SPANISH basketball fans should buy Mr and Mrs Gasol dinner. Their sons – Pau and Marc Gasol – led Spain to become the champion of European basketball. Spain beat France 98-85 in the final of the 2011 EuroBasket on September 18.
“The Gasol brothers rule the court (球场),”Slovenia guard Saso Ozbolt said. “You have to pay attention to them, then the other players move in. That’s why it’s so tough to play against Spain.”
The Gasol brothers both play in the NBA. Pau is the forward (前锋) of the Los Angeles Lakers and Marc plays for the Memphis Grizzles (孟菲斯灰熊队) as a center. But, besides their height, the brothers do not have much in common.
On the court, Pau moves gracefully around opponents (对手) and Marc charges through them. In their spare time, Pau goes to art house theaters while Marc goes fishing.
Yet Marc talks to Pau at least every other day and lives in Pau’s old apartment. “Little brothers have to go their own way sometimes,” Marc says. “But Pau has always been the best example for me to follow.”
As a big NBA star, Pau has won two NBA championships with the Lakers and four All-stars. But Marc is catching up with his brother. During the last NBA season, Marc had an average of 15 points and 12 rebounds (篮板球) a game in the playoffs (季后赛), compared wit h Pau’s 13 and eight. Marc did better than his famous brother.

Yes.
Yang Cen, 13:
I think my seat is very important for my studies. If I sit in the front of the classroom, I can listen to teachers more carefully and learn more things. So I will get good grades. Second, teachers will ask me to answer questions more often. This gives me more confidence (信心).
Tang Xiaohan, 14:
I sit in the back of the classroom. But my eyesight (视力) is not very good, and the boy in front of me is very tall. It is hard for me to see the blackboard. And students in the back are always talking. I can’t hear the teacher clearly. I believe sitting in the front will not only improve my grades but also my eyesight.
No.
Kang Yuchen, 13:
I don’t think where I sit in the classroom matters. I’m a tall boy and because of this, my teacher always asks me to sit in the back of the classroom. I never think about it. It doesn’t affect (影响) my studies. In fact, my grades are always at the top of my class. And, if I sit near the teacher, I sometimes feel a little nervous (紧张的).
Sun Haotian, 14:
I never care about (关心) where I sit in the classroom. In my opinion, the most important thing for good grades is to have a good attitude (态度) and to work hard. It couldn’t be the seat. If you want to study, no one can stop you. Anything else is just an excuse.
（2）我的课外活动时间我做主。词数250 建议阅读时间6分钟
DO your parents make you join in lots of after-school activities? My parents did, once, and I listened to them. But now, I decide what I do.
My parents made me do a lot of extracurricular (课外的) activities: basketball, soccer, swimming, tennis, ice-skating and so on.
I didn’t like many of them. Each time I would ask my parents to stop enrolling (招收) me next time.
This year, I began to quit (停止) some activities. I quit choir (唱诗班) because the music wasn’t so good. I also quit orchestra (管弦乐队). I decided I could learn Chinese at home, so I quit Chinese school. So, now I only do school band, after-school Spanish and violin lessons.
My mother thinks that I don’t get enough exercise. But I don’t think so. I walk home 2 miles (3.2km) every day. Walking is a kind of sport.
One day, in the middle of class, a voice (声音) from the loudspeaker asked me to come to the meeting for Archery (射箭) Club. I didn’t think it was for me, so I didn’t go.
When I got home, my mother was very angry that I didn’t go. She was looking for a program to enroll me in, and found this one at the last minute. My mother says it’s never too late to learn new things. Maybe that’s true, but I really didn’t
want to go.
What would you do if you were me?

LAST Monday, I went to school with a crew cut. It was all the fault of my cousin and my own foolishness (愚蠢). He said he could cut my hair beautifully. Foolishly, I agreed. After five minutes, I asked him to stop. The cut was very uneven (不平整的). I had to visit a barber. The barber gave me a crew cut to “save” my hair. In the end, my hair was only 2-3mm long. What a bad cut!

WHEN I feel unhappy, I want to cry. But one of my friends told me: “Keep running until your tears turn to sweat (汗水).”Later, running became one of my habits. I like running around the park. I don’t stop until I am sweating. Then I feel better. However, it’s not a good way to exercise because too much exercise may be bad for our health. So we should keep happy every day! Anyway, life is beautiful!

