11、t New Jerseys Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated（截）below the knee. Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experi

12、ence into his performance. His show, The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3, explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains. The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a stubborn patient who refus

I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, ” Ruggiero said. Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. Tap

14、 dancers-theyre always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, he said.

18、I was working a part-time summer job at a local ice cream shop.While handing an ice cream to an older woman at the drive-thru(餐车) window,I noticed she had a box of what appeared to be fresh tomatoes.If youve ever worked a drive-thru job,you know its hard not to look into someones car when youre inch

19、es from his or her face.As I handed her the ice cream,I said,“Those tomatoes look delicious!What kind are they?”She replied with a big smile,“Here,have some!”Within seconds I had a handful of the prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen.Those tomatoes looked expensive.“Oh,no,you dont need to give me any!”

20、I said.I weakly tried to protest:“Really,you didnt have to give me any,but I appreciate it.”The woman smiled again and said,“I hope you enjoy them.And to answer your question,its an heirloom(祖传的) seed that my mom used to plant.So they arent like the ones you get in the grocery store.”After that she

21、sped off.She was like an adult version of the tooth fairy:I gave her ice cream and she gave me tomatoes.About two weeks later,my boss at the ice cream store sent me a text message:“I want to let you know your gardener dropped off a box of vegetables for you.”Baffled,I replied,“My gardener?”That nigh

22、t,my boss showed me the box.It was full of tomatoes,cucumbers,green beans and so on.The tomato fairy was back!I was both happy and confused.Why was this woman being so generous?I never saw her again,but to this day her random act of kindness inspires me to share my garden harvests with anyone who wi

26、lar every year with the increase of peoples income. After all, it 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

27、dolphins can move away if they do not want to interact (交流） with human swimmers, they do not like it at all if the swimmers slip into the water directly on top of them or if humans are in their path of travel. However, if swimmers enter the water to one side of them, the dolphins do not avoid the sw

28、immers to the same extent.In all cases, the dolphins seem to have become more sensitive to the presence of the swimmers. For dolphins, swimming among or with humans is not necessarily a high priority. This research has shown that only 19% of any group of dolphins will participate in interaction. You

29、ng dolphins are the most likely to interact; they do seem curious about being with humans. It is believed that they see 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. The

30、advice is that dolphins should be given enough periods of time throughout the day when they are not exposed to tourism. Permitted interactions should not be too disturbing to the dolphins since there could be mothers and calves (幼崽） present in dolphin groups. There should also be educational campaig

31、ns about the creatures and what is likely to cause danger to them.It is not easy to explain to someone that they cannot 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

32、them for our entertainment, then we must carefully monitor the “swim-with-dolphins” industry worldwide.1、What makes “swim-with-dolphins” tourism popular?AThe local governments encouragement.BThe improvement of peoples living standard.CThe increasing number of tourists.DThe high profits of the indust

35、e between 13 to 19? They may live a happy and meaningful life on condition that you know what changes they are undergoing.The teenage life is full of happiness, sadness enjoyment and it can he interesting too. This is because in the teenage life a teenager is subjected to physical growth, and hormon

36、al changes. They may be in a stage of conflict like undergoing puppy love. This is only a normal part of life.Teenagers should enjoy life by making friends with peers in healthy activities such as camping, picnic, swimming and so on. Through friends, a teenager learns to joke, laugh and play to rele

37、ase stress and tension. By making friends, the teenager learns to sweeten his or her joys and even eases the bitterness of lifes downtime.Many teenagers are very conscious of their physical outlook. It is at this part of their life that beauty strikes as the main self-image. They love to follow up w

38、ith the latest trends for dressing and hairstyle. Some girls and boys go on a crash diet to slim down in order to look attractive. However, making up is not a must for their good image.Parents tend to play a role in a teenagers life. They like to control their freedom and have a say on what the teen

39、agers do. Therefore, teenagers have cases of disagreements, disputes, quarrels and even runaways from homes among some teenage girls. To avoid this, parents should be more in their teenagers shoes.There are also negative problems that may pop out during a teenage life. Some teenagers are easily affe

40、cted by the mass media and the people around them. They may be involved in violent behavior, drugs taking, smoking, drinking and so on.

Be very afraid,” says a character in The Fly,

45、 a horror film about a man who turns into an enormous insect. It captures the unease and disgust people often feel for the kingdom of cockroaches, Zika-carrying mosquitoes and creepy crawlies of all kinds. However, ecologists increasingly see the insect world as something to be frightened for, not f

46、rightened of. In the past two years, scores of scientific studies have suggested that trillions of murmuring, droning, honeybees, butterflies and beetles are dying off. “If all mankind were to disappear”, wrote E.O.Wilson, a respectable entomologist, “the world would regenerate If insects were to va

47、nish, the environment would collapse into chaos.”Most of the studies describe declines of 50% and more over decades in different measures of insect health. The immediate reaction is shock. Insects enable plants to reproduce, through pollination (授粉), and are food for other animals, so a collapse in

48、their numbers would be catastrophic.But a second look leads to a different assessment. Rather than causing a panic, the studies should act as a timely warning and a reason to take precautions. That is because the worst fears are unproven. There are no studies at all of wild insect numbers in most of

49、 the world. Reliable data are too scarce to declare a global emergency.Moreover, where the evidence does show a collapsein Europe and Americaagricultural and rural ecosystems are holding up. Farm production still remains high. As some insect species die out, others seem to be moving into the niches

50、(生态位) they have left, keeping ecosystems going, although with less biodiversity than before. It is hard to argue that insect decline is yet causing significant economic damage.But there are complications. Agricultural productivity is not the only measure of environmental health. Animals have value,

51、independent of any direct economic contribution they may make. The more species make up an ecosystem, the more stable it is likely to be. The extinction of a few insect species among so many might not make a big difference. The loss of hundreds of thousands would.And the scale of the observed declin

52、e raises doubts about how long ecosystems can remain resilient (能复原的). An experiment in which researchers gradually pulled out insect pollinators from fields found that plant diversity held up well until about 90% of insects had been removed. Then it collapsed. Given the lack of data, it is impossib

53、le to know how close Europe and America are to an ecosystem collapse. But it would be reckless to find out by actually triggering one.1、What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph imply?AEcologists have long been afraid of those disgusting insects.BEcologists are worried about the disap

54、pearance of some insects.CEcologists have already got rid of the prejudiced feeling about insects.DEcologists are respectful of the insects ability to regenerate themselves.2、What conclusion can we draw from the studies conducted in the past 2 years?AThough there is a decline in the number of insect

55、s, we still have the reason to be optimistic.BBiodiversity can cause immediate damage so that we should take precautions right away.CData collected from all over the world is convincing to prove our environment is at risk.DThe consequence of decreasing biodiversity may be more serious than we can im

56、agine.3、What is the purpose of writing the passage?ATo show the magical power of our mother nature.BTo analyze why insects are on the edge of extinction.CTo draw peoples attention to the decreasing insects.DTo urge the scientists to collect more data about insects.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节）第一节（每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅
