A

   Steve Nash enjoys team success far more than personal success, and always wants to share the glory and the joy with teammates.

   He is a self-effacing (不爱出风头的) Canadian, who grew up in hockey country. Today Steve Nash has to stand alone even if he doesn’t enjoy it. The Phoenix Sun’s point guard has to take ownership of a set of skills that sets him apart from every bigger, faster basketball player. He is considered the best basketball player in the game.

   31-year old Nash was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the NBA on May 8, 2005. “It’s unbelievable,” he said．“It’s been a long road for me and I really enjoy playing as a team, just trying to be a good teammate. That is the only way for me to highlight what I do as a basketball player.”

   It is the first time a Canadian has won any individual NBA honor. Of the 50 winners of the MVP award, only six have been guards: Steve Nash, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, Allen Iverson, and Bob Cousy. “I’m happy for him getting the MVP, which makes us feel like we all got the MVP,” said Phoenix forward Shawn Marion.

   He may be the only one who truly believes he can reach this level. “I always try to set goals for myself and have my own time frame to accomplish them and I never give up on anything,” he said．It is not as if Nash arrived at this point without countless hours of hard work.

   His interests go far beyond sports and the NBA．His social conscience is such that he wore a T-shirt bearing an anti-war slogan at the NBA all-star weekend festivities in Philadelphia in 2002.

   “A lot of great moments are when you win games with your teammates. There’s nothing like sharing something with someone else,” he said．“There is a pinnacle (顶点) of a player’s career individually. In many ways, the pinnacle of a player’s career really is defined by team wins.”

56．What does Steve Nash mean by saying the last two sentences?

     A．A player’s success is decided by his / her individual efforts.

     B．A player won’t succeed without a team’s support.

     C．A player will succeed sooner or later.

     D．A team always decides a player’s success.

57．Steve Nash feels happiest _______.

     A．when he is named the Most Valuable Player of the NBA

     B．when he is 30 years old

     C．when he plays at the NBA all-star weekend festivities

      D．when his team wins a game

58．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

      A．Nash is an American basketball player.

      B．Nash is better at basketball than Magic Johnson.

      C．Nash is the first Canadian winner of the MVP award.

      D．Michael Jordan is the best of the six guards.

59．Which of the following is the main message that the passage wants to express?

      A．Nash prefers team honor to personal honor.

      B．Hard work will lead to the honor of the MVP of the NBA.

      C．A Canadian can be an MVP of the NBA.

      D．Setting goals is of importance to success.

Like most people, I’ve long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a standard people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I’m treated as a person.

Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people. I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they’d never say or do to their most casual acquaintances（泛泛之交. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, then beckoned (示意) me back with his finger minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I’d been.

I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon (勤杂工) plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior（较差的)treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I’d be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.

Once I graduated, I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked .

I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.

My job title made people treat me politely. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.

It’s no secret that there’s a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to satisfy to others’ needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant.

I’m now applying to graduated school, which means someday I’ll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want, I think I’ll take them to dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.

64. The author was disappointed to find that ____   ___.

A. one’s position is used as a standard to measure one’s intelligence

B. talented people like her should fail to get a respectable job

C. one’s occupation affects the way one is treated as a person

D. professionals tend to look down upon manual waitresses

65. What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?

A. Some customers simply show no respect to those who serve them.

B. People absorbed in a phone conversation tend to be absent-minded.

C. Waitresses are often treated by customers as casual acquaintances.

D. Some customers like to complain because of the waitress’ poor service.

66. How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?

A. She felt it unfair to be treated as a mere servant by professional.

B. She felt badly hurt when her customers regarded her as a peon.

C. She was embarrassed each time her customers joked with her.

D. She found it natural for professionals to treat her as inferior.

67. The underlined sentence “many of my customers didn’t get the difference between server and servant” in Paragraph 7 means “           ”.

A. those who satisfy others’ needs are sure to be looked down upon.

B. those working in the service industry shouldn’t be treated as servants.

C. those serving others have to put up with rough treatment to earn a living.

D. the majority of customers tend to look on a servant as server nowadays.

The North and South poles are remote and freezing places that receive lots of animal visitors but few human tourists.

