5、scribing the players overall style on the court (球场). Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players.“Tiny” Nate Archibald, at six feet one inch tall, was small for a basketball player. Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he play

6、ed in the NBA. Interestingly, his nickname originated off the court: he was named after his father, “Big Tiny”.“Magic” Earvin Johnson was called “Magic” by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game. Johnson was a skillful player, often doing the unexpected, to the chagrin

7、 of his competitors and the delight of the audience. He also won a gold medal as part of the U.S. “Dream Team” in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.“The Mailman” Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently. Malone spent most of his career with the Utah J

8、azz, gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time.

9、ook easy. He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game, playing in arelaxed way under pressure. Gervin, who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs, was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard.11. Whose nickname has nothing to do with basketball?A. Nate Archiba

11、riting the text is to _.A. uncover the secrets of NBA players successB. talk about how to give others a lovely nicknameC. introduce some NBA players and their nicknamesD. show how to become an excellent basketball playerBDear Mr / Ms, I would like to suggest that the starting time be changed at our

12、school. Classes at Sebastian Valley Middle School simply start too early in the morning. Getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night is almost impossible when classes begin at 7:30 am. In order to shower, dress, get organized, eat a quick breakfast, and meet the school bus by 6:45, I would have

13、to get up at 5:45. Early in the morning, students are too sleepy to learn well. Without enough sleep, young people cannot think clearly or enjoy learning. According to a report called “Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?” from Sebastian Valley Times, “Sleepiness disturbs concentration, reduces short-

14、term memory, and causes bad feelings.” Researchers have learned that teens normally fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Teens who stay up late at night have trouble getting up early in the morning. Studies show that some schools have already adjusted school hours to better match the teen slee

15、p cycle (周期); as a result, students in these schools are learning better on the new schedule. Some of my classmates argue that starting school an hour later will prevent them from taking part in after-school athletic programs. A solution would be to carry out these programs before school instead of

16、after school. The students who are involved in sports and clubs would continue to arrive at the usual time. The rest of the student body could get a little more sleep and arrive an hour later. Teens usually have a later sleep cycle, and learn and behave better when rested. So I would like to suggest

17、 that we have a meeting to discuss the problem and listen to all the students voice. Thank you for considering this request!Tom Sullivan, Grade 814. In Toms opinion, classes should begin at _.A. 6:45 B. 7:30 C. 8:00 D. 8:3015. A report from Sebastian Valley Times was mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show

18、 _.A. the popularity of Toms schoolB. the disadvantages of lacking sleepC. the importance of athletic programsD. the characteristics of the teen sleep cycle16. Which of the following does Tom probably agree with?A. Sleep is food for the brain.B. Books should be few but good.C. Challenge is needed fo

19、r success.D. T.17. Tom wrote the letter mainly to _. A. put forward a suggestion B. send his congratulations C. make an apology D. express thanks C Regularly spending time in a sauna (桑拿房) may help keep the heart healthy and extend (延长) life, say Finnish scientists in the journal JAMA Internal Medic

20、ine. Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) studied 2,300 middle-aged men for an average of 20 years.They divided the men into three groups according to how often they used a sauna each week. Over the course of the study, 49% of men who went to a sauna once a week died, compared wi

21、th 38% of those who went two to three times a week and just 31% of those who went four to seven times a week. Frequent visits to a sauna were also linked with lower death rates from heart disease. The results dont surprise Dr. Thomas H. Lee, founding editor of theHarvard Heart Letter.“The beneficial

22、 effects of a sauna have been well documented in the past.It lowers blood pressure, and there is every reason to believe that its effects are good for your heart,” says Dr. Lee. Sauna use is deeply rooted in Finnish culture.A nation of 5.5 million people, Finland has as many saunas as television set

23、s around 3.3 million.Most of the saunas are in peoples homes, although theyre also in offices and factories. The very nature of the Finnish sauna is designed to reduce stress, the researchers say.The sauna has been a gathering place for family and friends for centuries. And a basic sauna rule, which

24、 discourages people from discussing controversial topics while bathing, is taught to the Finns during childhood. The Finnish researchers suggest that saunas may provide similar benefits to exercise because the high temperatures can drive heart rates to levels often achieved by moderate-intensity (中等

25、强度的) physical activities. So can sitting in a sauna take the place of exercising?“I dont know that I would take a sauna for exercise,” Dr. Lee says.“But exercising and then taking a sauna seems like a very healthy lifestyle.” 18. What do the numbers in Paragraph 2 show?A. It can be harmful to use a

26、sauna too often. B. Regular sauna users are likely to live longer. C. Different people have different sauna habits. D. Saunas may lower death rates from heart disease. 19. What does Dr. Lee think of UEF researchers findings?A. They are amazing.B. They are interesting. C. They match his expectations.

27、D. They go against past documents. 20. What do we know about the Finnish sauna? A. It is easily accessible to the Finns. B. It encourages people to debate. C. It is a completely new lifestyle. D. It attracts more children than adults. 21. Which may be the best for your health according to Dr. Lee? A

28、. Having as many saunas as possible. B. Using a sauna after doing physical activities.C. Doing physical exercise in high temperatures.D. Taking moderate-intensity physical exercise.D Mary Frye enjoyed writing poetry very much. She wasnt interested in publishing her poems, and once in a while she pas

29、sed one on to her friends. “I dont think I have any great talent,” she said. But many people would disagree. One of her poems, especially, has given hope and comfort (安慰) to people for over 50 years. When one of her friends lost someone close, Mary Frye wrote a poem, which seemed to spring from her

30、heart, and gave it to the sad woman. That poem was later passed on to others, who, in turn, passed it on until it became an American classic. “If it helps one person through a hard time, I am satisfied,” said Mary, who received no pay for her work. It has been used at countless funerals (葬礼), transl

31、ated and used in foreign lands. Here is her original text, which has moved so many for so long: Do not stand at my grave and weep, / I am not there, I do not sleep. / I am in a thousand winds that blow, / I am the softly falling snow. / I am the gentle showers of rain, / I am the fields of ripening grain. / I am in the morning hush, / I am in the graceful rush. / Of beautiful birds in circling flight, / I am the starshine
