The idea came to him when he was working for the Young Mens Christian Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. Dr. Naismith never allowed laziness and physical inactivity (休止状态) in his students, but during the winters, when outdoor activities were challenging, he wanted to give his students something to do besides the usual boring fitness routines. It would have to be an indoor game, but what kind? Hockey, football, and baseball were all in existence, but he thought it necessary to invent some new game that would be superb physical exercise, and demand very good stamina (精力). He worked hard to modify (修改)games such as football and hockey, and to invent something that would be played easily in the comfort of a large hall. One of the things he decided that he needed was a ball that could be easily picked up and thrown. Its dimensions (表面积) should be neither too great nor too small. Because he was in search of a new game, he dropped the idea of carrying the ball toward a target, and decided that the players couldnt run with the ball, and would have to pass it instead. The target into which the ball was to be put was placed at some height to test the deftness (灵巧) of the playershands, and their strength. For every successful shot, a team was awarded a point. Initially peach baskets were used instead of the present rope baskets that let the balls pass through. Being a very modest person, Dr. Naismith refused to let the game be named Naismithball, and chose the name basketball instead. And under that name, of course, it has become famous.36. Why did Dr. Naismith want to invent a new game?A. Outdoor activities were challenging in winter. B. His students didnt work hard as he expected. C. He aimed to change the usual training routines. D. His students needed to improve their stamina.37. Which of the following was NOT a requirement for the new game?A. The ball should be neither too big nor too small.B. The players should carry the ball while running toward a target.C. The target for the ball should be at a certain height.D. The game should be easily played in a large hall.38. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Hockey, baseball and football came into existence before basketball.B. The height of the basketball target was designed to test the playersskill and strength. C. Peach baskets were first used as targets.D. Dr. Naismith preferred the name Naismithballto basketball. 39. What is the text mainly about?A. The life of the inventor of basketball. B. When and where Dr. Naismith invented basketball. C. The history and development of basketball. D. How Dr. Naismith invented basketball.40. We would most likely find this text in the _ section of a newspaper.A. health B. entertainment C. education D. sportsB If you are a student who wants to get high grades while spending less time working for them, then the book, How to Become a Straight-AStudent, is one you should read. You definitely do have to work hard, but the book tells you where and how to spend your energy working to get those high grades, while also having time left over for sleep and entertainment. The book, written by Cal Newport, is obviously specifically written for high school students. It is divided into three parts. The first part addresses Study Basics, in which Newport outlines the benefits and methods of time management and study tips. In the second part about Quizzes and Exams, he outlines how to take notes and then use them well for studying. He also provides hints for taking tests and exams. The third part is about case studies of his recommendations in action, in which you can read about the learning experiences of some top students. Most of the information that he provides in the book is based on the experience of real students who got excellent grades in high school. According to Newport, these A-level students also had plenty of time for other activities such as partying, sleeping and other interests, because they had learned to study more efficiently than other students who spent most of their time studying hard in an attempt to get good grades. I really like the layout (编排). The three parts of the book cover the areas that students need to be most concerned with. I feel that the book would be very helpful to a large number of students. I do not think that every piece of information in the book will work for all students or even needs to be followed by every student. However, it is an excellent place to start if you are just beginning your high school life or if you have already started but are finding yourself falling behind.41. What do we know about Cal Newports book?A. It is specially written for top students.B. It is mainly about how to arrange ones time.C. It is based on the experience of the author. D.

It doesnt necessarily work for all students. C. It doesnt cover the areas students are concerned with.D. Its layout is the most useful part.44. What is the main idea of this text?A. The reason why A-level students succeed in studying.B. The reason why Cal Newports book is popular.C. A book review on How to Become a Straight-A Student.D. The way students can get high grades.45.

Keiko is a killer whale who is now living in a hidden bay. In 1979, when Keiko was one or two, he was captured. In 1982 he was moved to an amusement park in Ontario, Canada, and three years later another park took him to Mexico City. There, the 6.4-meter whale lived in a small pen(圈)in water that was too warm. In 1993 the movie FreeWillymade people aware of his situation, and in 1996 the Free Willy Keiko Foundation moved him to a pool in an aquarium(水族馆) in Newport, Oregon. The foundation spent over $12 million returning Keiko to Iceland, his home. Late last year the 4,000-pound whale was flown on a C-17 transport plane to a pen near the Wesman Islands. Critics thought Keiko would suffer in the cold water. Instead, he loves it, and has become more active. He likes to jump out of the water to get sprayed by the salt spray. Since his return, he has been acting more like a wild whale. He dives more often and eats more live fish. Keiko still isnt ready to go out alone into the open sea. Trainers hope to put him in a larger bay, and to train him to follow a boat. They dont know what Keiko will do when he meets other sea animals. So far the only animals who had come near Keiko left when they saw him. They would like to let Keiko free this summer. No one knows if he will be ready. If he isnt, the Keiko Foundation is ready to take care of him, at a cost of about $1 million a year. 46. What do we learn about Keiko from the text?A. He was born in a warm bay.B.

Keiko Got Noticed Through a Movie D Old age may not sound exciting. But a recent study led by Arthur Stone of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York offers good news for older people, and for people worried about getting older. Researchers have found that people become happier, and experience fewer worries, after the age of fifty. In fact, they say, by the age of eighty-five most people are happier than when they were eighteen. In the survey, more than three hundred and forty thousand adults between the age of eighteen and eighty-five in the United States were asked about emotions like happiness, sadness, and worry, as well as mental and emotional stress. The results show that levels of stress are highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five, and descend sharply after people reach their fifties, while happiness is highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. Those in their seventies and eighties are least likely to report negative emotions. The study also shows that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older, but that women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men. Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have, and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences. Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be related to how people see the changes of the world. The researchers also considered the possession of young children, unemployment, and being single, but found that these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.51.

According to the survey, people feel happiest when they are in their_.A. late twenties B. early fifties C. early seventies D. late eighties55. We can conclude from the text that _.A. men and women over seventy have similar emotional patternsB. men usually feel sadder and more stressed than women C. the researchers mainly chose people over fifty to take the surveyD. the researchers know why ol