But even if you never plan to visit the polar bears in the north or penguins in the south, now is a perfect time to start thinking about them. That’s because 2007 marks the beginning of the International Polar Year (IPY), a two-year-old activity of science projects that aim to show how important the poles are to the health of our planet. During the IPY, which will last until March 2009, thousands of researchers from more than 60 countries will conduct more than 200 projects and expeditions to both the top and bottom of the world.

In recent years, the polar regions have begun to change severely as a result of global warming. Temperatures there are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and snow in these regions are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.

Only by studying the poles, say IPY researchers, can we find ways to protect them and ourselves.

Both the Arctic and the Antarctic are cold and remote, but the two regions have important differences. For one thing, the Arctic is an ice-covered ocean surrounded by land. The Antarctic, on the other hand, is a continent of ice-covered land surrounded by water.

Most polar studies have focused on the Arctic, and that is where scientists have observed the most remarkable changes in the ice. During a typical year, Arctic ice expands in the winter and shrinks in the summer. But recently, the amount of ice covering the ocean has been steadily dropping in both seasons.

68．Which of the following might be the best tile of the passage?

       A．Earth’s Poles Interest Scientists

       B．The Animals of Earth’s Poles

       C．Earth’s Poles in Danger

       D．The Discoveries of Earth’s Poles

69．The goal of the International Polar Year is __________.

       A．to make it clear that the poles have much to do with a healthy earth

       B．to provide practical theory to further develop this distant area

       C．to cal on as many scientists as possible to do research on the poles

       D．to discover more mysteries unknown to man

70．What is the main factor that has caused the changes of the poles?

       A．The increasing number of animals.

       B．The development of the poles.

       C．The melting of the poles.

       D．The rising temperature.

71．What unusual phenomenon worries the scientists?

       A．In summer the ice of the Arctic loses faster.

       B．The ice covering the Arctic decreases even in winter.

       C．The ice of the Arctic increases less than in the past.

       D．The changes in the Arctic are more serious.

Feeling tired? Under too much stress? Well, you may want to try Yoga(瑜珈). It’s what more and more people have been turning to to release the trouble of modern life. Practically unheard of in the West until 50 years ago, Yoga has become one of the most popular health trends around the world, including China. If you search for Yoga on line in Chinese, lots of pages are there to see, most of which are main pages of Yoga clubs. In order to keep fit and lose weight, many girls spend more than 1000 yuan taking part in Yoga classes every month.

However, are you really ready for it? There are several things you need to know before you really take it.

First, do not force your body too much. Yoga has many difficult poses. They are beautiful and worth boasting if you could finish them. But if you force yourself to do as exactly as an experienced Yoga teacher does, you may hurt your body, instead of strengthening it. Do you remember you original purpose for playing Yoga? It is self -building, not competing.

Second, do some research about the Yoga class that you are to register. Yoga is new in China and there are not so many certificated well-trained Yoga teachers. Some not well organized clubs just find someone learn a little Yoga and certificate them. But be aware, a non-eligible teacher might wrongly guide you and you could not benefit from the classes much except that they force you to exercise your body a bit. Considering about the large amount of money you invest in it, it’s worth and reasonable to make sure the teachers in the club are qualified before you join.

       Third, it would be better to learn something about nutrition when you practice Yoga. In the very beginning, Yoga was part of the Vedas, bible of the traditional Indian philosophy. So it could be regarded as a kind of lifestyle. When you have decided to care for your body, why not feed it properly? In fact, good clubs have their own nutritionists.

       Anyhow, make sure you are ready before you act. The fashion may change quickly. But what benefits is still good for us.

72．The author’s main purpose in writing the passage is to        .

       A．tell people how to relax themselves

       B．let people know more about Yoga

       C．give people some advice on taking part in Yoga classes

       D．tell peoples Yoga has gained its popularity in China

73．The underlined word “eligible” in the fourth paragraph most probably means       .

       A．experienced   B．qualified         C．honored       D．hi-technical

74．Which of the following is NOT the author’s advice?

       A．Join one of the noblest Yoga clubs.                           

B．Don’t easily follow the fashion about Yoga.

       C．Know some knowledge about nutrition.                    

D．Find out a real teacher.

75．From the advice offered by the author, we can conclude that           .

       A．Yoga has nothing to do with culture

       B．Yoga is somehow easy to exercise

       C．many people learn Yoga in order to complete

       D．not all the Yoga clubs have standard teachers
