阅读理解。     When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone"s number in the phone book. I
used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan"s phone number. When I
couldn"t find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I"d ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
     A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought
in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a
special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually
made a shot.   We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
      I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as
junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school
started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups
and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave
us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn"t want to do the sit-ups and push-ups,
we could practice dribbling (运球) and shooting more. It"s just us, the ball, the court and the net. But
don"t take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I"m just one kid playing the game.1. From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.A. the author"s mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B. the phone book contained everyone"s phone number except Michael Jordan"s
C. the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D. the author didn"t know how to use a phone at that time2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B. The author"s excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C. The days before the author went to senior high school.
D. The author"s happy childhood with his teammates.3. What surprised the author most at the recreation center?A. That it was very near to his home.
B. That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C. That there was a special smell in it.
D. That there was a fast food restaurant in it.4. The author"s coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.A. it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B. it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C. it is the only way to make people stronger
D. it helps keep stomach power5. What"s the author"s purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B. To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C. To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D. To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.

阅读理解。     One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached
and pulled out a knife.
    "He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, "Here you go "" Diaz says.
     As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, "Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you"re
going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm."
     The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, "Why are you doing this?"

money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me….."

     "The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi," Diaz says.
     The kid said, "You know everybody here. Do you own this place?"
     "No, I just eat here a lot," Dias said. "But you"re even nice to the dishwasher," he said.
     Diaz replied, "Well, haven"t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?"
     "Yea, but I didn"t think people actually behaved that way," the teen said.
     When the bill arrived, Diaz said, "You"re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my
money and I can"t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I"ll gladly treat you."
     The teen returned it immediately. "I gave him $20…I figure maybe it"ll help him." Diaz says he asked
for something in return- the teen"s knife-"and he gave it to me."
     Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, "You"re the type of kid that if
someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch."

as it gets in this complicated world."1. What did Diaz do to the teen?A. He gave the teen a new wallet

阅读理解。     In eighteen seventy-seven, the American government decided to move the Nez Perce Indians from
their land. The government had set up a reservation for them in Idaho. Chief Joseph did not want to leave
the land. It was holy ground. It contained the bones of his father and mother.
    But, like his father in earlier times, Chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to stay and defend the
land. There were too few Indians to win a war against the white men.
     And so in June of eighteen seventy-seven, the Nez Perce left their home in the Wallowa Valley. They
left quickly. They were able to take only a small part of what they owned, and just a few cattle and
Appaloosa horses.
     When the Indians reached the Snake River, the water was very deep and ran very fast with melted
snow from the mountains. Chief Joseph and his people made boats from sticks and dried animal skins to
cross the river. While the Indians were busy, a group of white men came and stole some of the cattle
waiting at the edge of the river.
     The other chiefs demanded that Joseph call a meeting. Two of the chiefs, White Bird and
Toohoolhoolzote, spoke for War, but Joseph held different opinion.
    Some of the young men in White Bird"s group were very angry. That night, they rode into the
countryside and killed eleven white persons.
    During all his years as chief, Joseph had tried to keep the peace. Now he saw there was no hope.
Although he and his young men had taken no part in the killings, he knew that the white men would blame
all of the Indians. Chief Joseph said, "I would have given my own life if I could have undone the killing of
the white men."
     Many Nez Perce fled. Chief Joseph remained, because his wife was about to have a baby. After she
gave birth, he and his family joined the others in White Bird Canyon to the south.
     Joseph wanted to lead the people to safety in the flat lands of Montana. But the United States army
quickly sent horse soldiers to follow them.
     They were extremely tired when they reached White Bird Canyon. An Indian-carrying a white
flag-walked forward to meet them. A soldier shot him.
     With that shot, war between the Nez Perce and the United States began.1. Why didn"t Chief Joseph want to leave the land?A. He thought the reservation in Idaho wasn"t satisfying.
B. He didn"t want to be separated from his parents.
C. He had special feeling for the land where he was living.
D. He didn"t want to live with the white men.2. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Before they left their home, the Nez Perce had only a few cattle and Appaloosa horses.
B. Chief Joseph and his people were unwilling to cross the deep river.
C. When the Indians reached the Snake River, it was very hard for them to cross it.
D. While the Indians were waiting by the river, a group of white men stole some of the cattle.3. From the passage we can infer that         . A. chief Joseph knew it would be hopeless to defend the land
B. white men often killed some Indians
C. chief Joseph was afraid of white men
D. conflicts often happened between the Indians and the white4. After some of the young men in White Bird"s group killed eleven white persons,         . A. Chief Joseph blamed White Bird
B. Chief Joseph tried his best to keep peace
C. All the Nez Perce fled
D. The United States army wanted to revenge(报仇)5. What might be the title of the passage? A. The story of Chief Joseph.

阅读理解。     George Zimmerman"s first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection
with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The case has caused a national debate in the United
States about race, self-defense laws and gun control.
    It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman. The judge said he
had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally
charged on May 29th.
    Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night, just before special prosecutor (检举
人)Angela Corey announced the charge against him.
    Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin.
    "It"s the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for " Corey said.
    Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community
where   Martin"s father lives. He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict.The shooting caused a
national cry led by Martin"s parents who insisted their son was murdered. They also accused Zimmerman
of targeting their son because he was black.
     "We just wanted an arrest and we got it," Trayvon Martin"s mother Fulton said.
     Many in Sanford, Florida -the city where the shooting took place-welcomed the charge.
    "All of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the justice
system," one man said.
     "It was long overdue (迟到的) and I am glad they decided to do something," another said.
     Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person
has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force. Prosecutor Corey say:
     "" I"m prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in court"".
     Mark O"Mara, Zimmerman"s lawyer, would not make his plan public, but he said his client (委托人)
was worried about the trial.
    "If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge, Zimmerman could face up to life in prison.",
O"Mara said. 1. Why did the case draw so much attention around U.S.A?A. Because George Zimmerman was very cruel when he killed Trayvon Martin.
B. Because Trayvon Martin"s father was a famous lawyer.
C. Because the case was related with race, self-defense laws and gun control.
D. Because George Zimmerman would be sentenced to life in prison.2. What"s Angela Corey"s attitude towards this case?A. She showed sympathy for the black people.
B. She wanted to defend justice for the victims.
C. She hated George Zimmerman very much.
D. She was against self-defense.3. Which of the relationships is NOT true?A. Zimmerman shot Martin during a conflict.
B. Mark O"Mara was Zimmerman"s lawyer.
C. Sybrina Fulton was Martin"s mother.
D. Angela Corey was the judge of the case.4. Which of the following statements is the Fact?A. Zimmerman turned himself into authorities before he was charged.
B. Zimmerman would be put into prison.
C. Zimmerman shot Martin in self-defense in a gated community.
D. Zimmerman targeted Trayvon Martin because he was black. 5. From the passage we can know         .A. all people welcomed the charge in the city where the shooting took place
B. Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin"s mother couldn"t agree on how the thing happened
C. Mark O"Mara was willing to make his plan public
D. police did not charge Zimmerman with a crime at last
