18、ection when he dived off a boat into unexpectedly shallow water, broke his neck and became a quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者). Since then, he has become an advocate for people with a disability.When Far North Queensland Regional Disability Council Chair Robert Pyne speaks, two things about him quickly become ap
19、parent. First, this is a man who has not simply dealt with a sudden, life-changing event, but one who has allowed it to shape his life and goals in a major way. Second, although Robert has already achieved a huge amount by anyones standards, he is really only just getting started in terms of his own
20、 goals.At the top of his list is increased funding for disability services and support. “We need greater funding equity (公正). I want to see more money going to people in desperate need, and there are many such people, because spending on disability in Queensland has come from a historically low base
21、,” he said.“However, I am optimistic that this will change as a result of the Queensland Governments current Have Your Say consultations, which should result in funding judgments being made following a face-to-face interview, rather than getting into unfathomable (莫测高深的) paperwork.”As well as his ro
22、les as the regional and state disability liaison officer (联络人) for James Cook University and the president of advocacy group Rights in Action, he also has arts and law degrees. Given his education and talents, Robert could have made any career, but has chosen to become an advocate for people with a
23、disability. Why?“My work as an advocate for people with a disability started as a volunteer, but over time it has become my profession. I have become interested in what Im doing because there is such great need out there,”he said.Robert said he considered himself extremely fortunate to have support
24、and inspiration in his life in the form of his wife Jenny and daughter Katie.“I cant pretend I dont sometimes wake up in the morning and feel like Im not getting anywhere. But when I do, Jenny and Katie inspires me to keep going,”he said.24. What happened to Robert according to Paragraph 1?A. He fel
25、l off a boat.B. He was hurt by somebody.C. He had a long swim in shallow water.D. He made a wrong judgment of water depth.25. What do people think of Robert according to Paragraph 2?A. He should keep his standards.B. He has accomplished very much.C. He should work towards achievable goals.D. He need
26、s to start his career as soon as possible.26. Why is Robert dissatisfied with the Queensland Government?A. They arent giving citizens chances to express their opinions.B. They arent spending enough money on the disabled.C. They arent doing interviews quickly.D. They arent doing paperwork.27. How doe
27、s Robert feel about his being an advocate for the disabled?A. Less enthusiastic.B.Always full of hope.C. Increasingly worried.D. Occasionally skeptical.C When most people think of dolphins (海豚), they imagine the gray, friendly-looking creatures that live in the ocean. Although these are the most wel
28、l-known type of dolphins, more than 20 other species exist. Almost all dolphins live in the salty, warm waters of oceans around the world, but four species live in freshwater rivers. Of these four, the pink Amazon river dolphin, or boto, is the most unusual.The colors of botos vary quite a bit. Some
29、 have only a slight pinkish color to their skin, but others are as bright and vivid as flamingos (火烈鸟). Scientists still have not determined why the botos skin is pink or why there is so much variation. Some theories have to do with the amount of time the dolphin is in the sun or how physically acti
30、ve it is.The unusual coloring of pink dolphins is not the only thing that distinguishes them from their more common cousins. Botos also have long, thin, beaklike (鸟喙状的 ) noses that help them catch fish in hard-to-reach places. Unlike other species of dolphins, they have great flexibility and can tur
31、n their heads 180 degrees. This is because the small bones of their neck are not fused (连接) together.In the low-lying river areas of South America, the forests frequently flood during the long rainy season. The water actually becomes deep enough that botos are able to swim through the forests, using
32、 their natural flexibility to make their way in between trees! The flooded forests make a good temporary home for the pink dolphins.Conservation groups are worried about the future of botos in South America. People generally do not hunt the dolphins because there are many legends surrounding these a
33、nimals. However, the dolphins do compete with fishermen for food. Botos can be caught in fishermen s nets and drown. There is also an increasing problem with pollution in the rivers where the dolphins live.Botos are not currently an endangered species, but they are not far from becoming one. Scienti
34、sts and conservationists are doing their best to make sure that these friendly pink creatures remain safe and protected in the warm waters of South American rivers.28. Which of the following is a unique characteristic of botos?A. They can swim very fast.B. Their necks are very flexible.C. Their nose
