crowds were never bigger for a homegrown sports hero than they were a quarter century ago for Ray Hall But his athletic achievements as impressive as they are are to my mind not what is most admirable about the man Known as Sugar Ray in his teens Hall was rated among the country s top 25 high school basketball players An inner city kid from a solid family Hall took on the challenge of lifting Canisius College still recovering from its failure back to respectability rejecting more favorable offers His status of a savior 救世主 brought more pressure than any 18 year old should have to handle however I watched him mature into the player who led Canisius back to daylight 用心 爱心 专心3 After college Hall played professionally in Italy and Greece for over 10 years until a car accident at 32 ended his basketball career The news that he would never play again shocked Hall but unlike so many others he was ready for life after basketball When I met Hall still fit at 46 for lunch Monday he wore a cut sharp gray suit designer tie and blazing white shirt that screamed success That was always the question when the cheers end where do you go Who do you turn to he said It starts and ends with that person in the mirror Hall got the concept of academics first from his parents He graduated from Canisius a semester early No matter how good of an athlete you are you are just one injury away from losing it all he said But if you take care of things academically you are prepared until you leave this earth For the past 14 years he has been in a computer sales job at Ingram Micro He married his college sweetheart They have three kids and a nice house in the suburbs He figured out early what others learn too late Athletics is part of a journey not the destination Congratulations Ray you made

to the playground C He enjoys a successful job and a happy family D He has gained impressive athletic achievements 28 What s the right order of the events related to Ray a He was ranked among the best high school basketball players b He was in a car accident c He graduated from Canisius College d He started his computer sales job e He gave up his athletic career A a c b e d B a c e b dC c a b d eD c a e b d 29 We can learn from the passage that A Ray was from an academic family B Ray was very mature in his teens C Ray was once desperate facing the cruel reality D athletics was not Ray s final goal in life 30 What was the writer s intention in writing this passage A To describe the difficulties of being a professional athlete B To explain the importance of choosing the right college 用心 爱心 专心4 C To emphasize the need for a good education D To warn against playing professional basketball B Ask most people how they define the American Dream and chances are they ll say Success The dream of individual opportunity has been home in America since Europeans discovered a new world in the Western Hemisphere Early immigrants like Hector St Jean de Crevecoeur praised highly the freedom and opportunity to be found in this new land His glowing descriptions of a classless society where anyone could attain success through honesty and hard work fired the imaginations of many European readers In Letters from an American Farmer 1782 he wrote We are all excited at the spirit of an industry which is unfettered 无拘无束的 and unrestrained because each person works for himself We have no princes for whom we toil 干苦力活 starve and bleed we are the most perfect society now existing in the world The promise of a land where the rewards of a man s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor drew poor immigrants from Europe and fueled national expansion into the western territories Our national mythology 神话 is full of illustration of the American success story There s Benjamin Franklin the very model of the self educated self made man who rose from modest origins to become a well known scientist philosopher and statesman In the nineteenth century Horatio Alger a writer of fiction for young boys became American s best selling author with rags to riches tales The notion of success haunts us we spend million every year reading about the rich and famous learning how to make a fortune in real estate with no money down and dressing for success The myth of success has even invaded our personal relationships today it s as important to be successful in marriage or parenthoods as it is to come out on top in business But dreams easily turn into nightmares Every American who hopes to make it also knows the fear of failure because the myth of success inevitably implies comparison between the haves and the have nots the stars and the anonymous crowd Under pressure of the myth we become indulged 沉溺 in status symbols we try to live in the right neighborhoods wear the right clothes eat the right foods These symbols of distinction assure us and others that we believe strongly in the fundamental equality of all yet strive as hard as we can to separate ourselves from our fellow citizens 31 What is the essence 本质 of the American Dream according to Crevecoeur A People are free to develop their power of imagination B People who are honest and work hard can succeed C People are free from exploitation and oppression D People can fully enjoy individual freedom 32 By saying the rewards of a man s industry follow with equal steps the progress of his labor the author means A the more diligent one is the bigger his returns 用心 爱心 专心5 B laborious work ensures the growth of an industry C a man s business should be developed step by step D a company s success depends on its employees hard work 33 The characters described in Horatio Alger s novels are people who A succeeded in real estate investment B earned enormous fortunes by chances C became wealthy after starting life very poor D became famous despite their modest origins 34 It can be inferred from the last sentence of the second paragraph that A business success often contributes to a successful marriage B Americans wish to succeed in every aspect of life C good personal relationships lead to business success D successful business people provide good care for their children 35 What is the paradox 矛盾 of American culture according to the author A The American road to success is full of nightmares