When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名册) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010. The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,: said Stern. The strategy（战略）in China is television. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.”The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for more than 200 countries in 42 languages will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.“It doesnt matter where the players come from, al the NBA teams now know that they have to scout揽得(人才) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBAs vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers(同行). Others, such as the Houston Rockets Chinese center Yao Ming-number one draft pick in 2003 and the Detroit Pistons 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic-number two overall in this year s draft , are icons(偶像) in-waiting. It is the ultimate revolution-the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.21The underlined phrase “take China by storm”means that _A. NBA intends to make China its“marketing center”B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in ChinaC. Therell be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against China mens teamD. The NBAs live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China22What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?A. NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the leagueB. Chinas rapid development in sports affects NBAC. Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael JordanD. The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball23When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to _A. farms in the StatesB. native AmericansC. the NBA training centerD. the USA24Which of the following can be used as another good title for the passage?A. The Non-American Basketball Players B. NBA Is Coming to ChinaC. The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA D. NBA Is Making Great Progress BRecently I spoke to some of my students about what they wanted to do after they graduated, and what kind of job prospects they thought they had.Given that I teach students who are training to be doctors, I was surprised to find that most thought that they would not be able to get the jobs they wanted without “outside help”. “What kind of help is that?” I asked, expecting them to tell me that they would need a relative or family friend to help them out.“Surgery(外科手术)”, one replied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job. One girl told me that she was considering surgery to increase her height. “They break your legs, put in special extending screws, and slowly expand the gap between the two ends of the bone as it regrows, you can get at least 5cm taller!”At that point, I was shocked. I am short, I cant deny that, but I dont think I would put myself through months of agony(痛苦) just to be a few centimeters taller. I dont even bother to wear shoes with thick soles, as Im not trying to hide the fact that I am just not tall!It seems to me that there is a trend toward wanting “perfection”, and that is an ideal that just does not exist in reality.No one is born perfect, yet magazines, TV shows and movies present images of thin, tall, beautiful people as being the norm. Advertisements for slimming aids, beauty treatments and cosmetic surgery clinics fill the pages of newspapers, further creating an idea that “perfection” is a requirement, and that it must be purchased, no matter what the cost. In my opinion, skills, rather than appearance, should determine how successful a person is in his chosen career.25. We can know from the passage that the author works as _.A. a doctor B. a modelC. a teacher D. a reporter26. Many graduates today turn to cosmetic surgery to_. A. marry a better manwoman B. become a modelC. get an advantage over others in job-hunt D. attract more admirers27. According to the passage, the author believes that _. A. everyone should purchase perfection, whatever the costB. its right for graduates to ask for others to help them out in hunting for jobsC. media are to blame for misleading young people in their seeking for surgeryD. it is ones appearance instead of skills that really matters in ones career 28. What does the author think of his height?A. He hates to be called a short man.B. He tries to increase his height through surgery.C. He always wears shoes with thick soles to hide the fact.D. He just accepts it as it isCThink of some of your favorite singers. When you listen，they can make you happy or sad，peaceful or angry. They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singers have the power to affect us in many waysemotionally，physically and mentally. But becoming a great singer isnt as easy as listening to one. It takes practice，devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera(歌剧)star Carol Vaness.At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings. Carols voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater，without a microphone，even when shes singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes. “When you breathe，its like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going underwater，”Carol explains.“You have to take a lot of air into your lungs. According to Carol，the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe，how much air you take in，and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking，and its a lot softer. When I sing for children，theyre often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears, like waves on a beach，” Carol says.“In opera，the air doesnt just go out of your mouth; it vibrates in your chest，the way a guitar vibrates when its played.Ever since she started piano lessons at the age of ten. Carol has loved music. As she got older，she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college，she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voicethe highest singing voice for women. Carol decided to make opera her goal，not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speaking them. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing，the emotions(情感)are expressed by words and music comes to life. Today，Carol performs throughout the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgotten where she started singing in the first palace. “Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it，”says Carol，“because singing is a great joy. Thats why I sing. In fact，thats why everybody sings.29. According to the passage，the Metropolitan Opera in New York City _ .

Carol worked as a music teacherC. Carol has been singing opera for 20 years or soD. Carol is popular with Americans and Europeans32. What is the best title for this passage? A. An Opera StarB.

Singing without a Microphone DDoris Lessing is an important writer who won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2007, when she was 88 years old. She is famous for her books about Africa. They reflect the life that she knew when she was growing up in Southern Rhodesia (now known as Zimbabwe). Her first book The Grass Is Singing was about the relationship between a white famers wife and her black African servant. Doris was concerned all her life about women and their lives. Doris left school early and was self-taught. She was unhappy in her family life and left her home to move to London in 1949. It was there that she was able to begin her writing career. After that she never looked back. Her books were popular with women because she wrote about their psychology, politics and relationships within the family and how their views changed as they aged. Her most famous book is The Golden Notebook, in which she examines the problems of a woman writer. She understood the problems of unknown women writers and published two novels under a different name. They were both ignored until she told everyone who the true author was!She wrote more than fifty books and it was the range of her writing (novels, essays and biographies)that led her to being given the Nobel Prize. When she heard the news from a group of reporters who were waiting outside her house, Doris Lessing was amazed. She said, “I am genuinely surprised because they have refused to accept me all these years.” Even so she was very happy to win the Nobel Prize at the end of her career. It seemed a good reward after so much effort!33. What is the book The Grass Is Singing about？A. Childhood experiences. B. Cultural differences. C. A woman and her life. D. Wives and husbands. 34. From whom did Ms Lessing get the news that she had won the Nobel Prize?A. Some campers. B. Some nurses. C. Some reporters. D. Some editors. 35. According to the passage, what was the condition of the unknown women writers at that time?A. Difficult. B. Fairly good.C. The same as the known. D. Not mentioned.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。（注意：请将答案写在答题纸上的相应位置）How to Become a Success YourselfBy not comparing ourselves to successful peoples results, we can avoid the feelings of inadequacy or failure.

Every stage of development is necessary so we can become wiser. Each lesson builds on previous lessons.

Career stages with logical milestones are important: Career and life stages follow a natural progression. We cant speed our way from a green hand to master. 39 Life stages are progressive: 40 When youre in your 30s, its unrealistic to expect successes that people naturally enjoy in their late 40s or 50s.
