In the past ten years, America?s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.

When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名册) will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.

The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.

“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is television. “We?ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.”The success of Chinese centre Y ao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.

“It doesn?t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA?s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.”As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets? Chinese centre Y ao Ming —number one draft pick in 2002 —and the Detroit Pistons? 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic —number two overall in this year?s draft —are idols in-waiting. It is the complete revolution —the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

59. According to the report, ___.

A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA

B. the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great

C. Y ao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA

D. European countries will host the 2004 NBA games

60. The underlined phrase “take China by storm” has the meaning of ___.

A. NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”

B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China

C. there?ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings

D. the NBA?s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China

61. What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?

A. NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league.

B. China?s rapid development in sports affects NBA.

C. Y ao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.

D. The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.

62. When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to __.

A. farms in the States

B. native Americans

C. the NBA training center

D. the USA

63. Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?

A. The Non-American Basketball Players

B. NBA Is Coming to China

C. The Foreign Ties That Bind the NBA

D. NBA Is Making Big Progress

C

A is for always getting to work on time.

B is for being extremely busy.

C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.

You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.

Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 ye ars ago: Hard work alone doesn?t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to “play the game.”

“People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior,” says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics derives from the word …polite?. It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.”

In fact, today, experts define office politics as pro per behavior used to pursue one?s own

self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.

“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perf orm well on a consistent basis,”says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It's simple human nature.”

Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics

in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery(奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors.

Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.

64. “Office politics” (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to ______.

A. the code of behavior for company staff

B. the political views and beliefs of office workers

C. the interpersonal relationships within a company

D. the various qualities required for a successful career

65. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but ______.

A. give his boss a good impression

B. honest and loyal to his company

C. get along well with his colleagues

D. avoid being too outstanding

66. The author considers office politics to be ______.

A. unwelcome at the workplace

B. bad for interpersonal relationships

C. indispensable to the development of company culture

D. an important factor for personal advancement

67. It is the author?s view that ______.

A. speaking up for oneself is part of human nature

B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery

C. hard work contributes very little to one's promotion

D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery

D

As soon as it was said that a reporter for Progressive magazine had discovered how to make a hydrogen bomb, a group of firearm (火器) fans formed the National Hydrogen Bomb Association, and they are now trying to persuade the politicians to stop Americans from owning one.

“The Constitution,” sai d the association?s spokesman, “gives everyone the right to own arms. It doesn?t spell out what kind of arms. But since anyone can now make a hydrogen bomb, the public should be able t o buy it to protect themselves.”

“Don?t you think it?s dangerous to have one in the house, particularly where there are children around?”

“The National Hydrogen Bomb Association hopes to educate people in the safe handling of this type of weapon. We are instructing owners to keep the bomb in a locked closet and the fuse (导火索) separately in a drawer.”

“Some people consider the hydrogen bomb a very fatal weapon which could kill somebody.”

The s pokesman said, “Hydrogen bombs don't kill people—people kill people. The bomb is for

self-protection and it also has a deterrent（威慑的）effect. If somebody knows you have a nuclear weapon in your house, they're going to think twice about breaking in.”

“But those who want to ban the bomb for American citizens claim that if you have one locked in the closet, with the fuse in a drawer, you would never be able to get it together in time to stop an intruder (侵入者).”

“Another argument against allowing people to own a bomb is that at the moment it is very expensive to build one. So what your association is backing is a program which would allow the middle and upper classes to acquire a bomb while poor people will be left defenseless with just handguns.”

68. Some people oppose the ownership of H-bombs by individuals on the grounds that ____.

A. the size of the bomb makes it difficult to keep in a drawer

B. most people don't know how to handle the weapon

C. people's lives will be threatened by the weapon

D. they may fall into the hands of criminals

69. By saying that the bomb also has a deterrent effect the spokesman means that it ______.

A. will frighten away any possible intruders

B. can show the special status of its owners

C. will threaten the safety of the owners as well

D. can kill those entering others' houses by force

70. According to the passage, opponents of the private ownership of H-bombs are very much worried that ______.

A. the influence of the association is too powerful for the less privileged to overcome

B. poorly-educated Americans will find it difficult to make use of the weapon

C. the wide use of the weapon will push up living expenses tremendously

D. the cost of the weapon will put citizens on an unequal basis

71. From the tone of the passage we know that the author is ______.

A. doubtful about the necessity of keeping H-bombs at home for safety

B. unhappy with those who vote against the ownership of H-bombs

C. not serious about the private ownership of H-bombs

D. concerned about the spread of nuclear weapons

E

Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to explore how the brain produces and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific argument: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born with, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C., the world's only liberal arts university for deaf people.

When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher.

Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English. But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? It was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing as “substandard”. Stokoe?s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说).

It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a café near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it?s brain stuff.”

72. The study of sign language is thought to be ______.

A. a new way to look at the learning of language

B. a challenge to traditional views on the nature of language

C. an approach to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language

D. an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language

73. The present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by ______.

A. a famous scholar in the study of the human brain

B. a leading specialist in the study of liberal arts

C. an English teacher in a university for the deaf

D. some senior experts in American Sign Language

74. Mo st educators objected to Stokoe?s idea because they thought ______.

A. sign language was not extensively used even by deaf people

B. sign language was too artificial to be widely accepted

C. a language should be easy to use and understand

D. a language could only exist in the form of speech sounds

75. Stokoe?s argument is based on his belief that ______.

A. sign language is as efficient as any other language

B. sign language is derived from natural language

C. language is a system of meaningful codes

D. language is a product of the brain

Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay, because, perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray matter between your ears will determine your future. These words actually describe millions of people worldwide who choose to limit their potential ability by not widening their education.

A person is much more likely to have better job offers, more successful career, and a higher yearly salary with a better education. This, in turn, would allow for much better life style. For example, compare two people. The first person is a high school dropout. The second has a law degree. The high

school dropout will be fortunate to get a job in food services, making less than twenty thousand dollars a year, barely surviving each week. To contrast this, the person with the law degree will certainly have a successful career as a lawyer, making over $ 70,000 annually. The lawyer will, of course, have a very wealthy lifestyle. Statistics show that high school dropouts make 42% less money than college graduates.

Our generation will become the doctors, lawyers, teachers and leaders of tomorrow. To do this successfully, a higher level of education is very important! A higher education will mean a better life style, a better ability to adjust to new technologies, and a various life. Our world cannot afford any unused potential.

We must crave learning. This, in turn, will pay for not only our future but also will help to insure success for those who follow.
