Still, Archibald used speed and his brains to control the court in the 14 seasonsthat 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 playingbasketball 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.

2015-2016学年贵州省铜仁地区思南中学高二下学期期中考试英语Neither rain nor snow nor the dark of night can separate Tennessee postal carrier “Mailman Mike” from his 4-and-a-half-year-old friend Carter Lawson – or keep them from their appointments.For the past nine months, the two have teamed up every day in the preschooler’s Knoxville neighborhood for a few minutes of delivering mail together and chatting with fellow neighbors. Lawson wants to be a mail carrier when he grows up, and in an inspiring story, his mom told us how mailman Mike Crenshaw has been a role model to her son. “Anyone could just be like ‘Go away, kid’, but Mike has really gone out of his way to talk with Carter,” said Cassie Lawson of the United States Postal Service carrier. Little Carter even got his own uniform to match Mike’s. “It’s been really cute. I just couldn’t believe he got a full mailman’s costume,”the postal service employee said.“Every letter carrier has stops he looks forward to and this is the one I look forward to every day,” said Mgive to beggars. Let us look at their arguments.First, some believe that many city beggars dress up on purpose to look pitiable and actually make a good living from begging. Giving to beggars only encourages this sort of evil (恶行) . Secondly, there is the worry that the money' you give will be spent on beer, wine or drugs. Thirdly, there is the opinion that there is no real excuse for begging. One might be poor, but that is no reason for losing one's sense of pride and self-dependence.Related to this is the opinion that the problem should be dealt with by the government rather than ordinary people. Some people think beggars should go to the local government department and receive help.It is hard to come to any final conclusion; there are various cases and we must deal with them differently. A few coins can save a life in some situations, and even if the money is wasted, that does not take away the moral goodness of the giver. 1．What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Moral deeds of people.B. Religious activities of the church.C. Moral goodness of the giver.D. Arguments on giving to beggars.2．What can we infer from the sentence "But has the world changed?" in the second paragraph?A. People no longer know who suffers misfortune in the village.B. Some people will not do what was morally right in the past.C. We don't meet with those who need help any more.D. Now it is the government's duty to help the beggars.3．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some people dress up to pretend to be beggars.B. Some beggars want money to help their children go to school.C. Some beggars use the money to buy drugs.D. Some beggars have no excuse for begging.4．In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that it is hard to come to any final conclusion, because .A. the cases can be so differentB. there are so many beggarsC. there is so much money wastedD. there are so many different arguments.You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it's likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being values and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的) choices rather than reactionary (反动的) ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you will not only feel good about yourself, but also strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time, acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.5．The main purpose of this passage is to .A. persuade the readers to make a promiseB. explain to the readers what personal values areC. inform the readers how to be truly happyD. instruct the readers how to make wise choices6．According to the text, living by your being values, you would .A. gain a lot of powerB. form positive personalityC. seek all human virtuesD. fill your own needs7．The underlined word "void" in Paragraph l means .A. a feeling of emptinessB. an absence of one's mindC. a break of continuityD. a state of confusion8．What can be inferred from the text?A. Having values are better than being values.B. A calm person does not choose to complain.C. The way other people think of you decides who you are.D. A responsible person does not care about financial security.* CAR HIREHiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday. There are so many places of interest to visit, and if you enjoy more than just the city center, there's no better way to explore than by car.CONDITIONS OF HIRE :9．What cost does a car hirer have to pay for?A. Insurance against damage to the carB. Insurance against injury to the driverC. The cost of maintenance of the carD. The cost of repairs to the car10．The hire charge for a three-day period depends on .A. the type of the car you hireB. the distance you will coverC. the amount of oil you put in the carD. the length of time you park the car11．If you cancel your car hire booking , .A. another ￡12 will be paid to the companyB. you cannot get back the booking feeC. you will get back the booking fee in two weeksD. your request must be made before the date of hireIt seems school children all over the world complain about their school food. Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?Japan High schools have canteens, which serve everything from noodles to rice, but not burgers and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and vegetables.Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition value. Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭 ) at the end of the month receives a prize.The United States A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken, lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily dietary allowances (定量 ) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium (钙) and calories.Australia Meat pies, sausage rolls and hot dogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the nation pays more attention to children's health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school menus.Many schools have used a traffic light system. The sale of red-labeled foods, including pastries, chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labeled foods such as sushi (寿司),sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day.In some schools, students have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.South Africa Most of South Africa's schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at l:30 p.m. and students get their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases, some schools in towns have led the way towardsbetter nutrition.

something was wrong，and ran down to the edge of the near bank．There I saw Ma Shwe with her three﹣month﹣old calf struggling in the fast﹣rising water，and it was a life﹣and﹣death struggle．Her calf was floating and screaming with fear．Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get，holding her whole body against the rushing water，and keeping the calf pressed against her huge body．Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away．There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mother's body and was gone．Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk（象鼻）against the rocky bank．Then with a huge effort，she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelfof rock．Just at this moment，she felt back into the river．If she were carried down，it would be certain death．I knew，as well as she did，that there was one spot （地点）where she could get up the bank，but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf．While I was wondering what I could do next，I heard the sound of a mother's love．Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as

two years，until he is 18．The 16﹣year﹣old works for a small firm in Liverpool，where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job．David's firm releases（推出）two new games for the fast growing computer market each month．But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money．Even though he earns a lot，he cannot drive a car，take out a mortgage（抵押贷款），or get credit cards．David got his job with the Liverpool﹣based company four months ago，a year after leaving school with six O﹣levels and working for a time in a computer shop．"I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs，"he said．David spends some of his money on records and clothes，and gives his mother 50pounds a week．But most of his spare time is spent working．"Unfortunately，computing was not part of our studies at school，"he said．"But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time．I knew what I wanted to do and never

American Midwest，it's hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings．"Most of the infections（感染）we think of as human infections staned in other animals，"says Stephen Morse，director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University．It's not just that we're going to where the animals are；we're also bringing them closer to us．Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country．A strange illness killed Isaksen's pets，and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea．"I don't think it's fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them，"says Isaksen．"Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing，"says Peter Schantz．Monkey﹣pox may be the wake﹣up call．Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners．We know very little about these new diseases．A new bug（病毒）may be kind at first．But it may develop into something harmful，（有害的）．Monkey﹣pox doesn't look a major infectious disease．But it is not．impossible to pass the disease from person to person．29．We learn from Paragraph l that the pet

diseasesC．should not be allowed to have petsD．should stop buying pets from Africa．33．（6分）It's not easy being a teenager（13至19岁青少年）﹣nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager．You can make your child feel angry，hurt or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself．It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you'11still be there for him when he needs you．Expect a lot from your child，just not everything．Except for health and safety problems，such as drug use or careless driving，consider everything else open to discussion．If your child is unwilling to discuss something，don't insist he tell you what's on his mind．The more you insist，the more likely that he'll clam up．Instead，let him attempt to solve（解决）things by himself．At the same time，remind him that you're always there for him should he seek advice or help．Show respect for your teenager's privacy（隐私）．Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations．Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family．If your child talks on the family's telephone for too long，tell him he can talk for l5minutes，but then he must stay off the phone for at least all equal period of time．This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls，but teaches your teenager moderation（节制）．Or if you are open to the idea，allow your

hitting someone﹣don't solvemuch．But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better．Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed：（1）Get support．When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives．（37）They might have had similar problems，such as
