No one else knew about the extra club(高尔夫球杆) in Zach Nash's golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament(锦标赛) this summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. "Count your clubs," he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach's eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence after the win, it would not have mattered.
Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports. It is nothing unusual for soccer players to make a turtle dive(假摔) in the hope of drawing fouls(犯规).
Golf is different. In a win at all costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard.
Golf isn't a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each petitors call penalties on themselves.
Players feel the weight of history. Golf dates to at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime(消遣) for the wealthy who seemed to have strict codes for every occasion, even when it came to shooting at each other in rights.
"It was a sport for gentlemen, not laborers, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They cared about doing the right thing," said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a symbol of honor. When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open. He replied, "You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank."
So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. "But this was golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do," he said.
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs four times.
110. Zach Nash returned the medal he won in the junior tournament because .
A. he was caught cheating by a player
B. he decided to follow the rules of golf
C. he used another player's club by mistake
D. he made a mistake calculating his final score
111. Which of the following statements about golf is TRUE according to the article
A. Golf players usually do whatever it takes to win.
B. Golf referees watch each shot and call penalties.
C. Early golf players didn't care about the rules.
D. In golf honor comes before victory.
112. The underlined phrase "teeing off" in the last paragraph probably means " ".
A. getting started B. getting caught
C. leaving D. winning
113. What is the main point of the article
A. Zach's medal. B. The history of golf.
C. Honesty counts in golf. D. Golf is rich men's game.

Does Fame Drive You Crazy
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true, today's star, feeling like zoo animals, face pressures that few of us can imagine. They are at the center of much of the world's attention. Paparazzi(狗仔队) camp outside their homes, cameras ready. Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives. Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature.
According to psychologist Christina Villareal, celebrities—famous people—worry constantly about their public appearance. Eventually, they start to lose track of who they really are, seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them, not as the people they were before everyone knew their names. “Over time,” Villareal says, “they feel separated and alone.”
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages. In the 4th century B.C., painters followed Alexander the Great into battle, hoping to picture his victories for his admirers. When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century, his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans, leading him to complain(抱怨) about his lack of privacy. Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today, however, is a lot more difficult than it used to be. Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras. When they say something silly or do something ridiculous, there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their “story” alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome, why aren't all celebrities running away from it The answer is there are still ways to deal with it. Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities. They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice. Still, even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are. They are tired of being famous already.
116. It can be learned from the passage that stars today .
A. are often misunderstood by the public
B. can no longer have their privacy protected
C. spend too much on their public appearance
D. care little about how they have come into fame
117. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3
A. Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B. The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C. Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D. Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
118. What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today
A. Availability of modern media.
B. Inadequate social recognition.
C. Lack of favorable chances.
D. Huge population of fans.
119. What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity
A. Sincere. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Sympathetic.
九、短文7选5(5选5等)（共5小题；共10分）
120. Perfect condition means that the coins don't have any mark and that they look just as shiny as they did when they came off the mint(造币厂). Some people like to keep them in small plastic sleeves but these are hard to keep track of, especially if you have a lot of them. 121. A coin collecting book will keep your coins behind a plastic sheathe and thus will protect your collection. What's more, your coin collecting book will keep your coins together and the book is a great way to show your collection off to anyone who is curious.
122. However, you can most likely get coin collecting books from the Franklin Mint where the US coins are minted. There are also books sold at coin collecting shows where people love to show off their coin collections. There are in fact books for any type of coin you could ever think of. Don't worry if you only have one or two coins, and not enough to fill an entire book. A book will often give you the encouragement you need to get more coins. 123.
Coin collecting is extremely fun and it's interesting to see the differences in the various coins used as money throughout history. Even if you only have a couple of current coins circulating today, put them in a coin collecting book and keep collecting. 124. And that's how you get started. Before you know it, you'll have a collection most collectors would envy and they'll be perfectly preserved and beautifully displayed in your various books.
A. Soon, you'll have one or even several books filled up.
B. Instead, why not keep your coins in a coin collecting book
C. Some banks sell books, especially when new coins are released.
D. Sooner or later you will be richer with so many collected coins.
E. With that you can fill more books that will cover your coin collection.
F. By the way, why not go to banks to find more useful information at once
G. When collecting coins, you hope they're in as mint condition as possible.
十、补全短文（共10小题；共10分）
The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state c125. the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and 126. you have done.

In writing a letter of application, keep in 128. that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications, your 129. (成就) and your aims.
