  阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

  There’s a modern African proverb I like to use when explaining why I feel it is so important to give back to my homeland:“When you take the elevator (lift)up to reach the top, please don’t forget to send the elevator back down, so that someone else can take it to the top. ”

  As a young man, I was given a wonderful opportunity to pursue an education in the United States at Georgetown University. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would lead to a career in the NBA, which has allowed me to send the elevator back down to my people in Africa.

  Africa has been described as a continent that is dying, a continent that is suffering, a continent that needs help.

  It breaks my heart every day to think of all the children growing up in poverty (贫困), and without a sense of hope.

  But there is hope. It’s hard for me to describe my feelings when I think about what NBA players are doing to spread good will to people all over the world, but especially in Africa.

  I’ve waited so long for such a moment -seeing more NBA players participating and devoting their time and energy for the youth of the African continent. There’s nothing that brings more joy to my heart than this.

  The kids that we were working with come from such deep suffering. Some have never even left their village before. To get an opportunity to board a plane and travel to another country to take part in Basketball without Borders, to meet and interact with NBA players and coaches, is like a dream come true. They got to eat wonderful meals. They’re given a uniform and basketball shoes. Some of them are so overwhelmed, they don’t even know what to say.

  Pete Babcock, who was general manager of the Atlanta Hawks when I played for them, told me in all his years around basketball, he has never received as many thank you as he did in Africa. When I hear something like that, I feel such a deep sense of pride, because I know how truly appreciative these kids are for this experience.

Education from My Father
My memories of my father are slim because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are   32  that I am often reminded of and which may have had some bearing on my love of   33 .
When I was small I was somewhat   34  of lightning and thunder. My father explained it. The explanation was in   35  that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better   36  later, but I didn’t have to unlearn anything.
What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds   37  it traveled to the ground like a spark. When it traveled   38  the air it made the air so hot that it   39 . Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to   40  the space. He clapped his hands together very loud,   41  to be the air rushing in, and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder, I can still hear that   42 .
He explained why if it was cloudy in the winter the night was warmer than if it was   43 . It was one of those nights when the sky was full of stars: no moon, no town lights. But there were more stars than you could   44  and they had color too. He said that if there were no clouds, we had no blankets and were   45  to the universe. Our warmth was going to   46  the whole universe. When there were clouds, they were like blankets and we were not exposed to the universe. I   47  feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.
I am sure there were many other lessons that I   48  but no longer remember. What I did 49 , in general, was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them, the more    comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were   50  but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always been   51  in science.

“Good night, Yammine.”
“Good night, Chief,” I reply.
The cell door __36__ and I hear Chief's keys clinking as other doors clang shut further down the row. I step into my little cell and sit down. I glance up at the window, covered in mesh(铁网),and think to myself, “This isn't a life, it's just a(n) __37__.”

I lie on my bed as night __40__ and think the same thoughts __41__. I think about how it all went so wrong, and imagine how I will __42__ for all the time I've lost.

One is not born able to speak a language. One is born able to make a noise. I have heard babies cry in America and in China. I can’t tell any difference. But when I hear someone from America speak English and hear someone speak Chinese, I can tell you there are a lot of differences.
I believe a common(普遍的) problem with Chinese students’ learning English is that they were not taught to think in English. They have an idea spoken in English and want to translate the idea into Chinese, then they think in Chinese of the proper reply and translate it into English. After a long period of speaking the language, one begins to think in the foreign language naturally. You will learn faster if you begin to think in English at the very beginning of your study. Many students ask me: What can I do to improve my spoken English?
My reply is: The more English you speak, the better English you will speak. There are many things you can do to improve your spoken English. Of course, the best way is to live where English is spoken as a language of the country.
【小题1】The cries of American and Chinese babies are _______.

A.differentB.the same
C.not like each otherD.like each other
【小题2】The underlined sentence (in Paragraph 2) means that______.
A.some teachers didn’t teach students to think in English
B.teachers never gave the students the way of learning English
C.students didn’t remember the way teachers taught them
D.teachers didn’t want their students to think in English
【小题3】The underlined word “they” (in Paragraph 2) refers to “_____”.
A.Chinese studentsB.English students
C.Chinese teachersD.English teachers
【小题4】According to the article, which of the following is TRUE?
A.You must think in English all the time.
B.You should always translate English into Chinese.
C.After speaking English for a long time, you may probably think in English naturally(自然地).
D.The best way of learning English is to live in America.

Dear Boris,

Thanks for your nice letter. After I had spent a week with my English family, I slowly began to understand their English a little better.It’s very different from what I learned at school! Students in my group are from different cities of Britain and their dialects (方言) are different too! Some of their accents (口音) are quite strong and they also have their own words and expressions.

But it’s not the language that’s different and surprising.Before I came to England I had thought that fish and chips were eaten every day.That’s quite wrong! I get rather mad now when I hear all the foolish words about typical (典型的) English food.

I had expected to see “London fog”.Do you remember our texts about it? We had no idea that most of this ‘thick fog’ disappeared many years ago when people stopped using coal in their homes.But the idea to speak about the weather was very helpful.The weather in London is really changeable.

On the other hand habits are different.People tell me what is typically British here in London is not always typical in Wales or Scotland.Local habits and traditions are not the same as what we knew.

But what is ordinary for all British is that they follow traditions.Probably Britain has more living signs of its past than many other countries.And people have always been proud of having ancient buildings in capitals, big cities and the countryside.

I will tell you more about Britain in my other letters.

Love from Britain,

Pete

3.The British people like to talk about weather because ________.

A.there is thick fog in London              B.they like the weather in Britain

C.the weather changes a lot               D.it can be helpful

A.They are not the same in different parts of Britain.

B.Habits in Wales and Scotland are typically British.

C.There are no typical British habits in Britain.
