AYao Ming is one of the most influential individuals ever to live in the United States of America. So, how does a Chinese male, born in Shanghai, become an international superstar, who changes the way both cultures look at each other? Ming stands 226cm, which makes him one of the tallest players ever to play the game, but that is not the extent of his power. Ming was tall, and talented.Ming started his career in China, where he played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association. That was the season when the Sharks won a CBA championship. He was able to negotiate a release from his contract with the Sharks, making him qualified for the National Basketball Association Draft in 2002. Ming was one of the most sought-after players ever to come from China, and he was eventually drafted by the Houston Rockets.His size and strength made him an amazing presence. He was so big and talented that he could dominate any game just by being on the court. Ming led the Rockets to the team's first playoff appearance in several years, but his statistical totals were not so impressive. Still, Ming was one of the most popular players in NBA history. The fans loved him, and voted him into the all-star game eight times.Ming did create some degree of envy from other players, most notably Shaquille O'Neal from the Los Angeles Lakers. O'Neal was one of the most influential players in the game for a brief number of years, and in 2003, Ming outvoted O'Neal in an NBA fan vote by more than 250,000 votes. This angered O'Neal, who swore to outplay Ming whenever the two giants met on the court.21. What can we know from this passage?A.

Sometimes the journey to the perfect present starts with an hour-long line at the mall parking garage. Talk about frustrating: you can’t take your foot off the brake, let alone step into a store. So, we decided to ditch our wheels and take to the streets on foot. Picking presents should be fun, so we’ve searched far and wide for America’s best commercial avenues (大街) . Here is what we’ve found. On these select avenues, stores are thought to be historic sites, and sidewalks become catwalks.Michigan Avenue Chicago, IIIMichigan Avenue hosts some of Chicago’s most beloved monuments, the Chicago Water a collection of hundreds of stores and restaurants. The city decorates this.ent Mile Tower, the Art Institute of Chicago, Millennium Park and, of course, the “Magnificent Mile”—a collection of hundreds of stores and restaurants. The city decorates this wonderful commercial stretch with twinkling lights, while the shops do their part to engineer creative holiday displays in their windows.Nicollet Avenue Minneapolis, MinnSome people think that, apart from Chicago, Midwest fashion is non-existent. Those people are wrong. Here, you'll find stores that cater (迎合) to a range of budgets. And while the city’s indoor Mall of America still attracts some of the most stubborn shopaholics, we think you'll appreciate the friendly atmosphere exhibited on this urban street. Minneapolis' holiday spirit is best seen during the Holidazzle parades(游行庆祝), which continue through Nicollet Mall every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting at 6: 30 p. m. between Thanksgiving and the weekend before.Fifth Avenue New York City, N.Y.Fifth Avenue is America's president shopping street. With old monuments like Tiffany Co. and new ones like the Apple Store, this avenue's Midtown stretch turns out commercial success. A company that secures a Fifth Avenue address is making a statement to the world that it has "made it." And the payoff is that consumers can find many of their favorite brands on one street. In our opinion, Fifth Avenue still conquers supreme. Even if you aren't looking to buy at least pass by Bergdorf Goodman, Lord Taylorand Saks Fifth Avenue for a glance at their holiday windows.25. If you want your holiday shopping to be fun, what do you have to do?A. Pay for the mall parking fees.B. Drive your car to the malls.C. Make preparations carefully.D. Walk to shopping.26. Which of the following avenues is the most suitable one for whoever is rich or not?A. Nicollet Avenue.B. Michigan Avenue.C. Fifth Avenue.D. Minneapolis, Minn.27. If you’re interested in the most popular monuments, which avenue had you better choose?A. Fifth Avenue.B. Nicollet Avenue.C. Michigan Avenue.D. New York City, N.Y.28. Where is the text taken from most probably?A. A notebook.B. A document.C. A newspaper.D. A report.CDisney has made a lot of money producing live-action remakers of their own animated classics (动画经典) . Now the company has just set a date for one more film in that way. Mulan will hit the screen on November 2, 2018 twenty years after the release of Disney’s animated-version. The film will have a 3D live-action adaptation and Disney will start a global search for a Chinese actress to play the title role.Among the major releases announced by Disney, Mulan is now the only film set for an extract date. The new Mulan is described as a more elaborate(精心构思的) retelling that will draw from not just the 1998 animated film, but also the classic Chinese legend that inspired it Like the original film, the story centers on Hua Mulan, a young Chinese woman who dressed up as a man so she could take her elderly fathers place to fight a war.The animated Mulan took in over $ 300-million worldwide, but there’s every chance that a live-action film will go well beyond that figure to achieve global success. With a global search for the lead role soon to be underway and with the story set just within Chinese history, this could be a huge win for everyone involved. No director or star has been announced for the film but as the project moves forward we can expect to get more details.In addition, Disney confirmed several more live-action films lined up for next few years including The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Winnie the Pooh, and more in various stages of development.29.

The successful story of the Disney company.31. What’s the author’s attitude towards the live-action Mulan having global success?A. Optimistic.B. Pessimistic.C. Doubtful.D. Uncertain.DFixed or growth mindset (思维模式)—which do you have? We live in an uncertain world with all the technological advances we are experiencing, which means that there is a requirement for a change in mindset. In order to be on top of our game both personally and organizationally, we need to develop a growth mindset.A fixed mindset supposes that you have native abilities and are naturally clever or skilled in certain areas of life. When you receive information about how you have performed in a test or set of tasks, you may worry about how you are judged. Our parents probably said to us when we were young. "Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever." However, by being repeatedly told "You are clever" or "You are really great at your job", a person’s self-esteem (自尊) is actually damaged.The growth-mindset individuals view life as a series of exciting challenges and want to constantly learn. Brain activity occurs in this mindset when they receive information about what they could do better or improve. They do not view their abilities as fixed or as failure. Learning is king and the more they practise, the more they know they will succeed.What is important is giving praise around process and not around ability. For example instead of saying "Since you scored really well in the test, you must be clever, we should say Since you got a great score, you must have tried really hard. This creates a challenge in individuals and encourages them to take on more tasks, responsibilities and risks.Listen from your own fixed mindset -for example, "I cant do that." —and answer with agrowth-mindset response —“I can't do that yet!” Remember, there is no such thing as failure and there’s only learning. If you don't fail occasionally, you will never learn to change and grow.32. What's the author's opinion of people's mindsets?A. A fixed mindset helps to protect reputation.B. People should develop a growth mindset.C. People need to stand a fixed mindset.D. A growth mindset means no failure.33. Which judgement is more encouraging to those with a fixed mindset?A. You are great at your job.B. You have worked hard.C. You are clever.D. You are the best student.34. What do the growth mindset individuals support strongly?A. Viewing ability as a failure.B. Giving praise around ability.C. Keeping on learning.D. Taking more responsibility.35. What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?A. Failure is the mother of success.B. There is no failure in the world.C. It's good to learn from others’ mistakes.D. Never do what you actually can't.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
