Tulane Museum of Natural History.B Fourteen years ago, Robert Pyne s life took a big change in direction when he dived off a boat into unexpectedly shallow water, b

18、roke 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 apparent. First, this is a man who has not simply dealt with a sudde

19、n, 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 goals.At the top of his list is increased funding for disability

20、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,” he said.“However, I am optimistic that this will change as a re

21、sult 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 roles as the regional and state disability liaison officer (联络人) for

22、 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 disability. Why?“My work as an advocate for people with a disabili

23、ty 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 and inspiration in his life in the form of his wife Jenny and daug

24、hter 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 fell off a boat.B. He was hurt by somebody.C. He had a long swim in s

25、hallow 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 needs to start his career as soon as possible.26. Why is Robert dissat

26、isfied 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 does Robert feel about his being an advocate for the disabled?A. Less

27、 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 well-known type of dolphins, more than 20 other species exist. Almost

28、 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 have only a slight pinkish color to their skin, but others are as

29、 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 active it is.The unusual coloring of pink dolphins is not the only thi

30、ng 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 turn their heads 180 degrees. This is because the small bones of their

31、 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 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 animals. However, the dol
