5．Many great basketball players had clever nicknames （綽號），usually describing the player's overall style on the court （球場）．Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players．
"Tiny"
     Nate Archibald，at six feet one inch tall，was small for a basketball player．Still，Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasons that he played in the NBA．Interestingly，his nickname originated off the court：he was named after his father，"Big Tiny"．
"Magic"
       Earvin Johnson was called"Magic"by a sportswriter who saw him playing basketball in one high school game．Johnson was a skillful player，often doing the unexpected，to the chagrin of his competitors and the delight of the audience．He also won a gold medal as part of the U．S．"Dream Team"in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona，Spain．
"The Mailman"
    Karl Malone earned his nickname because on the court he delivered consistently．Malone spent most of his career with the Utah Jazz，gaining a reputation as one of the best power forwards of all time．He also won two Olympic gold medals，as part of the U．S．"Dream Team"in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona，Spain and in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta，Georgia．
"The Iceman"
 George Gervin made the most difficult shots look easy．He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game，playing in a relaxed way under pressure．Gervin，who played most of his 14 years in the NBA with the San Antonio Spurs，was unequalled in many ways as a shooting guard．

分析 本文接受了一些優(yōu)秀的NBA球員的綽號．

解答 21．A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章第二段最后一句Archibald's nickname originated off the court：he was named after his father，"Big Tiny"．他的綽號與籃球場沒有關(guān)系，而是以他的父親而命名，故選A．
22．D 詞義猜測題．根據(jù)文章第三段中．Johnson was a skillful player，often doing the unexpected…Johnson是一個技術(shù)型選手，經(jīng)常做一些出乎意料的事以及 the delight of the audience 他能讓觀眾高興，那么就會使得他的對手煩惱．故答案D正確．
23．C 推理判斷題． 根據(jù)最后一段He was also famous for keeping his cool in every game..他在比賽中能保持冷靜，發(fā)揮極好．故選C．
24．D 主旨大意題． 根據(jù)第一段Many great basketball players had clever nicknames （綽號），usually describing the player's overall style on the court （球場）．Below are some of the colorful nicknames among popular NBA players．講述了在球場上的優(yōu)秀運(yùn)動員的綽號，后面就圍繞其展開了描述．結(jié)合選項，答案為D．

點(diǎn)評 本文是社會文化類閱讀理解．做這類題材閱讀理解時要求考生對文章通讀一遍，做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析，結(jié)合選項選出正確答案．推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案，切忌胡亂猜測，一定要做到有理有據(jù)

10．What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear．
We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough．In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle．It needs exercise．Mental exercise is particularly important for young children．Many child psychologists （心理學(xué)家） think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about．The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent．If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent．
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children．According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things．So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as"That was a very clever thing you did．"or"You are such a smart child．"
53．The words"intelligent"and"brilliant"in the first paragraph probably meanA while"dull"in the second paragraph meansA．
A．bright and splendid； slow in thinking and understanding
B．pretty and handsome； ordinary-looking
C．great and important； common
D．hopeful and helpful； careless
54．According to the context we can guess that a genius isC while an idiot isC．
A．a(chǎn) normal person； a funny person
B．a(chǎn) strong person； a weak person
C．a(chǎn) highly intelligent person； a foolish or weak-minded person
D．a(chǎn) famous person； an ordinary person
55．A personD is more likely to become a genius．
A．whose parents are clever
B．often thinking about difficult problems
C．often helped by his parents and teachers
D．born with a good brain and putting it into active use
56．It is better for parentsA．
A．to praise and encourage their children more often
B．to be hard on their children
C．to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D．to give their children as much help as possible
57．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article？C
A．Parents play an important part in their children's growth．
B．The less you use your mind the duller you may become．
C．Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live．
D．What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion．

17．Research shows that the summer before college can be a dangerous time for teenagers，as they are between home and high school on the one side，and a more challenging and independent existence as a college student on the other．
Take drinking for example．Research has reported that teenagers tend to increase their alcohol use during the summer before college and in their first term．Such drinking can lead to tragedy：it's estimated that more than 1，100college students at 18to 24years of age die each year from alcohol-related injuries，including car crashes，and almost 600，000are injured under the influence of alcohol．
In addition to drinking，future freshmen may also have gaps in their knowledge about other aspects of university life．A study has found that students are"generally aware"of the fact that they have to place them into college courses and their school's curricular requirements．In addition，many students hold misunderstandings such as"Getting into college is the hardest part"，and"I can take whatever classes I want when I get to college"．In fact，students'courses may be determined by their level of preparation．
It is found that college-bound high-school graduates are faced with a number of potentially frightening tasks during the summer．For example，colleges typically require students to take placement tests（分班考試）and fill out a lot of paperwork，including housing and medical forms，over the summer．Completing these tasks may be especially frightening for low-income and first-generation college-bound students whose families may be short of experience with the college-going process．
In addition，it's only in the summer after high-school graduation when students face the reality of paying the first college bill，which often includes unexpected costs like required health insurance．For college-intending students，successfully controlling the post-high-school summer thus requires a level of finance that may be unrelated to their ability to succeed in the classroom．As a result，students who have already broken through many barriers to college admission may fail to enter college．
Paring college-bound students with"fellow advisers"---students already in college who have been trained to support and coach their learners through the summer---improves the rate at which the learners show up at college．Even more wonderful，a low-cost campaign of text messages---in which researchers sent recent high-school graduates and their parents a series of eight to ten text-message reminders of key tasks to complete over the summer---is just as effective in increasing the rate of students who successfully make the change to college．
A little"summer pushing"could be a key step in getting students all the way across the finish line．
The Key to College Success：Summer
FactsThe summer before college throws（71）possible/potentialdangers to high-school graduates．
College life is challenging and needs students'（72）independence．

Future freshmen have false （74）expectations/understandings/ideasabout college life．
