Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.“Tiny” Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.“Magic” Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.“The Mailman” Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S.“Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.“The Iceman” George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in arelaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.21. Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?A. Nate Archibalds. B. Earvin Johnsons.C. Karl Malones. D. George Gervins.22. The underlined word “chagrin” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”.A. amazement B. annoyanceC. enthusiasm D. impatience23.

The authors purpose in writing the text is to _.A. uncover the secrets of NBA players successB. talk about how to give others a lovely nicknameC. introduce some NBA players and their nicknamesD. show how to become an excellent basketball playerB Did anyone ever greet you like this: “Kaltx. Ngaru lu fpom srak?” Probably not. These words mean “Hello. Are you well?” in Navi. And there are more sentences like “Nga zau ftu peseng? (Where do you come from?)”, “Fyape syaw fko ngar? (What are you called?)” and “Ngari solalew zst apolpxay? (How old are you?)”. The story begins with the movie, Avatar. James Cameron was the director. For this movie, he invented a world called Pandora, in which beautiful plants and amazing animals and nine-foot-tall blue aliens were created. These aliens were the Navi people. Cameron wanted one more thing: a special language for the Navi. Soon Cameron created about 30 words, but they werent enough. He needed help with the project, so he asked Paul Frommer, a professor at the University of Southern California, who studies languages. First, Frommer thought about the sounds. He chose 20 consonants (辅音) and 7 vowels (元音). These are sounds in English, too. Next, he created rules of grammar. For example, in Navi, the word order is not important. Finally, he created a vocabulary of about 1,000 words. He finished the project in six months. Then Frommer taught Navi to the actors. They had special language classes. Frommer also recorded the Navi language. The actors listened to it on their iPods. He translated four songs from English to Navi, too. He helped the singers with the pronunciation. Soon the film crew (工作人员) started to speak in Navi. Sometimes someone made a mistake. Then other people laughed and said, “Skxawng!” Today many people are learning Navi. There are Navi websites, dictionaries, and fan groups. The fans create new words, and the language grows. The Navi language now has a life of its own.25. What should you say if you want to know a Navi boys age?A. Nga zau ftu peseng? B. Fyape syaw fko ngar?C. Kaltx. Ngaru lu fpom srak?D. Ngari solalew zst apolpxay?26.

It is not easy to be an actor.C On January 27th, 2014, when Frank Almond, the concertmaster at Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, was nearing his car after a performance, he was shot down by a young guy. While Almond lay on the ground, that guy made away with .his violin. Luckily, the violin was recovered ten days later by the Milwaukee police. Almonds violin, which dates back to 1715, was actually made by Antonio Stradivari an Italian violin maker who lived in the 17th century and made nearly 1,000 violins in his lifetime. Around 650 of them still exist today and can fetch anywhere up to $5 million. This particular violin had many illustrious owners from Italian composer Giuseppe Tartini to Polish violinist Karol Lipinski who played it until 1861. Violins made by Antonio Stradivari are known for their richness and purity (纯净) of sound that are unmatched today. The present-day violin owes (将归功于) its design to Andrea Amati (1505-1577), who is widely recognized as the inventor and the earliest recorded violin maker. Cremona, a city of northern Italy, was the birthplace and seat of violin-making for nearly three centuries. While Amatis sons took over the business, it was his grandson Nicol Amati who perfected the instrument. Antonio Stradivaris early designs showed his training in the Amati workshops. During 1700-1725, known as his golden period, Stradivari improved on the soundbox design, and introduced an unusual deep red varnish (清漆), black edging, broad edges and wide corners. Until his very end, he watched over the final touches on every violin while his sons did the hard work of carving. Besides violins, there are a few cellos, violas and guitars to his credit. Another famous violin maker of Cremona was Giuseppe Guarneri whose grandfather was also a student worker in Nicol Amatis workshops. Guarneris creations are supposed to be even better both visually and in sound quality. Only a hundred survive today.29. After the performance, Frank Almond _.A. made a phone call to his sonB. was introduced to a young manC. couldnt find his car any moreD. was attacked and lost his violin 30. What can we learn about Frank Almonds violin?A. It has a history of about 300 years.B. It was made by Giuseppe Guarneri.C. It was a birthday gift from his father.D. It is in poor condition but sounds good.31. According to the text, Andrea Amati _.A. felt very disappointed in his grandsonB. made nearly 1,000 violins in his lifetimeC. was born in Cremona in the 17th century D. was a pioneer in the field of violin-making32. The last two paragraphs are mainly about _.A. improvements on violins B. the Amati workshopsC. ways to make a violin D. the history of violinsD Imagine if you had no feeling in your hands. Imagine holding a babys hand without knowing if you are hurting it or not. This is the problem many amputees (someone who have lost all or part of an arm or leg) face. Recently a team of scientists has come up with a bionic arm: one that allows an amputee to feel as if he is using his natural arm. Now the biggest difficulty lies in connecting it to the nerves. We experience feeling because of our nerves, which send electrical signals to our brains. When the arm is cut off and fitted with a prosthetic arm (假臂), the peripheral (末梢的) nerves can no longer send a signal to the brain. The lack of signals makes amputees unable to feel objects that they pick up. The most important aspect of the bionic arm is its connectivity to the nerves on the end of the arm. Sensors (传感器) on the bionic arm detect and receive signals from any object it comes into contact with. Then, a computer program created by the scientists transforms the signal into an impulse (脉冲) that can be translated by nerves. Wires (金属丝) from the sensors are connected to the nerves in the patient, allowing the signal to be sent to the brain. Early tests of the bionic arm have been successful, but it is not yet ready for wider use. The team of scientists wants to continue improving the instrument. An important advancement would be to make it easy to carry; it now works with many wires outside, preventing amputees from using it outside of the lab. In addition, the scientists want to improve sensitivity and the feeling of finger movements. Being the first prosthetic instrument to connect to the nerves, the bionic arm still needs to undergo further tests. So only time will tell if it will be the next breakthrough in prosthetics.33. As for how a bionic arm works, what is the right order?a. Nerves translate the impulse.b. A bionic arm touches an object.c. Signals are transformed into an impulse.d. Nerves send electrical signals to the brain.e. Sensors on the arm detect and receive signals.A. b, e, c, a, d B. b, a, e, c, dC. e, c, a, d, b D. e, d, a, c, b34. Whats the problem with the bionic arm?A. It takes a long time to make such an arm.B. It can be harmful to an amputees nerves.C. It is not easy to find suitable electric wires.D. It is not convenient for an amputee to carry.35. What would be the best title for the text?A. Bionic arm gives hope to amputeesB. Amputee treatment programsC. A brief history of prostheticsD. How do bionic arms work?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。选项中有两项为多余选项。Tips on buying outdoor solar lights As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets.
