“Someday, there’ll be no Americans left in the NBA,” said 12-year-old Xing Tao, who joined his school team two weeks ago after watching Yao Ming in a televised NBA game. “The players will all be Chinese, like Yao.”

To China, Yao is a home-grown superstar who helped make the world’s first basketball league closer to Chinese players. To the NBA, the 2.23-meter center offers an opening of a different sort into the world’s largest new market. Yao’s NBA first appe arance against the Indiana Pacers in October reached 287 million families in the US. That game might have been a bit of a letdown to Yao’s fans: He played just 11 of the 48 minutes, had two rebounds (抢篮板球) and got no points. Comparing that with his performance on December 19, also against Indiana, Yao won 29 points and 10 rebounds. “This is one of the most exciting games I’ve had,” Yao said after Houston’s 95-83 victory. The NBA has to be excited about his on-count success. In all his games, he’s averaging 12.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, quite good for a new star. “Yao Ming has brought the NBA closer to the Chinese,” said NBA spokeswoman Cheong Sau Ching, “That makes the dream seem practical for other people in China and proud to be Chinese.”

Yao is not the co untry’s first player in the NBA, but Yao’s combination of modesty and skills makes him a favorite back home.

31. What’s the direct reason for Xing Tao to join the school basketball team?

A. He watched an NBA game.

B. He liked basketball.

C. He hoped to play for NBA.

D. He had a dream that he would become a basketball star.

32. What does the underlined word “letdown” in the second paragraph mean?

A. failure

B. disappointment

C. surprise

D. sadness

33. What’s the main idea of t his passage?

A. Middle school students want to play basketball.

B. There’ll be no Americans left in the NBA.

C. Yao Ming makes NBA closer to China.

D. There are many new stars from China in the NBA.

B

It takes Te’Anne Collins more than an hour to get to school by bus. But for

her, it is worth it. Te’Anne is one of many talented students who will attend an interview for a musical theatre program at Wexford Collegiate School for the Arts. “She is someone with unbelievable talent, ” says her music teacher, A nn Merriam . “Te’Anne works two jobs, so she can support her studies and living expense.”

Te’Anne has come a long way since she first came to Wexford collegiate in 9th grade. She was new to the school and started going out with the wrong crowd. Her negative lifestyle and attitude caused her scores to decline steadily. It was Ann Merriam who pulled her aside. “She told me that she didn’t even know who I was and that she often heard bad things about me, ” says Te’Anne. “When I think about it now, I deserved i t.” Now in Grade 12, Te’Anne has fought her way to the front of the stage and has earned her place as an important member of Wexford Gleeks —a club that Ann Merriam has been running for over 20 years.

Ann Merriam is the founder of the famous musical theatre program, which has been attracting audiences for years. A bit of a maverick(独行其是者)，she quietly started the program in the 80’s on a shoestring budget, despite an important leader’s disagreement at the beginning. Wexford Gleeks is now one of the top competitors at the 2013 Show Choir Canada competition. Te’Anne’s story began to spread and soon telephone calls came flooding in the school board from kids’ parents, because they knew Ann Merriam never gave up on any student.

34. Te’Anne thinks a long bus jour ney is worthy, because she ______.

A. gets permission to attend Wexford Collegiate.

B. is praised by her music teacher for her talent.

C. is able to support her studies and living expenses.

D. gets an opportunity for a musical theatre program.

35. When Te’Anne was in Grade 9, she ______.

A. made a good friendship with her teachers.

B. worked two jobs to support her school fees.

C. behaved badly and associated with the wrong crowd.

D. attended an interview for a musical program.

36. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Te’Anne often heard of Ann Merriam in Grade 9.

B. Ann Merriam has managed Wexford Collegiate for 20 years.

C. Te’Anne stepped on the stage of Wexford Gleeks in Grade 12.

D. Ann Merriam regretted founding the musical theatre program.

37. From Paragraph 3, it can be inferred that ____.

A. Wexford Gleeks is a common art school.

B. Ann is the only leader of Wexford Gleeks.

C. Wexford Gleeks only pays attention to smart students.

D. more people want to attend Wexford Gleeks.

C

Every people has its own way of saying things with its own special expressions. Some of these expressions are easy to understand. “As Easy as Falling off a Log” is one such expression. It describes a job that doesn’t take much effort. If you ever tried to walk on a falling tree log, you may understand what the expression means. It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.

There are several other expressions that mean the same thing. And their meaning is as easy to understand as falling off a log. One is “Easy as Pie”. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet juicy pie, unless it is a piece of cake. “A Piece of Cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do.

