Reasons why people love to play
basketball
Basketball is so popular that
almost every country in the world plays the
sport．Almost every person knows how to play
the sport．I have seen people playing
indoors
and outdoors so many times，but it is mostly played
outdoors along the streets．
__1__
Basketball is very affordable．All you need is
a ball and a basketball court．The
ball does
not cost that much．__2__On the other hand，finding
a basketball court is
not a problem
either．There are lots of schools and communities
which open their gates
for individuals who
want to play the game．
__3__If you are unable
to use the courts in both public and private
schools，
there are a lot more social
communities that provide them．Some local
governments
try to set up public sports areas
for everyone to enjoy．If you want to play，all
you need to do is go to the nearest basketball
court available in your community or
your
local basketball club．
Many other sports can
be played only by two or four people．In this case
you get
tired and bored in waiting for your
turn．However，basketball enables you to play
with five or more friends all at the same
time． __4__
There are accessible basketball
camps．If you want to learn more about the sport
and improve your basketball skills，you can
attend basketball camps．__5__These camps
provide outstanding tutors who can help you
improve your shooting，dribbling，and
other
basketball abilities．
A．Basketball can be
played anywhere．
B．Basketball provides a whole
lot of fun．
C．They are available and nearly
open for everyone．
D．I will explain why people
love to play basketball．
E．You're able to meet
people with similar interests．
F．You can have
different choices when it comes to the prices．
G．In basketball，you can have great chances of
playing all the time．

br>文章大意：这是一篇议论文，主要讲述了为什么那么多人喜欢篮球运动。通过本文，读
者可以知道
：打篮球不只是运动，也是一种很好的娱乐方式。它可以锻炼身体，也可以增强
自己的身体协调性，更可
以增进伙伴间的友谊。
答案：
1．D 这是一个承上启下的过渡句。上文说那么多人喜欢篮
球运动，下面几段集中讲述
那么多人喜欢篮球运动的具体原因，所以该空白处答案应该是选项D。
2．F 空白处前面的信息“Basketball is very
affordable．”“The ball does not cost
that
much”与选项F中的信息“the prices”一致，所以此处答案为选项F。
3．A 空白
处后面几句话中的关键词“courts”“schools”“communities”，“sports
areas”“the nearest basketball
court”“basketball
club“说明本段主要谈论“打篮
球的场地”，所以选项A正确。
4．G 本段主要讲述同
时打篮球的人数有很多，这既能避免其他运动项目的不足，又能
让参与该运动的人员不太累地一直在玩。
所以此处答案为选项G。误解分析：本题容易误选
成A或B。这三个选项都谈及打篮球有利因素，学生可
能会造成错解。
5．C 空白处前后的信息“accessible”，“basketball
camps”和“These camps”在
逻辑上与C项中的”They”“available
and nearly open for everyone”是一致的。

Dear Worried Moms，
Chatting online is
popular and you can allow your 13yearold
children to chat
online．__1__The computer
security company，McAfee，offers these safety tips：
1．Position the computer in your main living
space and make sure the screen faces
outward
so there is no secrecy．This is the most valuable
thing you can do for your
child's health and
safety online．
2．__2__Discuss with your child
exactly what is OK and what is not OK．The topics
may include which chat rooms to visit and what
kinds of things to talk about there．Set
logical consequences for your child's
violating your rules，but don't threaten to
ban
the Internet forever．
3．Set strict time limits
for Internet chat use．Internet addiction is a real
thing！
4．Make it clear to your child that
people in chat rooms are always strangers，
no
matter how often they chat to them，and no matter
how well they think they know
them．While they
may be good people，they are still strangers．__3__
5．Make sure your child understands that they
should never give personal
information online．Their real names，their
schools，their phone numbers or where
they live
should be kept to themselves．
6．__4__This is
when they are most vulnerable．Make sure that their
chat time
occurs when you are around in the
house so that you can check in on them regularly．
7．Be sure to require your child that they
should behave politely and respectfully
at all
times while chatting online with strangers or
sending emails to friends．
8．Don't panic！ No
one can harm your child through the Internet as
long as your
child follows your rules．
9．Take an active interest in your child's
activity online．Do not use the Internet
as a
babysitter！__5__If you don't know how to chat
online，ask your child to teach
you！
A．Work
as a team to set your boundaries．
B．Require
your child to tell you if they get any weird or
upsetting messages
while chatting．
C．Learn
to surf the Web and chat online yourself so you
can understand what it
is that your child is
doing．
D．However，you should set some
restrictions such as finishing homework first．
E．Your child should therefore not always
believe everything people say in chat
rooms．
F．Help your child choose his screen name
carefully，which should be gender
neutral．
G．Do not permit your child to be left alone in
cyberspace for long periods of
time．

