ABLOOD DRIVE & MARROW(骨髓) REGISTRATION“These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of strangers to make that happen.”—Daisy, Isabelle’s MotherIsabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed(诊断) with a genetic blood disorder, beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions(输血) every 4-6 weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant. Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through the Be The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.Held at Willey HallWednesday, March 26, 2016Behind Heathman Dormitory/Butterfield Rd.12:00 PM-6:00 PMDon’t forget to bring your driver’s license or another formof identification when you donate.Visit www. ribc. org to make an appointment, Sponsor Code 3390.FREE Kingston Pizza!!! 800-283-8385The Rhode Island Blood Center distributes blood products to hospitalsin Rhode Island and Southern New England.21.

Thesmaller dolphin，Grace, shows off a few of her tricks，turningaround and waving hello to the crowd. The most amazing thingabout her, however, is that she’s even swimming at all. She doesn’thave 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 man-made 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.”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 Park, her trainer worried about her ________.A．physical buildB．potential abilityC．chance of survivalD．adaptation to the surroundings25．A man-made tail is created for Grace to ________.A．let her recover fasterB．make her comfortableC．help her perform better tricksD．adjust her way of swimming26．The story of Grace inspires people to ________.A．stick to their dreamsB．treat animals friendlyC．face difficulties bravelyD．treasure what they haveCPoet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was born. He was rejected by his mama days before our planned trip to Boise, I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and one another. They’d get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshopper in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car windows at baby pigs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parents’ doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet me up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that adetour may uncover the best part of a journey—and the best part of yourself.27. Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?A. It was less tiring.B. It would be faster and safer.C. Her kids would feel less confined.D. She felt better with other drivers nearby.28. The author stopped regularly on the country roads to ________.A. take a deep breathB. take care of the lambC. relax in the fresh airD. let the kids play with Banner29. What does the author discover from the trip according to Paragraph 6?A. Freeways are where beauty hides.B. Getting close to nature adds to the joy of life.C. Enjoying the beauty of nature benefits one’s health.D. One should follow side roads to watch wild animals.30. Why did the author ask the kids to get out of the car on their way back home?A. To let them cool down.B. To play a game with them.C. To order some food for them.D. To give herself some time to read.31. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Charm of the DetourB. The Road to BraveryC. Creativity out of NecessityD. Road Trip and Country LifeDDoes Fame Drive Y ou Crazy?Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today’s stars, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world’s attention. Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids (小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!According to psychologist Christina Villarreal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villarreal says, “they feel separated and alone.”The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.If fame is so troublesome, why aren’t all celebrities running away from it? The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.32．It can be learned from the passage that stars today ________.A．are often misunderstood by the publicB．spend too much on their public appearanceC．can no longer have their privacy protectedD．care little about how they have come into fame33．What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．Great heroes of the past were generally admired.B．The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.C．Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.D．Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.34．What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A．Huge population of fans.B．Inadequate social recognition.C．Lack of favorable chances.D．Availability of modern media.35．What is the author’s attitude toward modern celebrity?A．Sincere. B．Skeptical. C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.ELast summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd l ove affair with “low technology”, a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in thelate eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the c onnection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing real crafts is one way to do that.”This craft-based theory is rooted in history. William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnect ed from life,” Morris said.Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.36. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.A. is related to natureB. is out of date todayC. consumes too much energyD. exists in the virtual world37. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.A. Twitter is having a hard timeB. old cottages are in need of protectionC. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in MontanaD. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology38. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.A. have a tradition of valuing arts and craftsB. have destroyed many pre-industrial artsC. can become intelligent by learning historyD. can regain their individual identity by using machines39. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.A. doubtfulB. defensiveC. cautiousD. positive40. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Past Glories, Future DreamsB. The Virtual World, the Real ChallengeC. High-tech Companies, Low-tech OfficesD. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
