But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy askedHe ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast.

Rios police officers have to keep a clear headFollowing the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week，the Brazilian Government has tightened security（防御） in RioThe street fighting，robbery and sex crimes that accompany(伴随) the carnival are very difficult to police Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves，in honor of the citys founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolfBrazil gave new life to this tradition and so despite（不管） the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the countrys culture( ) 29According to the passage, during the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCEPT_A. dancing in the streets B. putting on colorful clothesC. eating a lot of food D. holding exciting parades( ) 30How long does the carnival last?A .Six days B .A whole week C.

The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for discussion.Bryant wore No 24 when he was in early high school, but he changed to No 33 in his senior year. He switched to No 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996,and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs（季后赛）.So guessing Bryants purpose has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnists（专栏作家）.There are all kinds of guesses. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start .He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous for his No 23 jersey（运动衫）.Some, such as NBC Sport columnist Michael Ventre, argue that it is all about money .Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun .For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard（非常执著的）fan of the popular TV drama 24.All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss（大惊小怪）over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special meaning in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number when they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent（到某种程度）, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus when you see the famous No 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille ONeal, and the Houston Rockets No 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players jersey number choices. Jordan said that he chose No 23 because it was roughly half of 45.Jordans elder brother wore the No 45 in college. Yao Ming once said that the No 11 stands for two people in love-meaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.( ) 33.How long has Bryant been wearing No 8?A. Since he started to play basketball B. For ten seasons.C. Since he entered high school. D. Since he left the Lakers.( ) 34.Which of the following is NOT a guess about Bryants motive to change his number, according to this passage?A. He wants to leave his past behind and have a fresh start.B. He wants to compare himself to Jordan.C. He wants to earn more money.D. He wants to show that he is a man of great importance.( ) 35.Why did Jordan choose No 23?A. Because that number would make him famous.B. Because that number would make his fans miss him.C. Because that number was related to the number his brother once wore.D. Because that number was easy to remember.第二节 阅读下面的短文，从所给的A-G 七个选项中选出五个正确的选项填空，使短文通顺、结构完整。（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color, according to study in Germany. 36 they believe that red could make individuals(个人) and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived（感觉到） by others as more aggressive（积极的）. 37 On the other hand, the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confident.The study, by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster, was reported in New Scientist magazine. They showed video recording of taekwondo（跆拳道） matches to 42 experienced referees（裁判）. One fighter wore blue and the other wore red. They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated（操纵） the clothing to exchange the colors. 38 “If one competitor is strong and the other is weak, it wont change the result of the fight,” said Norbert Hagemann, who led the study. “39 ” In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness. They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing, taekwondo, and freestyle wrestling（摔跤） and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red.“ 40 ”said Robert Burton, one of the researchers.A. It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy, danger, strength, power, and determination.B. The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13 percent more points than when they wore blue.C. The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, sell successfully.D. It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident, although this hasnt yet been tested.E. Researchers found that those who wear red tops, jackets or clothing score 10 percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.F. The findings could explain why Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful. G.But the closer the levels, the easier it is for the color to tip（倾斜） the scale（天平）.第三部分 英语知识运用 （共两节，满分25分）第一节 完形填空 （共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分） The world of the out-of-doors is full of secrets.
