• 2．When I'm in Italy，I generally only eat Italian food．I doubt whether there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more．
     To eat well in Italy，finding the right restaurant is essential．I appreciate personality-driven restaurants，run by people keen（熱衷的） to share their love of good cooking，and places serving family recipes．Signs of a good restaurant include a low-rent location，lots of locals，and a small，handwritten menu in one language．The menu is small because they're only selling everything they're cooking；it's handwritten because it's shaped by what is fresh today in the market；and it's in one language because they mostly serve locals．
     For a fast and cheap lunch，I look for Italian food in corner delis （熟食店）：either a rosticceria，specializing in roasted meats and antipasti（開胃食物），or a hot table bar - a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables．Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts，cheeses，and other foods for a picnic．
     Italians tend to spend a long time on each course，and dinner is the evening's entertainment．For example，when you have a full-blown Italian dinner in a restaurant，you don't get out until midnight；a three-hour meal is common．Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving．When you want the bill，you'll have to ask for it．To "eat and run" is seen as a lost opportunity．
     A couple of years ago，I sat down at my favorite place in Verona，Enoteca Can Grande，with my friend and guide Franklin．We let the chef，Giuliano bring us whatever he wanted．Just after the antipasti arrived，F(xiàn)ranklin's wife phoned him and said， "Don't eat too much cheese or dessert．" Later Franklin，who was not thin，surveyed our table．Sighing，he said， "The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few．"
     "That's a pity，" I said．
     I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours．Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience．
  
  （1）What does the author want to show in Paragraph 1？

  
  A．He doesn't have many food choices in Italy．
  B．Italian food is the best all over Europe．
  C．He has a great tooth for Italian food．
  D．He doesn't like trying foreign food．
  （2）Where does the author like eating while in Italy？

  
  A．At a restaurant at a high-rent location．
  B．At a restaurant that locals visit frequently．
  C．At a place where waiters don't just speak Italian．
  D．At a place which provides various food．
  （3）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？

  
  A．Ways to eat simply and cheaply in Italy．
  B．Ways to prepare simple food in Italy．
  C．Places to have a picnic in Italy．
  D．Nice places to eat in Italy．
  （4）What do we learn about Italians at dinner in a restaurant？

  
  A．They like ordering lots of drinks．
  B．They don't consider it fun．
  C．They usually spend much time on dinner．
  D．They don't like ordering much food．

• 3．Along with soccer，basketball is a global sport.As you read this，young people somewhere in the world are happily passing，dribbling（運(yùn)球）and shooting.It's enormous fun and a joyful way to time with others.
     Basketball is a game for everyone.Unlike golf or tennis，it doesn't require great wealth or a lot of space to play.After all，not many people have a golf course-sized backyard，and tennis equipment is expensive.Basketball，by contrast，just needs a wall with a hoop and a ball.
     So after its invention by Canadian-American physical educator James Naismith in 1891，the sport took off within US citizens，who quickly became attracted to the game because it suited their circumstances.Today，127 years later，basketball remains one of the most popular sports in the US，and the National Basketball Association（NBA）has an increasing appeal for fans around the world.
     The success of basketball as global phenomenon is undoubtedly related to the way African-Americans play the game. "The basketball court reflected some of the major cultural shifts in America，such as from forbidding African-Americans to play basketball to allowing them to play in the NBA." the LIVESTRONG website noted.
     From the 1950s onwards，segregation rules，which had prohibited African-Americans from playing basketball in NBA games，were no longer used in the US.In 1950，when Earl Lloyd started to play for the Washington Capitals，things began to change.Since then，most of the greats of the game have been African-Americans，like Michael Jordan，Magic Johnson，Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.
     It's not difficult to see that there's a strong link between political liberation and basketball.Something of this is expressed in a quote from the US author John Edgar Wideman.He makes a connection between basketball and hope： "When it's played the way it's supposed to be played，basketball happens in the air；flying，floating，raised above the floor，letting the oppressed（壓制的）people of this earth imagine themselves in their dreams."
  
  （1）What advantage does basketball have over golf or tennis，according to the author？

  
  A．It can be played everywhere.
  B．It doesn't cost much.
  C．It doesn't require too much skill.
  D．It interests almost ever.
  （2）What can we learn about basketball from Paragraph 3？

  
  A．The sport was created by a PE teacher.
  B．The sport was not popular with people at first.
  C．Its rules have been changed a lot to suit new circumstances.
  D．The NBA with a history of 127 years，attracts people worldwide.
  （3）The main purpose of Paragraph 5 is to

  .
  A．explain the origin and rules of NBA games in the 1950s.
  B．prove the popularity of basketball among African-Americans.
  C．stress the success African-Americans in basketball.
  D．show bow racial integration took place in basketball.
  （4）What do John Edgar Wideman's words mean？

  
  A．Basketball is sometimes a useful tool for politicians.
  B．American people usually have a basketball dream.
  C．Basketball stands for the freedom and hopes of people.
  D．Political oppression is a serious problem in the US.

      The Sports Day was fast approaching（來臨）in the school.All the children were very excited and were practicing for the big race.Jim，one of the fast runners of the school was confident that he would win so he was not doing anything at all. "You have to work hard to come first in the race，Jim.You are not practicing at all，" said Jim's mother.