Tommy was always an excellent student. How could I make his father and mother believe
Tommy’s mother came in and sat down. Then his father arrived. But they didn’t say even one word to each other. I told them about Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork. I hoped to help them see what they were doing to their son. But it seemed that my words weren’t
ommy could tell them himself...
I found Tommy’s paper in the back of his desk. Tommy had written a single sentence on it many times. I gave the paper to Tommy’s mother. She read it and gave it to his father. He read it and his face became soft (柔和).
He reached (伸手去够) for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears (擦干眼泪) from her eyes and smiled up at him. My eyes were teary, too. He helped her with her coat and they left together.
I picked up the paper and looked at it again. It read: “Dear Mommy… Dear Daddy… I love you.”

少喝含糖饮料，远离肥胖烦恼。词数 260 建议阅读时间 7分钟
MOST children have a sweet tooth. However, eating too much candy or drinking too many sugary (含糖的) drinks is bad for our health. Many countries have started to do something to control the amount of sugary drinks kids can have.
A law limiting the sale and advertisement of sugary drinks took effect
in Boston, US in August. It will be impossible to buy sugary drinks in schools and government buildings in the city starting next month.
Mayor Menino said of the reasons behind the law: “Forty percent of the kids in Boston public schools are overweight (超重的).”
About one half of the US population aged 2 and older drinks sugary drinks every day. One in five American children aged 12 to 19 is overweight, according to US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (疾病预防控制中心).
Many other countries have taken similar actions. In August, France started a new tax (税) on sugary drinks. Hungary (匈牙利) introduced a similar tax in early September. Governments hope this will keep populations healthier.
China is facing the same problem. According to a recent study by Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, middle school students in big cities in our country each drink about 1,200ml of sugary drinks every day. In the last 20 years, the number of overweight schoolchildren has increased 5 to 10 times.
Gao Xiang of Harvard Medical School (哈佛医学院) called on the Chinese government to deal with the situation. Gao gave some suggestions, including banning (禁止) the sale of sugary drinks in schools and limiting their advertising.

女性读者向我问得最多的问题是──如何 能既拥有成功的事业又拥有幸福的家庭？她们中的很多人已经在事业上获得成功了，她们实际上要问的是如何同时获得一个幸福的家庭。 Here's the #1 question I get from women readers: How can I have a successful career and a happy family? Many of these readers already are successful in their careers. What they're really asking is how to also have a happy family. 对我们女性而言，这是一个非常新的问 题。许多世纪以来，女人的职业就是“照顾家人”。我们活着是为了取悦父亲、丈夫以及儿子。我们为他人服务，获得的回报是一生安稳的保障。 This is a very new question for us. For centuries, women's careers were our family. Our career was 'caregiver.' We lived to please our fathers, our husbands, our sons. In return for our service, we received a lifetime guarantee of stability and security. 然而，这种“交易”如今已经消失。虽然我 们依然在履行照顾家人的职责，但对许多人来说（如果不是大多数人的话），婚姻正成为巨大的不安全感的来源。 But today that bargain has vanished. We're still doing our part by serving our families. But for many if not most, marriage now is a source of deep insecurity. 大多数年轻人的婚姻如今以离婚告终 Most young marriages now end in divorce 在步入婚姻殿堂时，没有人会抱着这种 想法──“有一天我们会厌恶对方”，但这正是中国大多数80后一代的经历。根据民政部的统计，2005年时，80后的离婚率就已经达到了57%。 No one enters a marriage thinking, 'Someday we'll hate each other,' but that's been precisely the experience of most of China's born-post-1980 generation. The Ministry of Civil Affairs reports that by 2005, the divorce rate for this generation already had reached 57 percent. 中国历史上首次出现了在破碎家庭中长大的一代儿童。女性在离婚期间常常遭 受巨大的痛苦，但至少我们可以掌控自己的生活然后继续向前。然而，我们的孩子却不能。在离婚事件中，他们才是真正意义上的受害者。 For the first time in Chinese history, a generation of children now is growing up in broken households. Women often suffer greatly during divorce, but at least we can take charge of our lives and move on. Our children, on the other hand, cannot. When divorce occurs, they're victims in the truest sense. 离婚对孩子的影响可能会持续一生，我恰好对此有直接的了解。我1969年在美国出生，正如中国现在的情况一样，上世纪70年代正是离婚潮首次在美国爆发之时。我们那一代人是第一代成长在离异家庭的孩子。虽然我的父母一直都在 一起生活，但那些年我还是目睹了父母The impacts on children of divorce can last a lifetime. I happen to know this first-hand, since I was born in America in 1969, and it was in the 1970s that divorce first exploded in America as is happening now in China. My generation was the first to grow up as the children of divorce.

