    Sports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.

    When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts (选拔赛) and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.

    Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach that was the best practice I ever had.” I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.

    In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.

    1.Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.

    A. trained the team to the edge of death

    B. expected the team to do well in their studies

    C. asked the team to do more reading than training

    D. concentrated on skill training

    2.The underlined phrase “slacked off” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

    A. made less effort B. paid no attention

    C. showed no interest D. had less passion

    3.In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.

    A. professional and serious B. skilled and cruel

    C. hardworking and honest D. strict and helpful

    2．We usually believe what our brain tells us，but there is some amazing evidence which shows that the brain tricks us．As a result，we can ignore things that actually are there．Psychologists Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched this phenomenon，which they call'change blindness'．
    The′Invisible Gorilla（看不见的大猩猩）experiment is probably their most famous one，and it is described in many psychology textbooks．In this experiment，the participants were shown a video of two groups of people （one group in white T-shirts and the other group in black T shirts）who passed basketballs around in a hall．Simons and Chabris asked people to count how many times the white team passed the ball．While the two teams were passing their balls around，a person who was dressed up as a gorilla walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera．Simons and Chabris found that about half of the research participants did not notice the gorilla．
    Simons and Daniel Levin did another experiment，called the'Door Study'．Participants in this study were walking across a university campus（校园）when they were stopped by someone they didn't know．The stranger asked for directions and the participant started to give the directions．While the participant was talking to the stranger，two men who were carrying a wooden door talked between the participant and the stranger．At this point，the stranger swapped places with one of the men carrying the door．After that，the participant continued to give the directions．Once again，about half of those tested did not notice that，when the door as passing by，the stranger had changed places with a man who as taller，thinner and who sounded different．
    It just goes to show how we can't always trust our own rains．Even though we may think we know what is going on，we can be blind to large changes in our environment．
     
    28．What were the participants asked to focus on in'the Invisible Gorilla'experiment？D
    A．The number of people in the hall．
    B．The clothes people were wearing．
    C．The number of basketballs in the hall．
    D．The basketball the white team was passing．
    29．What did Simons and Levin want to study？C
    A．Whether people could find the correct directions in a strange place．
    B．Whether people were patient to offer help after an interruption．
    C．Whether people noticed they were talking to different people．
    D．Whether people judged others sound．by their appearance and sound．
    30．Why do people sometimes ignore what's before their eyes？A
    A．They are concentrating on something else．
    B．They don't trust their own brains．
    C．They have very bad eyesight．
    D．They aren't interested in it．
    31．Where does this text probably come from？C
    A．An experimental procedure．

    3．For most people，plastic bags are a necessity of any shopping trip．They might seem like an innocent way to carry groceries，but dealing with these bags can be harmful for the environment．
    It's reported that the world uses about 500 billion plastic bags each year and fewer than 3% are recycled．Plastic bags that end up in oceans and beaches are harmful to fish，birds，and other animals．As a result，cities and states have been trying for years to find a way to get people to cut back on using plastic bags．
    This year，New York City was prepared to add a 5-cent tax on the use of paper or plastic bags in stores，but Governor Andrea Cuomo signed a law that blocked（反对） the tax．Cuomo said the tax idea was"deeply faulty"because it would have allowed store owners to keep the money from the tax instead of putting it toward environmental efforts．Cuomo announced plans to create a task force to look into the plastic-bag problem．By the end of the year，the task force may suggest a statewide ban of plastic bags，a tax on them，or something entirely new．
    Several cities around the country have either banned plastic bags or charged a fee for their use．In Washington，D．C．，the charge is 5 cents per bag．Since the fee started there，the number of plastic bags on the streets and waterways dropped by 60%．Seattle，Washington，has banned plastic carryout bags and charges a minimum of 5cents for paper．Chicago，Illinois，will soon add a 7-cent tax on paper and plastic bags．
    In New York，some politicians who thwarted，a tax say it puts，too much to tress on low-income citizens and working families．They argue that those people need the money to spend on food，not on bags．

    28．What do the majority of people think of plastic bags？C
    A．They are easy to be recycled．
    B．They do little harm to wild animals．
    C．Shopping can't be done without them．
    D．Handling them benefits the environment．
    29．Why did Andrea Cuomo sign a law against the bag tax？A
    A．Because he thought it was quite imperfect．
    B．Because he thought it was something new．
    C．Because he thought it would affect the sales of bags．
    D．Because he thought it would increase consumers'burden．
    30．What can be inferred from Paragraph 4？D
    A．The higher bag fees are，the better．
    B．Paper bags will eventually replace plastic bags．
    C．More states in the USA will ban the use of plastic ones．
    D．Charging bag fees helped decrease the use of plastic bags．
    31．Which of the following can replace the underlined word"thwarted"in the last paragraph？B
    A．desired     
    B．opposed    
    C．abolished     
    D．suggested．

    I like eating fruit and vegetables what are of great benefit to our healthy. Not only do they prevent us from falling into ill, but they help us lose weight. I used to hate vegetables, but follow the doctor’s advice, I gradually kicked the bad habit. Just as an old saying going, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. However, there are still many child disliking fruit and vegetables. On contrary, influenced by this or that kind of advertisement, many were crazy about junk food. Consequently, they become weaker and weaker instead of getting strong. In my opinion, we must take action to change them.

    Captain Henry, a 98-year-old American retired fisherman, has become a first-time author, having written and published his autobiography In a Fisherman’s Language after learning to read at the age of 91.

    Mr. Henry spent most of his life without even his closest family members knowing he was illiterate (不识字的). Forced to quit school in the third grade to take odd jobs, he kept the secret close to his chest, only telling his late wife. Henry’s granddaughter, Marlisa, told reporters how he used tricks, like waiting for others to order at restaurants first, to avoid the issue.

    A family dispute in his nineties, she said, aroused his desire for education. “He signed a document he could not read about where he was going to live,” Marlisa said. Starting with his name, he eventually moved on to the ABC’s and children’s books. He put them down since his wife fell ill. After the tragic loss of his wife, he went back to reading and began to log his life. He wrote about his family’s voyage from Portugal to the US, how he went on to captain a boat, and his many journeys at sea.

    His life stories have become so popular that nearly 800 copies were sold in the first two weeks after the book’s release. One thousand more have been printed as requests for the book flood in as far as Germany. And now even Hollywood producers have approached Mr. Henry about buying the rights to his life stories for a big screen adaptation.

    The family also now has a book agent and a deal in the works to publish a second edition. Meanwhile, the family says they are reconnecting and closer than ever as a result of Henry’s late-life efforts. “Everyone has a story, Marlisa said. “It teaches that when you’re down and out. never give up.”

    1.When did Henry begin writing his life story?

    A. After his wife passed away.

    B. Before his wife passed away.

    C. When he was at the age of 91.

    D. After he retired from work.

    2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?

    A. Henry didn’t love his wife.

    B. A Hollywood producer wishes to make a movie out of Henry’s book.

    C. Henry began his reading with some famous novels.

    D. Henry’s book was well-received by Americans and he made a lot of money.

    3.How did Henry’s family benefit from the 2nd edition?

    A. The family got known in the US.

    B. His family moved from Portugal to the US.

    C. The family ties were rebuilt and strengthened.

    D. His family spread abroad.

    4.What message can Henry’s story give us?

    A. Writing can make people rich.

    B. A person should write his story.

    C. One is never too old to learn.

    D. Everything comes to him who waits.
