BEAVERTON，Ore.—Jaim ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Nared is nearly 6 foot 1 and blessed with Michael Jordan style skills.In games，the 12 year old can more than hold her own against the boys，dropping three pointers and sometimes scoring 30 points or more.
And there，according to her coach，lies the problem.
She’s so good，Michae ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )l Abraham said；she makes the boys look like scrubs(灌木丛)．So she has been told she can no longer play on boys teams at The Hoop，a private Beaverton basketball facility that runs a league in which Abraham’s teams compete.
The trouble started la ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st month，when some parents told The Hoop management they didn’t like Jaime playing with the boys.Hoop officials notified Abraham that Jaime，after years on one of his boys teams，was barred.Neal Franzer，The Hoop’s director of operations，said on Thursday that parents were “adamant(固执的)” that their complaints have nothing to do with Jaime’s skills.
“They said the pro ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )blem was the boys were playing differently against her because she was a girl，” he said.“They’d been taught to not push a girl，and the focus had shifted from playing basketball to noticing a girl was on the floor with them.”
Hoop officials e ma ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iled Abraham to remind him of the rules.Abraham，Jaime and her parents don’t buy it.“I think the complaints come from parents who don’t like seeing a girl that is good playing against their sons，” Abraham said.
Jaime，who said she “ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fell in love” with basketball when she was 8，likes the boys team because boys play a fast paced game.
Jaime’s mom，Reiko ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Williams，said the issue boiled over after a particular game.“She scored 30 points，” Williams said.“I remember one play.She stole the ball and made a behind the back pass to a teammate.He missed the lay in，and she grabbed the rebound and put it in.I think it was just too much for some of those parents.”
1．Michael Abraham is________.
A．Jaime Nared’s coach
B．Jaime Nared’s father
C．Jaime Nared’s teammate
D．The Hoop’s director of operations
2．Jaime Nared’s problem lies in that________.
A．she can’t keep pace with the boys
B．she takes advantage of the boys
C．she plays even better than her boy teammates
D．she doesn’t obey the rules of basketball
3．How did the boys feel when playing against Jaime Nared 21教育网
A．Proud. B．Angry.
C．Interested. D．Ashamed.
4．The parents want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed Jaime Nared barred from boys’teams because________.
A．Jaime Nared had better skills than the boys
B．Jaime Nared was too rude on the court
C．the boys can’t get focused on playing with her
D．the boys didn’t like to play with a girl
5．We can learn from the passage that________.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Why can some people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sleep through noises like a honking car or flushing toilet，while others are awakened by the lightest sound
To find the answ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er，sleep researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital conducted an unusual study of 12 self described deep sleepers.After tests confirmed that the healthy volunteers were solid sleepers，they took part in a three night study in the university’s sleep laboratory.The participants spent the night in a big and comfortable room.But the room also included four speakers positioned near the top of the bed.
During the night，t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he deep sleepers were subjected to 14 different recorded sounds，like street traffic，toilets flushing，and an airplane flying overhead.Next door，the researchers monitored their sleep patterns and brain waves.
As expected，a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll of the participants slept relatively well，but there were differences in how they responded to the noisy interruptions.Some of the sleepers didn’t wake up even when a sound was blasted at 70 decibels (分贝)；others were awakened by sounds at 40 or 50 decibels.
The researchers discov ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ered that the difference in a sleeper’s reaction to noise could be predicted by the level of brain activity called “sleep spindles(纺锤体)”．A sleep spindle is a burst of high frequency brain activity coming from deep inside the brain during sleep.The source of the spindles is the thalamus(丘脑)，a part of the brain that sends sensory information to the rest of the cortex(皮层)．
Before the study，th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Massachusetts researchers theorized that the spindles are the brain’s way of preventing sensory information from passing through the thalamus and waking the rest of the brain during sleep.They found that sleepers who experienced the most sleep spindles during the night were also the soundest sleepers and were least likely to be awakened by noise.
Scientists already kn ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ow that most people become lighter sleepers with age，most likely because older people experience less “slow wave sleep”，which is the deepest stage of sleep.People also produce fewer sleep spindles as they age.But even when controlling for the stage of sleep a person was in，the number of sleep spindles still predicted their risk for awakening because of noise.
More research is neede ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d，but the findings suggest that a better understanding of sleep spindles could lead to new behavioral or drug therapies for people with sleep disorders.For example，future studies may try to determine whether diet，exercise or other behaviors may influence the number of sleep spindles a person produces during the night.21教育网
1．Some participants ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) can sleep well through loud noises mainly because ________.
A．their brains don’t respond to outside noises
B．their brains react differently to noises
C．they adapt to the environment quickly
D．they don’t pay attention to the monitors
2．Scientists ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) believe that the key to affecting deep sleep is ________.21·cn·jy·com
A．sleep spindles B．stages of sleep
C．sleep disorders D．sensory information
3．It can be learned from the passage that ________.2·1·c·n·j·y
A．The older a deep sleeper becomes，the lighter his sleep must be.
B．The more “slow wa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve sleep” one experiences，the deeper sleep one has.
C．The more fre ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )quently a sleeper’s brain works，the less information it sends.
D．The deeper ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) sleep people have，the more likely they will be awakened by noise.
4．From the passage we can predict that________.
A．more factors in influencing sleep spindles may be discovered
B．more solid sleepers will take part in relative experiments【版权所有：21教育】
C．sleep spindles will be applied to change one’s behaviors
D．deep sleepers will probably enjoy a more healthy life

