Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lins background is not typical. He grad
14、uated from Harvard University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for ba
15、sketball. Lins enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lins father moved to U.S., his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.
16、In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team. During Lins time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He sco
17、red 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history. When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj

But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before
19、 the New York Knicks picked him up. But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he
20、led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory. The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA“. Knicks fans developed the nickname for him “Linsanity“ (林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 “Most Influential People in the World“, Jeremy Lin included. No doubt,
21、 Lin fever is continuing to spread if you havent already caught “Linsanity“, get ready. 26. Which of the following elements is of little help in Lins success?

25、ts in Harvard University. D. Lin didnt have a smooth road in NBA. B A firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes t
26、o impressing potential employers. The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five “handshake raters“ also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact. HLLYBQ
27、 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 4 Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with “ wimpy“ shakes were judged to be more timid and less impre
28、ssive. The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts. Professor Stewart said: “Weve always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the fir
29、st impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We dont consciously remember a persons handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the persons overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.“ Women were less likely to have
30、a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts. Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an ove
31、r enthusiastic “bone crusher“ handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness. The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden wea
32、pons. 31. The passage is probably intended for _. A. job-hunters B. an undergraduate C. employers D. handshake raters 32. From the first paragraph we know that in an interview _. A. dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake B. smile has no effect on impressing potential employers C. a
33、 firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile D. dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance 33. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. B. The undergradu
34、ates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive. C. Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. D. Its said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe. 34. Professor Greg Stewart probably disagrees that _. A. a “bone crusher“ handshake gives an unfavorable impressio
35、n B. the scores by the handshake raters were not related to the employment of the undergraduates C. an undergraduate highly scored by the handshake raters was more likely to be hired D. interviewers often decided whether to employ a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview 35. What i
36、s the main idea of the passage? A. Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a. better impression than men. B. A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake. C. Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview. D. Job interview success depends on
37、interviewees body language. C HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 5 Its really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezing past someone in a narrow passage, people say “sorry“. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you“ rather than the driver. In
38、Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles, and here are some more polite ways of in
39、teracting (交往) with people in UK. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation.
40、British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough. Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criti
41、cize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This a
42、lso is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit tightfisted. 36. Wh
43、at is the authors attitude towards English politeness? A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He thinks little of it. C. He appreciates it very much. D. He thinks it goes too far. 37. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The author think its unnecessary to say “thank you“ to the bus driver. B. In Ge
44、rmany, employers often say “thank you“ to employees for their job. C. German men never treat a woman to dinner. D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough. 38. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _. A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting
45、 B. are as generous as English men C. treat women in a polite way D. are unwilling to spend money for women 39. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. English drivers often say “thank you“ to passengers when they get off the bus. B. In Germany, passengers sometimes sa
46、y “thank you“ to bus drivers. C. English people try to avoid criticizing others in the daily life. D. Germans are more considerate and polite than Englishmen. 40. The author develops the text through the method of A. making comparisons B. telling stories C. giving comments D. giving reasons/examples
47、 D Every hour spent in watching TV, DVDs and videos as an adult reduces life expectancy by almost 22 minutes, a study suggests. And viewing TV for an average of six hours a day can cut short your life by five HLLYBQ 整理 供“高中试卷网（http:/sj.fjjy.org） ” 6 years. The research claims that a sedentary lifest
48、yle is as bad for health as smoking and obesity, because of the dangers caused by inactivity and the greater opportunities it offers for unhealthy eating. The academics conducting the study set out to calculate the overall risk to life expectancy from watching television. Their research involved mor
49、e than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Writing in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, they concluded. “TV viewing time may be associated with a loss of life, which is similar to other major chronic disease risk factors such as physical inactivity and obesity.“ The researchers, from the University of Queensland, used information from the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle Study, together with population and death rate data. But they said:
