Our reporter will bring us something about NBA players.

Today about one in every five NBA players was born outside the United States. This season opened with 83 international players.

They include stars like Yao Ming from China on the Houston Rockets and German-born Dirk Nowizki of the Dallas Mavericks. He just became the first European-born players to win the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award. Also, there is Argentine-born Manu Ginobili who helped the Spurs to win this year’s finals with their victory in the West over the Utah Jazz.

NBA players from Africa include Sudanese-born Luol Deng of the Chicago Bulls and Dikembe Mutombo. Mutombo, who most recently joined the Houston Rockets, was born in Kinshasa and is known for his charity work in Africa. He was considering retirement but has said he will play again next year. He will be forty-one years old on June twenty-fifth.

It was during the 1990s that a growing number of top NBA players began to come from outside the United States. In 2002, Yao Ming was the first choice on the NBA list. He was picked by the Houston Rockets.

Yao Ming became the first international player without college experience in the United States to be chosen first. In 2003, during the NBA off-season, Yao helped raise money and educate people in China about SARS. That was when the lung disease known as SARS broke out in southern China and spread around the world. Hearing about the loss of shark populations, Yao said he would stop eating shark fin（鱼翅）soup, a popular Chinese meal.

Travelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break—a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.

* Save: This probably is the most preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you will have more choices about where to go and how to get there.

*Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.

*Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.

*Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

*Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same place. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.

*Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

*Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.

* Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.

* Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity. Com, www.bargains----lowest fare.com and www.Economic travel.com.

  By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

What will people die of 100 years from now? If you think that is a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking in bio-technology. With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today’s leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.

In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so on----in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.

It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.

66. According to the passage, human death is now mainly caused by_________.

A. diseases and aging                     B. accidents and war  

C. accidents and aging                    D. heart disease and war

67. In the author’s opinion, today’s most important advance in technology lies_______.

A. medicine     B. the Internet    C. brain cells    D. human organs

68. Human may live longer in the future because _____.

A. heart disease will be far away from us       

B. human brains can decide the final death

C. the basic materials of cells will last forever 

D. human organs can be repaired by new medicine

69. We can learn from the passage that________.

A. human life will not last more than 120 years in the future

B. human have to take medicine to build new skin cells now

C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life

D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells

 

D.

One of the largest counties is named for Captain Erastus “Deaf” Smith, a deaf man. Captain Smith was the leader of General Sam Houston’s scouts (侦察员) during the Texas Revolution, the war in which Texas won its freedom from Mexico. The county named in his honor is called Deaf Smith County.

A scout in the days of the Texas Revolution was much like what a spy is today. Captain “Deaf” Smith would find out where enemy troops were camped and how many men the enemy had; and he would report to Sam Houston. Even when other people could not see or hear any sign of people or animals, Captain Smith would know where they were. Sometimes he would guide Texas troops through enemy territory without the enemy even knowing they were there.

Erastus Smith was born in New York on April 19, 1787, but went to live in Mississippi when he was 11 years old. He went to Texas for a short time in 1817, and four years later returned to Texas to settle in. He wandered over Texas as a surveyor before he volunteered for army service after the start of the Texas Revolution.

Smith married a Mexican woman, and they had four children--- three girls and one boy. He spent a lot of time learning the customs, manners, and language of the Mexican settlers. When the Texas Revolution began in 1835, Smith at first refused to take part in it out of respect for his family’s heritage. However, after Mexican troops tried to stop him from going to San Antonio to visit his family, he volunteered for service with the Texans. He was made a captain.

70. At first, Smith refused to take part in the Texas Revolution because_______

A. he was a peace-loving person and hated fighting

B. Mexican soldiers stopped him from going to San Antonio

C. the Texans were not very good to him and his family

D. his wife was Mexican and he didn’t want to fight against her people

71. How old was Smith when he settled in Texas?

A. Thirty-four    B. Eleven    C. Thirty    D. Twenty-seven

72. Which of the following is the correct order of the events?

a. A county in Texas was named after Smith.

b. Smith got married to a Mexican woman.

c. Smith volunteered for service with the Texas.

d. Mexican troops tried to stop him from seeing his family.

e. Smith went to live in Mississippi.

f. The Texas Revolution started.

A. a-b-c-d-e-f    B. e-b-d-c-a-f    C. b-e-f-d-c-a    D. e-b-f-d-c-a

阅读短文，根据第73至75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。

We each have a memory. That’s why we can still remember things after a long time. Some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when say or do them again and again. Many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.

A good memory is a great help in learning a language. Everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. He hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. Some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. They can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. In school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.

But your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.

73. Please find a word in the passage to replace the phrase “learn…by heart”.

Canning and freezing are not the only ways to keep fish. Today we will discuss how to prepare dried or smoked fish.

  Begin with fish just out of the water. If the fish are small, leave their heads on. Cut off the heads if the fish are longer than twenty centimeters or weigh more than one hundred and fifteen grams.

  Now clean the freshly-caught fish. Remove the scales and cut open the stomach. Take out everything inside. Then wash the fish in the clean water and put salt inside them.

Next, put the fish in a big bowl with a total of three hundred grams of salt and one liter of water. This will take the blood out of the fish. Keep the fish in the water for about half an hour.

  Wash the fish in clean water again and then put them in salt water. The fish will float to the top. If they sink, add more salt to the water.

  Finally, use a clean piece of wood to cover the bowl. Hold it in place with a heavy stone. Leave the fish for about six hours and then place them on a clean surface. Use a clean piece of white cloth to cover the fish, and let them dry.

We have talked a lot about salt. Keep in mind that doctors advise people to limit the salt in their diet. It can raise blood pressure and lead to heart disease and other problems. Try to put as little salt as possible in the fish you cook.
