18．NBA commissioner David Stern was in Orlando on Thursday night，getting ready for Sunday's All-Star Game．Of course，all he could talk about was the only player anyone wants to talk about these days：New York Knicks guard Jeremy Lin．
Hours before Lin took the court against the Heat，a few hundred miles South down I-95in Miami，Stern told reporters that Lin's instant popularity hasn't ever been matched in sports history，not even by Sunday's biggest names，LeBron James or Kobe Bryant．
The Associated Press had the details．
"I haven't done a calculation，but it's fair to say that no player has created the interest and the craze in this short period of time，in any sport，that I'm aware of like Jeremy Lin has，"Stern said Thursday．
Lin，an undrafted（未选秀的）guard from Harvard，has become the NBA's biggest story since coming off the Knicks'bench earlier this month to lead them to nine wins in 11games heading into their matchup with Miami on Thursday night．
With Lin's popularity in Asia as the league's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent，and with the religious community because of his strong Christian faith，Stern says he's"never quite seen anything like"the attention on Lin．
"It's fascinating，"Stern said after the All-Star Jam Session opening ceremonies．
The top five videos on NBA．com since Feb.4，when Lin joined the circulation，are all Lin or Knicks related．Lin went from 190，000 followers on Sina，China's version of Twitter，on Feb.2to more than 1million as of Feb.16．
Indeed，Lin's popularity is so out of this world that the NBA made a late list switch to ensure his participation in the Rising Stars Challenge on All-Star Saturday，a game that includes the NBA's best rookies（新秀球员）and sophomores．Lin is in such high demand that all of the game's other participants will meet with the media following a team practice on Friday while Lin will have his own，separate press conference later in the night．
This is Jeremy's world，folks．We're all just living in it．Even David Stern and the rest of the league's All-Stars，at least for the moment．

59．The following statements about Jeremy Lin's instant popularity are true EXCEPT thatA．
A．Jeremy Lin led New York Knicks to win all the recent games this month
B．David Stern said Lin was the only instant popular player in NBA's history
C．Lin has become the NBA's greatest story though he was an undrafted guard
D．no player has created the interest and the enthusiasm in such a short period of time
60．Why did Jeremy Lin have so many followers in Asia on Sina，China's version of Twitter？B
A．Because Jeremy Lin was born in Taiwan with strong Christian faith．
B．Maybe because he is the first player born in America but has Chinese descent．
C．Because Sina has a large group of surfing people，maybe more than 10million．
D．Because the top five videos on NBA．com since Feb.4are all Lin or Knicks related．
61．The underlined phrase"out of this world"in Paragraph 9may probably be replaced byC．
A．impossible        B．important       C．exceptional      D．excellent
62．What can we learn from the above passage about Jeremy Lin's instant popularity？C
A..Knowledge starts with practice．
B．Failure is the mother of success．
C．Every dog has its day．
D．No pains，no gains．

13．Have you ever wished for a thirty-hour day？Surely this extra time would relieve the tremendous pressure which we live．Our lives leave a trail of unfinished tasks．Unanswered letters，unvisited friends，unwritten articles，and unread books haunt quiet moments when we stop to evaluate．We desperately need relief．
But would a thirty-hour day really solve the problem？Wouldn't we soon be just as frustrated as we are now with our twenty-four allotment？A mother's work is never finished，and neither is that of any manager，student，teacher，minister，or anyone else we know．Nor will the passage of time help us catch up．Children grow in number and age to require more of our time．Greater experience brings more exacting assignments．So we find ourselves working more and enjoying it less．We are accuslomed to working without stop．
When we stop to evaluate，we realize that our dilemma goes deeper than shortage of time； it is basically the problem of priorities（优先顺序）．Actually hard work does not hurt us．We all know what it is to go full speed for long hours，totally involved in an important task．The resulting weariness is matched by a sense of achievement and joy．Not hard work，but doubt and misgiving （疑虑） produce anxiety as we review a month or year and become oppressed by the pile of unfinished tasks．We sense demands have driven us onto a reef of frustration．We confess，quite apart from our sins，"we have left undone those things，which we ought to have done； and we have done those things which we ought not to have done．"To do the urgent thing or to finisnh the important thing，is a sharp question．
Several years ago an experienced cotton-mill manager said to me，"Your greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out of the important．"He didn't realized how hard his maxim hit．It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical problem of priorities．
We live in constant tension between the urgent and the important．The problem is that the important task rarely must be done today，or even this week．The urgent task calls for instant action-endless demands，pressure every hour and day．
A man's home is no longer his castle； it is no longer a place away from urgent tasks because the telephone breaches the walls with imperious（专横的） demands．The momentary appeal of these tasks seems irresistible and important，and they devour our energy．But in the light of time's perspective their deceptive prominence fades； with a sense of loss we recall the important tasks pushed aside．We realize we've become slaves to the"tyranny（暴政） of the urgent．"