Another express ion is “As Easy as Shooting Fish in a Barrel（桶）”. Clearly, fish in a barrel will be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream(河流). In fact, it would be as easy as falling off a log.

Sometimes, things that come to as easily also leave us just as easily. In fact, there is an expression “Easy Come Easy Go”. Another easy expression is “To Go Easy on a Person”. It means to treat a person kindly or gently, especially in a situation where you might be expected to be angry with him. A wife might ask her husb and to go easy on their son, because the boy didn’t mean to destroy the car. If it is necessary to borrow some money to fix the car, you should look for a friend who is an “Easy Touch”. An easy touch or a soft touch is someone who is kind and

helpful.

And one last expression, one that means ‘do not worry, or work too hard’. Try to keep away from diffi cult situations. “Take it easy”, until we meet again.

38. How many expressions about the word “easy” does the passage list?

A. 5.

B. 6.

C.7.

D.8.

39. Which of the following expressions has a different meaning from the other three?

A. As Easy as Falling off a Log.

B. A Piece of Cake.

C. Easy as Pie.

D. Easy Touch

40. A friend might tell you that his new job was______.

A. easy to come easy to go.

B. as easy as shooting fish in a barrel

C. to take it easy

D. to go easy on a person

41. Which of the following expressions is as easy as falling off a log?

A. Shooting fish in a barrel.

B. Walking on a falling tree log.

C. Staying on a log.

D. Shooting fish in a stream.

D

Most respected scientists agree that we need to find another source of energy- and quickly. If we continue to burn oil and pump carbon into the atmosphere, then the effects on global climate will lead to global disasters even before the oil disappear.

The British government has set a target of a 20 percent reduction in carbon emission by 2010. Central to this policy is the search for alternative, renewable forms of energy

production---and this is where the serious disagreement among scientists begins.

Here, two

people active in the debate about wind farms give their points of view.

Simon Shearman

“First, a few facts about wind power. Wind is one of the cheapest of the new, renewable forms of energy. It is extremely safe---no member of the public has ever been injured at a wind farm. The shallow waters around Britain are the windiest in Europe---ideal locations for wind farms and, by 2010, up to ten percent of the

electricity used in the UK could be produced by wind power. I find it annoying and frustrating that the biggest objection that opponents of wind farms can come up with is that the crisis of global warming is real and somethin g must be done urgently.”Alice Evans

“The simple, obvious fact is that wind turbines（涡轮机） cannot generate electricity if the wind is too light or too strong and it often is. Many scientists estimate that wind turbines generally produce only 30 percent of their capacity （容量）. This is not a reliable enough supply to enable us to close down conventional power stations. In fact, wind power can’t keep up with the growth of the demand for electricity, let alone replace other sources of power.”

It’s a topic that i s causing heated debate around the country---but one we must address before it’s too late---before the oil runs out.

42. Many scientists have different opinions on the search for a renewable energy because ______.

A. they are not sure in finding the clean and renewable energy.

B. British government’s target is not realistic.

C. they think fossil fuels are everlasting.

D. the technology is not advanced enough.

43. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. there won’t be a global disaster before the world runs out of oil.

B. the British government wants people to use 20 percent less oil by 2010.

C. Alice Evans supports the idea of wind power.

D. Simon Shearman thinks Britain a particularly suitable place for wind farms.

44. If we generate electricity with wind turbines, _______.

A. a light wind will do.

B. we cannot make full use of the capacity.

C. a strong wind will do

D. we’ll have enough electricity.

45. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Wind power is a good solution to energy crisis.

B. W e’re experiencing the oil crisis now.

C. We should find alternative energy for oil as soon as possible.

D. There is no need for us to worry about energy problem.

People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travelers feel more or less at

home.49. .

Nowadays, fewer people are working in their local towns, so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries, there is always another “home” waiting to be found.50. ,we can make the place we stay “home”.

A. Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the world

siblings(手足)

D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time

书面表达：

It’s very im portant for us to develop good habits. As teenagers, what should we do? In my opinion, we should listen to the teacher carefully and take notes when necessary. It is a good habit to finish the schoolwork on time every day. In spare

time, we had better read some books to get more knowledge. Also, we should eat more fresh fruit and vegetables and less junk food. It’s necessary for us to take exercise for three or four times a week. What’s more, to get enough sleep, go to bed early and don’t stay up late. Alwa ys remember to wash our hands before meals to keep clean. Exercise is fun and relaxing. It’s healthy for the mind and body. Healthy lifestyle helps us get good grades and live happily.
