　　Yao Ming landed in the U．S．in the summer of 2002, 7 - feet, 6 - inches worth of fancy footwork(花式步伐), armed with a soft shooting touch．He was the top player selected by the Houston Rockets, whose new activities place would soon be promoted by Toyota．The Japanese carmaker had just opened a new plant in China, and the company expects that Yao fans would soon become Corolla fans．

　　For many Americans, Yao was their understanding to the Chinese economic engine．He was a government project, brought up from a young age in order to show the new China to the world．China fulfilled its promise; since those unforgettable days of 2002, through the Beijing Olympics and beyond, the country has stayed on its path towards superpower figure．Yao, sadly, fell short．

　　According to an early report from Yahoo! Sports, which was confirmed by several other news organizations, Yao is going to retire．He just couldn’t conquer the injuries．A broken bone in his left foot absenced Yao after just five games last season．A broken foot forced him to miss all of the 2009 -2010 season．In fact, due to foot and knee injuries, Yao played in more than 55 games just once over the past six seasons．

　　Prior to Yao, players over 74" were usually one - skill person．Manute Bol, at 77" , blocked shots and, during one stretch, acted as a shamed three-pointer．Shawn Bradley, 76" , had skills, but was far too gentle to be a star．Yao, however, could do it all．At his top, in 2006 - 2007, he averaged 25 points per game．His turnaround jumper was unstoppable．His post -passes were usually on the money．（It helps when you can see over everyone．） Yao, who played in just eight seasons, finished his career averaging 19．0 points, and 9．2 rebounds, per game．His Rockets never advanced further than the second round of the playoffs(季后赛)．

　　Whatever on - court milestones Yao's body never allowed him to achieve, he more than made up for off the court．Yao was so much more than a basketball player．To the Chinese public who admired him, he was a symbol of his home country's possibility．Yao carried the Chinese flag at the Olympic opening ceremonies, soaking in the love of his country．

　　For the last couple of weeks, I had been stuck in front of my computer working on a project that was very important to me. My every waking hour was consumed by the project and although I imagined that I would feel happy after completing parts of the project, I was confused to find that instead, I was feeling rather depressed. I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up. I had a relaxing bath, cooked a delicious meal to enjoy with my family and even watched a lighthearted movie, but to no avail. It was only when I turned to meditation(沉思)for a solution that the answer came to me: turn to nature!

　　The very next day, I grabbed my camera and a bottle of water and set off to spend a few hours walking in a nature reserve, even though it was pouring with rain. Within a couple of minutes I felt alive again. To be honest, I felt like a young school girl again and had to stop myself from hopping along the path singing, "I'm singing in the rain", a song I used to sing when I was a child. I think as adults we often try too hard to control our inner children and as a result we restrain(限制) our own spirits, which only leads to depression and stress.

　　Interestingly, it has been shown that people who spend 40 minutes walking in a nature reserve have a drop in their blood pressure levels, but this does not happen when they spend a similar amount of time walking in a busy city centre.

　　If you feel a little low in spirit and know that you have spent too much time indoors, relax completely, remove your shoes and let your inner child come out and play.

　　1. The author felt depressed because she __________.

　　A. couldn't consume her waking hour

　　B. had not seen a film for a long time.

　　C. had not finished her work on time

　　D. had worked on a hard job for too long

　　2. The author walked in a nature reserve in the rain in order to__________.

　　A. take photos

　　B. find a solution to the project

　　C. hop along the path

　　D. cheer herself up

　　3. The underlined part "to no avail" in Paragraph 1 probably means " __________.".

　　A. unsuccessful

　　B. unrelated

　　C. uninteresting

　　D. unexpected

　　4. In the author's opinion, __________.

　　A. a bath can make people relaxed

　　B. depression is usually caused by hard work

　　C. walking in a busy city centre harms people's health

　　D. adults should express their inner feelings freely

　　5. The last paragraph mainly serves as a(n) __________.

　　A. explanation

　　B. suggestion

　　C. introduction

　　D. reminder

　　【答案与解析】

　　假如你的情绪不佳，那就投入到大自然的怀抱吧!身体得到放松，童心得以萌发，可以尽情玩耍。

　　1.·D细节理解题。第一段的前两句话告诉我们，原因是作者做一件艰苦的工作时间太长。

　　2.·D细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I tried a range of methods to help cheer myself up.”可知作者在自然保护区中散步也是为了“让自己振作起来”。

　　3.·A词义猜测题。根据画线部分前面的转折连词but可知洗澡、美食和电影都没有效果，都没有使作者振作起来。故A项与画线部分意思最接近。

　　4.·D推理判断题。结合第二段最后一句中的内容以及最后一段的内容可推知作者认为成年人唤醒童心能帮助他们摆脱低落情绪。

　　5.B文章结构题。最后一段提到如果你感到情绪低落并且知道在室内待的时间太久，你就要彻底放松，脱掉鞋子，释放自己的童心去玩耍，显然是提供”建议”。

　　Durban—Canada Monday became the first country to pull out of the historic Kyoto Protocol (京都议定书), inescapably scarring the global anti-climate change efforts．