51．The reason why we sometimes wish to have a thirty-hour day is that weC．
A．have too much work to complete  
B．need more time to enjoy our lives
C．need longer hours to ease pressure                
D．are used to working without stop

10．Almost a decade after the hit Finding Nemo made clownfish seem totally warm and lovable，environmentalists are now looking for a real-life sequel：Saving Nemo．
    In the United States，a request has been made to extend the protections of the Endangered Species Act to marine species including the clownfish．
But before you start shedding tears for Nemo and his buddies，keep in mind that this request is not based on any evidence of a decline in the clownfish population．Instead，what has sparked concern is the worsening health of coral reefs，which more than one million aquatic species including the clownfish depend on to thrive，even survive．
    In ways it makes more sense to move to protect a species when its habitat declines rather than its actual population．The most important mission of the Endangered Species Act is the protection of species'habitats； without their habitats，there's almost no hope of saving endangered animals，except perhaps in a zoo．
　  Earlier this year，alarming news came about the world's largest coral reef system，Australia's Great Barrier Reef （GBR，大堡礁）．A study has shown the Reef is in sharp decline，with half of its coral cover gone in the past 27 years．
　   Katharina Fabricius，an Australian coral reef ecologist co-authoring the study，has been diving and working on the GBR since 1988-and has watched the decline．"There are still a lot of fish…but not the same color and diversity as in the past，"she said．
　  The study team used information from more than 2，000 surveys to determine the rate of decline between 1985 and 2012．That overall 50-percent decline，they estimate，is a yearly loss of about 3.4 percent of the Reef．If the trend continued，the coral cover could halve again by 2022．
　  Several main factors are responsible for the decline，the study found．Intense tropical cyclones （热带气旋），believed to be fueled by global warming，have caused massive damage to reefs in the central and southern parts of the Reef．Meanwhile，population explosions of the coral-consuming crown-of-thorns starfish （长棘海星） have affected coral populations along the length of the Reef．Two severe coral bleaching （变白） events，caused by ocean warming，have also had major damaging impacts in northern and central parts of the GBR．
72．A request has been made in the United States to save the clownfish becauseB．
A．it is a totally warm and lovable species        
B．the health of its habitat is worsening
C．its population has dropped sharply          
D．few clownfish can be found in zoos
72．What does the underlined word"thrive"in Paragraph 3 probably mean？C
A．To feed oneself
B．To keep oneself safe．
C．To grow and develop well
D．To attract attention．
74．According to the article，what is the AUTHOR'S attitude toward the request in the U．S．？A
A．He/she supports it．
B．He/she finds it ridiculous．
C．He/she thinks it is reasonable but needs revising．
D．There's no WAY to tell．
75．According to the article，all of the following factors contribute to the decline of Great Barrier Reef's coral cover exceptA．
A．the growing popularity of scuba （水肺）diving around the Reef
B．stronger tropical cyclones fueled by global warming
C．the rapidly growing population of type of coral-eating starfish
D．coral bleaching caused by rising temperature of the ocean water．
7．The headmaster said that he wouldsolve（解决）this problem at once．
