7.Keesh lived at the North Pole a long time ago.He lived near the edge of the polar sea.He was a bright thirteen-year-old boy with a strong,healthy body.His father was a brave man who had died during a food shortage in the village.His father tried to save the lives of his people by fighting a giant polar bear.Keesh's father was crushed to death during the struggle.But he killed the bear,and the meat from the bear kept the people from starving.
     Keesh was his only son,and he lived alone with his mother.But people are forgetful,and they soon forgot how Keesh's father had saved their lives.And since Keesh was only a boy and his mother was a woman and not a warrior(勇士),they were forced to live in the smallest and poorest igloo in the village.
     One night there was a council meeting in the large igloo of Klosh-Kwan,who was the chief.At that meeting Keesh showed how much courage he possessed.He rose to his feet and waited for silence.Then,with the dignity(尊严)of an older man,he said,"It is true that my mother and I are given meat to eat.But the meat is always old and tough,filled with bones,and difficult to eat."
     The hunters-both the young and the old-were shocked to hear a child speak to them that way.But Keesh went on steadily,"Because my father,Bok,was a great hunter,I can speak these words.You know that Bok brought home more meat than any hunter in the village.The oldest woman,the weakest old man,received a fair share."
     Keesh waited calmly until the shouting died down."My mother has no one except me,and therefore I must speak.My father put his life in danger and died,to provide food for this village.It is only right that I,his son and his wife should have enough good meat as long as there is plenty of good meat in this village.I,Keesh,the son of Bok,have spoken."
     He sat down.He could hear angry murmuring all around him.Some men began to shout at Keesh.They ordered him to leave.They threatened to punish him by not giving him any food at all.Keesh's eyes flashed and the blood pounded under his skin.In the midst of the noise and the uproar,he jumped to his feet.
"Listen to me,you men!"he shouted."I shall never speak in this council again-not until you come to invite me to speak.My father was a great hunter,and so will I be."
     They laughed at Keesh and followed him out of the igloo,shouting at him.But Keesh said nothing more.He walked away with his head raised,looking neither to the left nor the right….

2.With his game-winning three-pointer at the buzzer,Jeremy Lin (林书豪) finished the New York Knicks'dramatic reversed victory to defeat the Toronto Rapters.
   The Knicks have won six games in a row,and Jeremy Lin has put up impressive numbers during the continuous period of competitions.Although the season is still young,the Knicks have reversed course in just one week from the NBA's most disappointing team to a playoff (季后赛) contestant.Lin,not team's high-paid stars,has saved the Knicks season and likely coach D'Antoni's job.
After nearly 15 years of disappointing,sometimes unsuccessful seasons,Madison Square Garden is alive again,and New York City can't stop talking about the Knicks.To put things into perspective,consider this:Just several years back,Knicks fans protested nightly outside of the Garden calling for the team's ownership to fire their resented coach Isiah Thomas.
Now,Madison Square Garden Co.shares are at a record high,the Knicks'average household television rating is up 70 percent since Lin joined the starting lineup (首发阵容),and jersey sales are increasing very quickly.I watched the Knicks-Lakers game at a bar in Harlem,and have not felt that kind of energy from fans since the great playoff between the Knicks and Miami Heat in the late 1990s.
Beyond the Knicks,Lin may be saving the NBA as well.Just a few months back,the NBA took a massive credibility hit during a multi-month lockout,where the owners did not allow the players to go back to play until they accept the new salary levels.As a consequence,the season did not even begin until Christmas Day.Over the past few years,LeBron James'(勒布朗﹒詹姆斯) relatively long and unpleasant free-agent (自由职业球员) events,combined with poor play around the league,have angered fans and damaged the league's brand.
Lin is leading a one-week NBA basketball revival.His legendary story has inspired Asian-Americans,increased NBA sales in China,and turned the basketball world upside down.
51.According to the passage,Jeremy Lin's excellent performance saved the following exceptD.
A.The NBA                                     
B.Madison Square Garden Co.'s shares
C.The Knicks                                    
D.Coach Isiah Thomas
52.The underlined word"young"in Paragraph 2 probably means"A."
A.in the early stage    
B.not old yet.

53.Which one of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?D
A.These Knicks'stars who were paid well saved the Knicks season
B.The fans objected to dismissing Coach Isiah Thomas outside the Garden
C.The owners and the players didn't agree on raising the TV ratings
D.The Knicks didn't satisfy its fans for nearly 15 years until this season
54.The passage is mainly aboutA.
A.how Jeremy Lin saved the Knicks,probably including the NBA
B.why Jeremy Lin became a member of the Knicks  
C.how the Knicks defeated its opponents in a great playoff  
D.why the New Yorkers thought well of Jeremy Lin.
12.Michelle Obama has just started a campaign against childhood obesity(肥胖)with the admission that she put her girls Malia and Sasha on a diet because they were getting fat.Clearly,childhood obesity must be solved and urgently.But is it a good idea for mothers to put their daughters on diets?
Studies show that the more children diet,the more likely they are to become obese as adults.Research also shows that girls are highly influenced by their mothers when it comes to eating habits and body image.
This was the case for Carly,40,who blames her mother for her lifelong struggle with weight."My mother was on a diet the whole time 1 was growing up,"she says."And she put me on my first diet when 1 was 10.I lost puppy fat,gained her approval and never ate normally  again,America's First Lady clearly has a vital healthy eating message to.convey.But could this be damaging for Malia and Sasha?Could they develop eating disorders because of it?
"It's wrong just to blame mothers for their daughters'eating disorders,"says Susan Ringwood,chief executive of the eating disorders charity,Beat."There is a genetic(基因的)component to eating disorders."However,"We do know that parents have a very strong influ.ence over a child's eating.It's important to realize that you are your daughter's role model.Girls idolize the ir mothers."says Ringwood.
"Nofoodshould ever be‘good'or‘bad',"Ringwood says.Instead,"You have to make it clear that food is a sociable,healthy and fun part of life,not something to be feared."
"Talk to her about body image,"Ringwood says."Talk about how curves are an important and exciting part of being a woman.Show her that anorexic(厌食的)fashion models are not sexy,but i11.The pressure on girls today is immense,"she says."But don't forget that you are the authoritative voice,too."

