of years ago,before a trip to China,Nicole Davis and her US womens volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence（声望）of coach Jenny Lang Ping in her native country.I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus,said Davis.Known as the Iron Hammer for her punishing spikes（扣球）,Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s.She was a key player on Chinas 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.When the US team arrived for the Olympics,Lang,48,who is from Beijing,had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.Then came the greatest moment to Lang: While the US team was playing in a packed gym at least 8,000 Chinese fans unfurled（展开）an American flag.“That really says it all,”Davis said.“They look at her as an icon（偶像）.Im sure its hard for them to see her coaching another country,but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday,when China lost a match to the US. :“Its a pity that China lost the match,but Im still glad that Lang Pings team won,since she is the pride of Chinas volleyball,”said Liu Chengli,a spectator.We also cheered for Langs victory.Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams met.“It doesnt matter if we play China or any other team.Its the same,”Lang said.Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US.The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players,said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg.“Its such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China,”she said.“The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous.The whole event has been unbelievable.”50.Lang Ping avoided meeting the reporters and fans probably because she .A.was afraid to be questioned about her strategyB.didnt want to be paid much attention toC.didnt want to disturb public orderD.disliked to be with her fans51.What does Lang Ping mean by saying It doesnt matter if we play China or any other team.?A.She just tried to stay professional.B.The results of each match will be the same.C.American Volleyball Team will beat any team.D.Chinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams.52.What impressed the US team players most?A.Lang Pings coaching skills.B.The tolerance of Chinese people.C.The popularity of volleyball in China.D.The loyalty for volleyball of the Chinese.CThe African elephant,the largest land animal remaining on earth,is of great importance to African ecosystem（生态系统）.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big plant-eater,it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna（稀树草原）surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.It is the elephants great desire for food that make it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and underbushes,and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plan is in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.Take the rainforests for example.In their natural state,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants make open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations,the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.53.What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants. B.The eating habit of African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants search for food. D.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.54.What does the underlined phrase setting the terms most probably mean?A.Fixing the time. B.Worsening the state.C.Improving the quality. D.Deciding the conditions.55.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?A.They are home to many endangered animals.B.They result from the destruction of rainforests.C.They provide food mainly for African elephants.D.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.56.The passage is developed mainly by .A.showing the effect and then explaining the causesB.pointing out similarities and differencesC.describing the changes in space orderD.giving examplesDThe writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain.His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.Shakespeares work,together with most other classics,is seen as remote,and written in a 400-year-old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.Still,in British schools,rt is compulsory（强迫的）to study the poet,and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom,resentment（憎恨）or both.This was my experience of the classics at school.But when I reached my late teenage years,I had a change of heart.Like every other young person since the dawn of time,the world confused me.I wanted answers,so I turned to books to find them.I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China,I have never regretted it.There is something in literature that people want,even if they dont read books.You see this in the popularity or TV and movie adaptations of great works,the recent film version of Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice being a case in point.These popular adaptations may help increase peoples interest in the classics.Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeares actual play.If that is the case,then I welcome the trend.But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing.Shakespeare is a poet. His greatness is in his language.Reading someone elses rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana,throwing away the fruit,and eating the skin.Take on the original.It is really worth the effort.57.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.British students usually find compulsory reading dull.B.The language used in classics is no longer in use today.C.Only those studying literature read Shakespeares works.D.For British people,Shakespeares works are no longer classics.58.According to the passage,the writer .A.was forced to read the classics for a PhDB.has liked literary classics since an early ageC.turned to literature to seek answers in his teensD.thinks only people who read books like literature59.The underlined phrase a case in point in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “ ”.A.a great hit B.a good example C.a movie adaptation D.a popular phenomenon60.What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?A.The fruit of a banana is more useful than its skin.B.The rewriting trend does more harm than good.C.Readers should try to read the original version.D.Readers need to learn the language in the classics.第卷 非选择题（共25分）第三部分 写作第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）A design student in her final year at Brighton University was trying to develop a new bicycle safety product,but she was struggling to come up with a standout idea.Inspiration came when cycling down a busy city center street.
