ASports are the base of my life, next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us. I have been into sports since I was six years old. I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips, but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play.When I was in Senior Two, I met the new school basketball coach, Brian Pawloski. I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before. I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I’d make it with no problem. That was a big mistake.Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met. He didn’t expect 100% effort, he expected 200% effort. One example: he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups (投篮) we missed in a game. Some think this is crazy, but it isn’t. After this conditioning practice, as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink, I said, “Coach, that was the best practice I ever had.”I was completely sincere. This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school. He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom. If I am not working on basketball, I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life’s challenges, including Wooden, Coach, and The Screwtape Letters.In the first two years I slacked off, not putting forth my full potential. Now, unlike the coaches of my youth, this man was interested in how he did off the court. He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted. I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball, but more importantly, in life. My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach, coach and influence their students. I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest timesI have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual.21. Different from other coaches, Coach Brian ________.A. concentrated on skill trainingB. trained the team to the edge of deathC. expected the team to do well in their studiesD. asked the team to do more reading than training22. The underlined phrase “slacked off”in the last paragraph probably means ________.A. paid no attentionB. showed no interestC. had less passionD. made less effort23. In the author’s eye, Coach Brian is ________.A. strict and helpfulB. hard-working and honestC. skilled and cruelD. professional and seriousBMom wanted only one thing for her birthday. “Can you find me another copy of this song?”she asked, and handed me a worn-out cassette tape. I knew exactly what was recorded on it: My Redeemer(救世主). I heard the song played at least a thousand times while growing up. After so many years, the cassette tape was too worn out to be used. I promised her I would find a replacement. My Redeemer became Mom’s favorite song after my younger brother Tim was killed by a drunk driver in 1973. The only thing that helped her calm down was the soulful sound of My Redeemer from the local radio station.We recorded it on a cassette tape so she could listen to it any time she wanted but none of us knew who the soloist(独唱者) was. These days, I thought the song would be easy to find out. I went home and searched the Internet. Several songs with that title popped up, but none of them was the one Mom loved.I got frustrated. Mom’s birthday drew near and then one day, I was driving home, listening to our local radio station. A familiar tune came on. It was My Redeemer! As soon as I could, I phoned the station. I got a line on the soloist, who was called Alan Parks. I typed his name into Google and found his home number in South Carolina. Minutes later, I was telling him how much his recording meant to Mom. He offered to ship two CDs out to me personally. I gave him my address.“Red Lion, Pennsylvania?”he said. “Do you know the Logans?”“They are our neighbors!”“I’ve been friends with them for 25 years,”Alan said. “They’ll be at my concert at York Gospel Chapel on April 17th. Would you and your mom come too?”We sure would. Mom was excited to hear Alan sing My Redeemer to her, live in concert—on the evening of her 87th birthday.24. Why was the song My Redeemer so important to the author’s mother?A. It could comfort her sad and painful mood.B. It reminded her of the love from her husband.C. It was given to her by a very important friend.D. It was the only thing that the author’s brother left her.25. What does the underlined part “got a line on”in Paragraph 3 mean?A. Talked happily with.B. Thought a lot about.C. Made request of.D. Got information about.26. What can we learn about Alan Parks from this passage?A. He lived in Red Lion, Pennsylvania.B. He is a kind and warm-hearted musician.C. He offered to give the author two cassette tapes.D. He would sing for the author’s mom on the radio station.27. Which of the following is most surprising?A. Alan Parks and the author lived in the same neighborhood.B. Alan Parks happened to get to know the author’s mother.C. The author’s mother went to the concert on her birthday.D. The author’s mother became good friends with Alan Parks.CThe Leaning Tower of Pisa was straight like a pole when the construction began in 1173. It started to shift direction soon after construction because of poor foundation in addition to the loose layer of subsoil(底土). At the beginning, it leaned to the southeast before the shaky foundation started to shift leaning towards the southwest. After the period of structural strengthening at the beginning of the 21st century, now the Leaning Tower of Pisa leans at an angle of 3.97 degrees.In 1178, the shift in direction was observed for the first time when the construction had progressed further to the third floor. The tower was heavy for the three-meter foundation that was built on a weak area of land.For compensating(补偿) the leaning position, the builders started to construct the upper floors with one side higher than the other one. This caused the tower to lean in the other direction. This unusual structure led to the tower being actually curved. In spite of these efforts, the tower kept on leaning.The government of Italy started to plan prevention of the complete collapse of the tower in 1964. However, a request was put forward by the authorities to keep the leaning position because of the tourism industry of the region.After nearly two decades of careful planning by engineers, historians and mathematicians, thestabilization efforts for the Leaning Tower of Pisa started in 1990. The tower was closed for the general public and the people living nearby moved away. For reducing the total weight of the tower, its seven bells which represented the seven musical notes were removed. The tower was reopened for the general public on December 15, 2001.In May 2008, after removing another 70 metric tons of earth, the engineers announced that the tower had been finally stabilized and it would remain stable for at least 200 years.28. The Leaning Tower of Pisa began to lean probably because_____.A. it was too high like a poleB. its foundation shook badlyC. the work of repair was delayedD. the soil of its foundation was too weak29. People noticed the Leaning Tower of Pisa shift its direction _______.A. as soon as it was constructedB. during the constructionC. at the end of the constructionD. as soon as it was completed30. Who preferred not to change the leaning position of the Leaning Tower of Pisa?A. The authorities.B. The government.C. The engineers.D. The historians.31. Which of the following is the right order according to this passage?a. People noticed the tower began to shift its direction.b. The repair work was carried out last time.c. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was repaired for the first time.d. The Leaning Tower of Pisa was built.e. The tower was opened to the visitors again.f. The government started to make a plan for the tower.A. c,d,a,f,b,eB. f,e,a,d,c,bC. d,a,f,c,e,bD. d,e,b,f,c,aDStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175­foot lake on campus in record time —just over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boat­like shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A”on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，”Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross thelake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9­year­old girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67­year­old female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，”he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”32．For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A．To go across the lake to school.B．To pass Professor Canaves' class.C．To test their balance on the water.D．To win the prize money of $500.33．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Most students finished the class assignment successfully.B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.C．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.D．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.34．What can we infer from the passage?A．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities.C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career. D．Professor Canaves attaches importance to hands­on learning experience.35．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．show his approval of the unique teaching styleB．inspire teachers to be more creativeC．report an interesting assignmentD．encourage more people to take part in the race第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
