• 2．George Nakashima always insisted that he was a simple woodworker，not an artist．Even though major museums exhibited his works and the director of the American Craft Museum called him a national treasure，Mr Nakashima rejected the label of artist．For almost fifty years he simply went on shaping wood into beautiful chairs，tables，and cabinets．
     Nakashima had a clear goal．He intended each piece of furniture he made to be as perfect as possible．Even making a box was an act of creation，because it produced an object that had never existed before．Initially Nakashima used local wood，sometimes from his own property．Later，he traveled to seek out English oak，Persian walnut，African zebra wood and Indian teak．He especially liked to find giant roots that had been dug out of the ground after a tree was taken down．Nakashima felt that making this wood into furniture was a way of allowing the tree to live again．
     Most furniture makers prefer perfect boards，but Nakashima took pleasure in using wood with interesting knots （节疤）and cracks．These irregularities gave the wood personality and showed that the tree had lived a happy life．
     He never failed to create an object that was both useful and beautiful．One early piece Nakashima designed was a three-legged chair for his small daughter，Mira，to use when she sat at the table for meals．The Mira chair became so popular that Nakashima later made both low and high versions．Another famous piece，the Conoid chair，has two legs supported by bladelike feet．Always，Nakashima's designs were precise and graceful，marked by a simplicity that revealed his love for the wood．
     As the years passed，Nakashima's reputation grew and his work received many awards．His children Mira and Kevin，now adults，joined the team of crafts - people in their father's studio．Nakashima's dream of integrating work and family had come true．
  
  （1）Which of the following best describes Nakashima？

  
  A．Generous and outgoing．
  B．Honest and simple．
  C．Capable and friendly．
  D．Creative and modest．
  （2）Why was Nakashima called a national treasure？

  
  A．His art work made trees live again．
  B．He used precious wood materials．
  C．His chairs were beautifully designed．
  D．He was devoted to making furniture．
  （3）What can we learn about Nakashima from the last two paragraphs？

  
  A．He loved his work and family．
  B．He made chairs of the same style．
  C．He sought for a simple life and art．
  D．He was lost in researching the wood．
  （4）What can be inferred about Mira and Kevin？

  
  A．They had an art studio of their own．
  B．They still lacked the ability to create art works．
  C．They had a common interest with their father．
  D．They enjoyed the same reputation with their father．

• 3．Playing tennis regularly could help keep people off death，but football，rugby and running may not help people to live longer，a study suggests．
     A study followed more than 80，000 people for an average of nine years to find out if certain sports protected them against early death．It found that people who played racket sports regularly were the least likely to die over the study period，reducing their individual risk by 47 percent compared with people who did no exercise．Swimmers also reduced their chance of death by 28 percent，aerobics （有氧运动） fans by 27 percent and cyclists by 15 percent．Yet running appeared to have no impact at all on dying early，and neither did playing football or rugby．
     Scientists say the difference may lie in the social aspect which goes alongside sports like tennis and squash （壁球），which often involve clubs and organized activities outside of the game．It means that people often have larger social net-works and tend to keep up activities into later life，both of which are proven to be good for health．
     In contrast，people who play team sports often do not move onto a new sport once their teams break up for family，or injury reasons．They become watchers rather than participants in their chosen activity．
     The researchers found that playing racket sports was associated with a 56 percent lower risk from heart death．Similarly，swimmers lowered their heart disease or stroke risk by 41 percent，and people who took part in activities like aerobics，dance or gymnastics lowered their risk by 36 percent．But again running，football and rugby had no significant impact on heart deaths．
     However，other experts argue that this study must not be misinterpreted as showing that running and football do not protect against heart disease．In this study both runners and footballers had a lower rate of death from heart disease．
  
  （1）Which sport has hardly any impact on protecting people against early death？

  
  A．Cycling．
  B．Swimming．
  C．Rugby．
  D．Tennis．
  （2）According to the study，which makes a big difference in keeping healthy？

  
  A．Playing basketball with their friends occasionally．
  B．Watching football games every day．
  C．Taking up gymnastics and joining a club．
  D．Doing running in the park every day．
  （3）What is considered more important to people's health？

  
  A．Social networks．
  B．Staying at home．
  C．Physical examinations．
  D．Setting up families．
  （4）What is the main idea of the text？

  
  A．Thousands of people participated in a 9-year research．
  B．Study finds playing tennis helps people live longer．
  C．It is wrong to say running has no impact on heart disease．
  D．There are differences between racket sports and team games．

• 9．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文．续写的词数应为150左右．
      Arthur was messy．He didn't try to make messes，but he didn't try to clean up much，either．There were always small pieces of food on the table when he was done eating．His socks never made it into the hamper（洗衣篮）．And he only picked up his toys when Mom threatened to throw them away．Most days，Mom followed Arthur around the house and cleaned up after him．She brushed the crumbs（碎屑）into her hand and threw them away after meals．She picked up his socks and made sure they got washed，dried and folded neatly before going back in the drawer．She often picked up his toys when he left them to do something else．
      One day，Mom asked Arthur to pick up his toy trains． "Not right now，" Arthur said．He was reading a comic book．The trains had been on the living room floor since the morning．"You know what，Arthur？I'm not going to ask you again．I'm done cleaning today．" And with that．Mom put her feet up on the sofa and picked up a book to read．
      At dinner time，Arthur noticed that there was a big pile of crumbs at his place at the table．Mom's spot was nice and clean．Arthur didn't like the crumbs very much．After dinner，Arthur's feet felt cold．He went to his room and opened his drawer，but the drawer was empty． "Mom，where are my socks？" Arthur called．
      "There weren't any socks in your hamper，so I didn't wash them，" Mom said．Arthur felt unhappy．Now his feet would be cold，unless he wanted to wear dirty socks from the floor．He decided to stay barefoot．
      When it was time for bed，Arthur said good night to Mom and turned to go upstairs．Arthur stepped right on his toy train in his bare feet． "Ouch!" cried Arthur． "That really hurt!"
      Paragraph 1：However，Mom was still reading and said nothing _____
      Paragraph 2： "Mom？ " said Arthur． " Tomorrow can you show me how to do the washing so I can wash my socks？"_______
