After high school, Lin sent his resume(简历) and a DVD of highlights to all the Ivy League schoo
30、ls, and his dream schools Stanford and UCLA. Harvard and Brown were the only schools that guaranteed him a spot on their basketball teams, but Ivy League schools do not offer athletic scholarships.After graduating from Harvard University, Lin went undrafted in the 2010 NBA Draft . Lin spent his firs
31、t season with his hometown the Golden State Warriors. He saw limited minutes with the Warriors, but was cheered in arenas(比赛场) around the country, particularly in cities with large Asian communities, as fans came out in crowds to cheer their homegrown star. In late 2011, Lin spent less than two week
32、s with the Houston Rockets, moving to the New York Knicks at the very end of the year.He has made several trips to the NBAs Development League, a minor league for players who show promise but need seasoning before they can compete at the highest level. It appears to have paid off. In February 2012,
33、after keying the Knicks victory over New Jersey, Lin was named the starter for the Utah game, a position he appears to have a hold on in the short term, as Baron Davis, who signed in December to play the position, stays on the disabled list. Lin will likely get stronger the more minutes he plays, an
34、d even if Davis returns, spelling the older, recovering player could be productive for Lin: a proven good student who can learn a lot from practicing against a veteran.Without the services of All-Stars Carmelo and Amare, Lin led New York to a 4-0 record last week. He became the first player in NBA h
35、istory to record at least 20 points and seven assists in each of his first four starts, which generated a global following known as Linsanity.

38、n and New York KnicksBPresident Obama: I want to welcome Vice President Xi to the Oval Office and welcome him to the United States. This is obviously a great opportunity for us to build on the U. S.-China relationship, but also an opportunity to return the extraordinary hospitality that Vice Preside
39、nt Xi showed Vice President Biden during his recent visit to China.As I indicated during my recent visit to APEC and the East Asia Summit, the United States is a Pacific nation. And we are very interested and very focused on continuing to strengthen our relationships, to enhance our trade and our co
40、mmerce, and make sure that we are a strong and effective partner with the Asia Pacific region. And obviously, in order to do that, it is absolutely vital that we have a strong relationship with China.So, Mr. Vice President, I hope you have a wonderful visit while youre here. Im sure the American peo
41、ple welcome you. Im glad that youre going to get an opportunity to get out of Washington. I know youll be visiting Lowa, which you visited many years ago when you were governor.

