C Chinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go. Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa,Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player. Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, an army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiationsbetween the Rockets and NBA representatives,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou. Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions. Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games. Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them.Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adaptto the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA. 65.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA because . A.he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in China B.he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the Rockets C.he is regarded as the best basketball player in China D.he is thought highly of in the international world 66.Yao Ming can play for NBA if . A.there is no problem with his visa B.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for him C.time and conditions are proper D.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks 67.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
A
Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied. “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
  The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing the little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field. The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen? Why did you watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused, “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied.
“When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so that he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
56.Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A.Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B.Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C.Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
D.Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
57.The youngest angel was very angry because      .
A.the old angel killed the farmer’s cow
B.the old angel treated the two families differently
C.the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live
D.the angel of death took the cow away
58.Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die?
  A.Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B.Because she wanted to teach the youngest angel a lesson.
  C.Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.
  D.Because she thinks it is unfair to the rich
59.The story tries to tell the reader that________.
  A.angels are always ready to help the poor
  B.what we see is not necessarily what it is
  C.angles are always to help the rich
D.the young should always learn from the old
