Ten years ago I used to be very fit (健康的). I rode a bike to work and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I didn’t earn very much. I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think

Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing(令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They found that miscommunication was always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”.
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks？” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows(眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”.
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was famous for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today？” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”．

My favorite activity is playing watching, reading, and really anything to do with basketball. A basketball court (球场) is where I feel most at home.
As I see it, it’s wildly popular in the US and its athletes are extremely recognizable, because it’s the one sport where an athlete’s face is not covered up by a football helmet (头盔) or baseball hat. My favorite time and place is anywhere and anytime. I prefer indoors, although it can be played outdoors. Many people often play in a driveway at home, but the best is always against someone on a court.
I started playing basketball because of my favorite player, Shaquille O’Neal. He was a huge, unstoppable player. When I was 11 years old, I decided to go outside to the family basketball hoop (球框) and take a shot (投球). This was my first time ever shooting a basketball. I will never forget the first shot I ever took. It was perfect. It felt amazing! And I’ve been in love with this sport ever since!
I learned a long time ago that very few people are going to have the love of this game that I do. I’ve always understood that in this area, for the most part, I am alone. Especially coming from the state of Texas, where football is king.
I’m not the best of players. When I do good things on court, I know it’s because I can make up for my lack (缺乏) of athleticism by being a student of the game. I’ve never missed a training day. I don’t worry about school, family, or problems. I think about what’s in front of me, and how I can get the basketball in the hoop.
Playing, watching, and reading about basketball fills me with a sense of enjoyment that I truly do feel that very few people can match.
12. What does the author think of basketball
A. It should be played indoors. B. It has won popularity in the US.
C. It is more dangerous than other sports. D. It has become a game for huge people.
13. How did the author feel after his first shot
A. Very nervous. B. Truly tired. C. Really excited. D. Quite free.
14. What do we know about the author as a basketball player
A. He is happy to improve himself through hard work.
B. He really enjoys playing basketball alone.
C. He would rather be a football player.
D. He is on Shaquille O’Neal’s team.
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. Life lessons from playing basketball B. My road to being a basketball player
C. Changes in my basketball dream D. My great love of basketball

There’s nothing like a good conversation! ___16___ While there is no one skill that will make you a better conversationalist, there are several skills and qualities you can develop.
What makes someone a good conversationalist ___17___ Perhaps you have a friend or coworker who can tell stories really well or start a good conversation with almost anyone. According to language and communication coach Lucy Samuels of Lucy Samuels Co., those good conversationalists likely share these qualities:

Confidence
Samuels finds confidence to be another key quality that good conversationalists share.“ ___20___ It’s true that you can’t exactly control impolite talkers, but you can certainly take a confident stance(立场) that deters(威慑) impolite talkers.”
In a word, leaning how to carry a quality conversation can empower you to have stronger job interviews and avoid small talk to make more meaningful connections with people.
A. Don’t worry about being the most confident talker.
B. It gets you thinking and may even get you a better job.
C. Practicing can make some conversations less awkward.

I had a job in an office. It wasn’t a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.
Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better, but the hours were a lot longer. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more.
There’s a lot of stress (压力) in my job. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling my glass to the top, and instead of having one glass, I would have several. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.
Two months ago I had a heart attack. At first I just couldn’t believe it. Luckily it wasn’t very serious. The doctor advised me to stop smoking and to eat less. He also advised me to work less and get more exercise. But I just haven’t any time! My job takes everything out of me!
Sometimes I wonder if I should get another job. Perhaps I could do something like I used to do. But if I do that, I won’t earn as much. I have a family to support. I have to think of them, too. I just don’t know what I should do. What do you think

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了Lisa戴着项链去游泳，项链掉进了泳池，住在附近的男孩Jackson看到了，说如果Lisa和自己做朋友就去帮她拿项链，Lisa同意了。结果项链拿回来后Lisa却没有遵守承诺，最后Lisa在母亲的坚持下邀请了Jackson来家里，她发现Jackson是个善良、有礼貌的男孩，二人成为了朋友。
【46题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：很久以前，一个名叫Lisa的女孩戴上她最喜欢的项链去游泳池游泳。分析句子结构可知call在句中应用非谓语动词形式，与逻辑主语girl构成被动关系，故应用过去分词作定语。故填called。
【47题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：就在这时，Jackson，一个住在同一街区的男孩问她为什么哭。分析句子可知，空处引导定语从句，先行词是reason，关系词在从句中作原因状语，应用关系副词why引导，故填why。

【52题详解】
考查名词复数。句意：她坚持Lisa应该遵守诺言，和Jackson做朋友。friend为可数名词，表示“和……交朋友”短语为make friends with。故填friends。
【53题详解】
考查冠词。句意：第二天，Lisa邀请这个男孩到她家里。此处boy特指Jackson，应用定冠词。故填the。
【54题详解】
考查副词。句意：令人惊讶的是，Lisa发现Jackson是一个善良、有礼貌的男孩。空处修饰整个句子，作状语，应用副词amazingly，句首单词首字母要大写。故填Amazingly。
【55题详解】
考查代词。句意：她喜欢和他做朋友。修饰后文名词friend，应用形容词性物主代词his。故填his。