Leymah Gbowee，ev ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er awarded the Nobel Peace Prize，dreamed of peace and made it happen，founding a movement of women who brought peace and a female president to Liberia.
On the night of her h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )igh school graduation party，surrounded by family，neighbors，and friends，Leymah Gbowee imagined a bright future.She planned to study biology and chemistry in college and become a pediatrician.Instead，Gbowee writes in her autobiography，Mighty Be Our Powers，within six months of that party in 1989，everything around her was gone—her country torn apart by civil war，her family broken，her plans abandoned.And Gbowee never became a doctor.Gbowee saw civilians murdered before her eyes.She fled with relatives from one shelter to another，often went hungry.Upon returning to Liberia in 1991，she saw a terrible sight：Everyone had fled，leaving their homes to the fighters.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Yet her spirit w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ouldn’t die.She began studying under a UNICEF program.Finally，with her family’s help，she imagined a movement of women demanding peace in Liberia and made it happen.Traveling from village to village，Gbowee began organizing women and persuaded women of different cultures to unite；under her leadership，thousands of women were dressed all in white to symbolize peace.Gbowee writes，“We were silent before，but after so many of us have been killed，fallen with diseases，and lost our children and families，war has taught us that the future lies in saying no to violence and yes to peace！”【版权所有：21教育】
The women had ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reason to fear，but Gbowee had no choice.Then women could register to vote.Ellen Johnson Sirleaf became Africa’s first female president in 2005.Gbowee’s work was just beginning.She now travels the world，meeting with everyone from presidents to CEOs to people living in tiny villages，fighting for women and girls.21教育名师原创作品

Visiting the Moon
During his term ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) in office，President Kennedy gave full funding to NASA—the space agency.He did this because he wanted to see Americans land on the moon.In July 1969 three men fulfilled Kennedy’s dream during the Apollo 11 mission.Thousands of people had worked for years in order to send them to the moon.There had been 10 prior Apollo missions.One had failed，but the others were successful.Finally it was time to try a moon landing.21世纪教育网版权所有
Their spacecraf ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )t took off from NASA in Houston，Texas.A Saturn 5 rocket carried the astronauts and their spacecraft into orbit.They blasted through space at speeds as fast as 25,000 miles per hour(40,234 kph)．Even at that incredible speed，it took four days to reach the moon.The men had a special craft designed only for landing on the moon.This lunar module was called The Eagle.【出处：21教育名师】
After The Eagle landed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )，Neil Armstrong stepped out onto the moon.People all over the world watched on their television sets as he said，“That’s one small step for man，one giant leap for mankind.”Buzz Aldrin followed Armstrong onto the moon’s surface，but Michael Collins stayed circling the moon in the main spacecraft.He had to make sure that nothing happened to the spacecraft that would take them home.

As a child，Marie C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urie amazed people with her great memory.She learned to read when she was only four years old.Her father was a professor of science and the instruments that he kept in a glass case fascinated Marie.She dreamed of becoming a scientist，but that would not be easy.Her family became very poor，and at the age of 18，Marie became a governess.She helped pay for her sister to study in Paris.Later，her sister helped Marie with her education.In 1891，Marie attended the Sorbonne University in Paris where she met and married Pierre Curie，a well known physicist.

It is not easy to beco ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me a naturopathic doctor since it requires four years of medical education at postgraduate level medical schools.A naturopathic doctor has to pass exams to get a doctor’s license to practice and receive additional education to provide herbal medicine and other treatment such as acupuncture for patients.Naturopathic doctors can have their own stores to provide herbal and Chinese medicines to the patients.

