Job D.BThe “swim-with-dolphins'' tourist industry is becoming more popular every year. After all, if 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 if they do not want to interact (互动，交流）with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the waterdirectly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter thewater to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the swimmers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of theswimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. Thisstudy has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. Young dolphins are the most likely to interact. It is believed chat they sec 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 (停止使用的) . The advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods of time throughout the daywhen they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to thedolphins since there could be mothers and calves(幼崽）present in dolphin groups. There shouldalso be educational campaigns about the creatures and what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they can't 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 entertainment, then we must carefully monitor(监督) the “swim-with-dolphins” industry world wide.25. What makes “swim-with-dolp hins” tourism popular?A. The local government’s encouragement.B. The improvement of people’s living standard.C. The increasing number of tourists.D. The high profits of the industry.26. Why are young dolphins more likely to swim with humans?A. They do this out of curiosity.B. They like human beings better.C. They are less sensitive.D. They prefer strange things by nature27. What docs the author suggest the "swim-with-dolphins" industry do in paragraph 4?A. Avoid interaction with young dolphins.B. Strictly limit the expansion of the industry.C. Make people know the hidden threat to dolphins.D. Expose dolphins to tourists only in the daytime.28. What can be inferred from the last sentence of the passage?A. The industry has been a hot topic worldwide.B. The industry will harm dolphins without proper control.C. The industry enables humans to swim with dolphins.D. The industry aims to bring happiness to humans.CA campus visit will give you a richer, more detailed view about life at your potential(有潜力的）college than you would get from surfing the net, browsing brochures, or watching videos. Every school has its own culture, its own unique way of doing things and something you can’t get from a brochure! Let’s look at the two major benefits of a campus visit.For one thing, you’ll get the feel of the type of students who attend the school. For many students, who they go to school with is just as important as where they go to school and what they study. You may think this is a concern of no account, but it’s not; your fellow students will be your peers(同伴) and friends throughout your life at school. Consider the following issues. Do the students all look alike, or is the population diverse? Do you want a college that will give you the opportunity to meet people with different backgrounds and perspectives(思维方法)?Do they look well-mannered? Are they friendly and helpful?For another thing, you will get the feel of the academic(学术的）atmosphere and whether it’s a good choice for you. Academics are the primary reason you’re attending college, so you want to know whether you and the school you are considering are a good academic fit. If possible, attend a class or two during your visit ( make sure to arrange for this with the admissions office well in advance). If asked for your preference, request to sit in on a class that is required for all freshmen so that you will get a sense of what your first year will be like.When you are there, keep your eyes and ears open. Are the classes huge or small? Is the teacher a full professor or a graduate student? Are students carefully taking notes? Are they asking questions? Answer these questions and you will be able to determine whether the school is a good fit for you.28. Why is a campus visit a better choice?A. You can experience foreign culture.B. You can get first-hand information.C. You can get motivated to study harder.D. You can form your own learning style.29.What is recommended to learn of a school’s academic atmosphere?A. Consult the admissions office.B. Take part in academic meetingsC. Take compulsory first-year classes.D. Interview the school's freshmen.30. What does the underlined phrase mean in Paragraph 2?A. unimportantB. particularC. expectedD. familiar31. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?DBeauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks thatattractive people are happier and healthier; they have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants(顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive (行政的）circle, beauty can become a liability.While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man's rise, it is harmful to a woman's.Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort andability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to abilitybut to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thou^»t to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractiveones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractedwoman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the “masculine” qualities required.This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but thewoman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.33. In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness________.A. strengthens the feminine qualities requiredB makes women look more honest and capableC. is of great importance to womenD. often enables women to succeed quickly34 Bowman's experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness_______A turns out to be an obstacle to men.B. affects man and women alike.C has as little effect on men as on women.D is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women.35 It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often_____A. practical.B. old-fashioned.C. prejudicedD. serious.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•选项中有两項为多余选项•Modem means of communication make the world a small place.
