5．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，"Big 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．

19．Shoppers on Black Friday，the traditional start of the holiday shopping season in America are notoriously aggressive．Some even start queuing outside stores before dawn to be the first to lay their hands on heavily discounted goods．Last year destructive bargain-hunters in the suburbs of New York City trampled a Walmart employee to death．Despite the madness at many stores，however，the global economic recession appears to have accelerated the pace at which shoppers are abandoning physical stores in favor of retailers（零售商） on the cyberspace such as Amazon and eBay．
E-commerce holds particular appeal in poor times as it enables people to compare prices across retailers quickly and easily．Buyers can sometimes avoid local sales taxes online，and shipping is often free．No wonder，then，that online shopping continues to grow even as the offline sort declines．The shift in spending to the Internet is good news for companies like P&G that lack retail shops of their own．But it is a big concern for physical retailers，whose prices are often higher than those of e-retailers，since they must bear the extra expense of running stores．The most obvious response to the trend  for traditional retailers is to redouble their own efforts in the virtual space．
The concept of"multi-channel"shopping，where people can purchase the same items from the same retailer in several different ways online，via their mobile phones and in shops--is gaining ground，and retailers are trying to motivate users of one channel to try another．Growing online traffic may actually increase sales in stores too．Retailers are also trying to make online shopping seem fun and exciting to act against the low economy．One common tactic is to set up"pop--up"stores，which appear for a short time before disappearing again，to develop a sense of novelty and urgency．

33．What does the underlined word"trend"most probably refer to？A
A．The change of purchasing model of the customers
B．Buyers started comparing prices when making a purchase
C．Physical retailers'running cost is becoming unaffordable
D．Retailers can't keep up with the development of the Internet
34．What's the retailer's purpose of setting up"pop--up"stores？B
A．To cut down the operating cost
B．To increase their online sales
C．To make shopping easy and fast
D．To avoid local sales taxes
35．What is the writer's main purpose of writing the passage？C
A．To convince buyers to abandon aggressive shopping habits．
B．To encourage physical stores to compete with online stores．
C．To describe a form of business that is on the rise．
D．To explain the influence of Internet on people's life．
6．He settled himself morecomfortably（舒服地） in his chair．
3．It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠）and not to yawn ourselves．Even reading about yawning can make you do it．Now，a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force．
Yawning when others yawn，the study suggests，is a sign of pity and a form of social connection．Kids don't develop this deeply rooted behavior until around age four，the study found．Kids with autism （自闭症） are less likely to catch yawns．In the most serious cases，they never do．Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly．The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect．
"Emotional infection seems to be a born thing that connects us together，"said Molly Helt，a graduate student in psychology at the University of Connecticut．"Yawning may be part of that．"Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane．She repeatedly yawned at him，hoping he would yawn back．He never did．
"The fact that autistic kids don't do it might mean they're really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them，"she said．"The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others'，"she added．"Autistic people never seem to understand that．"
Like infectious（有感染力的）laughter and crying，scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that promotes social connection．Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group．

32．According to the first two paragraphs，what does the new study suggest？A
A．Yawning is a form of communication．
B．It is easy to stop yawning when you see others yawn．
C．Children follow others in yawning just after they are born．
D．Yawning has some mysterious force which is related to God．
33．According to Molly Helt，B．
A．humans differ from animals because they communicate with others
B．yawning is a kind of emotional connection among humans
C．emotions are infectious，but yawning is not
D．yawning helps clear ears on planes
34．Which of the following is NOT true about yawning？D
A．It is natural to yawn back if people around you yawn．
B．Some kids are too young to yawn after others．
C．Yawning can be used to test children's development．
D．Kids with autism yawn easily when others yawn．
35．The author implies in the last paragraph thatA．
A．yawning can make people feel relaxed
B．it is bad manners to yawn on some social occasions
C．the more you yawn，the happier you will be
D．yawning is different from infectious laughter and crying in theory．
4．The Japanese have always loved fresh fish．But the （41）B close to Japan have not held many fish for decades．So to（42）D the Japanese population，fishing boats got bigger and went a longer way than ever．The （43）A the fishermen went，the longer it took to bring in the fish．If the return trip （44）C more time，the fish were not fresh．
To settle this （45）D，fish companies installed（安装） freezers on their boats．They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea．Freezers （46）B the boats to go farther and stay longer．
（47）A，the Japanese could taste the difference （48）A the fresh and the frozen fish．And they did not like the taste of the frozen fish．The frozen fish brought a lower （49）C．So，the fishing companies installed fish tanks．They would catch the fish and put them in the tanks，fin to fin．After struggling for some time，they stopped moving and became （50）D and dull．Days later，they lost their fresh-fish taste．The fishing industry （51）Aa coming economic crisis!
But today，they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan．How did they（52）C？To keep the fish tasting fresh，the Japanese fishing companies（53）B put the fish in the tanks but with a small shark．The fish are challenged and therefore are constantly on the（54）D．The challenger they face keeps them （55）A and fresh!
Have you （56）C that some of us are also living in a pond but most of the time not active or awake？So we need （57）B，which，basically in our life，are new challenges，to keep us awake and moving．If you are steadily （58）Dchallenges，you are happy．"Your challenges keep you （59）Aand fresh．Don't create success and enjoy it in a state of（60）C．You have the resources，skills and abilities to make a difference．"
