22、Choose the best answer (根据以下内容，选择最恰当答案)

Nicolas Anelka arrived in Shanghai last month to begin playing for Shanghai Shenhua in the Chinese Super League (中超联赛). Anelka is French and played for France’s national team as well as for Chelsea (切尔西队) in England. He is the biggest and the latest of a growing number of foreign stars that have come to play professional sports in China.

At the beginning of this season, the Chinese Basketball Association had several NBA players in the league including Wilson Chandler and Kenyon Martin. These players came to China because of the NBA lockout (停摆，停赛) last September. They wanted to play basketball and they were able to get the same salary here as they would have in the NBA. However, most of them left China when the NBA season started again. The CSL and the CBA are happy to welcome these players and to pay them big salaries because both sports leagues have had trouble keeping their fan base. The CSL has lost many fans because of past match fixing scandals (打假球丑闻) and the CBA has suffered by comparison with the NBA — it’s just not as exciting.

China’s professional sports teams have a long way to go if they are going to match the quality of play seen in other countries. Bringing in top foreign athletes (运动员) is a way for Chinese athletes to learn and to improve. And it’s hoped that the big names will fill the seats in China’s stadiums and arenas (赛场).

More foreign athletes, such as Anelka, are also discovering that China is a great place to spend part of their careers. The money is good, but they also like the country and its culture. Anelka, for one, says he is “delighted (高兴的)” to be here. I think Shanghai is delighted to have him.

【1】Nicolas Anelka has played for ________.

A．Shanghai Shenhua and Chelsea

B．Chelsea and France’s national team

C．Shanghai Shenhua and France’s national team

D．France’s national team, Chelsea and Shanghai Shenhua

A．when the NBA season started again

B．last month

C．at the beginning of this season

D．last September

【3】The possible reason why NBA players left China is that ________.

A．the CBA is not very happy to welcome the players

B．the CBA refuses to pay the players the same salary as they’ve expected

C．the CBA isn’t as exciting as the NBA

D．the players have lost their interest in playing basketball

【4】The underlined part can be replaced (替代) by ________.

A．foreign stars

D．famous foreign athletes

23、   Almost everyone knows Garfield. He is a fun­loving cat in comic strips (连环漫画).

24、Billions of locusts (蝗虫) are moving through farms and fields in the East African countries of Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia.

Locusts are grasshoppers (蚱蜢). Normally grasshoppers don't travel in groups so they do little harm. But when there are lots of them, their bodies and behavior change. That’s when they become locusts. Locusts travel in huge groups,

laying eggs along the way, which produces even more locusts. In a single day, a small swarm (群) of the insects can eat as much food as 35 ,000 people do.

The locust swarms in Ethiopia and Somalia are the worst in 25 years. These locusts are desert locusts. They began swarming about six months ago. By moving with the winds, desert locusts can travel up to 90 miles a day or more.

Locust swarms are more common when heavy rains follow a long dry period. The insects lay their eggs in the wet ground. This season, East Africa has had its heaviest rainy season in 40 years.

When the insects swarm (成群地飞来飞去), one square kilometer of land can hold as many as 150 million locusts. There are 700 square kilometers of land covered by the insects in Kenya alone.

The insects are a threat to lives in the regions, where food is already in short supply. Already many farmers who keep animals are struggling because locusts have eaten up the plants the animals usually live on

In East Africa, farmers have been shooting into the air or making noises in the fields, but that doesn’t work against so many insects. Experts say that spraying pesticides (杀虫剂) over large areas from airplanes is the only way to reduce the number of the insects. The UN has released (释放) $ 10 million to help deal with the locust problem. The UN says about $70 million is needed to truly control the locusts with pesticides.

【1】Which is TRUE about locusts?

A．Normally they don’t travel in groups.

B．A small swarm of locusts eat a lot of food a day.

C．They lay eggs in the wind.

D．They do little harm to the plants.

【2】East Africa has got the locust problem because ________.

A．the land is too dry to grow crops

B．farmers pull out all the grass there

C．poor people love to eat locusts as food

D．it has too much rain after the dry season

【3】How many locusts are there in Kenya?

A．About 150,000,000.

B．About 700,000,000.

C．About 1,850,000, 000.

D．About 105,000, 000,000.

【4】According to the passage, a “threat” probably can ________.

A．bring good luck to people

B．make people live a happy life

C．cause danger in the future

D．help keep more animals

【5】We can infer from the last paragraph that ________.

A．farmers are trying to scare the insects off

B．spraying pesticides can’t solve the locust problem

C．the UN thinks the locust problem isn’t serious

D．East Africa has required no more help so far

25、   Jim and Cathy come from a typical American family. As the elder brother, Jim often o【1】 (主动提出) to help Cathy work out problems. Jim plays f【2】

(足球) with great skills. But there is a cloud hanging over Jim′s development. His mother often c【3】 (比较) Jim with other children. She always wants him to compete with others and win. This causes much p【4】 (压力) for Jim. It also pushes Jim into a crazy and nervous place. Jim often argues with his mother and the r【5】 (关系) between them are difficult. Jim doesn′t want to c【6】 (继续) practicing football anymore. I guess Jim wants to cut out all the matches.

In my opinion, everyone has his own world to look through. It′s w【7】 (错误的) to push Jim so hard. Perhaps they should deal with this problem. They should find a chance to explain to each other as quickly as possible. Firstly, as m【8】 (成员) of a family, they should often communicate to get on well with each other. It′s clear that parents can′t give children too much pressure. I【9】(反而), they should allow their children to do whatever they like. S【10】 (其次), parents should have proper communication with their children.
