小題1: C
解析 由句意可知,這位女舞蹈演員在很小的時(shí)候就接受舞蹈訓(xùn)練。故選C項(xiàng)。

小題3: C
解析 根據(jù)下文“...she started to do some of her old routines...”可知,她不能離開和忘記舞蹈。
小題4: B
解析 根據(jù)下文“...could even make simple turns and spins without ____.”可知,在舞蹈中做出旋轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)作需要身體保持平衡,因?yàn)樗チ艘恢桓觳捕鵁o法保持平衡。
小題5: D
解析 因?yàn)槭ジ觳玻词故呛?jiǎn)單的旋轉(zhuǎn),她也要練習(xí)一段時(shí)間才不致于失去平衡摔倒在地。

解析 根據(jù)上文“He had never danced.And to dance with one leg...”可知,男士認(rèn)為她在和自己開玩笑。
小題9: B
解析 前面提到男士不同意跟她一起跳舞,之后又同意考慮,因此可知她一直沒有放棄說服男士。
小題10: A
解析 根據(jù)上文可知,這個(gè)男人完全不會(huì)跳舞,所以她要教他跳舞。
小題11: A
解析 下面的內(nèi)容提示因?yàn)槟惺繘]有舞蹈基礎(chǔ),所以他們?cè)诤献鞯臅r(shí)候會(huì)出現(xiàn)各種問題。根據(jù)下文中“...lost patience with him,he would walk out.”可推測(cè),這一對(duì)組合分開過幾次,所以選broke up解散,分開。

小題14: B
解析 根據(jù)下文“...lost patience with him...”可知,她對(duì)男士的情況感到生氣、惱火,所以選annoyed。
小題15: B

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 (動(dòng)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.
小題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.a(chǎn)daptation to the surroundings
小題2:A man­made tail is created for Grace to ________.
A.let her recover faster
B.make her comfortable
C.a(chǎn)djust her way of swimming
D.help her perform better tricks
小題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

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.

小題2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.We often don't know what we have lost until it happens.
B.If it takes you an hour to love someone, you will easily forget her.
C.If you give someone your love, you are sure that she will give her love to you in return.
D.If someone accepts your love and he doesn’t give you his love in return, you should be angry with him.

A. you should depend on wealth
B.you shouldn't do those things that will hurt you and other people
