Having volunteered as assistant coaches for younger teams in the club in previous years, the boys felt they could have a positive impact on the munity. They then created the Bay Area Basketball Academy.

I lost my voice the first time.”Another big challenge is finding the time.“All of us can find three hours, Gene Wang said. “But its difficult to find three hours where were all free together.”“So we have to plan ahead of time. It involves a lot of munication and teaches us about teamwork, Yuan added.The coaches gather to discuss their format (形式) for the drills (训练) and figure out who will coach each group of kids.“There can be a big skill gap,” Wang said. “Some kids have been playing basketball a long time. There are also a lot of other kids who have never played basketball before. So youve got to keep in mind that therere many different skill levels and you have to adapt to every single one.The six coaches have learned a lot from this project. “It made us realize that we all like to help people,” Wang said.24.

I knew I had to take it!”“It was huge, powerful and beautiful painting and I said to myself, It is wrong to be in the garbage, Gibson told Reuters on Tuesday.Gibson, who had hung up the painting after her discovery, said she learned of its worth when research led her to the Website of “Antiques Roadshow FYI,” a panion program to the PBS show “Antiques Roadshow.”Sothebys expert August Urible had featured the painting on Antiques Roadshow FYI after it was stolen more than 20 years ago.“Tres Personajes” was returned to its owners, who wish to remain anonymous(匿名的), and is expected to fetch between $750 000 and $1 million when Sothebys auctions it on November 20.If Gibson had not acted so quickly after spying the painting, it might have been lost forever. A doorman nearby later told her that garbage collectors had e along just twenty minutes after she had left with her new finding.28.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Masterpiece Found In Trash B. A Lucky Woman Got a Reward.C. Treasure Returned by Noble - minded Woman.D. Got Rich Overnight.29. What do we know about “Tres Personajes” from the passage”?A. It was hidden in the trash by the thief.B. It was worth nothing when it was first painted.C. It was stolen from the painter.D. It was a small painting.30.

When Gibson said “immediately knew I had to go back.”, she really means that .A. she knew it was a great artistic workB. she knew it would be taken away by the garbage collectorsC. she wanted to check out what it really wasD. she sensed it was something of valueDThe phone makers own scientists say that cell phones can disrupt sleeping patterns, causing headaches and depression!The study was carried out by scientists from the blue-chip Karolinska Institute and Uppsala University in Sweden as well as Wayne State University in Michigan,US. This study is the most prehensive (广泛的) of its kind, and was funded by the cell phone industry.This new research suggests that the radiation from mobile phones can delay and reduce sleep cycles, and causes other problems as well. The fact that the study was funded by the mobile phone panies themselves, makes it unlikely that the risks are being exaggerated (夸张).The scientists who did the study found that using the mobile phones before bed causes people to take longer to reach the deeper stages of sleep and to spend less time in them, interfering with the bodys ability to repair itself.These findings are especially meaningful in light of the fact that most children and teenagers, according to surveys, often use their phones late in the evening before and after getting into bed. Failure to get enough sleep can lead to mood and personality changes.Not surprisingly, the worried Mobile Manufacturers Forum played down the results, insisting that-in spite of the clear conclusion of the thoroughly conducted study that they themselves funded-the “results were inconclusive (不确定的)”.But Professor Bengt Arnetz, who led the study, says, “We did find an effect from mobile phones from exposure that were realistic. This suggests that they have measurable effects on the brain.” He believes that the radiation may activate the brains stress system, “making people more focused and decreasing their ability to wind down and fall asleep.”32. Why does the author think the risk cant be exaggerated?A. Because it is supported by mobile panies.B. Because it was carried out by famous scientists.C. Because it was monitored by many people.D. Because it was based on science facts.33. Researchers found that using mobiles before bed .A. can cause headachesB. can make a person sleeplessC. affects peoples sleep qualityD. makes body repair itself quickly34. Which of the following people are more likely to have mood change?A. People who do mental labour.B. Children and young people.C. Older people.D. Middle aged people.35. From the passage we can know Bengt Arnetz thinks .A. more researches should be done to prove the resultB. radiation sometimes can make people work hardC. the effect from mobile on brain is limited D. radiation from mobile affects sleep第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you happy with your appearance? 36 “Almost all the girls with single-fold eyelids (单眼皮) in our class have had double eyelid operations,” Zeng, a Senior 2 student from Chengdu, told Xinhua. Zeng had the same surgery done this summer. 37 From popular photo-editing apps to plastic surgery (整容), it seems that large eyes, pale skin and a skinny body are the only standard for beauty these days. But can following this standard really make us feel good about ourselves? 38 According to Huxiu News, over six in 10 girls choose not to take part in certain daily activities, such as attending school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers avoid speaking up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.Many teenagers are upset about their appearance because they believe in unrealistic standards of beauty, experts say. 39 Seeing all these things can make anyone believe that theyre too dark, too fat, too short, or too tall.However, trying to live up to strict standards can make us feel anxious. What troubles us is not just our “imperfect” looks, but the fact that we criticize ourselves too much. 40 Plus-size models are being featured in some fashion shows.
