He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.‎ ‎ Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.‎ ‎ In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.‎ ‎ During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history. ‎ ‎ When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.‎ ‎ At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.‎ ‎ But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4,‎ ‎ 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.‎ ‎ The Associated Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA". Knicks fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.‎ ‎ No doubt, Lin fever is continuing to spread if you haven't already caught "Linsanity", get ready.‎ ‎26. Which of the following elements is of little help in Lin's success?‎ ‎ A. his father's influence B. his devotion to basketball ‎ C. his years of hard work D. his graduation from Harvard University ‎27. What does the phrases "wore off" in seventh paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A. arose B. disappeared C. grew D. remained ‎28. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Lin learned to play basketball when he was eight.‎ ‎ B. Before Lin there was no Chinese-American NBA players.‎ ‎ C. Lin was excited for professional games and did a good job at the beginning.‎ ‎ D. Lin is the most outstanding player in NBA.‎ ‎29. Which is the right order for Lin's life?‎ ‎ a He made an excellent performance on Feb,4.‎ ‎ b He was fired by the Golden State Warriors.‎ ‎ c He was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.‎ ‎ d He graduated from Harvard University.‎ ‎ e He became famous overnight.‎ ‎ A. a, d, c, b, e B. d, b, c, a, a C. d, c, b, a, e D. a, e, d, c, b ‎30. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.‎ ‎ A. NBA prefers graduates from Harvard University.‎ ‎ B. Lin got an easy entry into NBA.‎ ‎ C. Lin didn't show his basketball talents in Harvard University.‎ ‎ D. Lin didn't have a smooth road in NBA.‎ B Advice to English learners ‎ Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by native speakers. The following ways might help improve their ability.‎ ‎ First of all, do things step by step. It is not good to listen to something beyond your level. Better choose a suitable course and start with the first book. Go on to the second book only after you are sure you understand the first one.‎ ‎ Secondly, stick to one course of study. Don’t change books often. Never let your attention be attracted by another course just because it seems to be more “ fashionable”(时髦). ‎ ‎ Thirdly, listen to the English news programme over the radio from time to time. Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first. That will make it easy for you to understand the English news on the radio.‎ ‎ Fourthly, if you have time, listen to some interesting stories in “special English” from the VOA or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.‎ ‎31. This is a piece of advice to learners of English in how to_____.‎ A. improve their listening ability B. read fast C. write better English and read fast D. speak correctly ‎32. If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_________.‎ A. read the Chinese-language newspaper carefully B. read again and again the Chinese-language newspaper C. go through the Chinese-language newspaper D. be able to recite the Chinese-language newspaper ‎33. “Beyond your level” means something_______.‎ A. easy for you B. too difficult for you C. not too easy and not too difficult for you D. just all right for you ‎ ‎34. The author advised that once you have taken up a course, you should_______.‎ A. stick to it B. begin with the last book C. take up other courses if you are more fashionable D. not do anything else ‎35. In this passage, VOA stands for______.‎ A. a book B. a magazine C. a textbook D. a radio station C ‎ It's really true what people say about English politeness: it's everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say "sorry". When getting off a bus, English passengers say "thank you" rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people in UK.‎ ‎ People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.‎ ‎ Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted.‎ ‎36. What is the author's attitude towards English politeness?‎ ‎ A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He thinks little of it.‎ ‎ C. He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far.‎ ‎37. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ ‎ A. The author thinks it's unnecessary to say "thank you" to the bus driver.‎ ‎ B. In Germany, employers often say "thank you" to employees for their job.‎ ‎ C. German men never treat a woman to dinner.‎ ‎ D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.‎ ‎38. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _______.‎ ‎ A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting ‎ B. are as generous as Englishmen ‎ C. treat women in a polite way ‎ D. are unwilling to spend money for women ‎39. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. English drivers often say "thank you" to passengers when they get off the bus.‎ ‎ B. In Germany, passengers sometimes say "thank you" to bus drivers.‎ ‎ C. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life.‎ ‎ D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen.‎ ‎40. The author develops the text through the method of ‎ A. making comparisons B. telling stories ‎ C. giving comments D. giving reasons/examples D Every hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years.‎ The research claims that a sedentary lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating.‎ The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved more than 11,000 people over the age of 25.‎ ‎ Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. "TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity."‎ ‎ The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, together with population and death rate data. ‎ ‎ But they said: "Although we used Australian data, the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar, considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns." In the United Kingdom, the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day, compared with five hours in the United States. ‎ ‎ Earlier this year, a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease, or dying early, rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box.‎ ‎ England's Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: "Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know - that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks. We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise."‎ ‎41. We can learn from the passage that ‎ A. whether you watch TV or not has nothing to do with how long you will live ‎ B. if an adult watches TV for six hours every day, he will die five years earlier ‎ C. physical inactivity and obesity won't shorten your life ‎ D. a sedentary lifestyle offers huge benefits.‎ ‎42. The word "it" in the second paragraph refers to ‎ A. a sedentary lifestyle B. eating C. smoking D. obesity ‎43. The passage implies that _______.‎ ‎ A. The longer one watches TV every day, the shorter he lives.‎ ‎ B. The conclusion of the study is unbelievable because it's based on American data.‎ ‎ C. Watching TV does greater harm to health than smoking and obesity ‎ D. Watching TV harms children as much as adults.‎ ‎44. What do we know from the last three paragraphs?‎ ‎ A. People in the United Kingdom watch TV longer than those in the United States.‎ ‎ B. That a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks isn't supported by other studies.‎ ‎ C. Watching TV for two hours a day will increase the risk of illnesses or dying early by 20%.‎ ‎ D. It is through these studies that we know a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks.‎ ‎45. The passage is intended to _______.‎ ‎ A. inform the readers of a research on watching TV ‎ B. warn the readers of the harm of watching TV and hope they do sports ‎ C. tell the readers watching TV is also a good way to relax ‎ D. tell the readers large amounts of people often watch TV 第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ ‎ 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。‎ ‎ 首先请阅读下列警方通报查找人员的信息：‎ 以下是相关事件及人物的描述，请把描述与相关插图及提示性文字匹配起来。‎ ‎46.

As the senior year is characterized by running a tight schedule on everyday basis, we students were loaded with heavy coursework, frequent quiz and exams, and pressured by our parents’ high expectations. Increasingly, I felt a need to consult with Mr. Xu on reducing the amount of our workload so that we could be given more time to digest what we had learned over the past couple years.‎ ‎　　Unlike some of the stern supervisors, Mr. Xu was open-minded and patient enough to allow me to raise the above argument. “Besides the study efficiency,” he added with a friendly simile, “I also concern for your morale and well-being. So don’t you worry; I’ll talk to other teachers and see what we can do to help the class decompress.” Thanks to his approval and consistent support, we systematically adjusted our pacing and stayed upbeat in preparation for the college entrance examination.‎ ‎　　A teacher can be influential in either positive or negative ways. In my observation, a good teacher can bring out the best of his students while a bad teacher may, regrettably, affect the young mind in most discouraging manners.‎
