During the winter of 18911892, Dr. James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season. He attached fruit baskets overhead on the wall at opposite ends of the gymnasium. He organized nine-man teams to play his new game, using a soccer ball. What the players did was to throw the ball into one basket and keep the other team from tossing the ball into the opposite basket. There have since been many changes in the rules. For example, the number of players on a team has been reduced to 5. But the game is basically the same today. Americans introduced it to the Philippines in 1900 and to Europe during World War I. Being adopted by foreign countries, it soon became a worldwide sport. It is interesting that although basketball was creaed as an indoor game, in countries other than the United States, it is now played almost entirely outdoors.1. When did basketball start?A) In the early 18th century.B) In the early 19th century.C) In the late 19th century.D) In the late 18th century.2. For what purpose was the game of basketball invented?A) To provide exercise for the students who dont play football.B) To provide exercise for the students who dont play baseball.C) To provide exercise played in between the football and baseball season.D) To provide exercise played at the opening of the baseball season.3.

When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say, “Its cool.” You may think, “Hes so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer. We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one students paper was just the one sentence, “Its so cool.” Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt. But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility (可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.1. We know that the word “cool” has had _.A) only one meaningB) no meaningsC) many different meaningsD) the same meaning2. In the passage, the word “express” means _.A) seeB) showC) knowD) feel3.

In the passage, the writer suggests that the word “cool”_.A) cannot be replaced by other wordsB) usually means something interestingC) can make your life colorfulD) shouldnt be overused Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons. A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasnt a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate. Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels. Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonalds and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.1.

Many people dont like to carry much cash. For them the cards are convenient and safe to use. Credit cards are gaining popularity, even for buying small items. They are accepted almost everywhere, though not at fast food restaurants. A credit card enables the cardholder to buy things now and pay for them later. The cardholders get credit by promising to pay in the future for something they receive in the present. When the cardholder uses a credit card, the credit card company that issued the credit card pays the store. Later, a bill will be mailed to the cardholder by the credit card company for the amount he/she purchased. And finally, the cardholder then repays the company for the entire credit amount that he/she has used, by paying it back fully or through regular monthly payments. In case the cardholder fails to payback the entire balance, the bank can lawfully charge him/her with an interest fee on the unpaid amount.1.

What is the advantage of a credit card?A) The more the cardholder buys, the better his/her credit is.B) When the cardholder does not have the money, he/she can still buy things.C) C. Since the credit card company sometimes pays the store, the cardholders do not have to pay at all.D) The credit card is accepted in fast food restaurants.4. 9.
