Ⅱ.阅读理解
The NBA's version of the Ming Dynasty is done. After helping pro basketball gain a foothold in the world's most populous market, Chinese star Yao Ming has retired.
Yao made it official Wednesday, telling a news conference that a series of foot and leg injuries forced him to end his playing career at the age of 30.
“I will formally end my career，” said Yao, who became a household name in China before starting his NBA career with the Houston Rockets in 2002. Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.
“Today is an important day for me and holds a special meaning for both my basketball career and my future，” Yao said. “I had to leave the court since I suffered a stress fracture(断裂) in my left foot for the third time at the end of last year. My past six months were a painful wait. I have been thinking about my future over and over. Today I am announcing a personal decision, ending my career as a basketball player and officially retire. But_one_door_is_closing_and_another_one_is_opening.”
Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks, with the possibility of becoming general manager. He already owns the club and wants to contribute more.
“My playing career started with the club. I hope I can do something for it，” Yao said.
He later appeared with his family on the stage to the applause and cheers of the crowd. He thanked a lot of people—his family, former coaches, even players like Shaquille O'Neal—“for making me a better player, I will be always with you. Thank you.”
Rockets general manager Daryl Morey was among those attending the farewell(告别)conference Wednesday. Morey made the long trip from Houston. Morey said 20 hours on planes was tiring but “I would be sorry if I wasn't here.” “It's a big moment，” Morey added. “Yao had a sense of humor, a great attitude and sense of responsibility. I hope we can continue his culture in the NBA.”
Yao had played six years with the Chinese national team before joining the Rockets, and was already a star in his home country. He carried the Olympic torch through Tian'anmen Square and his country's flag during the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He also donated $2 million and set up a foundation to rebuild schools in the wake of the 2008 earthquake in Sichuan.
11．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Yao Ming: a household name
B．Chinese great Yao Ming retires from basketball
C．A farewell conference
D．Yao Ming's personal decision
12．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．He has retired from playing basketball and his new career will begin.
B．He can't go to the US because of his retirement.
C．He is welcomed in his motherland.
D．He will return to work with the charity.
13．According to the passage, which of the following words can't be used to describe Yao Ming?
A．Talented.
B．Responsible.
C．Generous.
D．Cautious.
14．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

B．Yao Ming played six years in America.
C．Yao Ming started his playing career in Houston.
D．Yao Ming was once an Olympic torchbearer.

11．B 主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章向我们讲述的是姚明因饱受伤痛之苦，正式退役一事，所以B项最能概括全文，其他各项都太笼统。

13．D 推理判断题。根据Yao played eight seasons in the NBA.可知A项正确；根据倒数第二段中sense of responsibility可知B项正确；根据文章最后一句可知姚明很慷慨，也就是C项正确；D项(谨慎的，小心的)没有信息支持。
14．D 细节理解题。由最后一段的“He carried the Olympic torch through Tian'anmen Square”可以看出，姚明曾是奥运会的火炬手。由第二段可知，姚明退役是因为伤病原因，也就是说A项错误；由最后一段的第一句话可以看出B项错误；由第五段的第一句话“Yao said he would return to work with his former Chinese team, the Shanghai Sharks，…”可以看出姚明的篮球事业是从上海开始的，也就是说C项错误。

Dear Jim，
How time flies! You asked me how I spent my summer vacation in your last email.As you know, I finished my college entrance exams this year and I had nearly three months' rest.So I did have a meaningful and unforgettable summer vacation.
First, I went to the Driving School to learn to drive so as to get a driving license, which is a very popular activity among Chinese youngsters.I got a driving license and improved my living skills.Then, to make good preparations for my further education, I attended some English courses to improve my oral English.Besides, I paid a visit to some tourist attractions in Beijing in August, which was really wonderful and made a deep impression on me.Most importantly, I learned to cook meals and do housework, through which I got to know it is not easy for my parents to serve me all these years.
This is what I did in my summer vacation.What about your exams and your summer vacation? I'm looking forward to receiving your letter as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely，
Li Hua
