第5组
阅读理解（A）
In the kitchen of my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen ”
My mother rep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”
Immediately I can p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.
( ) 1. Why has t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen

( ) 3. The author feels embarrassed for _________
A. blaming her mother wrongly.
B. giving her mother a lot of trouble.
C. not making good use of time as her mother did.
D. not making any breakthrough in her field.
( ) 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph

( ) 5. In the author’s mind ,her mother is____

Christopher Thomas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rock star, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone." Kody is anything but alone.
Diabetes is now the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rocks tar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )taff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rock star's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."

C. helps diabetics in his own way

阅读理解----------B
In bringing up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden aware ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
6. Eagerly watching ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the child’s acquisition of new skills, _________________.
A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
7. In the proc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess of children’s learning new skills, parents _________________.
A. should e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. should expect a lot of the children
C. should achieve a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
8 The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________________.
A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrict ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children
9. The word “precept” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________________”.
A. opinion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction
10. In terms of moral matters, parents should _____________________.
A. follow the rules themselves
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to follow hook teachings
D. always ensure the security of their children

在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰
当的度。关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循,“榜样比说教更有力”。
B 推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段开头In bringing up children，every parent watches
eagerly the chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在
父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一自然段第二句，选项C。sets up dangerous states of
worry in the child是由h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urry the child beyond his natural learning rate引起的，“迫不及待地要
求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”显然不是一
回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一自然段末句，选项取D。will
make him lose inter ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )est in learning new things是由a child is left alone too much, or without any
learning opportunities引起的。故D也不合文意。
C 推理判断题。文章第一自然段第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二句It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his
natural learning ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the
child，说明在孩子成长过程中，父母不能拔苗助长。文章第一段末句又说：On the other hand，
though，if a child i ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural
enthusiasm for li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样
不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。
C 主旨大意题。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同”。
D 词义推测题．四个选项的意思分别是：A. opinion (观点)；B. punishment(惩罚)；C.
bebaviour(行为)；D．instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents
should realize tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice
what they preach(说教)…可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同
义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。
35．A 推理判断题．根据文章第三自然段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，
关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。

Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.
“Whatever the circ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )umstances, Tuesday's ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers，”Beckie Smith said，“We're calling it The Miracle on Highway 6.”

Men have always be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieved that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
In the study, sci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.
The study's partici ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.
Though there wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.
The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.
One of the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudy's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.
"The female developm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.
The research tal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
It has been said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
A past study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
The argument fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.
16. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
A. man are smarter then women
B. man are more stupid the women
C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
D. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees

A. they are born stupid
B. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than men
C. they don’t like to take risk

In the past ten yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters（花名册） will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy（战略，策略） in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout（寻找，觅得） internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons（偶像）in-waiting. It is the ultimate（最后的，根本的） revolution — the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.

A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA

In the kitchen of my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) mother’s houses there has always been a wooden stand（木架）with a small notepad（记事本）and a hole for a pencil.
I’m looking for paper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on which to note down the name of a book I am recommending to my mother. Over forty years since my earliest memories of the kitchen pad and pencil, five houses later, the current paper and pencil look the same as they always did. Surely it can’t be the same pencil The pad is more modern, but the wooden stand is definitely the original one.
“I’m just amazed you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )still have the same stand for holding the pad and pencil after all these years.” I say to her, walking bank into the living-room with a sheet of paper and the pencil. “You still use a pencil. Can’t you afford a pen ”
My mother rep ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lies a little sharply. “It works perfectly well. I’ve always kept the stand in the kitchen. I never knew when I might want to note down an idea, and I was always in the kitchen in these days.”
Immediately I can p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icture her, hair wild, blue housecoat covered in flour, a wooden spoon in one hand, the pencil in the other, her mouth moving silently. My mother smiles and says, “One day I was cooking and watching baby Pauline, and I had a brilliant thought, but the stand was empty. One of the children must have taken the paper. So I just picked up the breadboard and wrote it all down on the back. It turned out to be a real breakthrough for solving the mathematical problem I was working on.”
This story—which ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )happened before I was born—reminds me how extraordinary my mother was, and is, as a gifted mathematician. I feel embarrassed that I complain about not having enough child-free time to work. Later, when my mother is in the bathroom, I go into her kitchen and turn over the breadboards. Sure enough, on the back of the smallest one, are some penciled marks I recognize as mathematics. Those symbols have traveled unaffected through fifty years, rooted in the soil of a cheap wooden breadboard, invisible（看不到的）exhibits at every meal.
( ) 1. Why has t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he author’s mother always kept the notepad and pencil in the kitchen

( ) 3. The author feels embarrassed for _________
A. blaming her mother wrongly.

D. not making any breakthrough in her field.
( ) 4. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A .The mother is successful in her career.
B. The family members like traveling.
C. The author had little time to play when young.
D. The marks on the breadboard have disappeared.
( ) 5. In the author’s mind ,her mother is____

Christopher Thomas ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of fe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rock star, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki’s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(论坛) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone." Kody is anything but alone.
Diabetes is now the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )main focus is his charity（慈善机构）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rocks tar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )taff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rock star's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."
( ) 1. Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas
A. He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B. He studies the leading cause of diabetes
C. He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D. He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
( ) 2. was created for _________.

