26、   Growing up in Joilet, Illinois, in the 1930s, George Mikan often felt everyone was staring at him. Tall and awkward(笨拙的), with thick glasses, he tried to hide by lowering himself when walking and sitting. But someday, everyone would know his name, The Tall Kid By age16, Mikan made the high school basketball team. Now 6 feet 8 inches tall and broad-shouldered, his specialty was guarding the basket and blocking shots.

At 6 feet 10 in a sport then dominated(主导) by much smaller men, George Mikan was the model for the dominating tall players of later decades. Towering over most of his competitors, he was one of the most effective scorers of his day, averaging 22.6 points over a professional career that lasted nine seasons. How dominant was Mikan? In his nine seasons, his teams won seven titles and in 1950 he was selected the greatest player of the half-century.

One of the legendary stories about Mikan concerns a game played on Dec.13, 1949, between the Lakers and the New York Knicks. The grand screen over Madison Square Garden read: “Geo. Mikan vs. Knicks.” When Mikan walked into the locker room before the game, he found his teammates sitting around in their street clothes. One of them greeted Mikan by saying, “They’re advertising you’re playing against the Knicks, so go play them. We’ll wait here.”

Mikan was so dominant that the NBA made two big rules changes during his career. They tried to make it more difficult for him to score by expanding the width of the key from six feet to 12 feet and they started the 24-second clock after a game in 1950, when the Fort Wayne Pistons decided that the only way they could win was to hold onto the ball and not let the Lakers have it. They ended up winning, 19-18, in the lowest-scoring game in NBA history.

Mikan was in the first class elected to the basketball Hall of Fame in 1959. “Frankly, without George Mikan, the Los Angeles Lakers would not be the organization we are today,” Lakers owner Jerry Buss said. Magic Johnson also paid tribute to Mikan: “He started the championships. You’ve got to start with Mikan first before you name any Laker. He paved the way for all of us who came after him.”

【1】How did Mikan react to his height before reaching 16.

A.Feeling proud. B.Showing it off.

C.Taking its advantage. D.Feeling ashamed.

【2】What can be learned about Mikan from the text?

A.He made a successful scorer as a towering man.

B.He required the NBA to change its rules for his good.

C.He alone ever played against the Knicks for the Lakers.

D.He entered the basketball Hall of Fame in 1950.

【3】What can be inferred about the NBA rules?

A.Inefficient. B.Steady.

C.Adjustable. D.Perfect.

【4】The underlined phrase “paid tribute to” in the last paragraph means ________.

A.praised B.inspired

C.interviewed D.Perfect.

27、   Kitchens are considered one of the most dangerous areas of a home, for children and for seniors. Many more accidents and falls occur in the kitchen. Keeping the kitchen a safe environment isn’t always easy, but it can be accomplished through a series of steps.

Look at the kitchen with a critical eye and realize that what may seem perfectly harmless to you may be a potential threat to your elderly father. Watch out for dangerous objects that you take for granted. This can mean anything from the cookers to the cleaning supplies stored under the sink. Considering elderly parents, safety is the key issue.

As most caregivers of elderly parents know, it is often very difficult to convince your Mom or Dad to change their habits. However, stress the importance of safety whenever possible. If your parent is suffering from a cognitive disorder, remind him or her not to place canned goods in the microwave or be careful with knives that just doesn’t work. It’s up to you to unplug the microwave and to place the kitchen knives in a secured drawer.

Many caregivers of elderly parents hesitate to make such changes because they are afraid of hurting feelings. However, when compared to the alternative, it's best to be firm and make safety a priority. Nevertheless, ensuring elderly parent safety in the house, not just the kitchen, is important. As many elders develop cognitive issues, it may be difficult for him or her to tell between safe and unsafe.

Ensure that any room in the house, especially the kitchen, has safe access for those using canes and walkers. It’s not an easy task, but with a little planning and a developed course of action, you can help make the kitchen one of the safest areas of the house, and not the other way around.

28、Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.

Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly. Generosity  means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.

Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve . Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.

No two friendships are ever exactly alike(相同). But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty. Generosity and understanding.

29、   Many of us spend part of each day surrounded by strangers, whether on our daily commute (上下班往返), or sitting in park or cafe. But most of them remain just that-strangers. However, new evidence has shown that plucking up (鼓起) the courage to strike up conversation might be good for our health.

Nicholas Epley from the University of Chicago and Juliana Schroeder from the University of California are behavioural scientists. They wanted to know whether solitude is a more positive experience than interacting with strangers, or if people misunderstand the consequences of distant social connections. They found that many people feel uncomfortable and frightened talking to others and their research suggested that when we make an initial conversation “we consistently underestimate (低估) how much a new person likes us.” It seems we think that all the things could go wrong and why someone wouldn’t want to talk with us.

Their research involved an experiment with a group of Chicago commuters and found that “every participant in our experiment who actually tried to talk to a stranger found the person sitting next to them was happy to chat.” From this and other research, the conclusion is that connecting with strangers is surprisingly pleasant and it has a positive impact on our wellbeing. It’s true that talking can make you feel happier and happiness can lead to better mental health.

However, if you’re’ an introvert (性格内向者), the thought of speaking to someone new might make you anxious. But the American research found “both extroverts (性格外向者) and introverts are happier when they are asked to behave in an extroverted manner.” So maybe, if you’re a loner, it’s time to come out of your shell and make some small talk with a stranger-it could be the beginning of a new friendship.

【1】What does the underlined word“solitude”in paragraph 2 mean?

A.Being calm. B.Being pleasant. C.Being alone. D.Being healthy.

【2】Why might we not want to speak to a stranger?

A.Because we don’t trust a new person.

B.Because we can’t find a common topic.

C.Because we like distant social connections.

D.Because we carry a negative voice in our head.

【3】What could help start a new friendship?

A.Making a small talk. B.Sitting next to a stranger.

C.Sharing personal details. D.Behaving in polite manner.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A.How to be an extrovert. B.Talking to strangers.

C.How to speak to strangers. D.Making new friends.

31、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The view that the spirit of adventure no longer has any scope for its enterprise seems, at first glance, depressingly true. The highest mountains have been scaled; the deepest seas plumbed. Maps today no longer contain huge blanks marked "Unknown Territory", nor do they make random guesses at the shapes of 【1】 land-masses. All major journeys of exploration to 【2】 the true shape and nature of the globe have been made in the past. It was left to us to fill in the details with 【3】 which once would have been considered impossible. The gaps have been 【4】. What next?

The obvious answer, of course, is that man is now looking upwards into space. Discoveries are being made at such a tremendous rate that even authors of science-fiction are finding it difficult to keep up with them and have to tax their imagination to invent bigger and better space-craft. Satellites sending signals as they swing round our globe have become 【5】.

Astronauts have successfully landed on the moon and its entire surface has been photographed. The information that satellites may provide fueling stations for manned rockets no longer strikes us as preposterous. If thirty years ago, a scientist has urged that we send messages into outer space in the hope of receiving an answer, he would have been regarded as either irresponsible or mad. Now, anything seems 【6】.

From dreams like these, we return to earth with a bump. Trips into space are all very well, but they are not for us; we must 【7】 ourselves with our own, much-traveled world. The earth itself is the training-ground for adventurous spirits, for "adventure" need not mean the seeking out of something new. A person can be called adventurous when he finds out something for himself, and it does not matter how many times the discovery has been made before. No one would say that men who set out now to cross the forbidding Antarctic are less enterprising than their predecessors who tried to do the same thing. The little boy who climbs the small hill that 【8】 his town, or even he who tries to climbs and fails, has precisely the same spirit that led Hillary to climb Everest. For the bold spirit and inquiring mind, there are inexhaustible possibilities. So long as there are people willing to 【9】 places that are well-known, there will be those who will, one day, set foot on remote and 【10】 shores.
