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.

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
3、 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 mov
4、ing 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
5、, 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(動作) and b

At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley.All I remembered of the

Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling.I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful.I take pictures, b
15、ut not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful.I'm no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old.I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.
I don't want to wake up one
16、 day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes.Maybe I won't have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I'll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me.I don't live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more loca
33、lly farmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated. More and more local small farms are popping_up in opposition to factory farms.
Today's commercial farms do not fit the image that comes to mind while happily singing along to “O
34、ld McDonald”. Instead, most of the nation's food comes from CAFOs, Confined Animal Feeding Operations, where animals are kept in tightly enclosed conditions as they are fattened up and readied to be killed for food.
Fortunately, knowing exactly where one's food comes from has led to an increase in
35、the availability of what is known as “grass fed” beef. Technically, all cattle are grass fed for at least a limited amount of time, but what makes the meat significant is that it is grass finished, not force fed corn, soy or grains. This change in diet makes all the difference since corn is not part
36、 of the cow's traditional diet, and therefore causes major health issues for it. To deal with the health issues, antibiotics (抗生素) are used and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans, so they can decrease the effectiveness of medicine when a consumer is
37、 sick.
A healthier diet for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories. And when cooking grass fed beef, you'd better use a slightly lower temperature to make it more delicious.
文章大意：本文是一篇議論文。為了應對機械化農業(yè)的弊端，越來越多的小農業(yè)開始興盛起來了，它們生產的農畜牧產品不僅豐富了人們的一日三餐，同時也更綠色、更健康。
5．The underlined words “
38、popping up” (in the 1st paragraph) probably means ________.
A．improving B．fading
C．profiting D．appearing
答案：D 詞義猜測題。根據文章第一句中“and now more locally farmed protein choices are available”可知，現在有更多的當地小農場喂養(yǎng)的動物可滿足人們對蛋白質的需求，即當地出現了越來越多小農場，由此可知，appear與pop up意思最為接近，故答案D符
39、合文義。
6．The song “Old McDonald” describes ________.
A．animals raised freely on local farms
B．animals kept in tightly enclosed conditions
C．commercial farms providing fast food
D．commercial farms providing unpopular foods
答案：A 推理判斷題。根據文章第二段第一句“Today's commercial farms do not fit the image...”的提示
40、和下文對商業(yè)農場喂養(yǎng)動物的方法的描述可知，the song “Old McDonald”所描述的喂養(yǎng)方式正好和商業(yè)農場相反，由此可推知，答案A符合文義。
7．Some medicines are less effective for beef consumers probably because ________.
A．some cattle feed on grains
B．all cattle diet on grass
C．some medicines are used to treat sick cattle
D．some antibiotics are used by bo
41、th cattle and people
答案：D 細節(jié)理解題。根據文章第三段最后一句中“and some of the antibiotics used to treat the cattle are similar to those given to humans...”可推知，答案D符合文義。
8．We can infer from the text that ________.
A．food from local farms can help add to the variety in our daily meals
B．soy or grains are on the lis
42、t of traditional diets of the cattle
C．corn for the cattle leads the meat to lower in both fat and calories
D．lower temperature makes grass fed beef more delicious
答案：A 推理判斷題。根據文章第一段第一句“Walking in a farmers' market often brings one to explore new food options, and now more locally farmed protein choices are available to help bridge the gap between our meals and the farms on which they originated.”可推知，選項A“當地小農場的食物可以豐富我們的一日三餐”符合文義。B、C兩項與原文不符；D項不是經過推理得出的，不符合題意，故排除。