B Status symbols are not a real indicator of a person s wealth C The American Dream is nothing but an empty dream D What Americans strive after often disagrees with their beliefs C Researchers have established that when people are mentally engaged biochemical changes occur in the brain that allow it to act more effectively in cognitive 认知的 areas such as attention and memory This is true regardless of age People will be alert and receptive if they are faced with information that gets them to think about things they are interested in And someone with a history of doing more rather than less will go into old age more cognitively sound than someone who has not had an active mind Many experts are so convinced of the benefits of challenging in the brain that they are putting the theory to work in their own lives The idea is not necessarily to learn to memorize large amounts of information says James Fozard associate director of the National Institute of Ageing Most of us don t need that kind of skill Such specific training is of less interest than being able to maintain mental alertness Fozard and others say they challenge their brains with different mental skills both because they enjoy them and because they are sure that their range of activities will help the way their brains work Gene Cohen acting director of the same institute suggests that people in their old age should engage in mental and physical activities individually as well as in groups Cohen says that we are frequently advised to keep physically active as we age but older people need to keep mentally active as well Those who do are more likely to maintain their intellectual abilities and to be generally happier and better adjusted The point is you need to do both Cohen says Intellectual activity actually influences brain cell health and 用心 爱心 专心6 size 36 What is the passage mainly about A Special mental training for old people B Biochemical changes in the human brain C The influence of intellectual activities on brain cell size D The importance of mental activities in the efficiency of the brain 37 A person who is said to be cognitively healthy should A be alert and receptive in mind B who are highly intelligent C be good at doing group work D remember large quantities of information 38 The findings of James and other scientists in their work A remain a theory to be further proved B have been challenged by many other experts C are practised by the researchers themselves D have been generally accepted 39 According to Fozard s argument people can make their brains work more efficiently by A constantly doing memory work B making frequent adjustments C going through specific training D taking part in various mental activities 40 Which of the following statements would Cohen most probably support A Older people should keep mentally active by challenging their brains B No matter whether it is done in group or alone mental activity is always good for brain cell health C Physical strength is more important to older people than mental health D People who engage in more mental activities but less physical ones are always happier D One reaction to all the concern about tropical deforestation 砍伐森林 is a blank stare that asks the question Since I don t live there what does it have to do with me The answer is that your way of life wherever you live in the world is tied to the tropics in many ways If you live in a house wash your hair eat fruits and vegetables drink soda or drive a car you can be certain that you are affected by the loss of tropical forests Biologically we are losing the richest regions on earth when each minute a piece of tropical forest the size of ten city blocks disappears As many as five million species of plants animals and insects 40 to 50 percent of all living things live there and are being lost faster than they can be found and described Their loss is immeasurable Take rubber for example For many uses only natural rubber from trees will do Synthetics are not good enough Today over half the world s commercial rubber is produced in Malaysia and Indonesia while the Amazon s rubber 用心 爱心 专心7 industry produces much of the world s four million tons And rubber is an important material in making gloves balloons footwear and many sporting goods Thousands of other tropical plants are valuable for their industrial use Many scientists strongly believe that deforestation contributes to the greenhouse effect or heating of the earth from increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere As we destroy forests we lose their ability to change carbon dioxide into oxygen Carbon dioxide levels could double within the next half century warming the earth by as much as 4 5 degrees The result A partial melt down of polar ice caps raising sea levels as much as 24 feet even 15 feet could threaten anyone living within 35 miles of the coast Unbelievable Maybe But scientists warn that by the time we realise the severe effects of tropical deforestation it will be 20 years too late Can tropical deforestation affect our everyday lives Now you should have got the answer 41 The underlined word synthetics probably means A natural rubber B tropical materials C man made material D commercial rubber 42 In the last paragraph the author tries to A tell people how to avoid the tropical deforestation B persuade people to buy something synthetic C show us how important it is to protect the tropical forests D let people realise the effect of tropical deforestation 43 According to the passage which of the following is NOT true A The forests are losing their function in turning carbon dioxide into oxygen B Many of our daily uses are related to the tropical forests C Tropical plants can be used to make industrial products D High carbon dioxide levels will make the earth warmer 44 The author s attitude towards the tropical deforestation is A puzzling B cold C supporting D opposed 45 Which of the following might be the best title for the passage A Tropical Forests B The value of Tropical Forests C Tropical Forests and Our Life D The Greenhouse Effects Worldwide 第二节第二节 信息匹配信息匹配 共共 5 5 小题小题 每小题每小题 2 2 分分 满分满分 1010 分分 下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息 请阅读下列应用文及其相关信息 并按照要下面是一篇应用文及其应用场合的信息
