A. Macau Museum  
The Macau Museum is a historical and cultural museum with a vast number of objects of great historical
value, which demonstrates the way of life and cultures of the various communities which have been
inhabited the city for ages. The Macau Museum was opened on 18th April 1998, consisting of two
underground levels and a third one above the fortress' top platform where the old Meteorological
Services is housed. The architectural character and special configuration of the architecture has been
retained and preserved.
B. Maritime Museum
If the history of Macau is really connected to the sea, there is no better place for the Maritime Museum,
than the Square of the Barra Pagoda, dedicated to the Taoist goddess "A-MA", the protector of
fishermen, and also believed to be the place where the Portuguese first landed. The precise spot is where
the Maritime Museum is located, the building is in the shape of a sailing ship anchored in the waters of the
Inner Harbour.
C. Wine Museum
This 1400 square-metre space is divided into a number of areas (Historical information/Wine
Cellar/Museum and Exhibitions), using maps, texts, photos, tiles and videos, among other things to relate
the history of wine. The aim of each section is not only to provide information regarding wine and
grapevines, but also to recreate the atmosphere of the production of wine, showing the visitor the modern
and traditional tools connected to wine production.
D. Grand Prix Museum
Opened 1993 to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Macau Grand Prix, which features a number of
automobile and motorbike races and takes place every year in November. It started in 1954 due to the
enthusiasm of a group of Macau residents and the support of the authorities. Today it is an international
sports event that attracts thousands of tourists and racing enthusiasts to Macau, to watch the classic
"Guia Race" and the "Formula 3 Grand Prix". As it takes place on a street circuit, which inevitably leads
to a comparison with Monte Carlo, the Macau Grand Prix has been developing into a race that, due to
the exactness and the need for precision which it imposes on the drivers, has had the participation of
great names of the motor racing participating and which has also served as a launching platform for many
other names, the visitor will certainly recognize while visiting the Grand Prix Museum.
E. Macau Museum of Art
Under the management of the Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau, the Macau Museum of Art is the only
art museum in Macau, and provides the largest space dedicated to visual arts. It is situated in the Cultural Centre of Macau in the Outer Harbour area, and was inaugurated on 19 March 1999, with a total area
of more than 10,000 square meters and expositive capacity of almost 4,000 square meters. The artistic
works and cultural artifacts include Chinese Calligraphy and Paintings, Seals, Ceramics, Copperwares,
Western paintings, Contemporary Arts, Photography artworks, and other significant collections.
F. Handover Gifts Museum of Macau
The Handover Gifts Museum of Macau is located next to the Macau Cultural Centre in Avenida Xian
Xing Hai (NAPE). The location of the Museum is also the area that was used for the Handover
Ceremony on 20th December 1999 in which Macau was returned to the Mainland. When the hall was
dismantled after the ceremony the area became part of the Macau Cultural Centre. The Handover Gifts
Museum of Macau was opened December 2004. The main aim of the Museum is to commemorate the
handover for its significance in Macau's modern history. The inauguration of the Museum on the 5th
anniversary of the handover is also indeed significant and momentous.

  How to Play Tennis?

  1.Eyes shut.

  Once you've developed a sound service motion, it's important that you toss the ball into the same spot each time.You should be able to serve with your eyes closed, because the ball should be in the same spot every time.

  2.Knock and again.

  The key to having a powerful serve is in creating a loop(環(huán))in your back swing and letting your racquet(球拍)head drop behind you as you toss the ball.This lengthens the swing, and more length means increased power.Serving requires using the big muscles of the body.Ask Pete Samaras, Boris Becker, or Groans Ivanisevic where their power comes from and they'll say their legs, hips, and shoulders.

  3.Same as it ever was.

  When you're practicing your serve, go through the same preserve rituals you use during a match.Bounce the ball a few times; bring your hands together, and then come to the set position.It doesn't matter if you hold your hands high or low, or how many times you bounce the ball; just do it the same way you would in a match, every time.The idea behind practice is to create consistency through repetition.If you don't practice your rituals, they won't be worth employing during a match.

  4.Power plays.

  Looking to add more power to your serve?Here are two things you need to do:

  (1)Stay relaxed.When trying to hit the hall hard, most players tend to tighten up.Try to keep both your arm and your hand loose.

  (2)Don't be afraid to use your entire body.Turning your hips and shoulders and getting more leg drive into your motion will add power to your serve.The one thing you can't afford to do is only use your arm.The whole body needs to be part of the service chain.

(1)

Why should you serve with your eyes shut?

[  ]

A.

Because the motion can be very cool.

B.

Because you can put all your energy into serving.

C.

Because you can serve the ball further forward.

D.

Because you can locate the ball in the same place.

(2)

While you are playing tennis, where does the power probably come from?

[  ]

A.

The chest.

B.

The arms.

C.

The hand.

D.

The legs.

(3)

What does the underlined word"rituals" in the 3rd paragraph mean?It means ________.

[  ]

A.

a series of actions

B.

a series of ceremonies

C.

the regularly followed procedures

D.

manners while serving halls

(4)

Which of the following advice on serving a ball is FALSE according to the passage?

[  ]

閱讀理解

  閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中,選出最佳選項。

  There’s a modern African proverb I like to use when explaining why I feel it is so important to give back to my homeland:“When you take the elevator (lift)up to reach the top, please don’t forget to send the elevator back down, so that someone else can take it to the top. ”

  As a young man, I was given a wonderful opportunity to pursue an education in the United States at Georgetown University. Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would lead to a career in the NBA, which has allowed me to send the elevator back down to my people in Africa.

  Africa has been described as a continent that is dying, a continent that is suffering, a continent that needs help.

  It breaks my heart every day to think of all the children growing up in poverty (貧困), and without a sense of hope.

  But there is hope. It’s hard for me to describe my feelings when I think about what NBA players are doing to spread good will to people all over the world, but especially in Africa.

  I’ve waited so long for such a moment -seeing more NBA players participating and devoting their time and energy for the youth of the African continent. There’s nothing that brings more joy to my heart than this.

  The kids that we were working with come from such deep suffering. Some have never even left their village before. To get an opportunity to board a plane and travel to another country to take part in Basketball without Borders, to meet and interact with NBA players and coaches, is like a dream come true. They got to eat wonderful meals. They’re given a uniform and basketball shoes. Some of them are so overwhelmed, they don’t even know what to say.

  Pete Babcock, who was general manager of the Atlanta Hawks when I played for them, told me in all his years around basketball, he has never received as many thank you as he did in Africa. When I hear something like that, I feel such a deep sense of pride, because I know how truly appreciative these kids are for this experience.

(1)

What can we learn about the author?

[  ]

A.

He dreamt of being a NBA player when he was young.

B.

He has made a lot of contributions to his homeland.

C.

He has trained several famous African basketball players.

D.

He wants the African people to remember what he has done for them.

(2)

What the author has expected most is that ________.

[  ]

A.

he will return to his homeland after he is retired

B.

more and more African children get trained in Africa

C.

the African people can survive from poverty by themselves

D.

his NBA fellows are able to do something for the African youth

(3)

What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?

[  ]

A.

All the African kids have never left their hometown.

B.

The author still plays basketball for Atlanta Hawks.

C.

Pete Babcock has been to Africa to help the people there.

D.

All the NBA players and coaches are eager to talk with African kids.

(4)

The underlined word “overwhelmed”in Paragraph 7 means “________”.

[  ]

A.

busy

B.

excited

C.

shocked

D.

confused
