【题目】Dear Friends,

You may be familiar with our growing collection of remarkable true stories from around the world about young animals facing disaster and misfortune: a baby hippo orphaned during the Asian tsunami and adopted and raised by a 130-year-old giant tortoise; a baby polar bear abandoned at birth by his mother and hand-raised by a caring zookeeper at the Berlin Zoo.

We are now pleased to introduce you another remarkable true story—unlike our other land-based stories, this one rises from the sea. The name of the book is called Winter’s Tail. This is the story of Winter, a young female dolphin who injures and then loses her tail after being injured off the coast of Florida. The injured Winter is rescued from a crab trap and brought to the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, a marine animal hospital, where she at first adjusts and learns to swim without her tail by moving her body with a side-to-side action. Winter’s actions and behaviors cause great concern among her caretakers because it is clear to them that she is injuring her body and internal organs with this painful and inelegant method of movement.

But luckily, an engineer designed an artificial tail that enables Winter to once again swim like a dolphin. The solution to this problem came from the miracle of modern technology. It was very challenging but now Winter is thriving and using her new tail with great command. Winter has already become an inspiration and an icon for millions touched directly and indirectly by all types of challenges.

This is an interesting book. I hope you enjoy the interesting and touching story of one brave little dolphin who learned how to swim again.

With love and hope,

Juliana

【题目】阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

On Friday evening, Emmett and I went to a movie as scheduled. After purchasing the tickets and drinks, we entered the cinema with delight beforehand, waiting for the beginning of the movie.

When I got up in the middle of the movie, Emmett whispered, “ Carter, where are you going?” “I forgot to call my mom to tell her what time to pick us up.” I whispered back, leaving my jacket on the seat.

I squeezed past the people in my row, trying not to step on any feet while still watching the screen. I didn’t want to miss a thing. Balfour, the good guy in the movie, was trapped in an underground cave.

When I came back, Balfour’s flashlight almost went out. An enormous snake was moving toward him, twisting its body. Balfour struggled to loosen the chains around his hands and feet to reach his magic cape (魔法斗篷). With the cape around him, he could completely disappear.

I crawled (缓慢行进) back across eight people (I counted on the way out), never taking my eyes off the screen. I sat down in my seat slowly, then picked up my drink, and swallowed it quickly. But suddenly my brain said, “That’s not coke. That’s lemonade.” I looked down at the cup, just as the girl next to me shouted, “He drank my lemonade!”

“Shhhh!” the people around us said, making quiet complaints.

“Where’s Emmett?” I asked, as if the girl had hidden him under her seat.

“Carter, down here,” Emmett answered in a low voice. He was two rows ahead of me. I was in the wrong row! Everyone was turning around to look at me.

“Here,” I said, handing the girl her drink.

“Eww,” she said. “You have had a drink of it, so you owe me a lemonade.”

“Shhhh!” everyone said again.

“OK, OK,” I said, starting my crawl across eight sets of feet again. Everybody were complaining as I inched out.

“Don’t come back,” the boy on the end said.

【题目】阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项。

奥朗德

President Normal

(2012年洛阳二模)BEFORE Nicolas Sarkozy became French president,he was asked if he thought about presidency when he looked in the mirror while shaving(刮胡子).“Not just when I'm shaving,”he answered.

When Francois Hollande,now presidentelect(总统当选人)of France,was asked the same question,he replied:“Do I see myself as president?No,I am a presidential candidate.A candidate must not think himself president;he must give hope that he becomes president.”

Hollande has promised to be a“normal(普通的) president”-something Sarkozy certainly was not.Sarkozy celebrated his election in 2007 at a worldclass Parisian restaurant.He took holidays on the yachts(游艇)of wealthy businesspeople.Hollande,by contrast,was still going around Paris on his threewheeled motorbike at the start of this year.One member of his party said he looked“more like a pizza delivery man”than the next president.

“That is the key to Hollande's success because the election is turning into a sort of referendum(公民投票)for or against Nicolas Sarkozy,”Eric Dupin,a journalist and political observer(观察员)told Global Post.“Francois Hollande is the one who appears not only as his main opponent(对手)politically,but also as his complete opposite psychologically(心理上).”

When he was the Socialist party leader,Hollande was nicknamed“the marshmallow(软糖)”because he hated fights.Sarkozy,by contrast,is known to be loud and aggressive(好斗的).

When faced with Sarkozy's verbal attacks during the election,Hollande stayed calm.This sometimes annoyed even his own supporters.“I wish he would just let go and savage(用暴力对付)Sarko,”one Hollande voter said to the Guardian.

But Hollande still knows how to fight.Stéphane Le Foll,a Sicialist MEP who has been one of Hollande's closest advisors for 17 years and is codirecting his campaign,said Hollande had quietly planned his presidential bid(投标) for 10 years.“I think we all underestimated(低估)this guy,”Alain Minc,one of Sarkozy's closest friends and advisers,told Reuters.

Hollande was born in 1954 into a middleclass family.He lived through the 1968 protests(抗议)that nearly overthrew(推翻)the French government.“They shocked him,but also politicized him,he said in a recent interview,making him understand that change was possible,”reported the New York Times.When Hollande was 15,he told friends he expected to become president.

“I didn't come to the first rank either by chance or by obsession(执迷),”Hollande said in an interview with Reuters.“I got there because I put myself in this situation,and because I deserved (值得的;应受的)it.”
