player But when you watch him on the court there is no doubt that he belongs there He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice which is fueled by a love for basketball Lin s enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan When Lin s 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 However after his admission to Harvard he was offered a place on its college basketball team During Lin s time at Harvard his basketball career began to speed up He scored 1 482 points making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history When he graduated no professional teams offered Lin a contract but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors At first playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years But slowly the excitement worewore offoff and was replaced by anxiety 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 The Associated Press called Lin the most surprising story in the NBA Knicks fans developed the nickname for him Linsanity 林发疯 Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World Jeremy Lin included No doubt Lin fever is continuing to spread if you haven t already caught Linsanity get ready 26 Which of the following elements is of little help in Lin s success A his father s influence B his devotion to basketball C his years of hard work D his graduation from Harvard University 27 What does the phrases wore off in seventh paragraph probably mean A arose B disappeared C grew D remained 28 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage A Lin learned to play

NBA 用心 爱心 专心4 29 Which is the right order for Lin s life a He made an excellent performance on Feb 4 b He was fired by the Golden State Warriors c He was invited to play in the NBA Summer League d He graduated from Harvard University e He became famous overnight A a d c b e B d b c a a C d c b a e D a e d c b 30 It can be inferred from the passage that A NBA prefers graduates from Harvard University B Lin got an easy entry into NBA C Lin didn t show his basketball talents in Harvard University D Lin didn t have a smooth road in NBA B A firm handshake is key to interview success As any serious job hunter knows it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all important interview But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock 模拟 interviews with businesses As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance five handshake raters also marked them on their grasp strength duration vigor and eye contact Professor Greg Stewart from the University of Iowa who led the study said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers Students with wimpy shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts Professor Stewart said We ve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview We don t consciously remember a person s handshake but it is one of the first non verbal clues we get about the person s overall personality and that impression is what we remember Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men But when women did possess a firm handshake they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts Body language experts warn however that the firmness needs to be just right as an over enthusiastic bone crusher handshake can indicate self importance a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons 用心 爱心 专心5 31 The passage is probably intended for A job hunters B an undergraduate C employers D handshake raters 32 From the first paragraph we know that in an interview A dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake B smile has no effect on impressing potential employers C a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly and smile D dressing smartly smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance 33 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage A The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave B The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive C Generally speaking women shake hands less with others D It s said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe 34 Professor Greg Stewart probably disagrees that A a bone crusher handshake gives an unfavorable impression B the scores by the handshake raters were not related to the employment of the undergraduates C an undergraduate highly scored by the handshake raters was more likely to be hired D interviewers often decided whether to employ a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview 35 What is the main idea of the passage A Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men B A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake C Dressing smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview D Job interview success depends on interviewees body language C It s really true what people say about English politeness it s everywhere When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage people say sorry When getting off a bus English passengers say thank you rather than the driver In Germany people would never dream of doing these things After all squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable and the bus driver is only doing his job I used to think the same way without questioning it until I started traveling to the British Isles and here are some more polite ways of interacting 交往 with people in UK People thank each other everywhere in England all the time When people buy something in a shop customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more In Germany it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs as opposite to Germans who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough 用心 爱心 专心6 Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable This also is showed in other ways British men still open doors for women and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men However I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men Yes the latter are a bit tightfisted 36 What is the author s attitude towards English politeness A He thinks it is artificial B He thinks little of it C He appreciates it very much D He thinks it goes too far 37 What can be inferred from the passage A The author think it s unnecessary to say thank you to the bus driver B In Germany employers often say thank you to employees for their job C German men never treat a woman to dinner D Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough 38 We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men A are more likely to be involved in a fighting B are as generous as English men C treat women in a polite way D are unwilling to spend money for women 39 Which of the following statements is true according to the passage A English drivers often say thank you to passengers when they get off the bus B In Germany passengers sometimes say thank you to bus drivers C English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life D Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen 40 The author develops the text through the method of A making comparisons B telling stories C giving comments D giving reasons examples D Every hour spent in watching TV DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes a study suggests And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five years The research claims that a sedentary lifestyle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities itit offers for unhealthy eating The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television Their research involved more than 11 000 people over the age of 25 Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine they concluded TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life which is similar to other 用心 爱心 专心7 major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity The researchers from the University of Queensland used information from the Australian Diabetes Obesity and Lifestyle Study together with population and death rate data But they said Although we used Australian data the effects in other industrialized and developing countries are likely to be similar considering the large amounts of time spent watching TV and similarities in disease patterns In the United Kingdom the average amount of time spent watching TV is four hours a day compared with five hours in the United States Earlier this year a separate study suggested the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease or dying early rises by as much as 20 percent after just two hours a day in front of the box England s Chief Medical Officer Sally Davies said Physical activity offers huge benefits and these studies back what we already know that a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks We hope these studies will help more people realize that there are many ways to get exercise 41 We can learn from the passage that A whether you watch TV or not has nothing to do with how long you will live B if an adult watches TV for six hours every day he will die five yew earlier C physical inactivity and obesity won t shorten your life D a sedentary lifestyle offers huge benefits 42 The word it in the second paragraph refers to A a sedentary lifestyle B eating C smoking D obesity 43 The passage implies that A The longer one watches TV every day the shorter he lives B The conclusion of the study is unbelievable because it s based on American data C Watching TV does greater harm to health than smoking and obesity D Watching TV harms children as much as adults 44 What do we know from the last three paragraphs A People in the United Kingdom watch TV longer than those in the United States B That a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks isn t supported by other studies C Watching TV for two hours a day will increase the risk of illnesses or dying early by 20 D It is through these studies that we know a sedentary lifestyle carries additional risks 45 The passage is intended to A inform the readers of a research on watching TV B warn the readers of the harm of watching TV and hope they do sports C tell the readers watching TV is also a good way to relax 用心 爱心 专心8 D tell the readers large amounts of people often watch TV 第二节信息匹配 共 5 小题 每小题 2 分 满分 10 分 阅读下列应用文及相关信息 并按照要求匹配信息 请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应 选项字母涂黑 首先请阅读下列警方通报查找人员的信息
