I’d just finished some shopping, and was getting ready to leave the supermarket’s parking lot, when I heard music coming from the area of the shopping carts (手推车). I knew it was someone I knew, well — the beggar, I couldn’t really call him.
He never begged. It was more like he was open to accepting presents. He never had a sign out, never spoke and never looked at you to beg. He would just sit quietly on the side of

the entrance, out of the way, have a little box outside, and thank everyone very politely who gave him something.
He didn’t look like the many people I knew in my town who lived on the streets. His clothes always looked quite clean. I often wondered how he’d gotten to live on the streets. And he was playing his guitar, just like the last time I’d seen him in summer. He hadn’t noticed me then, being so deep into his music.
I started to talk to him. He told me that he had been an epileptic(癫痫患者) as a child and as a young man now, he couldn’t even get the job the social services try to offer people like him — everybody seemed afraid of the responsibility, even though he’d had no seizure (发作) for the past 13 years.
I started feeling sorry for him, but then he said, “I’ve made my peace with that. I’m happy I got an apartment.” He said he’d gotten so much help, and he wanted to try to give back, starting with the music.
I was so happy that he remembered his love for music, and shared his music with the people passing by. I was glad he found an apartment, and had the inner strength not to let himself down, and as he said, “found my faith again”.

A. Doubtful. B. Grateful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed.

The San Diego Splash senior women’s basketball team plays three-on-three in 30-minute half-court games — looking at the score-board and it doesn’t take long to realize
高一(上)英语期中试卷 第 11 页 共 11页
that there’s nothing “senior” about these athletes.
The Splash may be the oldest team under the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association (players must be 80 or over to join), but its members play to win and have won two championships (冠军称号) at the National Senior Games. Nine women are on the record, including Meg Skinner and Grace Larson — both of whom are 91.
Born in the 1920s and 1930s, Larson and the rest of her teammates are making up for the lost time and missed chances. “I was 80 when I got my first basketball shoes, and I was excited,” Larson said. Players in the Splash didn’t just wake up on their 80th birthdays and decide to join the team, and many of them have been playing basketball for many years, both as players in the San Diego Senior Women’s Basketball Association and other organizations.
Since it’s medically proved that seniors’ sports can lead to a longer and livelier life, it comes as no surprise that many Splash players have lived longer. “A lot of my childhood friends thought I was crazy to play basketball at 66,” explained 87-year-old Marge Carl. “They thought I’ll break an arm or a leg, but I’m the only one surviving of my childhood friends. They’re all gone, every one of them.”
“Seniors have to join us,” Carl told a San Diego newspaper. “They can’t sit in a room watching TV. That’s a death warning.” With over 6 million views, the videos about the Splash are very popular. “A friendship, a sisterhood, a family” is how Larson describes her team —“It’s the nicest group of people from all walks of life.”
27. What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
A. The athletes are not as experienced as they look.
B. The athletes can’t wait to have another game.
C. The athletes play as well as young players.
D. The athletes are actually very young.
28. What do we know about the Splash?
A. It is the oldest team in the world.
B. It has won two games in the finals.
C. The players must be less than 80.
D. Members don’t have basketball experience.

29. What will probably happen if senior people play basketball?
A. They will live a healthier life.
B. They will be very excited every day.
C. They are sure to break arms and legs.
D. They will live longer than anyone else.
30. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Age is just a number
B. Everyone should do more exercise
C. Playing basketball makes us healthy
D. Old people should be taken good care of

If you’ve ever tried to have a regular movie night with your family, you know that choosing a movie everyone will like can be a difficult task. The kids may be interested in the latest cartoons, while Mom would prefer a love story, and Dad has his eye on something on war. 31 Just when it seems like most are happy with the selection, one member of the family may disagree, and then the whole process starts all over again.
In these situations, you can try the “pick system ”, which works well for some families. The pick system is surprisingly simple and useful. It works like this: each member of the family gets one pick. 32 The only rule is that, if it isn’t your pick, you must sit through the movie that is showing, without expressing strong dissatisfaction. 33 And you know that the rest of the family will have to watch it with you.
34 However, it is a proven method that avoids all the arguing (争论). If you have kids, it’ll teach them a lesson in consideration and patience. Using the pick system, you’ll find that your kids will start choosing movies that they think will be crowd-pleasers. The reason why this happens is very simple. Imagine it’s your pick, and you choose a movie everyone in the family ends up loving. 35 These words of praise are powerful positive reinforcements (强化) — it feels great when the people we love tell us that we did a good job.
A. The system may sound a bit silly.

F. When it’s your pick, you have the right to choose whatever movie you want.

Why You Should Never Cross Your Legs
Crossing your legs is an extremely common habit; most people don’t even notice that they’re doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.
A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood pressure. The reason this happens is because the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart, crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate(循环). This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood back to the heart.
Crossing your legs can also lead to neck and back pain. Ideally, it's best for our bodies to sit with our feet planted flat, hip width apart, on the floor, but it's not easy to maintain perfect posture all day at the office. When you sit with your legs crossed your hips are in a twisted position, which can cause one of your pelvic (骨盆的) bones to move. Since your pelvic bone supports your back and neck: this can cause pressure on your lower and middle back and neck.
Leg crossing has long been linked to manners. In some countries and cultures leg crossing is looked on as casual, disrespectful, and altogether lower class. For the same reasons, many religions frown upon leg crossing in church. And what's good for the soul
高一(上)英语期中试卷 第 11 页 共 11页
should be good for the feet as well. But respect aside, your health is affected in the long run if you are accustomed to crossing legs although you might not feel its immediate effects. The problem is really caused by siting in the first place. Don't make yourself comfortable--- get up and get moving.
