II. Reading Comprehension （共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分）
Each of the following two passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Decide on the best choice.
Passage 1
With the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. Among them, tourist industry is one of the biggest industries of this kind. Providing transportation and accommodations for tourists — and guides, brochures, souvenirs — is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow.
Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture. The people who make the TV sets and build the theatres and tourist hotels are as
much a part of the leisure industry as the singers or the hotel clerks. 6. What makes leisure business important according to the passage? A. People’s leisure time is increasing.
B. More people are interested in seeing other parts of the world. C. Improved transportation and accommodation conditions.
D. Longer vacations are offered than before.

8. What do we know about entertainment from the passage? A. Entertainment is the largest leisure industry.
B. Movies, TV shows, concerts and books are usually intended for our leisure. C. People are usually reluctant to pay to watch professional sports.

A. covers all the aspects of these industries B. includes textbooks into entertainment C. is not a complete picture of leisure industry D. excludes those who work behind the scene of leisure industry 10.

in many countries.

major industries in many countries.

Passage 2
In the past 10 years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan 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 Stern 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 experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is TV. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success 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 market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout (寻找) 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 America peers. Others, such as Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming—No.1 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 (根本的) revolution—the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball. 11. According to the report, _________________________.
A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA B. the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great C. NBA offers courses to the world about playing basketball D. Paris will host the 2010 NBA games
12. The underlined phrase “take China by storm” has the meaning of ____________.
A. NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”
B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China.
C. there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings D. the NBA’s live basketball games will be broadcasted on all the television channels in China
13. What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?
A. NBA is getting more and more globalized.
B. China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA. C. Yao Ming has taken the place of Jordan.
D. NBA cannot maintain its high level of competition now
14. When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to ______________________.
A. farms in the States B. native Americans
C. the NBA training center D. the USA
15. Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