_US_populati ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on.Herbal products are complex mixtures of organic chemicals that may come from any raw or processed part of a plant，including leaves，stems，flowers，roots，and seeds.However，under the current US law，herbs are defined as dietary supplements，and producers can therefore produce，sell，and market herbs without first demonstrating safety and efficiency，as is required for drugs.www-2-1-cnjy-com
Most prescription dru ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )gs(处方药) are from chemicals and have side effects.When people are turning to green energy to save the earth，more Americans like to try a more natural way to treat diseases，and herbal and Chinese medicines are their choices. 21*cnjy*com

There are man ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y things people do with their spare time.Have you ever thought about tuning(调音) your own piano for fun and profit？Are you a piano teacher or player who really does not want the expense of hiring a piano tuner and feels that you could do it yourself with a little training？Well，this is your lucky day.All you need are the right tools，a piano and patience.
So，why would ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )I want to tune my piano？There are many reasons for tuning your own piano.
It is a very pleasant thing to do.
You can make up to $80 each time tuning other people’s pianos.
There are m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )illions of pianos in the world and thousands of new ones are being sold every day.There are not enough piano tuners available to tune them all.
You can provide a valuable service for friends，family and others.
You can tea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ch yourself very cheaply and then develop it into a part time or full time business.
You may have thought t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hat only a trained expert could do this，someone who had devoted years of study and developed a sense of perfect pitch(音高)．In the past，tuning a piano was as much an art form as it was a technology exercise，but now the balance is swaying(摇动) more towards the technology and the final result is as good or even better than tuning by ear.
A few simple tools ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) and a laptop computer with tuning software are all that are required.The real secret is the tuning software，which makes the whole process extremely easy.It means you do not have to train your ears but just look at the laptop screen to know when the piano string is in tune.
I have put togethe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r an e book in my website with all the information you need to get started tuning your own piano，where to get the free software and where to buy the tools.
I hope I have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) inspired you to think about piano tuning and actually give it a go.You will find it a very rewarding and pleasant activity even if it remains just a hobby.

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
On Sundays my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) father always wore that dull gray apron(围裙)．The ritual began after breakfast when Dad always announced，“Go ahead everyone.I’ll take care of the dishes！” Off came the suit coat he had worn to church that morning.Up went the shirtsleeves.On went that apron.For the next hour Dad did the dishes，singing songs like “Who Put the Chow in Mrs.Murphy’s Chowder？”
I suppose it was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) strange for a boy’s father to wear an apron but I never thought much of it until the day that Dad broke with tradition.It was the last Sunday in August.
“Tommy，” he said letti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng my name roll off his tongue.My mind raced ahead of his words：A new bike？A part time job
“There comes a ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me in every boy’s life when he must take on responsibilities.”
“Responsibilities？” I asked.
“Yes.It’s time you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) took a greater role in the household.” Power tools？Boss my baby brother
“Starting today，I want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so your mother and I can work the crossword puzzle together.”
“The dishes！？”
“Anything wrong with taking over the dishes，son？”
Ask me to run thr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ough a mand me to ride the roller coaster—backward.These things I would do.But I could never do those dishes.There was nothing left but to refuse.
People often say t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )here is a special chemistry between a father and a son.He came back into the kitchen just as I was about to storm out.In his right hand was the old apron.
“I want you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to have this，Tommy.It’ll keep your clothes from getting wet.” And before I could mount a protest，he had put the thing on me.“Thanks，Son.Your mother and I appreciate this.”【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
With that he di ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sappeared into the Sunday paper.Soon I was singing about Mrs.Murphy’s chowder.The words came out of nowhere.And out of nowhere I knew the kind of man I wanted to be.

A boy，who us ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed to think housework was an adult’s job，was asked to wash dishes.Though surprised and unwilling to do so at first，he finally realized he，too，should take on responsibility in the household.
Nowadays，quite a lot o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )f children take it for granted that their parents do all the chores at home.They are either busy playing games or doing their schoolwork but seldom wash dishes or do the cleaning.
It is，of course，not ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )right for children not to take on any responsibility in the household.As a family member，a child should help with the housework so that their parents can relax themselves after a long day’s work.If a child takes his role in the housework，he will become sympathetic and considerate and would like to help others.I used to be rather lazy，not participating in any housework and did not understand my parents’ hardship until one day I helped clean the house.From then on，I find it a pleasure to help others and I am proud to say I have grown to be a person who can take on responsibilities both at home and at school.

