A
Many great basketball players had clever nicknames (绰号), usually describing the player’s overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.
“Tiny”
Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Bi g Tiny”.
“Magic”
Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
“The Mailman”
Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time. He also won two Olympic gold medals, as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia.
“The Iceman”
George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in a relaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.
21. Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?
A. Nate Archibald’s.
B. Earvin Johnson’s.
C. Karl
Malone’s. D. George Gervin’s.
22. The underlined word “chagrin” in Paragraph 3 probably means
“_____”.
A. amazement
B. annoyance
C.
enthusiasm D. impatience
23. Why was George Gervin called “The Iceman”?
A. He was always as cold as ice.
B. He had a glass of iced beer every day.
C. He didn’t get along well with his teammates.
D. He was always able to keep calm on the court.
24. The author’s purpose in writing the text is to _____.
A. uncover the secrets of NBA players’ success
B. talk about how to give others a lovely nickname
C. introduce some NBA players and their nicknames
D. show how to become an excellent basketball player
B
There are a lot of products out there that make your life easier. Some, however, are a little sillier than others — so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.
Sleep Phones
It’s hard t o imagine something sillier than a music-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist — and are quite popular. Sleep Phones won’t give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, they’re far more com fortable than normal headphones. While they’re a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. There’s also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.
Onion Goggles
If cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, it’s time for desperate measures. We tested a bunch of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and awesome goggles.
Lock Laces
There’re some great ways to tie your shoes better, b ut if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. They’re basically elastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you can make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing.
2D-Glasses
Hate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between 2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D. Now you have a pair of glasses that can save you from the headache caused by wearing 3D-glasses which are popular in our movie theaters. You can buy them or make a pair for yourself.
25. What do we know about Sleep Phones?
A. There are two versions.
B. They’re comfortable but unhealthy.
C. They give you the best quality sound.
D. They’re cheaper than other headphones.
26. The underlined part “brings on the waterworks” in the text probably means _____.
A. makes your eyes water
B. makes your fingers hurt
C. destroys your water pipes
D. adds to your washing work
27. What is the advantage of Lock Laces?
A. They are strong and lasting.
B. They help you walk comfortably.
C. They are stylish and eco-friendly.
D. They save you from tying your shoes.
28. Compared with 3D-glasses, 2D-glasses _____.
A. are cheaper and thinner
B. won’t give you a headache
C. let you see a different picture
D. are more popular in movie theaters
C
In 1985, a lionfish was caught off the coast of Florida. Now they can be found not only in the Atlantic Ocean but also in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea. And they are continuing to move south. Lionfish are native to the Indian and western Pacific Oceans. So how did they end up in the Atlantic? Scientists believe some pet owners abandoned their unwanted lionfish and poured them into the sea. Little did they know the trouble their actions wo uld cause.
The Atlantic Ocean turned out to be a comfortable home for lionfish. Their venomous spines (毒刺) protect them from sharks and other fish. Female lionfish can spawn (产卵) every few days, producing as many as 2 million eggs per year. Other big fish would have competed with lionfish for food. But overfishing has removed many of these large fish. As a result, the fish have eaten so much that they have grown to be more than three times the size of their cousins in t he Pacific and Indian Oceans. “They eat mostly fish,” says Stephanie Green, a scientist at Oregon State University.
All that eating has caused great changes. Scientists have found that when lionfish are present somewhere, many other fish, which are small enough for them to eat, disappear. Some of the fish they eat are greatly missed in their habitats. For example, parrotfish eat
certain plants off corals (珊瑚), which allows corals to grow better.
But they are now disappearing due to lionfish.
Scientists say lionfish are here to stay. But there are ways to deal with the problem. The key, says Green, is to keep lionfish numbers in check. In Florida, divers can now go through a special
training program and get certified (授予合格证书) to catch lionfish in areas where fishing is not usually allowed. And a number of restaurants
have added the fish to the menu. “It’s going to be a long-term battle, but the missing sea species will come back someday,” says Green.
29. What can we learn about lionfish?
A. Its population is growing very quickly.
B. All of them are almost the same size.
C. They eat other big fish and even sharks.
D. Most of them have gathered in the Atlantic.
30. Parrotfish were mentioned to show lionfish’s _____.
A. loneliness
B. carelessness
C. weakness
D. harmfulness
31. What is Stephanie Green’s attitude towards the battle against lionfish?
A. She doubts it.
B. She is hopeful of it.
C. She is worried about it.
D. She thinks it is against the law.
D
Who decided that blue jeans and T-shirts are “cool” for kids to wear today? Who designs the clothes you see for sale in stores? All of these questions concern the world of fashion.
Fashion refers to the styles of dress that are currently popular. Fashion goes beyond just clothes, though. It’s important for some people to wear only the latest fashions and styles. For others, though, k eeping up with trends isn’t that important. The one thing that stays the same with fashion is this: it always changes!
In the 1960s and 1970s, hippies made bell-bottomed blue jeans popular. In the 1980s, Michael Jackson made parachute pants (降落伞裤) all the fashion. Now try to find these items in today’s clothing stores!
Why do fashions change? The answer is probably as simple as the fact that people change. Over time, the new replaces the old. People are influenced greatly by popular culture, including athletes, musicians, movie stars, as well as popular films, television shows, books and music. We are also influenced by the fashion industry’s advertising.
The stars of popular culture are always searching for a new angle to maintain (保持) their popularity. Often these new angles come in the form of new clothing or hairstyles. When people see these new styles, they often want to imitate their favorite stars. To do so, they seek out the latest fashions to make themselves look like the people they want to imitate. In this way, fashions evolve and chang e over time.
For years, clothes have been used to separate people into groups. Even today, brand-name clothing that is more expensive than other types of clothing can be used by some people to distinguish themselves from others.
Unfortunately, this can often have the effect of distancing certain groups from others. Don’t forget that it’s always OK to develop your own sense of style that is unique and s eparate from what the fashion world determines! Stay true to yourself and let your personality — not your clothes — speak for who you are!
32. The examples of bell-bottomed blue jeans and parachute pants in Paragraph 3 suggest that _____.
A. fashion always changes
B. stars are always influential
C. people have different dressing styles
D. hippies and Michael Jackson are good designers
33. Fashions change mainly because _____.
A. advertisements change rapidly
B. popular culture influences people
C. movie stars are changing over time
D. new films and shows replace the old
34. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to stress _____.
A. the advantages of staying unique
B. the bad effects of following fashion
C. the good influences of popular styles
D. the importance of having one’s own personality
35. We can learn from the text that _____.
A. fashion is all about clothes
B. the author has gone out of fashion
C. clothes may separate and distance people
D. people like imitating others’ dressing style

