He graduated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player.Lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lins 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.

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.

Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting(天气预报). For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. That many people feel their joints(关节) hurt is a sign of wet weather. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. If you see a rainbow during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in colour, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.28Which is true about weather forecasting? A. Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like. B. Weather forecasting is a report about the weather. C. Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain. D. People can change the weather forecasting. 29When you see the stars twinkle clearly at night, the weather will be _. A. clear and fine B. warm C. rainy D. cold30Which of the following signs can tell the weather will probably be rainy? A. Some birds fly high. B. A rainbow appears in the morning. C. The sunset is mostly red in colour. D. Fogs appear in the morning just above a river.31We must _ to make weather forecasting. A. use our eyes and brains B. study the weather hard C. read correctly the signs D. All of the above D Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenagers intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasnt alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer “Thats not a problem here.” Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just dont buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of Education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to colleges,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”But getting accurate information isnt easy. Colleges must report crime statistics （统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be obvious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nations leading campus safety watchdog group.To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.32The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August _.A. to express the opinions of many parentsB. to choose a right one for their daughterC. to check the cost of college education D. to find a right one near a large city33It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges _.A. receive too many visitors B. mirror the rest of the nationC. hide the truth of campus crime D. have too many watchdog groups34We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _.A. that are protected by campus security B. that report campus crimes by lawC. that are free from campus crime D. the enjoy very good publicity35What is the text mainly about? A. Exact campus crime statistics. B. Crimes on or around campuses.C. Effective solutions to campus crime.D. concerns about kids campus safety.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中的两项为多余选项。The “freshman fifteen”You may not have heard the words “freshman fifteen” before, but they are very important for students who are entering university. 36 “Fifteen” refers to fifteen pounds the fifteen pounds added to a students weight in his or her first year.