　　The Kyoto Protocol, which set different duties for all countries to cut emissions (排放), states that different countries should reduce their collective greenhouse emissions accordingly． However, the United States refused to sign the protocol in 2001, and is the only developed country that has not agreed to sign it．The move has cast a shadow over the global community, and has made some other developed nations hesitate to cut their emissions．To add fuel to the fire, Canada, became the first to call it quits, with the deadline of the first commitment period (2008-2017) approaching．

　　The biggest concern at this moment is whether other developed countries would follow suit．

　　Over the past four years, a drama has unfolded among developed countries over the emissions cuts and offering support to their developing partners．

　　The Umbrella Group, consisting of Japan, Canada, Australia, the United States and other developed countries, hesitated and even backed away from their positions under certain excuses．The first one quoted by Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent is that emission cuts damage the economy．Still another is requiring China and India to have the same duty of cutting emissions as developed countries．

　　Actually, if emissions in developed countries could fall to the levels in developing countries, it would greatly help the fight against global climate change．

　　In sum, any irresponsible action, in the anti-climate change campaign should be a cause for blame．It is widely hoped that the United States and Canada will see reason and join the rest of the world community in supporting the Kyoto Protocol．

　　1．Which of the following serves as the best title of the passage?

　　A．Canada Decides to Quit the Kyoto Protocol．

　　B．Canada and the US Refuse to Cut Emissions．

　　C．Developed Countries Hesitating to Cut Emissions．

　　D．Developing Countries Supporting the Kyoto Protocol．2．According to the passage, ____ have refused to follow the Kyoto Protocol．

　　A．Canada and Australia

　　B．Japan and Canada

　　C．the US and Canada

　　D．China and India

　　3．People now are most worried ____．

　　A．whether the US and Canada will return to the negotiation table

　　B．whether developing countries will refuse to cut emissions

　　C．whether China and India will carry the same duty as Canada

　　D．whether more developed countries will do the same as Canada

　　1. B主旨大意题。这是一篇资讯报道。文章向我们报道了加拿大和美国先后退出了为控制全球变暖，部分国家签订的关于节能减排的 《京都议定书》，也就是B项所说的这两国家拒绝在减少温室气体的排放。

　　2. A细节理解题。由前两段可以直接得出答案。

　　3. C细节理解题。由倒数第三段的“The first one quoted by Canadian Environment Minister Peter Kent is that emission cuts damage the economy．Still another is requiring China and India to have the same duty of cutting emissions as developed countries．”可知答案。

　　The first time I went for a walk around my father-in-law’s neighborhood was garbage day, and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out.

　　It was back in 1981, and I saw many people gathered in someone’s front yard. As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales. For the few dollars I had in my wallet, I was able to buy a seven-inch black-and-white portable TV. I also bought a flashlight.

　　The following weekend, at another yard sale, I saw a 14-inch color TV being sold for almost nothing. I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it. Now I had two sets and couldn’t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend.

　　Spring ended, and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home.

　　Then this new idea came to mind. I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months. He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives. So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business.

　　Every few months I would gather several boxes of American “junk” ––– televisions, toasters, fans, hair dryers, etc. and send them home. As word got out about my father’s “trash” market, people all came to buy these things.

　　Three years later, when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home, I learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of “trash”. It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need.

　　1. According to the text, a yard sale is a place where people _______.

　　A. sell their front yards at a low price

　　B. sell unwanted things in their own yards

　　C. gather in someone’s yard to enjoy things

　　D. throw away their trash in someone’s yard

　　2. The author felt he could not miss the offer because _______.

　　A. the second TV set was bigger

　　B. the second TV set was color TV

　　C. the second TV set was very cheap

　　D. he wanted two TV sets very much

　　3. What did the author think of the “junk” he bought?

　　A. He thought they were valuable.

　　B. He thought they were worth buying.

　　C. He was not surprised to see them thrown away.

　　D. He thought he could sell them for a good price.

　　4. From the passage we can infer that _______.

　　A. The author comes from a poor country

　　B. The author often goes home to sell the “junk”

　　C. The author buys the “junk” only to make profits

　　D. The “junk” is not welcomed in the author’s home country

　　【答案与解析】

　　作者自接触到庭院销售后，一发而不可收拾。别人弃之不用的东西，却被作者当成宝贝送回了家乡。

　　1．B推理判断题。作者在第二段提到当时首次接触庭院销售，仅用几美元就买了一台电视机和一个手电筒，由此可推测是人们在他们自家的院子里出售不想要的东西的地方。

　　2．C细节理解题。结合第三段前两句的内容可知作者感觉到不能错过这次机会的原因是这台彩电非常便宜，几乎不用花钱。

　　3．A作者态度题。第四段中提到作者搜集了几乎各种类型的电子设备并一直希望把它们带回家，下文中提到运回家的这些“垃圾”深受父老乡亲的喜欢，再结合最后一段最后一句的内容可知作者认为自己购买的这些东西是有用的。

　　4．A推理判断题。作者购买的是庭院销售的廉价物品，运回自己的家乡后深受欢迎，文章最后提到自己有责任让家乡的人跟上最新技术的步伐，由此可推测作者来自一个贫穷的地方。
