  I promised Michael I wouldn't mention this until the season was over. Now I think it's time.

  Early last season, I wrote a column(专栏) about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the Stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, “I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”

  Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people can ring you up to say that the person is not so nice.

  A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?

  “Not two boys,” Jordan said. “But four.”

  And he named them. He said four names.

  And what did they talk about?

  “Everything,” Jordan said. “Anything. I've asked to see their grades so that I can check to see they're paying attention to their schoolwork. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it.”

  It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's, one more thing that no one knows about, one more thing Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight, waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.

1.The author wrote this story about Jordan and his young friends NOT because ________.

[  ]

A.he would like to keep the promise he had made

B.he hated to see Jordan become the target of ill-intentioned criticisms

C.he was impressed by Jordan's deeds for the ordinary poor

D.he thought it was time to help the disabled children

2.That man called after reading about what Jordan did to a disabled child because he wanted to ________.

[  ]

A.offer another example to show that Jordan was a nice man

B.let the author know that Jordan was not that nice

C.know why Jordan stopped in a bad area

D.become famous himself

3.Jordan talked with the boys because ________.

[  ]

A.he had promised to do so

B.he wanted to teach them basketball

C.he would see to it that they all studied well

D.he needed their support

4.The passage implies that ________.

[  ]

A.Jordan is special as an extraordinary basketball player

B.Jordan is always ready to make friends with all young people

C.Jordan is not worthy of the admiration he had from others

D.It is typical. of Jordan to do whatever he can for the good of society

5.In the sentence “After it ran, I got a call…”, the word “ran” can be replaced by “________”.

[  ]

A.drove
B.finished
C.disappeared
D.spread
答案:D;B;C;D;D
解析:

  1D  从上下文知道,作者即遵守了诺言,又不愿意看见乔丹成为被攻击的目标。对乔丹帮助一班人很有好感。

  2B  After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said, I read what you wrote about Jordan, but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw.”从以上这句话中可以看出,做这些了有关乔丹的好事以后,他打电话告诉另一件事情。特别还有一个but在里边,说明不是好事情。

  3C  I've asked to see their grades so that I can check to see they're paying attention to their schoolwork.这一句说明乔丹要帮助他们。

  4D  从上下文中可以知道,乔丹爱做好事。

  5D  从After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs.可以看出ran是传播的意思。

  A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

  A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

  P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.

  Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.

  The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

  The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

  The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

1.According to the author's opinion, the first serious problem caused by lack of water is ________.

[  ]

A.health problem
B.war
C.economy
D.industry

2.Robert Engelman may be ________.

[  ]

A.An Englishman
B.An American
C.A Japanese
D.An Australian

3.________ may have severe water problem among the following countries.

[  ]

A.Egypt
B.America
C.Japan
D.Russia

4.Which of the following is not the way to solve the water problem?

[  ]

A.To control population growth.

B.To teach people not to waste water.

C.To find ways to use water for only one purpose.

D.To use less water of agriculture.

5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.How to get more water in the future.

B.Problems caused by water.

C.World water shortage.

D.A new study on water.

  Subject:Complaint

  Dear Mr.Price,

  I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service.This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m.We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready.At 8∶00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section.I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables.A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.

  Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful.She gave us free drinks for waiting so long.Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty.When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables.She was shocked and wanted to leave.At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic.When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.

  We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal.Nobody came.After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager.The head waiter told us that you were on holiday.I complained again about the horrible cockroach.He told me Janet had finished work.He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals.I argued with him but was force to pay.

  The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund(退款)for our meal.It cost $68.Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.

  Thank you for your attention.

Yours sincerely,

Raymond Yuen

  When my father married my mother in 1943, he gave my mother a 1937 crown coin and told her to keep it in the back of her purse and not spend it.This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it.

  When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crownfor me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs.

  A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external(外部的)circumstances and partly through poor planning.Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, even given her food.tried to teach her budget techniques, and none of them has been a solution.She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression.

  Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless.I then thought about how the crown.a reminder of another's care and love, had protected me, so 1 went to the bank for a$100 dollar bill.I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the$100 in the back of her wallet.It turned out that she didn't have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins.She immediately felt better.“I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend”, she said, and we were both a bit teary.

  The reason for passing this on is not to praise any generosity on my part, but to show the power of“random acts of kindness”.I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I'd never used, and thought,“I'II give that to my friend”.I opened it, and inside, found $100.

  Lately, I am often asked about my favorite current TV show.The questioner is shocked to hear I rarely watch TV.Whether it is an at-home date night or some good time alone, I can always find something fun to do without the noise and distraction of a TV show.That's not to say there aren't times when I do turn to DVD's or the Internet to watch shows.It's just that there are so many things to do.

  There are many games that are grown-up enough to hold my interest.Another activity that kills time is putting to use the building block sets I still have from my childhood.It's very satisfying to achieve a feat of engineering by the end of an evening.It's likewise great fun to create playful artwork by bedtime while avoiding overstimulation from electronic devices.

  Nothing sucks up creativity like an entire evening spent watching TV.So, whether I'm in the mood to paint, play my flute, or make something out of clay, I make time to do it.I always hear people complain there isn't enough time to do what they want, but some are the same people who are shocked that I rarely watch TV.Considering their complaints, it is ironic that on June 22, 2011 the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the results of the American Time Use Survey and stated “Watching TV was the leisure activity occupying the most time(2.7hours per day), accounting for about half of leisure tine on average, for those aged 15 and over”.

  Sometimes I just come home to find stillness and release the tensions of the day.I turn on neither TV nor the computer, but opt for yoga, a hot bath, a good book, or an early bedtime.Though it might seem extravagant(奢侈的)to go to bed around 9:00p.m., it can really make a difference.Especially when something is bothering me, the distraction of TV only complicates my thoughts, and I can better cope with the world if I just relax.

  My evenings of rare TV are enjoyable.It's these evenings of play, creativity and relaxation that make a better-rounded lifestyle.

(1)

The text mainly talks about ________.

[  ]

A.

the author's hobbies

B.

some disadvantages of watching TV

C.

some healthy lifestyle

D.

the author's evenings of rare TV

(2)

Some people can't find enough time to do what they want because ________.

[  ]

A.

watching TV occupies too much of their time

B.

they spend too much time complaining

C.

they just don't bother to find the time

D.

they are too busy to spare time

(3)

We can conclude from the text that ________.

[  ]

A.

the author is only interested in adult games

B.

the author won't play the flute when he doesn't have time

C.

going to bed before 9:00 p.m.makes a person better deal with the world

D.

the author rarely watches TV and also doesn't watch shows on the Internet

(4)

According to the text, watching too much TV can lead to the following EXCEPT ________.

[  ]

A.

distraction

B.

sleepiness

C.

less creativity

D.

over-stimulation
