in a big pool in the ocean park. the smaller dolphin grace, shows off a few of her tricks, turning around 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 it - but 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 way-like a fish! she pushed herself forward through the water by moving her peduncles from side to side.the movement 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 in 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 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 man-made tail gives people so much courage.24. when grace first arrived at the ocean

great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. theres so much to learn, hed say. though were born stupid, only the stupid remain that way. he was determined that none of his children would be denied（拒绝）an education.thus, papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny papa a request. and dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. we would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point.then came the momentthe time to share the days new learning.papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.felice, hed say, tell me what you learned today. i learned that the population of nepal is . silence.papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation（拯救） of the world would depend upon it. the population of nepal. hmm. well . . . . hed say. get the map; lets see where nepal is. and the whole family went on a search for nepal.this same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a dozen such facts.as children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one anothers education. and by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming（肯定） our value, giving us a sense of dignity, papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.later during my training as a future teacher ，i studied with some of the most famous educators. they were imparting(传授） what papa had known all alongthe value of continual learning. his technique has served me well all my life. not a single day has been wasted, though i can never tell when knowing the population of nepal might prove useful.27.what do we know from the first paragraph?a. the authors father was born in a workers family.b. those born stupid could not change their life.c. the town elders wanted to learn about the world.d. the poor could hardly afford school education.28.it can be learned from the passage that the author_ .a. enjoyed talking about newsb. knew very well about nepalc. felt regret about those wasted daysd . appreciated his fathers educational technique29what is the greatest value of dinner time to the author?a. continual learning. b. showing talents.c. family get-together. d. winning papas approval.30.the authors father can be best described as_ .a. an educator expert at training future teachersb. a parent insistent on his childrens educationc. a participant willing to share his knowledged. a teacher strict about everything his students diddwhen i was nine years old, i loved to go fishing with my dad. but the only thing that wasnt very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while i couldnt catch anything. i usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why. he always answered, “son, if you want to catch a fish, you have to think like a fish”, i remember being even more upset then because, “im not a fish!” i didnt know how to think like a fish. besides, i reasoned, how could what i think influence what a fish does?as i got a little older i began to understand what my dad really meant. so, i read some books on fish. and i even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings. i learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature. that is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer. besides, water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade. yet, fish dont have any eyelids(眼皮) and the sun huts their eyes the more i understood fish, the more i became effective at finding and catching them.when i grew up and entered the business world, i remember hearing my first boss say, “we all need to think like sales people.” but it didnt completely make sense. my dad never once said, “if you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman.” what he said was, “you need to think like a fish.” years later, with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me, i gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers. it is not an easy job. i will show you how in the following chapters.31. why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine?a. he could not catch a fish.b. his father was not patient with him.c. his father did not teach him fishing.d. he could not influence a fish as his father did.32. what did the authors father really mean?a. to read about fish.b. to learn fishing by oneself.c. to understand what fish think.d. to study fishing in many ways.33. according to the author, fish are most likely to be found _.a. in deep water on sunny daysb. in deep water on cloudy daysc. in shallow water under sunlightd. in shallow water under waterside trees.34. after entering the business world, the author found _.a. it easy to think like a customerb. his fathers fishing advice inspiringc. his first bosss sales ideas reasonabled. it difficult to sell services to poor people35. this passage most likely comes from _.a. a fishing guideb. a popular sales bookc. a novel on childhoodd. a millionaires biography第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）
