【題目】People and animals often enjoy loving relationships with each other. When people adopt domesticated(家養(yǎng)的) animals into their families as pets, animals give humans the blessings of companionship and fun in return. In the wild, animals sometimes carry out dramatic rescues of people in dangerous situations, miraculously(奇跡般地) sensing human needs and jumping in without fear to help.

In 2000, a 6-year-old boy named Elian Conzalez left Cuba on a boat bound for Florida in the United States, but the boat sank and everyone aboard drowned except for Elian and two adults. Elian and the other two survivors held onto inner tuber for 48 hours to try to stay afloat in the sea. After a while, however, Elian began to lose strength, slipping under the water and then grabbing the tube again as he fought to stay alive.

A small group of dolphins noticed Elian struggling and swan over to him to help. The dolphins formed a circle around the inner tube and took turns using their noses to lift Elian until fishermen working in the area discovered and rescued Elian and the two adults who floated nearby. The fishermen reported that, when they discovered Elian, he was repeating a prayer that his mother had taught him before drowning, asking guardian angels to protect him.

Miraculously, the dolphins knew that a child would need more help than adults, so they focused on Elian —and they figured out exactly what needed to be done and cooperated carry out that plan successfully. They made it!

1Why did Elian slip off the tube?

A. He was tired out.

B. The dolphins helped him.

C. The two adults pushed him.

D. The tube was too smooth to grab.

2How did the dolphins save Elian Conzalez?

A. They informed the fishermen.

B. They formed a circle around him.

C. They supported the inner tube by turns.

D. They stopped Elian slipping under the water.

3Which of the following words can be used to describe Elian Gonzalez?

A. Confident and strong.

B. Determined and lucky.

C. Friendly and optimistic.

D. Adaptable and aggressive.

4Which could be the best title?

A. Prayer Doing Wonder

B. Elian’s Narrow Escape

C. The Dolphins Who Rescued Elian

D. Animals: Human Being’s Angels

【答案】

1A

2D

3B

4C

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。
You might dream of fluency in this or that language, and maybe you've already achieved fluency in a foreign language..
Fluency, like all abstract terms, has no universal meaning. Each individual must determine what the term means..
Perfect fluency means knowing every word you encounter, speaking quickly, clearly and easily and having no accent.. You aren't familiar with every word of your native language, and sometimes you have to search for the right word, even in your mother tongue.
Quick fluency is the type of fluency you see in advertisements, because “Master a Language in Two Months!” sounds way catchier than “Fluency in Twenty Years!”. It is possible to achieve quick fluency, but the fluency achieved after such a short time frame will be a very thin, superficial fluency.
. Native-like fluency means that you generally know all the same words that a native knows and can speak at the same pace with the same amount of ease as a native speaker. You will likely have an accent, but as long as your conversation partner can understand you, it doesn't matter.
Literary fluency is like graduating from native-like to educated-native-like fluency. It focuses on the more intellectual(知識性的) side of a language: indulging in literature, attending university, composing song lyrics, etc.
There are a ton of other things that fluency could potentially(可能地) be, but that's up to you to figure out.
A. It sounds too good to be true.
B. However, Nobody is “perfectly fluent” in any language.
C. Quick fluency is good if you have some sort of deadline.
D. But have you ever considered what fluency really means?
E. But does fluency have the same meaning to other person as it does to you?
F. Unlike perfect fluency, native-like fluency is a reasonable and attainable goal.
G. To assist you in determining what fluency is, I'll describe a few different types of fluency.
