小题1: C
解析 由句意可知,这位女舞蹈演员在很小的时候就接受舞蹈训练。故选C项。
小题2: B
解析 由句意可知,因为在一次事故中失去了整个左臂,她在之后的几年当中陷入一种消沉沮丧的状态,depression沮丧,消沉,符合句意。
小题3: C
解析 根据下文“...she started to do some of her old routines...”可知,她不能离开和忘记舞蹈。
小题4: B
解析 根据下文“...could even make simple turns and spins without ____.”可知,在舞蹈中做出旋转动作需要身体保持平衡,因为她失去了一只胳膊而无法保持平衡。
小题5: D
解析 因为失去胳膊,即使是简单的旋转,她也要练习一段时间才不致于失去平衡摔倒在地。
小题6: A
解析 根据下文她决定去找这个男人可知,她应该是先听说了这个失去一条腿的男人。hear of听说,符合语境。
小题7: D
解析 根据下文这个男人不愿意跳舞可知,她要说服他和她一起跳舞。
小题8: B

小题10: A
解析 根据上文可知,这个男人完全不会跳舞,所以她要教他跳舞。
小题11: A
解析 下面的内容提示因为男士没有舞蹈基础,所以他们在合作的时候会出现各种问题。根据下文中“...lost patience with him,he would walk out.”可推测,这一对组合分开过几次,所以选broke up解散,分开。
小题12: D
解析 男士之前没有受过舞蹈培训,因此不知道如何在跳舞时控制自己的身体。
小题13: C
解析 男士从没学过跳舞,自然不知道有关舞蹈的最基本的知识。
小题14: B

小题16: A
解析 他们能在大赛中获奖,在训练中肯定是非常认真的。

小题18: C
解析 由句意可知,他能够在一条腿的支撑下做出俯身的动作。
小题19: D
解析 因为把注意力集中在只有一条腿的男舞蹈演员身上,作者甚至都没有意识到女演员失去了一只胳膊。
小题20: A

It’s a great sunny day,so it’s time to get out and enjoy the weather.Many of us would like to,but we have projects due,tasks that need to be done,people that we need to see,and money that needs to be made.
What if your company gave you that time off as compensation for the great effort that you gave to the team to finish a project on time?See,when it comes to teamwork,the main focus is for the team to work together.In a “winning” team there is an equal balance of people who have unique strengths and weaknesses.

What is your team made up of?All Jordans?All Jacksons?All Rodmans?Or all Pippins,Cartwrights and Paxsons?It is you who can choose who’s on your team.Try finding the right people for the right job,and you will have a “winning” team every time!

Tail Spin

Two dolphins race around 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 she's even swimming at all. She doesn't 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 didn't. 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 pushes herself forward through the water by moving her peduncle from side to side.
The movements put harmful pressure on Grace's backbone. So a company offered to create a man­made tail for her. The tail had to be strong enough to stay on Grace as she swam but soft enough that it wouldn't 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 isn't 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.
小题1:When Grace first arrived at the Ocean Park, her trainer worried about her ________.
A.physical build
B.potential ability
C.chance of survival
D.adaptation to the surroundings
小题2:A man­made tail is created for Grace to ________.
A.let her recover faster
B.make her comfortable
C.adjust her way of swimming
D.help her perform better tricks
小题3:The story of Grace inspires people to ________.
A.stick to their dreams
B.treat animals friendly
C.treasure what they have
D.face difficulties bravely
My sister and I grew up in a little village in England. Our father was a struggling     , but I always knew he was     . He never criticized us, but used        to bring out our best. He’d say, “If you pour water on flowers, they flourish. If you don’t give them water, they die. ” I       as a child I said something       about somebody, and my father said, “     time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection(反映)of you. ” He explained that if I looked for the best       people, I would get the best      . From then on I’ve always tried to       the principle in my life and later in running my company.
Dad’s also always been very      . At 15, I started a magazine. It was       a great deal of my time, and the headmaster of my school gave me a      : stay in school or leave to work on my magazine. I decided to leave, and Dad tried to get me to change my decision,       any good father would. When he realized I had made up my mind, he said, “Richard, when I was 23, my dad       me to go into law. And I’ve       regretted it. I wanted to be a biologist, __   I didn’t realize my      . You know what you want. Go achieve it. ”
As      turned out, my little publication went on to become Student, a national       for young people in the U. K. My wife and I have two children, and I’ d like to think we are bringing them up in the same way Dad       me.

Long long ago, a circle missed one piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its       piece. But because it was       and therefore could roll only very slowly, it       the flowers along the way. It       with the worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but       of them fitted. So it left them all by the side of the road and       searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fitted      . It incorporated the missing piece into itself and began to roll.       it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast,       fast to notice the flowers or talk to the worms. After it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it      , left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.
The       of the story, I suggest, is that in some strange       we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has       is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what it       like to nourish his soul with the dream of something      . When we accept that       is part of being human and when we can continue rolling       life and appreciate it, we will have       a wholeness that others can only desire, which , I believe, is _    God asks of us — not “Be perfect”, not “Don’t even make a mistake”,       “Be whole”.

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it grows in yours.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Do not rely on one's appearance, it can deceive. Do not rely on wealth, even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them.
Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
The happiest of people do not necessarily gave the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tired, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
