In our first game of the season, we were 31 to face a good team, all of whom were tall guys. Naturally, at my 32 , it would have been easy to be 33 by our competitors. On game day, my basketball coach called me over to him. He was a strong and tough coach, and in his 34 rough manner said, “Joel, you’re not that 35 , but let me tell you that size doesn’t matter. Don’t be afraid. What 36 is right down in here.” He pointed his finger at his 37 as he continued, “Joel, you’ve got a big heart, and you’re to 38 it this year.” When I heard the coach’s 39 , I stood taller than usual! I thought to myself: The coach believes in me! My confidence 40 and I played better that year than I’d ever done before. It’s 41 what we can achieve when we know somebody really believes in us. That coach took a little time to make a big 42 . He took time to make me confident in myself. If we’re going to 43 the best in people, we need to sow seeds of 44 . As the saying goes, “Love looks for a way of being constructive.” 45 , love looks for ways to help improve somebody else’s life. When people are 46 us, they should leave better off than they were before. People should feel 47 and inspired after spending any time with you and me 48 feeling discouraged or defeated. Remember, there’s 49 greater investment(投资)in life than in being a people builder. Relationships 50 much more to us than our achievements. 1.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Michael, a typical American, stays home on workdays. He plugs into his personal computer terminal in order to connect with the office. After work, he puts on his headphones, watches a movie on his home video recorder, or plays baseball on the computer. On many days, Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings, and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television. Michael is imaginary, but his life style is very possible. The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings. The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us. Experts say, for example, that many people will soon be able to work at home. With access to a large central computer, employees such as office clerks, insurance agents, and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes. They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with. In addition, the way employees are paid will change. Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts, making paper checks unnecessary. No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their check. Personal banking will change, too. Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts. Another area that technology is changing is entertainment. Music, for instance, was once a group experience. People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings. For many people now, however, music is an individual experience. Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms, they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them. Movie entertainment is changing, too. Movies used to be social events. Now fewer people are going out to see a movie. Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home. Instead of laughing with others, viewers watch movies in their own living rooms. 1.After work, Michael likes to ________.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
3.The sentence “Michael is imaginary, but his lifestyle is very possible” means ________.
4.What will the author most probably discuss after the last paragraph?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 An independent college claimed to have become the first school in England to make Chinese a compulsory (强制的) subject for its pupils. Richard Cairns, the headmaster of Brighton College, said the move aims to recognize the importance of China as the world’s fastest growing economy. Chinese will become one of the core subjects at the 1,200-pupil college from September. At present the school has only a “handful” of native Chinese students, but it hopes to attract more in the future. Mr Cairns, who made the announcement in his first week as head of the high-achieving college, said, “One of my key tasks is to make sure that the pupils at Brighton College are equipped for the realities of the 21st century, and one of those realities is that China has the fastest growing economy in the world. “China has replaced Britain as the world’s fourth-largest economy. We in Britain need to face up to this challenge, see it for the trading opportunity that it is, and ensure that our nation’s children are well-placed to thrive (茁壮成长) in this new global reality. “A better understanding of the language and culture of China will be hugely important to the advantage of the children of Brighton College.” Mr Cairns said he hoped the Chinese children already at the college would help and encourage their fellow pupils to learn their language. In order to lead the way, Mr Cairns, a historian from Oxford, plans to take part in the first Chinese class as a pupil. “I have agreed to join the first Chinese class as a pupil. I think it is the best way for me to show the pupils here how important I regard this new addition to our core subjects.” 1.The passage mainly tells us ________.
2.The college makes its students learn Chinese mainly because ________.
3.What is Mr Cairns’ attitude towards the development of China?
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A quarrel at home may result in you falling ill. Don’t laugh, it’s true. Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say. Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained. “We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems, in his recent research. The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA. Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too. Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick. We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said. 1.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?
2.According to Dr Ferrer, which of the following statements is TRUE?
3.The underlined word “coma” in Paragraph2 probably means ________.
4.The best title for this passage is ________.
