The fishermen blocked their way with a boathook (钩篙). It was an ugly, unfriendly and life-threatening struggle before the surfers were forced to return to the beach. It is believed that the dolphins were later taken into a pool and killed. ‎ Panettiere, who is a brave surfer and loyal animal protector, made up her mind to save the dolphins of Japan and said, "It was really frightening. Some of us were hit by the boathook, but in the end all we were really worried about was the dolphins. It was so sad. We were so close to them and they were jumping out of the water to see us." Breaking down in tears, she added, "One little baby dolphin stuck his head out and looked at me and the thought that it’s no longer with us is really hard to take."‎ ‎ The surfers left the country to avoid arrest (逮捕)by the Japanese police. Panettiere is ‎ now back in Los Angeles. ‎ More than 22,000 dolphins are killed by fishermen in Japan every year. Many Japanese believe dolphins should be treated like fish. They have been hunting dolphins for centuries and see any criticism (批评) of this as an attack on their culture. ‎ ‎21. Why did the surfers get into trouble with the fishermen in Japan?‎ A.

Her book and the movie based on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta‎, ‎Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.‎ Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Georgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’ ‎ And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’ ”‎ The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.‎ Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.‎ ‎24.

An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House. D. A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.‎ C ‎ Are you looking for some new and exciting places to take your kids (孩子) to? Try some of these places ‎ ·Visit art museums. They offer a variety of activities to excite your kids' interest. Many ‎ offer workshops for making land-made pieces, traveling exhibits, book signings by children's favorite writer, and even musical performances and other arts.‎ ‎·Head to a natural history museum. This is where kids can discover the past from dinosaur(恐龙) models to rock collections and pictures of stars in the sky. Also, ask what kind of workshops and educational programs are prepared for kids and any special events that are coming up.‎ ‎·Go to a Youtheater. Look for one in your area offering plays for child and family visitors. Pre-show play shops are conducted by area artists and educators where kids can discover the secret about performing arts. Puppet(木偶)making and stage make-up are just a couple of the special offerings you might find.‎ ‎·Try hands-on science. Visit one of the many hands-on science museums around the country. These science play-lands are great fun for kids and grown-ups alike. They'll keep your child mentally and physically active the whole day through while pushing buttons, experimenting, and building.

When you ‎ choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. ‎ Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. ‎ Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others—and even themselves—to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. ‎ In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. ‎ In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. ‎ ‎ 32. What does the word “they” in Paragraph 1 probably refer to ? ‎ A. People and things around you. B. Opportunities and problems. ‎ C. Creators and their choices. D. Victims and their sufferings. ‎ ‎33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3 ? ‎ A. Creators and victims face quite different things in life. ‎ B. Creators and victims are masters of their lives. ‎ C. Victims can influence more people than creators. ‎ D. Compared with victims, creators are more emotional. ‎ ‎34. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that __________. ‎ A. strong attachment to (沉浸在）sufferings in life pulls people into victims ‎ B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life ‎ C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains ‎ D. one’s experiences determine his attitude toward life ‎ ‎35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage ? ‎ A. To define victims and creators. B. To evaluate victims against creators. ‎ C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators. ‎ D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators. ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Choosing a college major is one of the most important choices you can make about your education and future career. 36 . What you study in school often determines what career opportunities you will have when you graduate.‎ There are a number of steps you can take before making a final decision. 37 .