19."The world's oceans are slowly getting more acidic."say scientists.The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
         The lowering of the waters'PH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues,they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett,from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory,report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air,and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.Once in the water,it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.
         These researchers have tried to predict what will happen in the future by combining what we know about the history of the oceans with computer models of climate change."This level of acidity will get much more extreme in the future if we continue releasing CO2 into the atmosphere,"said Dr Caldeira.And we predict the amount of future acidity will exceed(超过) anything we have seen over the last several hundred million years,let alone perhaps after rare disastrous events such as asteroid(小行星) impacts
          However,it is not absolutely clear what that means for ocean life.Most organisms live near the surface,where the greatest PH change would be expected to occur,but deep-ocean life forms may be more sensitive to PH changes.Coral reefs(珊瑚礁) and other organisms whose shells contain calcium carbonate(碳酸钙) may be particularly affected if the water's acidity levels keep going up,the team predict.They could find it much more difficult to build these structures in water with a lower PH.
         In recent years some people have suggested storing carbon dioxide from power station in the deep ocean as a way of dealing with global warming.But Dr Caldeira said that such a strategy should now be re-considered."Previously,most experts had looked at ocean absorption of carbon dioxide as a good thing--because in releasing CO2 into the atmosphere we warm the planet,and when CO2 is absorbed by the ocean,it reduces the amount of greenhouse warming."
57.The ocean is becoming more acidic due toC.
A.the lower water PH value                                     
B.the warming atmosphere
C.the higher level of CO2 in the air                         
D.the increasing use of oil fuels
58.According to Dr Caldeira,D.
A.ocean absorption of carbon dioxide is a good thing
B.more oil fuels will be used in the near future
C.scientists may predict climate changes with computer models
D.the future situation of the amount of acidity is extremely serious
59.If the water's acidity level keeps rising,A 
A.ocean life whose structures contain calcium carbonate may be affected
B.the water's PH value will become higher and higher
C.organisms living near the surface are more sensitive to PH changes
D.some disastrous events will occur more often than before
60.Most experts once believed storing carbon dioxide in the ocean would reduceB.
A.the CO2 absorbed by the ocean                          
B.the amount of greenhouse warming
C.the acidity of the ocean                                         
D.the gradual release of CO2.
16.Born in 1910,my mother was the first director I ever met.Wearing an apron and teaching tap in the basement of our apartment building,she was a housewife and dance teacher.Even from a young age she was an entertainer who thought performing was not just a hobby or even a profession but a way of living that was as essential as breathing or eating.
Mom was always"on"from her energetic teaching of her dance students to her late-night work when she would type out songs,dance routines,and funny plays for her dance recital.I would be in my bed and still hear her typewriter as I went to sleep at night.Her typing sounded like rain.Always working,she would go to Broadway shows,steal the routines,and come back and type them out for her students to perform.I knew right from the beginning that if I could make my mom laugh,then I could make her love me.
When I grew up and moved to Hollywood as an adult,I would later create 14prime-time TV shows and direct 17movies.During my five decades in show business,I never forgot my mother's advice to find the humor in anything.I wanted to entertain the world and not put people to sleep.If my mom had been born at a different time in history she might have become a stage actress or a performer herself.Instead,she trained my two sisters and I to work in the field of entertainment.She remains to this day my inspiration and creative compass.I will never stop carrying on my mother's message,and I will never stop missing her.In fact,as a  tribute to my mother I built The Marjorie Ward Marshall Dance Center at Northwestern University.Whenever I visit the building it helps remind me that to entertain people and make them laugh is what my own career has been all about.

26.The author's mother worked as aC.
A.movie director       B.stage actress
C.dance instructor     D.businesswoman
27.Why did the author's mother work deep into night even at home?D

B.She wished to entertain herself after a day's work.
C.She expected to train her students to be top dancers.
D.She thought it was a way of living and tried her best.
28.What did the author learn from Mother?A
A.To entertain people and make them laugh.
B.To teach people to dance elegantly.

29.The author's two sisters might beB.
A.also dance teachers as well as housewives
B.entertainers inspired by their mother
C.also typists working late at night
D.performers to enjoy themselves with others'humor
30.Which word may have nearly the same meaning as the underlined word"tribute"?D