文章大意： 本文为一封书信，写给那些对自己的孩子能不能上网聊天存
有疑问的母
亲们。作者认为可以同意他们上网聊天，但要给他们设置一些规则，同时大人也要给予一定<
br>的监督。
答案：
1．D 上句意为“上网聊天现在很流行，你可以允许你13岁的孩
子上网聊天”，本句应
是对上句的补充，D项意为“但是，你应该给他们设置些前提条件，比如要先完成
作业”，
符合题意。
2．A 此处为该段主题句，概括本段内容可知，要和孩子一起讨论然后
设定一些约束，
如可以进入哪些聊天室，可以谈论哪些话题等，由此可知A项正确。
3．E
本段指出要让孩子清楚网上的所有人都是陌生人，从而得出E项正确，告诉孩子
不要总是相信聊天室中人们所说的事情。
4．G 本段中的you are
around与G项中的be left alone相对应，不要让孩子独自一
人上网很长时间，因为
这是他们最容易受到伤害的时候，你要陪在他们身边，时不时地进行
监督。
5．C 本段指出
你要对孩子的网上活动进行关注，最后一句意为“如果你不知道怎样上
网聊天的话，让你的孩子教你”，
由此可推断出作者建议家长也去学上网聊天冲浪，故C项
正确。

How
can you turn interests into career ideas？ Here are
some ideas．
Write it down．
As in so many
situations，writing down your thoughts is a good
way to get
started．__1__Be specific about what
it is you love about something and what your
role is in it．Also，think about your
personality and how you do things．
Work
backward．
__2__Then figure out what you can do
now to get there．Let's say that you want
to be
a marine biologist．Which classes will you have to
take in college？ Which of
your current classes
can help you build skills you'll need？
Try a
new method．
__3__For instance，if you love
art，you may be able to choose a topic for a
history
paper that investigates the connection
between the art movements and key political
events of a particular time period．
__4__
Your counselor(辅导员)，principal and teachers can
help you figure out how to
make the most of
high school．Try asking these questions：Does our
school offer elective
classes that I may be
interested in？ Are there school clubs related to
my interests？
If not，how do I start one？ Can I
take an interest inventory？
Try new things．
If you're open to stepping outside your
comfort zone，you'll find yourself meeting
new
people，going places you never imagined and
discovering skills and talents you
didn't
think you had．__5__
A．Ask for help．
B．Think about the things you love to do．
C．Write down your answers and any other
thoughts．
D．New opportunities can come to you
in many ways．
E．Ask yourself what
you want to do or be after college．
F．A list
of your skills and talents may help you discover a
career path．
G．See if you can approach
homework in a way that allows you to explore your
interests．

文章大意：如何使自己的兴趣
与爱好和未来要从事的工作联系起来？本文建议我们在高
中阶段要学习自己感兴趣的内容。
答案：
1．B 根据下文中的“Also，think about your
personality and how you do
things．”
可推知，此处应选择B项(想想你喜欢做的事情)，以呼应下文。
2．E
下文提到想一想你现在该如何做才能达到这个目标。E项(问问自己大学毕业后想
要做什么或成为什么)
引起对下文的论述。
3．G 本段主旨为：尝试新的方法。G项(看看是否能用一种能够让你探索自己
兴趣的方
法完成作业)与本段主旨相符。
4．A 本空后的下一段主要讲述了通过向辅导员、
校长或老师等人求助搞清楚如何充分
利用高中阶段。A项(请求帮助)符合本段主旨。
5．D
上文提到如果你愿意走出自己的舒适区，你会认识新朋友，去你从未想过的地方，
还能发现你不认为自己
具有的才能。D项(新的机会会以很多方式出现)符合此处语境。
Ⅱ．阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

I believe we students should allowed
to carry cell phones to school because we
face
many danger today．Cell phones help us to keep in
the touch with our parents
and to let them
know when they have a problem．Also，if our parents
have to change
arrangements they had made with
us，they can text us or call us．Some teachers
complain
for some of us using cell phones in
class，and most of us don't do this．To solve
this，schools can just make a rule about not
use cell phones in class．Using cell
phones are
part of modern life and if we use them sensible，we
can carry them to school．

Last weekend we went
mountainclimbing．Even the heavy rain in the
morning could
not prevent us go．Setting off
very early，we went along an extreme narrow
road，
all in high spirits．On every side of the
road were green fields and some farm house．We
could hear the sound of the rain and our
footsteps mixing with our laughter．At noon
we
reached the top of the mountain．That surprised us
most there was the beauty of
scenes．After
having a short rest there and sharing with the
food we had brought，
we started going down．It
had rained even harder．We were wet to the skin，and
we
still sang and laughed happily．