35、s are long and large.D. They can climb trees in the forests.29. What has saved botos from being hunted?A. Traditional stories.B. Conservation laws.C. Pollution in the rivers.D. Their ability to break nets.30. What is the authors attitude to the future of botos?A. He pays little attention to it.B. He
36、 feels hopeful about it.C. He is worried about it.D. He is uncertain about it.31. What is the text mainly about?A.A guide to the protection of botos.B. The major advantages of botos.C.An unusual species of dolphins.D. The purpose of studying pink dolphins.D Queensland children are leaving primary sc
37、hool unable to swim, because they are not being taught the basic survival skills needed to keep themselves safe in the water. Despite the Sunshine States abundance of beach coastlines, backyard pools, rivers and dams, Queensland has fallen behind other states in Australia in teaching our kids how to
38、 swim.Today, the Westside News is kicking off an S.O.S. campaign to“Save Our Schoolkids”.Experts warn that the decline in swimming ability is creating a generation of Queensland kids who cant swim to save themselves, and they have called for immediate action to prevent a rise in drownings and sea re
39、scues. Our campaign is calling for compulsory, certified swim and water safety lessons in Queensland primary schools. Students would have to meet a set benchmark (标准) including swimming 50m, treading (踩) water for two minutes and recognising potential dangers as part of the program.Australian Water
40、Safety Council convenor Justin Scarr said more action was urgently needed to prevent child drownings and incidents. He said most states had carried out school-based programs.“The assumption is Queenslanders can swim before they walk because it is such an ideal environment for swimming . the water is
41、 part of everyday life for many people in the state.”Mr Scarr said the reality was far different and an increasing number of children did not have the ability to survive in the water. Surf Life Saving Queensland chief George Hill said volunteers and lifeguards were alarmed by the growing number of y
42、oung people getting into trouble in the ocean.Education Queensland said swimming and water safety lessons were encouraged but not compulsory.Mr Scarr said many parents used to send kids aged up to four or five to lessons, but then that stopped as the family focus often turned to other sports.“As a r
43、esult, we are seeing children losing the chance to develop the swimming and survival skills that previous generations enjoyed.”He said the targeting of children during primary years was“absolutely critical”, as they needed to learn the vital skills before their teenage years when they got into water
44、ways without being under the watchful eyes of parents.32. What is the S.O.S. campaign calling for?A.An ideal environment for swimming.B. Immediate rescue action on drownings.C. Quality swim lessons for primary school kids.D. A higher swimming benchmark than other states.33. What did Mr Scarr say abo
45、ut Queenslands reality?A. There werent enough volunteers.B. Swimming was a main part of everyday life.C. Queenslanders could swim freely before they walked.D. Many young people didnt know the survival skills in water.34. What might Mr Scarr advise parents to do?A.Attend water safety lessons.B. Get i
46、nterested in doing sports.C. Help kids grasp swimming skills.D. Develop kids skills in different sports.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. Ways to stay safe in the waterB. School programs in AustraliaC. Make swim lessons compulsoryD. Water is everywhere in Queensland第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）
47、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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Speech students are often amazed at how easily their teacher can pick out a speakers main points. Of course, the teacher knows what to listen for and has had plenty of practice. But the next time you get an opportunity, watch your teacher during a speech. 36
48、. When note-taking is done properly, it is a great way to keep track of a speakers ideas. The key words here are when done properly.37 . Some try to write down everything a speaker says. They view note-taking as a race. As the speaker starts to talk, the note-taker starts to write. But soon the spea
49、ker is winning the race. Some people go to the opposite extreme. They know they cant write down everything. 38 . Every once in a while the speaker rewards them with a joke or a dramatic story. Then the note-taker seizes the pen, writes down a few words, and sits back to await the next exciting point. By the end of the lecture they have little or no record of the speakers important ideas.As these examples show, most inefficient (效率低的) note-takers suffer from one or both of the two problems: 39 , and they dont know how to record what they do listen fo
