this first era.Cultural exchange (1939–1991)The 1939 New York World’s Fair and the 1949 Stockholm World’s Fair were diff erent from the original focus of the expositions. From then on, World’s Fairs became more strongly based on a specific theme of cultural significance, and began to address issues of humankind. Technology and inventions remained important, but no longer as the principal subjects of the Fair. Cross-cultural dialogue and the exchange of solutions became defining elements of the expos. It wasNation branding (1992–present)From Expo’88 in Brisbane onwards, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and more strongly as a platform to improve their national images through their pavilions(展馆). Finland, Japan, Canada, France and Spain are cases in point. A large study by Tjaco Walvis called ―Expo 2000 Hanover in Numbers‖ showed that improving national images was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. In a world where a strong natio nal image is a key asset(财产), pavilions became advertising campaigns, and the Expo a channel for nation branding. As well as cultural and symbolic reasons, organizing countries (and the cities and regions hosting them) also use the world exposition to brand themselves. Future expositions2017 will see a recognized exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2012 for this smaller-sized exposition. Already, Edmonton, Alberta and Canada have voted to go on with the second stage of putting together a bid for Edmonton EXPO 2017. 2020 will see a registered category of exposition. Bidding may begin as early as 2011 for this larger sized exposition. There are citizen efforts in American cities with the intention of bringing a World’s Fair back to2010年央视春晚的广告收入创新高，但节目中的植入广告引发了热议。
