Imitation appears attractive: to those who know their strenghth. Imitation is unacceptable. In the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. But soon I grew bored. Why follow someone else’s way of cooking when I could create my own? Imitating role models is like using training wheels on a child’s bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them. In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others. In the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. Those stars look great on screen. But when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. If you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors. Blessed is the person willing to act on their sundden desire to create somrthing unique.Think of the movies,books,teachers,and friends that have affected you most deeply.They touched you 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 because their creations were motivated by inspiration,not desperation.The world is changed not by those who do what has been done brfore them,but by those who do what has been done inside them.Creative people have an endless resource of ideas.The problem a creator faces is not running out of material;it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination. Syudy your role models,accept the gifts they have given,and leave behind what does not server.Then you can say,”I stand on the shoulders of my ancestors”tragedies and tory ,and know that they are cheering on. 1.Imitation proves useful when you . A.know you are unique B.lose the bslance of life C.begin to learn something new D.get tired of routine practice 2. To avoid the bad result of imitation, we should________.

A variety of different arguments have been put forward about it. Smith, a sociologist, argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of the public to see marine mammals. As this argument goes, most Australians live in cities and never get to see these animals. Marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife. However, in fact, there are many places where they can be seen in the wild. Moreover, these places do not charge an overpriced entry fee — they are free. Dr. Alison Lane, the director of the Cairns Marine Science Institute, insists that we need marine parks for scientific research. She argues that much of our knowledge of marine mammals comes from studies which were undertaken at marine parks. The knowledge which is obtained at marine parks can be useful for planning for the preservation of marine mammal species. However, Jones, a zoologist, explains that park research is only useful for understanding captive animals and is not useful for learning about animals in the wild. Their diets are different, they have significantly lower life lengths and they are more likely to have a disease. In addition, marine mammals in dolphin parks are trained and this means that their patterns of social behaviour are changed. The Marine Park Owners Association holds that marine parks attract a lot of foreign tourists. This position goes on to state that these tourists spend a lot of money, increasing our foreign exchange earnings and assisting our national balance of payments. However, foreign tourists would still come to Australia if the parks were closed down. Indeed, surveys of overseas tourists show that they come here for a variety of other reasons and not to visit places like Seaworld. Tourists come here to see our native wildlife in its natural environment and not to see it in cages and concrete pools. They can see animals in those conditions in their own countries. In a word, perhaps an agreement cannot be reached now. However, a question does deserve our consideration: If we continue with our past crimes against these creatures, how will our future generations view us? 67. Who support(s) the idea of closing marine parks? A. Most Australians. B. Alison Lane. C. Smith. D. Jones. 68. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 3 ? A. The results from studies are valuable in animal preservation. B. Scientific research at the marine parks has its limitations. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 C. Captive animals have biology changes in marine parks. D. Human behavior causes harmful effects on the animals. 69. Which is NOT the reason to keep marine parks? A. For entertainment purpose. B. For scientific research purpose. C. For economic purpose. D. For political purpose. 70. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by . A. pointing out the problems with keeping the marine parks B. using evidence he has collected at the marine parks C. discussing the advantages of animals' natural homes D. questioning the way the animals are studied 【参考答案】67. D 68. B 69. D 70. A 请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的 A, B, C, D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 【2014 模拟调研】 Many of you should not own dogs. It’s that simple. The reason is that, if you own a dog, you must train a dog, and many dog owners out there, it is safe to say, have little or no control over their dogs, because they do not train them. Strong words? Maybe．But they are simple, honest words, as untrained dogs living in residential neighborhoods bark at will, run loose, and visit and damage neighboring properties with their owners’blessings as they deliberately let them run. Take note of the fact that you, the dog owner, cannot control your dog causing a continual nuisance（麻烦事）that damages the quality of life in your neighborhood. There’s nothing more annoying to most people than a dog that barks and nothing more confusing than trying to understand the deficient（有缺陷的）mentality of the dog owner who allows his dog to do so. After all, the irresponsible dog owner hears the barking too, and so those who must put up with it are continually left wondering-what are they thinking, are they deaf? Many dog owners believe it is not possible for their dog to be trained, an indication that the owners themselves lack self discipline, and most likely have never really tried to apply discipline to other issues in their lives, not with consistency, or that they are simply lazy 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 and inattentive to their own adult responsibilities at the expense of others. Irresponsible dog owners, though, do train their dogs. A dog is a reflection of its owner. Whatever a dog does (run loose, bark at will, jump on guests entering the front door, soil neighboring lawns) is a result of the decisions of the owner. The choice not to do something is indeed a choice. The good news is that with mere consistency, a dog can be trained rather quickly, in a couple of weeks if the owner takes his responsibility seriously. Again, that process will be a reflection of the owner's behavior, and the primary ingredient（要素）in that behavior is not allowing the dog, not even once, to repeat the bad behavior without consequences when told and directed not to. You can stop your dog from barking with simple firm voice commands, direct eye contact, and force of will in a relatively short time, provided you are consistent and a reasonably mature person. Dogs, what，s more, love this training because pleasing you, their owner, is what they arc all about. The upshot（结果，要点）will be that you have a more connected relationship with your dog, a better dog that is suited to its environment. 56. Which is NOT the reason for dog owners to have little or no control over their dogs? A. They are lazy and unwilling to train their dogs. B. They think their dogs can act well without training. C，They lack self-control over many issues in daily life. D. They don't give enough attention to their responsibilities. 57. What's the author's attitude towards owners of untrained dogs? A. Prejudiced. B. Unclear. C. Disapproving. D. Curious. 58. This article is mainly written to＿． A. instruct dog owners how to train dogs B ．call on dog owners to train their dogs C. sing high praise for responsible dog owners D. analyze the relationship between dog owners and their dogs 59. It can be concluded from the passage that＿． A. responsible dog owners can put up with dogs’barking B ．irresponsible dog owners deliberately train their dogs to do something wrong C. we should not own dogs because they can damage the quality of our daily life 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 D ．whether a dog can be trained properly may depend on the dog owner's behavior 【参考答案】56--59 BCBD