第一单元 Text Comprehension II． 1. It was a military campaign in which many soldiers died. The effects on Churchill were () he lost his political position and he was overwhelmed with grief. 2. He felt so inspired to paint that he was distracted from his personal problems. 3. His sister-in-law?s painting inspired him to try his hand at it; his wife rushed out to buy all the materials he would need; and the wife of Sir John Lavery helped him overcome his fear of the blank canvas. 4. The blank whiteness of the c anvas made him feel he didn?t know where to begin. This nervousness was not typical of Churchill, who was known publicly as a brave and strong-willed person. 5. Churchill was comparing the canvas to an opponent in a fight, and he could now see that he need not fear his “adversary”. 6. He meant that Churchill would have been a great painter, just as he was a great politician. 7. It was his great comfort when the death of his mother was followed quickly by the death of his daughter. 8. Because the judges suspected that it was not painted by an amateur; they were later surprised and delighted because Churchill was not just a famous political figure but also a talented untrained artist. 9. No, she considers that decade an artistically fruitful one. 10. He meant that painting was like a friend who never betrayed or abandoned him. This seems to suggest that he often felt lonely, misunderstood and/or disappointed in his relationship with other people.

二十一世纪报纸高三版阅读文章(附答案)
二十一世纪报纸高三版阅读文章 1. My Italian Treat (BCAD) Everyone has heard of the famous Italian dishes of pasta (面食) and pizza, far fewer have actually had the chance to taste them in Italy. But I was lucky enough to visit the country with my school and enjoyed my fill of these and other lively foods. We went to the town of Vietri, Salerno, in southern Italy. On the fist day, we were told that dinner would be at 7:30, but it actually began at 7:50. Our teachers had told us in advance about the relaxed pace of Italian life ! But still, we were starving (饥饿的). However, once it did, it was worth all the waiting. The sea-food salad was delicious, not too sour and not too salty. The cheeses were a different matter; I had heard they were famous, but it took me a while to get used to them. The fruits were excellent, so fresh they tasted as if they had just been picked. As we had been banned from drinking alcohol, we sipped (吮吸) water, instead of wine at meals. There were two types, one was ordinary, the other sparkling (发泡的) water. It tasted like a flavorless soda. During the visit, we discovered that real Italian pizza was very different from anything we had tasted before. It was cheap, savory(美味的) and had a soft texture (质地). My favorite was a plain one with just a cheese topping. Once I ate a whole one, almost 20cm in diameter (直径). I so stuffed (塞满) myself that I felt ill at the end of the meal. To be honest, unlike the other, I didn‘t much like the pasta. Perhaps I am too much in love with Chinese noodles to really take to them. My friend and I walked the whole of the town trying out different kinds of pastry (糕饼). The combination of sugar, cream and chocolate made them delicious. But if you hadn‘t had a sweet tongue, you would not have liked them, since they were very sweet. Every day, last thing in the evening, we had ice cream at a local store. We tried all the flavors ! It was so satisfying to go to bed on a full stomach with the memory of a whole day of eating fresh in your mind. Here‘s hoping that you too get to sample the wonderful food of Italy ! 1. In the article, the writer mainly tells us about _________. A. Italian pizza B. her experience of trying Italian foods C. the beautiful sights of Italy D. Italy‘s mysterious traditions 2. On the fist day in Italy, the dinner was delayed by 20 minutes probably because __________. A. the food they ordered was difficult to prepare B. waiting would give them a bigger appetite C. Italians have a relaxed attitude to life D. the Italians weren‘t very welcoming 3. During their stay in Italy, the writer enjoyed all of the following Italian foods EXCEPT____. A. pasta B. pizza C. sea-food salad D. pastries 4. The article tells us that the writer ___________. A. fell in love with Italian cheeses at her first bite B. felt ill after trying many flavors of ice cream C. doesn‘t have a sweet tongue D. was not allowed to drink alcohol in Italy 2. Hard Road to Success (BADC)