How smartphones could be ruining your relationship
We carry our smartphones with us wherever we go. We didn’t have the time to set any boundaries for smartphone usage, and now we find ourselves unable to save our relationships. Smartphones are very useful in many circumstances. 36
Lack of mindfulness
We become totally lost in our digital lives. Smartphones get in the way of our relationships, making it impossible for us to wholeheartedly devote our attention to the present moment. 37
Loss of communication
In fact, some people talk more about their relationships on Facebook than they do face-to-face with the person they’re actually in a relationship with! 38 Why not do something together, other than
sitting side by side staring at the displays on your individual phones? Excessive (过度的) smartphone use makes it impossible for us to build any new, sincere rela tionships.
Prioritizing (优先) the wrong models of communication
39 We damage our happiness and harm our relationships, failing to see which is more important in our life. Small, precious moments are slipping away because we’re focused on reading all of our emails, and we get unreasonably anxious if we put our phones away even for 30 minutes.
40
Unless you put boundaries to your phone usage, you will become addicted to it. We shouldn’t feel stressed and anxious when we’re in phone-free areas. We should be happy that we can value special moments happening each day and make good use of our time and our relationships.
A. Breakdown of relationships
B. Stress and smartphone separation anxiety
C. However, they can harm our relationships in indirect ways.
D. As a result, we lose many moments that are special and never to be
lived again.
E. You don’t even have to take a smartphone addiction test to see if you’re addicted to it.
F. Why choose to communicate through social media, rather than enjoy a friend’s company?
G. We’ve become addicted to digital communication, regarding real-life communication as secondary.

As we know, it is important to be honest with children. But there are some things in this world that simply aren’t 41 . Sometimes it makes sense for parents to 42 to their children.
I still remember my three-year-old daughter’s face when we watched the 43 that twenty children at Sandy Hook Elementary School had been killed. After a few minutes she 44 and put her 45 arms around my legs and said, “I love you, Momma.” I was still 46 whether or not to turn the TV off when she, 47 , asked, “Momma, why aren’t those kids OK?” I just 48 that they were smart children, 49 they did something wrong and got punished.
We’re not all 50 of a little lie here and there. Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny and Snow White are just a few examples of 51 for parents to keep magic in the world. Magic, imagination and creativity are very essential in life, 52 for children. These stories battle against the negative aspects of the world and create 53 . In the end children will be able to 54 what is true and what was made to 55 their lives. Out of five brothers and a sister I can happily report that not one of the children I grew up with was 56 when we discovered who all those 57 people really were.
In life, a parent is the 58 of knowledge, and it is up to the parent to decide what knowledge to teach and when. There’s no 59 to tell children all about the truth. As they become 60 , they will have a better understanding of the world.
41. A. user-friendly B. kid-friendly C. reader-friendly D. teacher-friendly
42. A. agree B. talk C. lie D. react 43. A. news B. game C. discussion D. experiment
44. A. came out B. fell down C. called
back D. reached up
45. A. long B. little
C. thin
D. strong
46. A. arguing B. researching C. considering D. questioning
47. A. in peace B. in danger C. in
doubt D. in puzzlement
48. A. explained B. announced C. suggested D. apologized
49. A. so B. but C.
or D. until
50. A. afraid B. tired C.
guilty D. nervous
51. A. activities B. goals C. possibilities D. ways
52. A. especially B. probably C. gradually D. frequently

It was a sunny day today and I went to Xishan Park for a spring outing. The moment I entered in the park, a variety of beautiful flowers and green trees come into sight. Attracted by the beauty, I couldn’t st op taking photo. As I wandered along the path, enjoy the beautiful view, I noticed something unpleasantly. Two schoolgirls jumped the fence to pick flowers. Obviously they didn’t realize that their behavior had done great damage
on the beauty of the park. Without hesitation, I went up and stopped them politely. Quite embarrassing, the two girls came out immediately. Then we took pictures outside the fence. Seeing that, I smiled and something
looked nicer in my eyes.
