and waving hello to the crowd. 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 caught up in a fish trap. when the dolphin arrived at the ocean park in december 2005, she was fighting for her life. “is she going to make it?” her trainer, abbey stone, feared the worst. grace did make itbut her tail didnt. she ended up losing her flukes and the lower part of her peduncle.over the 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 waylike a fish! she pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.the movements put harmful pressure on graces 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 to the bottom of the pool. now, she is still learning to use the tail. some days she wears it for an hour at a time, others not at all. “the new 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, grace will star in dolphin tale, a film that focuses on her rescue and recovery. her progress has inspired more than just a new movie. many people travel from near and far to meet her. seeing grace swim with her manmade tail gives people so much courage.21. when grace first arrived at the ocean park, her trainer worried about her _. a. physical build b. chance of survival c. potential ability d.adaptation to the surroundings. 22. a man-made tail is created for grace to _. a. let her recover faster b. make her comfortable c. help her perform better tricks d. adjust her way of swimming 23. the story of grace inspires people to _. a. stick to their dreams b. treat animals friendly c. face difficulties bravely d. treasure what they havebspring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.a high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain dress styles. it is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages. what we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees, because those people represent the companies to their customers.as a hiring manager, i am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. there are plenty of well-qualified candidates(应试者), so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. even though i am open-minded, i cant expect all our customers are.there is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. no company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.24. which of the following is the newspaper editors opinion according to paragraph 2?a. peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.b. strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.c. customers choices influence dress standards in companies.d. candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.25. what can be inferred from the text?a. candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.b. companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. c. what to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. d. hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.26. which of the following would be the best title for the text?a. hiring managers matter b. appearances matter c. personal choices matter d. employees matter27. the authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as .a. negative b. positive c enthusiastic d. sympatheticcbangkok(曼谷) has become the worlds top tourist destination, with 15.98 million visitors projected to visit thailands capital city this year, according to the third annual global destination cities index released by mastercard on monday. based on

that sunscreen, commonly used to reduce the risk of skin cancer, actually increases the risk.researchers from the university of iowa based their findings on a review of 18 earlier studies that looked at the association between sunscreen use and melanoma (黑素瘤). they said that they found flaws in studies that had reported associations between sunscreen use and higher risk of melanomamost health experts believe that by protecting the skin from the harmful effects of the sun, sunscreen helps prevent skin cancer, which is increasing in incidence (发生率) faster than any other cancer in the united states.but questions has been raised about sunscreen and whether it may have opposite effect, perhaps by allowing people to remain exposed to the sun longer without burning.the researchers said that among the problems with some earlier studies is that they often failed to take into account that those people most at risk for skin cancer- people with fair skin and freckles (雀斑), for example- are more likely to use sunscreen. as a result, it may appear that sunscreen users get cancer more often.the studies, which generally relied on volunteers to recall their sunscreen use, were also unable to prove how well the products had been applied, said the new study.32. the underlined word “flaws” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means .a. faultsb. facts c. failures d. evidence33. people with fair skin and freckles .a. can be free from the harm of the sun b. often expose themselves to the sunc. are more in danger of skin cancer d. seldom use sunscreen34. we can learn from the passage that .a. sunscreen users get skin cancer more oftenb. the number of skin cancer patients is increasing in americac. the new study was based on the experiences of volunteersd. the volunteers have proved the effect of sunscreen35. which of the following can be the title for this passage?a. skin cancer caused by sunscreen b. skin cancer caused by frecklesc. sunscreen to prevent skin cancer d. sunscreen to
