24、school team two weeks ago after watching Yao Ming in a televised NBA game, “The players will all be Chinese, like Yao.”To China, Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the worlds first basketball league closer to Chinese players. To the NBA, the 2.23-meter center offers an opening of a differ
25、ent sort into the worlds largest new market. Yaos NBA first appearance against the Indiana Pacers in October reached 287 million families in the US. That game might have been a bit of a letdown to Yaos fans: He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds and got no points. Comparing that with
26、 his performance on December 19, also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10rebounds. “This was one of the most exciting games Ive had,” Yao said after Houstons 95-83 victory. The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success. In all his games, hes averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, quite
27、 good for a new star. “Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,” said NBA spokeswoman Cheong Sau Ching, “That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese.”The 22-year-old Yao is not the countrys first player in the NBA: Wang Zhizhi broke down the Dalla

Middle school students want to play basketball.B. Yao Ming makes NBA closer to China.C. Therell be no Americans left in the NBA.D. There ar
31、e many new stars from China in the NBA.CThere are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think youll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you dont believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Th
32、ird, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a mans mind. S
33、o he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not.
34、Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官).According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and
35、 mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or youll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, youll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, youll feel you have been there for only an hou
36、r. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.( ) 46. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us _. A. a red box is heavier than a white one B. a color has weight in on
37、es mind C. white paper is lighter than red paper D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it ( ) 47. Why did the scientist say colors have smell? A. Because people can sense the light from colors. B. Because we can smell colors with our nose. C. Because every color has its own sweet smell. D
38、. Because every color can give off light of the same length.( ) 48. If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will _.A. riseB. fallC. stay the sameD. change now and then( ) 49. It can be implied from the text that _. A. colors have orders in weight B. colors can change t
39、he weight of an object C. people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD. colors can affect our mood and health( ) 50. This passage is probably a _. A. book review B. fiction novelC. fairy taleD. science reportDThe quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010
40、 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the citys population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai
41、s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”He said water saving will help kee
42、p the sustainable development of Chinas economy. Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the citys infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology. “The aim
43、 is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the citys drinkabl
44、e water, is nearing exhaustion.The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.At prese
45、nt, the city has 600，000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households at a cost of 40 Yuan each.In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which s
46、aves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage（污水）to improve the water environment.At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewa
47、ge treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.( ) 51People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _now.Athe undergroundBthe rainCthe Yangtze RiverDthe Huangpu River( ) 52According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using waterB
48、ecause _. .Athe renovating of family toilets will save plenty of waterBabout half of waste water has been treated alreadyCadvanced technology makes people use water as much as possibleDthere is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present( ) 53The authority is renovating the first 200 to