Brothers on the court 本文作者：21ST 期号：354 阅读数：205评论(0) 打印收藏 加索尔兄弟欧锦赛所向披靡！词数244 建议阅读时间7分钟About Marc Birthday: January 29, 1985 Height: 2.16m Weight: 120kg About Pau Birthday: July 6, 1980
Height: 2.13m Weight: 113kg SPANISH basketball fans should buy Mr and Mrs Gasol dinner. Their sons – Pau and Marc Gasol – led Spain to become the champion of European basketball. Spain beat France 98-85 in the final of the 2011 EuroBasket on September 18. “The Gasol brothers rule the court (球场),”Slovenia guard Saso Ozbolt said. “You have to pay attention to them, then the other players move in. That’s why it’s so tough to play against Spain.” The Gasol brothers both play in the NBA. Pau is the forward (前锋) of the Los Angeles Lakers and Marc plays for the Memphis Grizzles (孟菲斯灰熊队) as a center. But, besides their height, the brothers do not have much in common. On the court, Pau moves gracefully around opponents (对手) and Marc charges through them. In their spare time, Pau goes to art house theaters while Marc goes fishing. Yet Marc talks to Pau at least every other day and lives in Pau’s old apartment. “Little brothers have to go their own way sometimes,” Marc says. “But Pau has always been the best example for me to follow.” As a big NBA star, Pau has won two NBA championships with the Lakers and four All-stars. But Marc is catching up with his brother. During the last NBA season, Marc had an average of 15 points and 12 rebounds (篮板球) a game in the playoffs (季后赛), compared wit h Pau’s 13 and eight. Marc did better than his famous brother. 【中考词汇】 height n. 高度 用法：at the height of 在某个高度上； high adj. 高的。 She is at the height of her career. catch up with 赶上 用法：一般指在某领域赶上或追上。 As a new student, he quickly caught up with his classmates.

高二版二十一世纪英文报43期答案
答案解析 D1 1. C。原文提到"You've seen teens come back pretty aggressively (激进的) in terms of spending," 和"Teenagers are not a savings-oriented (倾向于储蓄的) bunch. They spend every dollar they get."和父母相比，青少年在消费方面更激进，几乎不存钱，所以对于零售业来说是更理想的顾客。 2. D。从Sabrina is shopping for a friend's birthday present.可知Sabrina 愿意为好朋友花费。而文中并没有提到她喜欢亮色的衣服，只是说她接受采访的时候在挑选亮色的衣服。其他的两个选项与文章内容不符。 3. C。由Also, as parents slowly recover from the downturn (衰退), money tends to be given to their children first, Cohen said.可知经济复苏的时候家长愿意给孩子钱花，这从一定程度上来说助长了青少年消费。 4. B。全文主要讲述了美国青少年消费今年出现了反弹，而这出乎专家的预料。文章进一步分析了出现这种情况的原因，对青少年的消费习惯虽有提及但并不是重点。 D2 1. A。第六段说明接触过杀虫剂的蜜蜂倾向于吃更甜的花蜜，而拒绝以前它们经常吃的不那么甜、但是能提供重要养料的花蜜；第七段的“the experiment found that bees treated with imidacloprid reduced the number of waggle dances they perfor med”说明杀虫剂也减少了蜜蜂的摇摆舞，所以bc正确，ad文中都没有提到。 2. C。由第四段的第一二句话得知，在试验中，生物学家先让蜜蜂接触到杀虫剂，然后用不同甜度的糖水来刺激蜜蜂的触角，观察蜜蜂对不同甜水的反应，因此C 正确。ABD文章里都没有提到。 3. B。由第二段可知，科学家做这项调查的起因是：在北美和欧洲的蜜蜂出现了不明原因的死亡，研究者们觉得这跟杀虫剂有关系。现在研究证明了这一点，因此，这个研究结果应该能够帮助减少蜜蜂的死亡率，a正确。再由最后一段的可知，cd正确。文章里没有提到农民们能因此收获更多的粮食。 D3 1. B。从第二段的“Fear of speed, fear of heights… they just weren’t for me”和第五段的“But a rollercoaster was too much”可知，作者主要是因为害怕，所以一直不敢坐过山车。