Why should mankin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d explore space？Why should money，time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits？Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth？These are questions that，understandably，are very often asked.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
Perhaps the best answe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings.What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains，and on into all possible areas and environments？The wider the spread of a species，the better its chance of survival.Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.
Nearly every ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )successful civilization has explored，because by doing so，any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for.Without knowledge，we may be completely destroyed by the danger.With knowledge，we can lessen its effects.【出处：21教育名师】
Exploration also al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )lows minerals and other potential(潜在的) resources to be found.Even if we have no immediate need of them，they will perhaps be useful later.Resources may be more than physical possessions.Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration.The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives.We have already benefited from other spin offs including improvements in earthquake prediction，in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems.Even non stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by products(副产品) of technological developments in the space industry!
While many re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sources are spent on what seems a small return，the exploration of space allows creative，brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us.While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works，it also holds dangers.The danger exists，but knowledge can help human beings to survive.Without the ability to reach out across space，the chance to save ourselves might not exist.
While Earth is th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e only planet known to support life，surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets.It is true that the lifestyle would be different，but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.21cnjy.com

for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 【版权所有：21教育】
1859.After his return，he started researching into bombs.As is 21教育名师原创作品
known，bomb is dangerou ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s to life，but Nobel was working under that condition.Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths.After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake.He received criticism and satire(讽刺)，but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart.From 1860s to 1880s，Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels.Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled.Even at the end of the 20th century，we still used his methods.
Nobel had many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )patents in Britain and other European countries.He was quick to see industrial openings(机会) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries.Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main conc ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries.Seldom happy，he was always searching for a meaning to life，and from his youth，he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy.His greatest wish，however，was to see an end to wars，and thus peace between nations，and he spent much time and money working for this cause.To follow his will，a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics，chemistry，physiology(生理学)，medicine，literature and peace.That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
6．Through his early experimental work，it is evident that________.
A．Nobel was a man of strong will
B．Nobel was a man of gift
C．Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D．Nobel had his heart in his work
7．In fact，his inventions were first used in________.
A．a war to kill and injure his fellow men
B．building roads
C．digging tunnels
D．both B and C
8．Nobel also had much financial sense because________.21cnjy.com
A．he had a very strong desire for money
B．he cared about nothing but making profits
C．he managed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )money matter well，making the best use of chances for making profits
D．he invented bombs in order to make money
9．Based on the passage，Nobel，as a scientist，________.
A．took a single interest in science
B．took a serious interest in money
C．took no interest in literature
D．took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
10．Which of t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he following statements is TRUE according to the passage
A．His wonderful wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B．In leaving behind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a well meant will，Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C．Nobel made a gl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D．Nobel expressed ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

One of the world’s ri ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )chest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions：visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’ charitable organization，the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation，is looking for inventors to design the toilet of the future，which，they hope，would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.【出处：21教育名师】
So，what’s wrong with ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the traditional flush toilet(抽水马桶)？Firstly，it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world，where，according to the United Nations’ estimates，unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea(腹泻) are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Secondly，standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.【版权所有：21教育】
The challenge set b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine(户外厕所) which works without running water，electricity or a septic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents(0.3 RMB)．
28 designs were displ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle，USA.Among them was one which turned poo(粪) into electricity using microwaves，another which converted poo into charcoal，and yet another which used urine(尿) for flushing.
But the winner ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )was a solar powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology picked up a prize of $100,000，almost 650,000 RMB.
Clearly Bill Gat ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said，“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million (2.2 billion RMB) more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
1．Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets
A．He is concerned about energy saving.
B．He is concerned about people’s health benefits.
C．He wants to earn a profit from the invention.
D．He just wants to raise people’s awareness of invention.
2．One problem with the traditional toilet is that________.
A．it consumes a considerable quantity of drinking water
B．it is not fit to use in most areas
C．it threatens people’s health，especially the adults’
D．it takes a lot of money
3．Which of the followi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng statements about Bill Gates’ ideal toilet is TRUE
A．It should work with little running water.
B．It should not depend on electricity.
C．It should be equipped with a septic tank.
D．It needs no money to operate properly.
4．Which design won the competition
A．The one turning poo into electricity.
B．The one using urine for flushing.
C．The one converting poo into charcoal.
D．The one using solar power.
5．What can we infer from the passage
A．Bill Gates is wasting money on the project.
B．Bill Gates’ standards are too high.
C．There will be more designs next year.
D．Bill Gates is satisfied with the progress of the project.21世纪教育网版权所有

Blogging has becom ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e increasingly popular among middle school students.Some view it as a great way to share ideas and motivate students，while others fear it will interfere with students’ study.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
There are arguments b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )oth for and against student blogging.On the negative side，if students blog too frequently it may interfere with their study.And if they are completely unsupervised，some inappropriate topics may be discussed.On the other hand，blogging allows students the chance to write about the things that are most important to them.Because they are interested in those topics，they will be more motivated to write，thus practicing their skills.It will also give the blog readers the chance to practice their reading skills，too.Furthermore，blog based discussions will help to develop students’ ability to think independently and communicate with others.For these reasons，I am generally a big supporter of student blogging.Of course，there have to be some limits such as parents monitoring their children to make sure they don’t spend too much time on it and the subjects discussed are suitable.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
