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．

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 13-year-
old 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 alo
ne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<
/p>
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
mountain-climbing．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．
