26、 The San Diego Splash senior women’s basketball team plays three-on-three in 30-minute half-court games — looking at the score-board and it doesn’t take long to realize that there’s nothing “senior” about these athletes.
The Splash may be the oldest team under the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association (players must be 80 or over to join), but its members play to win and have won two championships (冠军称号) at the National Senior Games. Nine women are on the record, including Meg Skinner and Grace Larson — both of whom are 91.
Born in the 1920s and 1930s, Larson and the rest of her teammates are making up for the lost time and missed chances. “I was 80 when I got my first basketball shoes, and I was excited,” Larson said. Players in the Splash didn’t just wake up on their 80th birthdays and decide to join the team, and many of them have been playing basketball for many years, both as players in the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association and other organizations.
Since it’s medically proved that seniors’ sports can lead to a longer and livelier life, it comes as no surprise that many Splash players have lived longer. “A lot of my childhood friends thought I was crazy to play basketball at 66,” explained 87-year-old Marge Carl. “They thought I’ll break an arm or a leg, but I’m the only one surviving of my childhood friends. They’re all gone, every one of them.”
“Seniors have to join us,” Carl told a San Diego newspaper. “They can’t sit in a room watching TV. That’s a death warning.” With over 6 million views, the videos about the Splash are very popular. “A friendship, a sisterhood, a family” is how Larson describes her team —“It’s the nicest group of people from all walks of life.”
【1】What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. The athletes are not as experienced as they look.

D. The athletes are actually very young.
【2】What do we know about the Splash?
A. It is the oldest team in the world.
B. It has won two games in the finals.
C. The players must be less than 80.
D. Members don’t have basketball experience.
【3】What will probably happen if senior people play basketball?
A. They will live a healthier life.
B. They will be very excited every day.
C. They are sure to break arms and legs.
D. They will live longer than anyone else.
【4】What could be the best title for the text?
A. Age is just a number
B. Everyone should do more exercise
C. Playing basketball makes us healthy
D. Old people should be taken good care of
27、 British singer-song writer James Blunt shot to fame in 2005 with his single You're Beautiful and album(专辑) Back To Bedlam, and since then he remained the top of the UK singles chart.
Before James Blunt became a musician, he served in the army to fight for Queen and country. He spent four and a half years there, with six months in Kosovo as part of the peacekeeping force. Before leaving the army, Blunt had decided to achieve his dream of becoming a musician. In 2003, he was discovered by music producer Linda Perry who signed him to her Custard label. However the road to success never runs smoothly. It seemed that he would become another struggling singer trying to live from hand to mouth (勉强维持生计) when his first two singles failed to make an impact on the British charts. But everything changed when his third single You're Beautiful made it all the way to No.1 on the UK singles charts, and remained there for five weeks. The album Back to Bedlam soon followed and quickly became one of the biggest selling records of the year, remaining then continual weeks at No.1. Since then, he has sold more than three million records, making him the first British artist to top the American singles charts in nearly a decade.
Blunt, 34, a throwback (返祖者) to the 1970s softrock golden age, has been quoted by Western media as saying that he will never get used to people screaming at him in the street.
His success proves a lasting theory: You spend years chasing the right song. Then, if you're lucky, and if the song really takes off, you spend the rest of your life trying to escape it, or learning to live with it, a few years removed from You're Beautiful, he can still fill stages worldwide with fans who stay until the end.
【1】What do we learn from the passage?
A.Blunt was discovered by Linda Perry before joining the army.
B.Blunt has already become famous before joining the army.

【2】Which of the following can describe James Blunt's life as a musician before he sang the song You're Beautiful ?
A.Difficult B.Happy
C.Boring D.Smooth
【3】We can infer from the last paragraph that_________.
A.Blunt is well-known in the world for his talent.
B.Blunt's fame as a musician came easily.
C.Blunt wasn't lucky enough to win his fans' support.
D.Blunt has to face the inconvenience that his fame has caused.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A.The song You're Beautiful
B.The latest album of James Blunt
C.The success of James Blunt as a musician
D.The whole life of James Blunt
28、How to Design a Logo
A great logo is more than images and words,and a good logo tells a story about your company-who you are,what you do and what you stand for.【1】And it is why it’s important that you take the time to do it right.

Decide whether to include your company’s name into the logo.
Of course,you want to build name recognition for your business,but making the name part of your logo design may not always be a good idea.Include the name if it is reasonably distinctive but not yet a household word.Do not include the name if it is too long,and doesn’t translate well globally or lacks personality.
Be inspired by but don’t copy successful logos.
While it might be easy to create something that looks like your favorite company’s logo,it will leave an impression on consumers that you’re lazy and uninspired. Look at logos of other companies.【4】These examples give you ideas of what to do and what to avoid.
Keep it simple.
While it may be easy to try to give a lot of messages with your design,trying to do too much will ruin your logo.【5】If there are too many messages in your logo, it will be difficult for the customer to process.

29、 Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.
In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra (冻原)starts has been moving northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal (水平的)branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don’t have enough energy to make seeds.
But as Earth's climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally.Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And with all that leftover energy,these trees have started producing while spruce (白云杉)grows.
White spruce,which is a North American tree, is quite which can lot of seeds,which can move long distances in the wind.When wind-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line,they eventually can sprout(发芽)new trees.This explains how a forest can move. Of course,the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years,the whole planet has been warming.whole planet has been warming, New trees will provide shelters for some snow,keeping the sun's rays from making the white surface disappear.
The trees absorb the sun's heat. This warms the even more trees to produce seeds.That further makes forest preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree time. People worry about effects on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
【1】What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?
A.The reducing of northern tundra.
B.The strong and cold wind
C.The rising temperature.
D.The rich resources in the north.
【2】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.
B.The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.
C.New trees can bring more food and shelter to local animals.
D.New trees can make the surrounding air warmer.
【3】The passage is most probably taken from____ .
