12、项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。AFebruary 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lins background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But whe
13、n 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.Lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lins father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport
14、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 scholarsh
15、ip. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.During Lins 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 offer
16、ed 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
17、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 opportun
18、ity 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 Linsa
19、nity (林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World, Jeremy Lin included.

23、graduates from Harvard University.B. Lin got an easy entry into NBA.C. Lin didnt show his basketball talents in Harvard University.D. Lin didnt have a smooth road in NBA.BAdvice to English learners Learners of English, especially self-taught learners may have trouble in understanding speeches by nat
24、ive 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 o
25、ne. Secondly, stick to one course of study. Dont 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
26、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 o
27、f advice to learners of English in how to_.A. improve their listening ability B. read fastC. write better English and read fast D. speak correctly32. If you want to understand the English news programme on the radio, you should_.A. read the Chinese-language newspaper carefullyB. read again and again

In this passage, VOA stands for_.A. a book B. a magazine C. a textbook D. a radio stationCIts really true what people say abou
30、t English politeness: its 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 unavoida
31、ble, 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 s
32、omething 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
33、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 b
34、ut 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 wom
35、en 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 authors attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He thinks little of it.C.
36、He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far.37. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The author thinks its 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 t
37、hink 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 fightingB. are as generous as EnglishmenC. treat women in a polite wayD. are unwilling to spend money for women39. Which of the follow
38、ing 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 poli
39、te than Englishmen.40. The author develops the text through the method ofA. making comparisons B. telling storiesC. giving comments D. giving reasons/examplesDEvery hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests.

40、or 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 stu
41、dy 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
42、 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, t
43、he 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
44、 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.Englands Chief Medical Officer, Sally Davies, said: Physical activity offers huge bene
45、fits 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 thatA. whether you watch TV or not has nothing to do with how long yo
