The next day, he got 13 points (得分)in another game.‎ Most people think that Yao Ming is a born basketball player. But Yao said, “When you watch it on TV, it looks very easy. But when you are playing in the NBA, it is really not so easy.” He said that joining the Houston Rockets was a new start and a new challenge. “I hope that through very hard work I can make everyone happy and help the Rockets win more games,” he said Yao Ming speaks some English. Both he and his teammates can understand each other. They don't think there is a language problem. While Yao Ming faces this new challenge, the people of Houston have shown great interest in him and they hope Yao Ming will bring new energy (活力) to the Rockets. The team has started having lessons to learn more about China, and many people who work for the Rockets have learned to speak some Chinese.‎ ‎21.Yao Ming got 13 poins on October _____, 2002.‎ ‎　　A. 22　　　 　B.23　　　　C.24　　　　D.26‎ ‎22.Yao Ming said that _____.‎ ‎　　A. playing in the NBA was difficult B. it was hard to watch NBA games on TV ‎　　C. he was an NBA star　　 　　 D. it was boring to play basketball ‎23.From the passage we can know that Yao Ming ________.‎ ‎　　A. will work hard for his team ‎　　B. made the highest score in his first NBA game ‎　　C. can't understand his teammates D. teaches the Rockets workers Chinese himself ‎24.The passage is probably ______.‎ ‎　　A. an advertisement　　　　　　　　B. a notice C. a news report　　　　　　　　　 D. an instruction B Our bodies communicate what we feel loudly and clearly. Here are some tips for reading body language so that you can understand what is not being expressed by words. All of these tips are based on American interpretations (解释), so not all the body language here means the same in different cultures.‎ A Cold Shoulder Is Really Cold      I was meeting a friend and her husband. We were discussing our business. When the husband brought up an annoying topic that my friend didn’t want to discuss, she unknowingly turned her shoulder away from her husband. She didn’t notice what she had done, but he got the message and changed the topic.‎ An Eye for an Eye      In the US, we expect people to look us in the eyes when they are talking to us. In a crowded elevator or on the street, someone that makes eye contact with you wants to start a conversation with you. If you are talking and don’t want to be interrupted (打断), look away at the end of a sentence. Eye movements help you control a conversation. On the other hand, if you want to talk and the speaker doesn’t give you the chance, stare at him and fix your eyes on him for a while. He will stop talking and let you speak.‎ You’ve Got to Hand It to Them      Prince Charles often stands with his hands held together behind his back.

Career women are healthier than housewives. Evidence shows that the jobless are in poorer health than jobholders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, the death rate increases by 2%. All this comes down to one point,‎ ‎ work is helpful to health.‎ Why is work good for health? It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill.‎ Besides, work gives one a sense of fulfillment and a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words.‎ From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life. ‎ ‎32. The underlined word “average” in Paragraph 1 means ______. ‎ A. healthy   B. lazy   C. ordinary  D. poor ‎ ‎33.

The best title for this passage may be _____. ‎ A.  People Should Find a Job B.  Working Hard Is Good for Health C.  People Should Make More Friends by Work D. The Loss of Work Means the Loss of Everything 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。‎ E Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often: ability, money and time, __36 Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:‎ ‎1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37 ‎ ‎2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 It takes around the same amount（量） of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.‎ ‎3. 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation（实验）. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes (食谱) that can work well with your appetite (食欲) and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.‎ Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 And don’t let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!‎ A. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden (负担).‎ B. Make three or four instead.‎ C. Ability is easily improved.‎ D. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.‎ E. Cooking is a burden for many people.‎ ‎ F. Try new things.‎ ‎ G. Understand your food better.‎ 第二部分 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Making friends is a skill．Like most skills, it 41 patience(耐心)．If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to 42 some action．You must first go where there are people．You won’t make friends staying home 43 ．‎ ‎ Joining a club or group, talking to those who like the same things 44 you do is much easier．Or join someone 45 some activity．‎ ‎ Many people are 46 when talking to new people． 47 all, meeting strangers means seeing the unknown．And it’s human nature to feel a bit 48 about the unknown．Most of fears about 49 new people come from doubts about 50 ．We imagine other people are 51 us——finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that． But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way．Try to accept yourself 52 you are, and try to put the other at ease．You’ll both feel more comfortable．‎ ‎ Try to act self-confident(自信) even 53 you don’t feel that way when you 54 a room full of strangers．Walk tall and straight, look at other people directly and __55_．‎ ‎ If you see someone you’d like to 56 , say something．Don’t wait for 57 person to start a talk．‎ ‎ Just meeting someone 58 does not mean that you’ll make friends with that person． 59 is based on mutual(相互的) likings and “give and take”．It takes time to __60__ friendship.‎ ‎41.A．costs B．needs C．spends D．wants ‎42.
