24、

Training is over for the day, but one Boston Celtics basketball team coach is still working. Assistant coach Kara Lawson is on the team's court helping new player Carsen Edwards improve his game. He gets the ball into the basket several times and then runs over to her. “Thanks coach” Edwards says before exchanging a high-five with Lawson.

Lawson is one of a record high 11 women serving as assistant coaches among the 30 NBA teams.

“It's not a fad (一时风潮),” said former professional basketball player Nancy Lieberman. “It's opportunities going to very accomplished women who have given their life to the game.” Lieberman herself has broken down barriers as a player, as a coach in the WNBA, as head coach in an NBA minor league and as an assistant in the NBA. She says she quickly learned that building relationships was critical to easing gender (性别) barriers in the organization.

Players respect the women assistant coaches for their experience and knowledge of the game. Kara Lawson was a basketball star at the University of Tennessee and later won a WNBA championship with the Sacramento Monarchs. She also won a gold medal with the U.S women's basketball team at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing China. She retired from play in 2015. Earlier this year, she joined the Celtics as a coach.

One female assistant coach, Kristi Toliver, does double duty. She plays for the WNBA'S Washington Mystics. She also serves as an assistant coach to the NBA'S Washington Wizards team. “The biggest thing learned is to share your voice and what you’ve learned,” Toliver said. “Doing that has helped me communicate with my guys.”

Along with the record number of female assistants, five female referees (裁判) will be working NBA games this season. It's believed the NBA will soon have its first female head coach. Such a move would go a long way toward putting even more women in position to make decisions in the sport.

【1】What's the relationship between Carsen Edwards and Kara Lawson?

A.Player and coach. B.Student and teacher. C.Son and mother. D.Brother and sister.

【2】The underlined word “barriers” in Paragraph 3 means________ in English.

A.pieces of hard or unpleasant work that has to be done

B.things that prevent or control progress or movement

C.quicker ways of doing something in order to save time or effort

D.abilities to control your fear in a dangerous or difficult situation

【3】The best title for this passage is________.

A.The more you know WNBA B.A woman assistant coach

C.Women work better than before D.Women serving as assistant coaches

【4】The women assistant coaches win the hearts of players for their________.

A.two roles of both a player and a coach

B.experience and knowledge of the games

C.kindness and being members at the Olympics

D.communication and positions to make speeches to the games

26、Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)

You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.

When I first studied English, I was told to say, “I am fine.” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good.” or “I’m tired.”

One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.

Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.

To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan (日晒后的颜色). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.

I was also surprised by how hard-working US students are.

In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.

The kids here are so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.

【1】According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English.

A．quite different from

B．the same as

C．more difficult than

D．easier than

【2】What does the underlined word “confused ” in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese?

A．困惑

B．憧憬

D．后悔

【3】A good US student spends his/her time ________.

A．only in doing homework

B．only on sports or music

C．only in working for the public

D．on studies, sports or music and public work

【4】Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The writer is now in US.

B．American girls love to have white skin.

C．US students are talented and hard-working.

D．The writer regrets (后悔) that he gave up playing the piano.

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A．My Own Travel in the US

B．My Studying in the US

C．My Opinion about the US

D．My Friends in the US

【6】How do US people say when others ask them “How are you?”

A．How do you do?

B．How are you?

C．I am fine.

D．I’m good or I am tired.

【7】One day someone said to me, “What’s up?

I ________.

A．answered them quickly

B．also said to them “What’s up?”

C．smiled only

D．didn’t know how to answer their question

27、   Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.

Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)－allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators (自动扶梯) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.

About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, the head of a research company.

【1】According to the text, living in a “smart” city _______.

A.will cost lots of money B.will be far from you

C.will soon become true D.is completely impossible

【2】Paragraph 2 is mainly about _______.

A.a city of the future B.a meeting in Songdo

C.a plan to build a house D.a report on public health

【3】Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to _______.

A.drive people out of cities B.control the world’s population

C.develop his own company D.solve the cities’ coming problems

【4】Which of the following might be the best title for the text?

A.Great Changes B.Famous Companies

C.Future Education D.Smart Cities in the Future
