A tourist map.‎ B With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer, Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks' dramatic reversed(扭转) victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.‎ The Knicks have won six games in a row, and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions. Although the season is still young, the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant. Lin, not team's high-paid stars, has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.‎ After nearly 15 years of disappointing, sometimes unsuccessful seasons, Madison Square Garden is alive again, and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks. To put things into perspective（角度）, consider this: Just several years back,‎ ‎ Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.‎ Now, Madison Square Garden Co. shares are at a record high, the Knicks' average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容), and jersey sales are increasing very quickly. I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem, and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.‎ Beyond the Knicks, Lin may be saving the NBA as well. Just a few months back, the NBA took a massive credibility（威信）hit during a multi-month lockout（停工）, where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels. As a consequence, the season did not even begin until Christmas Day. Over the past few years, LeBron James' (勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events, combined with poor play around the league, have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.‎ Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival. His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans, increased NBA sales in China, and turned the basketball world upside down. ‎ ‎25．The passage is mainly about______ .‎ A. why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin. ‎ B. why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks. ‎ C. how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great play off. ‎ D. how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks, probably including the NBA.‎ ‎26．According to the passage, Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following except___. ‎ A. The NBA B. Coach Isiah Thomas ‎ C. The Knicks D. Madison Square Garden Co.’s shares ‎ ‎27．The underlined word “young” in Paragraph 2 probably means "______".‎ A. not old yet. B. not completely grown. C. in the development D. in the early stage ‎ ‎28．The NBA suffered the credibility crisis months ago because____.‎ A. The NBA delayed the season because of players’ wage disagreements.‎ B. the NBA was disappointed at James’ free-agent event.‎ C. The NBA canceled the basketball match for the coming Christmas. ‎ D. James had a bad performance in the basketball court.‎ C What’s the biggest online shopping day in the world? Not Valentine’s Day. Not Cyber Monday or Black Friday. The winner is China’s Singles’ Day, celebrated on November11, or 11.11.‎ Singles’ Day began as a day for unmarried or uncoupled people to celebrate their lives. Single students, looking for an excuse to buy themselves presents, started it on November11,1993, reported The Guardian. It is symbolized by the four number ones in the date of November 11 and is also called Double Eleven, in reference to the day it was started, said the BBC. It became a major shopping day in 2009. The CEO of an online shopping site --Alibaba-- tried to increase sales at the e-commerce company. The CEO, Daniel Zhang, launched an annual online sale on that day, said Fortune. When it first began, “Singles’ Day was very much an offline comfort to actual single people,” noted the website atlas Obscura.” A small group of students at Nanjing‎ ‎University are said to have chosen 11.11 as a day that singles could do activities like karaoke together.”It quickly became a cultural phenomenon.‎ Last year, Alibaba sold more than $1 billion worth of products in the first three minutes of the sales, reported Bloomberg News. Total sales on Singles’ Day soared to $9 billion within 24 hours. That’s four times bigger than Cyber Monday in the U.S.‎, which is the Monday after Thanksgiving and traditionally a big shopping day. By comparison, online sales in the U.S.‎ last year on Black Friday were just $1.5 billion, reported TechCrunch.‎ Today, Singles’ Day is very successful. Analysts say that this year, sales on China’s Singles’ Day will increase to a new high. In the U.S.‎, Jennifer Wang, a co-founder of a company targeting Chinese-Americans, said, “We expect to have 3‎ ‎ million people coming to click Dealmoon for the Singles’ Day launch.” Some observers think Singles’ Day could catch on globally.‎ ‎29．How did the author introduce the topic of the passage?‎ A. By describing a holiday. B. By asking a question. C. By making a list. D. By telling a story ‎30．What’s the second paragraph mainly about?‎ A. How Singles’ Day came into being. B. Why Singles’ Day became popular.‎ C. When Singles’ Day was started. D. Who first celebrated Singles’ Day.‎ ‎31．Why did China’s Singles’ Day become a major shopping day?‎ A. Because singles celebrated their happy lives on November11.‎ B. Because students at Nanjing university took part in activities together.‎ C. Because an annual online sale was started on that day by Alibaba.‎ D. Because single students chose that day to buy themselves gifts.‎ ‎32．Which of the following can best replace the word “soared” in Paragraph3?‎ A. Increased sharply. B. Decreased quickly. C. Returned gradually. D. Appeared suddenly.‎ D You get anxious if there’s no wi-fi in the hotel or mobile phone signal up the mountain. You feel upset if your phone is getting low on power, and you secretly worry things will go wrong at work if you’re not there. All these can be called “always on” stress caused by smartphone addiction.‎ For some people, smartphones have freed them from the nine-to-five work. Flexible working has given them more autonomy (自主权) in their working lives and enabled them to spend more time with their friends and families. For many others, though, smartphones have become tyrants (暴君) in their pockets, never allowing them to turn them off, relax and recharge their batteries.‎ Pittsburgh-based developer Kevin Holesh was worried about how much he ‎ was ignoring his family and friends in favour of his iPhone. So he developed an app — Moment — to monitor his usage. The app enables users to see how much time they’re spending on the device and set up warnings if the usage limits are breached (突破). “Moment’s goal is to promote balance in your life,” his website explains. “Some time on your phone, some time off it enjoying your loving family and friends around you.”‎ Dr Christine Grant, a psychologist at Coventry‎ ‎University, said, “The effects of this ‘always on, culture are that your mind is never resting, and you’re not giving your body time to recover, so you’re always stressed. And the more tired and stressed we get, the more mistakes we make. Physical and mental health can suffer.”‎ And as the number of connected smartphones is increasing, so is the amount of data. This is leading to a sort of decision paralysis (瘫痪) and is creating more stress in the workplace because people have to receive a broader range of data and communications which are often difficult to manage. “It actually makes it more difficult to make decisions and many do less because they’re controlled by it all and feel they can never escape the office,” said Dr Christine Grant.‎ ‎33．What’s the first paragraph mainly about?‎ A. The popularity of smartphones. ‎ B. The signs of “always on” stress.‎ C. The progress of modern technology.‎ D. The cause of smartphone addiction.‎ ‎34．Kevin Holesh developed Moment to .‎ A. research how people use their mobile phones B. make people better use mobile phones C. increase the fun of using mobile phones D. help people control their use of mobile phones ‎35．What’s Dr Christine Grant’s attitude towards “always on” culture?‎ A. Confused. B. Positive.‎ C. Doubtful. D. Critical.‎ 第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, they become weak; when you start using again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this, and nobody would think of questioning the fact. 36 When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly, either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor , he really means that he does not give it enough opportunity to become strong. 37 One of them exercises his arms and legs by playing tennis, while the other sits in a chair or motor car all day.‎ If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. 38 , many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just his own fault. Not all of us can become extremely strong or extremely clever; but all of us can, if we have ordinary bodies and brains, improve our strength and our memory by the same means—practice.‎ Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have better memories than those who can? 39 Of course, because those who cannot read or write have to remember things; they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, time and prices, names, songs and stories; so their memory is the whole time being exercised.‎ ‎ 40 ，learn from the poor：practice remembering.‎ A. What do you think of it ?‎ B. Yet many people do not seem to know that the memory works in the same way.‎ C. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory D. So if you want a good memory E. When someone else says that he is poor in the health F. Why is this ?‎ G. The position is exactly the same as that of two people.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1．5分，满分30分）‎ I’m proud of myself for this kindness I did last night I did it _41__ and did the ‎ right thing.
