11、s had a slow and difficult start as an author. His first book almost did not get published. However, after many months of being turned down his persistence paid off.

20、m a parent or grandparent. Often, its accompanied by an appeal: “Just think about those starving orphans in Africa!“ Sure, we should be grateful for every bite of food. Unfortunately, many people in the US take too many bites. Instead of staying “clean the plate“, perhaps we should save some food fo

21、r tomorrow.According to news reports, US restaurants are partly to blame for the growing bellies. A waiter puts a plate of food in front of each customer, with two to four times the amount recommended by the government, according to a USA Today story. Americans traditionally associate quantity with

22、value and most restaurants try to give them that. They prefer to have customers complain about too much food rather than too little.Barbara Rolls, a nutrition professor at Pennsylvania State University, told USA Today that restaurant portion sizes began to grow in the 1970s, the same time that the A

23、merican waistline began to expand.Health experts have tried to get many restaurants to serve smaller portions. Now, apparently, some customers are calling for this, too. The restaurant industry trade magazine QSR “reported last month that 57 percent of more than 4,000 people surveyed believe restaur

24、ants serve portions that are too large; 23 percent had no opinion; 20 percent disagreed. But a closer look at the survey indicates that many Americans who cant afford fine dining still prefer large-portions. 70 percent of those earning at least $150,000 per year prefer smaller portions; but only 45

25、percent of those earning less than $ 25,000 want smaller.Its not that working class Americans dont want to eat healthy. Its just that, after long hours at low-paying jobs, getting less on their plate hardly seems like a good deal. They live from paycheck to paycheck, happy to save a little money for

30、1，分数：15.00)Kobe BryantAfter 10 seasons wearing the No. 8 on his back, Kobe Bryant will become No. 24 next season. The reason for the surprising decision by the Los Angeles Lakers super guard last week has become a hot topic for debate.Bryant wore No. 24 when he was in early high school, but he chang

31、ed to No. 33 in his senior year. He switched to No. 8 when he was selected by the Lakers in 1996, and has not been changed since.Bryant has refused to explain the decision until the end of the play-offs (季后赛). So guessing Bryants motive has become a popular game among NBA fans and newspaper columnis

32、ts(专栏作家).There are all kinds of speculations. Many say that Bryant wants to leave the past behind and have a fresh start. He has often been criticized for playing to benefit himself and not the team as a whole. Others say that he may be trying to compare himself to Michael Jordan. Jordan was famous

33、for his No. 23 jersey(运动衫). Some, such as NBA Sport columnist Michael Venter, argue that it is “all about money“. Bryant will make more money by selling new jerseys to his fans.Some speculations are more about fun. For example, there is an opinion that Kobe is actually just a diehard(非常执著的) fan of t

34、he popular TV drama“24“.All this talk has turned the number change into a major issue. It seems that there is a lot of fuss (大惊小怪) over something that should be pretty simple.Jersey numbers have their own special significance in American sports, especially basketball. Players choose their number whe

35、n they join a team and they usually stick with that number for the rest of their career. When a great player retires, his team will honor him by retiring his number.To some extent, the jersey is the player, and the player is the jersey. Thus, when you see the famous No. 23 for the Chicago Bulls, you

36、 immediately think about Michael Jordan. A No. 32 Miami Heats jersey recalls the image of Shaquille ONeal, and the Houston Rockets No. 11 belongs only to Yao Ming.Lots of stories are behind players jersey number selections. Jordan said that he chose No. 23 because it was roughly half of 45Jordans el

37、der brother wore the No. 45 in college. Yao Ming once revealed that the No. 11 stands for two people in lovemeaning him and his girlfriend Ye Li.（分数：15.00）(1).Which team has Bryant played for?AThe Los Angeles Lakers.BThe Houston Rockets.CThe Chicago Bulls.DThe Miami Heats.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).How lo

38、ng has Bryant been wearing No. 8 ?ASince he started to play basketball.BFor ten seasons.CSince he entered high school.DSince he left the Lakers.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following is NOT a speculation about Bryants motive to change his number, according to this passage?AHe wants to leave his

39、 past behind and have a fresh start.BHe wants to compare himself to Jordan.CHe wants to earn more money.DHe wants to show that he is a man of great importance.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Why did Jordan choose No. 23?ABecause that number would make him famous.BBecause that number would make his fans miss hi

40、m.CBecause that number was related to the number his brother once wore.DBecause that number was easy to remember.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(5).What does the number Yao Ming chose stand for?ATwo long legs.BTwo strong arms.CTwo people in love.DTwo big countries.（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.七、第三篇(总题数：1，分数：15.00)Trying to F

41、ind a PartnerOne of the most striking findings of a recent poll in the UK is that of the people interviewed, one in two believes that it is becoming more difficult to meet someone to start a family with.Why are many finding it increasingly difficult to start and sustain intimate relationships? Does

42、modern life really make it harder to fall in love? Or are we making it harder for ourselves?It is certainly the case today that contemporary couples benefit in different ways from relationships. Women no longer rely upon partners for economic security or status. A man doesnt expect his spouse to be

43、in sole charge of running his household and raising his children.But perhaps the knowledge that we can live perfectly well without a partnership means that it takes much more to persuade people to abandon their independence.In theory, finding a partner should be much simpler these days. Only a few g

44、enerations ago, your choice of soul mate(心上人)was constrained(限制) by geography, social convention and family tradition. Although it was never explicit, many marriages were essentially arranged.Now those barriers have been broken down. You can approach a builder or a brain surgeon in any bar in any ci

45、ty on any given evening. When the world is your oyster(牡蛎), you surely have a better chance of finding a pearl.But it seems that the old conventions have been replaced by an even tighter constraint: the tyranny of choice.The expectations of partners are inflated (提高) to an unmanageable degree : good

46、 looks, impressive salary, kind to grandmother, and right socks. There is no room for error in the first impression.We think that a relationship can be perfect. If it isnt, it is disposable. We work to protect ourselves against future heartache and dont put in the hard emotional labor needed to buil

47、d a strong relationship. Of course, this is complicated by realities. The cost of housing and child-rearing creates pressure to have a stable income and career before a life partnership.（分数：15.00）(1).What does the recent poll show?A. It is getting more difficult for a woman to find her husbandB. It

48、is getting increasingly difficult to start a familyC. It is getting more difficult for a man to find his wifeD. It is getting increasingly difficult to develop an intimate relationship with your spouse（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following is NOT true about a contemporary married couple?A. The

49、wife doesnt have to raise the children all by herselfB. The husband doesnt have to support the family all by himselfC. The wife is no longer the only person to manage the householdD. They will receive a large sum of money from the government（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following was NOT a constraint on ones choice of