C. children to amuse themselves

In bringing up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill m the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary gre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )atly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe (严格的) over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden aware ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
6. Eagerly watching ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the child’s acquisition of new skills, _________________.
A. should be avoided
B. is universal among parents
C. sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
D. will make the child lose interest in learning new things
7. In the proc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ess of children’s learning new skills, parents _________________.
A. should e ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ncourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B. should expect a lot of the children
C. should achieve a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D. should create as many learning opportunities as possible
8 The second paragraph mainly tells us that _________________.
A. parents should be strict with their children
B. parental controls reflect only the values of the community
C. parental restrict ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ions vary, and are not always for the benefit of the children alone
D. it’s parents’ and society’s duty to control the children
9. The word “precept” ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in Paragraph 3 probably means “_________________”.
A. opinion ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. punishment C. behavior D. instruction
10. In terms of moral matters, parents should _____________________.
A. follow the rules themselves
B. be aware of the huge difference between adults and children
C. forbid their children to follow hook teachings
D. always ensure the security of their children

当的度。关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循,“榜样比说教更有力”。
B 推理判断题。根据文章第一自然段开头In bringing up children，every parent watches
eagerly the chil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d's acquisition of each new skill，既然是每位父母都会这样做，那么这种做法在
父母中就是普遍的，故选B。根据文章第一自然段第二句，选项C。sets up dangerous states of

求孩子做超出其自然成长速度的事情”和“热切地观察孩子学会每一项新技能”显然不是一
回事，作者对后者没有否定之意，所以A不对。根据文章第一自然段末句，选项取D。will

natural learning ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) rate，but this can set Up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the

enthusiasm for li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe and his desire to find out new things for himself，说明对孩子太放任自流同样
不利。根据这两方面，应选C，父母对孩子的“严”与“松”之间应有一个恰当的度。
C 主旨大意题。文章第二自然段的大意是:“父母对孩子的严格程度有很大的不同”。
D 词义推测题．四个选项的意思分别是：A. opinion (观点)；B. punishment(惩罚)；C.
bebaviour(行为)；D．instruction(说教，源于instruct)。根据文章第三段第三，四句Also，parents
should realize tha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t “example is better than precept”．If they are not sincere and do not practice
what they preach(说教)…可以推测，precept应表达与example对立的意思，且与preach是同
义词，引语的意思是“榜样比说教更有力”，故选项D为最佳选项。
35．A 推理判断题．根据文章第三自然段第四句，再根据文章最后一段，可以得出结论，
关于道德教育问题，父母应该以身作则，带头遵循，(参见上一小题之解析)，故选A。

Men have always be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lieved that they are smarter than women. Now, a study has found that while this is certainly true, men also have to deal with the fact that they are also more stupid than the fairer sex.
In the study, sci ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )entists measured the IQ of 2500 brothers and sisters and they found an uneven number of men not only in the top two percent, but also in the bottom two percent.
The study's partici ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pants were tested on science, maths, English and mechanical abilities.
Though there wer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e twice as many men as women in the smartest group, there were also twice as many men among the dolts.
The aggregate scores of men and women were similar.
One of the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tudy's authors, psychology professor Timothy Bates, said that the phenomenon may be because men have always been expected to be high achievers and women have been restricted to spend more time taking care of their home.
"The female developm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ental program may be tilted more towards ensuring survival and the safety of the middle ground.," the Daily Mail quoted Professor Bates, of Edinburgh University, as saying.
The research tal ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lies with past results that men were more likely than women to receive first class University degrees or thirds and women secured the seconds.
It has been said ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that men are more ready to take risk when it comes to academics. Women have always found to be steadier in their learning.
A past study ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) has shown that women are securing more firsts and seconds, while men are continuing to receive more thirds.
The argument fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r the change is that the increase of coursework at the cost of exams favors women's steady approach.
16. The purpose of the passage is to tell us that ________.
A. man are smarter then women
B. man are more stupid the women
C. a new fact about the IQ of men and women has been found
D. men are more likely to receive first class university degrees

A. they are born stupid
B. they have to spend more time to tale care of their home than men
C. they don’t like to take risk
D. they are not expected to be high achievers
18. The underline ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d word tallies with in the eighth paragraph means________.
A. agree with B. deal with C. go against D. go with
19. It can be inferred from the passage that______.
A. Women are steadier in their learning.
B. men are more ready to take risk in everything
C. women are securing more firsts and seconds
D. women are doing much better in academy
20. Which of the fol ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lowing questions has NOT been discussed in the passage

B. Why are men more stupid than women

In the past ten yea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jor ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )dan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters（花名册） will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our exper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy（战略，策略） in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout（寻找，觅得） internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons（偶像）in-waiting. It is the ultimate（最后的，根本的） revolution — the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.
