3、he second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, and army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiationsbetween the Rockets and NBA representatives,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to
4、play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou. Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The 20-year-olds NBA dreams might be harder to realize. Yao is the
5、center of the Sharks and the clubs manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasnt been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Sharks front office earlier told members of the
6、 press that “it is not proper for Yao to attend the draft this year because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of th
7、em.

11、75 percent of kids between five and 17 say that although they love technology, they still want to read books.“The Kids & Family Reading Report also says that 62 percent of kids prefer reading printed books rather than those on a computer. At the same time, those who search an authors website or use
12、the Internet to find books by a particular author, are more likely to read books for fun every day.The study also once again proves that the time kids spend reading books for fun decreases after the age of eight and continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a study. But
13、this time the focus is on the role of technology and when kids interest in reading starts to drop.“Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequency Internet users are more likely to read books for fun every day, says Heather Carter, a
14、 writer of the report.One in four kids between five and 17 say they read books for fun every day and more than half of kids say they read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they dont read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like a re
15、quirement that parents underestimate.The study also finds that parents have a strong influence on kids reading, but only about half of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every day drops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year
16、-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds exactly the same time that kids daily reading for fun starts to drop.“Parent engagement in their childs reading from birth all the way through the teen years can have a great influence on how often their children read and how much they enjoy reading, ad
17、ds Carter. 6. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true? A. In modern society, most kids still like reading. B.

20、is plug it in and charge it up. Within a few years, some of you might do the same thing with moms car.Automobile companies are developing vehicles that will plug into electric sockets (插座), just like many laptops, digital cameras, cell phones and small video game players do. Called “plug-in hybrids
21、(混合动力汽车), these cars will get most of their power from electricity. Their drivers will rarely have to stop at gas stations. The technology is more than just cool. In our automobile-filled world, plug-in vehicles could reduce the amount of gasoline we use. That gas is made from crude oil, which has b
22、een kept rising in cost. Plus, driving around in these hybrids may even help the environment. Gas-burning cars produce a lot of carbon dioxide, a type of greenhouse gas. These gases stay in the atmosphere, where they trap heat and cause global warming.The first company-produced plug-in hybrids could
23、 hit the roads by 20l0. But engineers still have a lot of work to do to make the technology practical and inexpensive. Batteries are the biggest challenge. In the plug-in-hybrid world, Li-ion batteries are getting the most attention. These batteries can store a large amount of energy in a small pack
24、age, and they last a relatively long time between charges. Li-ion batteries are standard in laptops, cell phones, heart devices and similar portable devices. But because cars are so big and heavy, it would still require a suitcase-sized Li-ion battery to power about l2km of driving. Whats more, the
25、batteries are extremely expensive.“A car filled with batteries could go a long distance, says Ted Bohn, an electrical engineer in Chicago. “But it couldnt haul (拖拉) any people, and it would cost $l00,000. So researchers need to figure out how to make batteries smaller and cheaper, among other questi
26、ons. “The answers dont exist yet, Bohn says. “As a kid I thought someone someplace knows the answer to everything. All of these questions havent been decided. Thats what engineering is about making a guess, running tests and fine-tuning results. 9. The writer wrote this passage with the purpose of _

Diana didnt want to go to Queens, so she went home early, but Gilbert stayed. He and Anne still never spoke and everybody knew that
38、they were enemies, because they both wanted to be first in the examination. Secretly, Anne was sorry that she and Gilbert werent friends, but it was too late now.For two years, Anne studied hard at school. She enjoyed learning, and Miss Stacy was pleased with her. But she didnt study all the time. I
39、n the evenings and at weekends she visited her friends, or walked through the fields with Diana, or sat talking to Matthew. “Your Anne is a big girl now. Shes taller than you, Rachel Lynde told Marilla one day. “Youre right, Rachel! said Marilla in surprise. “And shes a very good girl now, isnt she?
40、 She doesnt get into trouble these days. Im sure she helps you a lot with the housework, Marilla.“Yes, I dont know what Id do without her, said Marilla, smiling.“And look at her! Those beautiful grey eyes, and that red-brown hair! You know, Marilla, I thought you and Matthew made a mistake when you
41、adopted her. But now I see I was wrong. Youve looked after her very well.“Well, thank you, Rachel, replied Marilla, pleased.That evening, when Matthew came into the kitchen, he saw that his sister was crying. “Whats the matter? he asked, surprised. “You havent cried since well, I cant remember when.
42、“Its just well, I was thinking about Anne, said Marilla. “IllIll miss her when she goes away.“When she goes to Queens, you mean? Yes, but she can come home at weekends, on the train.“Ill still miss her, said Marilla sadly.In June the Avonlea boys and girls had to go to Charlottetown to take their ex
43、aminations.“Oh, I do hope that Ive done well, Anne told Diana when she arrived back at Green Gables. “The examinations were very difficult. And Ive got to wait for three weeks before I know! Three weeks! Ill die!Anne wanted to do better than Gilbert. But she also wanted to do well for Matthew and Ma
44、rilla. That was very important to her. Diana was the first to hear the news, she ran into the kitchen at Green Gables and shouted, “Look, Anne! Its in Fathers newspaper! Youre first with Gilbert out of all the students on the island! Oh, how wonderful! Anne took the paper with shaking hands, and saw
45、 her name, at the top of the list of two hundred. She could not speak.“Well, now, I knew it, said Matthew with a warm smile.“Youve done well, I must say, Anne, said Marilla, who was secretly very pleased.For the next three weeks Anne and Marilla were very busy.