45、ould tell us that physically active children may be more likely to become active and healthy adults. In the United States, elementary and middle schools are advised to give students two and a half hours of physical activity a week. That is what the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
46、American Heart Association recommend. They say high schools should provide about four hours of physical activity each week.Yet many schools across the country have reduced their physical education programs. Just this week, a study reported that life expectancy has fallen or is no longer increasing i
47、n some parts of the United States. The situation is worst among poor people in the southern states, and especially women. Public health researchers say it is largely the result of increases in fatness, smoking and high blood pressure. They also blame differences in health services around the country
48、.In 2006, a study found that only four percent of primary schools provided daily physical education all year for all grades. This was true of eight percent of middle schools and two percent of high schools. The study also found that twenty-two percent of all schools did not require students to take
49、any P.E.Charlene Burgeson , a health expert says one problem for P.E. teachers is that schools are under pressure to put more time into academic subjects. Also, parents may agree that children need exercise in school. Yet many parents today still have bad memories of being chosen last for teams beca
50、use teachers favored the good athletes in class.But experts say P.E. classes have changed. They say the goal has moved away from competition and toward personal performance, as a way to build a lifetime of activity. These days, teachers often lead activities like weight training and yoga.Some parent
51、s like the idea of avoiding competitive sports in P.E. class. Yet others surely dislike that idea. In the end, schools may find themselves in a no-win situation.67. The underlined word “expectancy” in Paragraph 3 probably means “ ” A. quality B. length C. exception D. depth 68. According to the pass
52、age which of the following may not lead to poor health? A. Fatness. B. Smoking C. High blood pressure. D. Health service 69. What can be inferred after you read this passage? A. Physical activities are becoming more and more popular in American schools.B. All the schools provided daily physical educ
53、ation all year for all students.C. Parents think children need physical education for their bad memories.D. Students spent less time on physical education for academic pressure. 70. What is the main idea about this passage?A. P.E. is the most important subject for all students.B. P.E has changed its
54、 goal for some reasons in America.C. It introduces us the present situation of P.E in American schools and its cause.D. P.E can help students improve their academic subjects.D A student walks into his first class and realizes he forgot all about the midterm exam. He knows he needs to bring his grade
55、s up, and getting a zero will make it nearly impossible. He quickly jots down some notes and shoves them under his lap hoping it will help him pass. Cheating is a major concern in all academic environments. Students are creating new and more outrageous(令人吃惊的) ways of cheating every day; some claim t
56、hat certain accounts of cheating can be justified, but overall it can always be prevented. Cheating has been around forever, and millions of ways to cheat have been fashioned. Copying homework and cheat sheets are some of the most basic ways students in all education levels have cheated. Some studen
57、ts think nothing about writing a few answers on their hand, in a gum wrapper, or boldly using a study guide to cheat. Desperate students have even gone as far as to steal the test or scan in bottle wrappers and put answers into the nutrition label. The internet has now become available in almost eve
58、ry location. Computers can be accessed at school, at home, and now even on cell phones. This opens a doorway for even more methods of cheating to be born. There are countless opinions on whether or not cheating can be justified. The truth is this behavior will always be a matter of opinion with each
59、 scenario of cheating. Students often rationalize their cheating by claiming they forgot to look over the material or did not understand what the teacher or professor was saying. Some may counter these arguments by saying that the student could have set reminders or asked the teacher to explain the
60、material before the day of the test. Some other reasons students believe cheating is justified are their heavy workloads and trying to find time for school, sports, friends, and family. This may be true in certain instances, however, all students have these problems, and it is unfair to the students
61、 refrain(制止) from cheating when the student who is dishonest receives a better grade. The majority of students who think cheating is acceptable may believe the reason for this is that sometimes students are unaware they are cheating, there is not enough time given for assignments, or that the inform
62、ation is too much for the course. It may be difficult to accomplish, but cheating can be prevented. Teachers and professors have tried many options to stop cheating. These options can range anywhere from simply spreading test-takers out in a room, to expelling(驱逐) a student, which will most likely h
63、inder their plans of getting into another college. One simple way to fix the problem is to scold the student when caught. They may be so scared or embarrassed that they never do it again. This is a risky way to prevent cheating in some cases, however, because it can possibly damage self-esteem. Anot
64、her simple way to avoid cheating is to create many different kinds of the same test. This prohibits students from getting the answers off of a neighbors test, but students still have the option of using other cheating tactics. There may be a million ways to cheat and get away with it, but there are
65、few times, if any, that it is justified. Cheating never has to be a necessity and is never worth compromising morals and losing years worth of working towards a degree. This problem is spreading throughout America; with everyones help, it can be stopped.71.Which is the best title of this passage?A.
66、To cheat or not to cheatB. Show your opinion on cheatingC. Debates on cheatingD. Different ways of cheating72.The second paragraph mainly tells us that _.A. cheating through the Internet is the most basic wayB. students who cheat in exams are clevererC. millions of ways to cheat have been fashionedD

Several factors contribute to the rise of temperature. First
81、of all, a lot of greenhouse gas is produced by cars and factories; further more, people burn a lot of coal and wood for their life; the loss of forests is another cause of global warming. Global warming will cause some harmful effects. In the first place, some islands will disappear because of the r
82、ise of sea level, and thus people of certain countries will have to look for new places to live. Extreme weather, will also result from global warming. When temperature rises, the production of crops will decrease, which directly endangers peoples lives. If the temperature keeps rising, some animals
83、 and plants will disappear from the planet, thus destroying the ecosystem. Facing such a threat, we should join efforts to cool the earth. For example, we can take a subway or bus to work instead of driving private cars to reduce greenhouse gas. All in all, we are supposed to remember its our respon
