30、graduated with a degree in economics. 2. He is the first American player in the NBA of Chinese descent (血統(tǒng)). Lin was born in the US and his family is Asian.

31、rafted (選拔). After graduating from Harvard, Lin wasnt drafted by any NBA team, which would have made him the first Ivy League alumni(校友) to be drafted since 1955.4.

36、elationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive, it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different prefer

37、ences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key points in making relationships work.It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship knowing the right thing to say, when t

38、o say it, how to say it, and accepting that some things are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work, from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friend that you do

39、not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him all the time. You and your friend come from different family backgrounds, raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and the

40、re. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise (妥協(xié)) at times are necessary.As the relationship lasts longer, you may also discover things about you and your friend that y

41、ou may not have known before.

46、of the curriculum, there are many things parents can do to encourage good study habits.56. _ Parents should decide with their children what time each day homework is to be done. While children are in the lower grades, one hour a day will probably enough. As homework and responsibilities increase, mo

47、re time will be needed. It is important that children take part in these decisions. Children need to know that they are able to make decisions about their studying. Once children and parents have decided on a schedule, they should stick to it. If there is no home work to be done on a given day, pare

48、nts can have their children use this time as quiet time to read or work on long term projects. Its important for children to get used to studying every day.57. _ Parents should offer their children a quiet, comfortable place to study in. Its a good idea that studying is done in the same place every

49、day. Parents should make sure their children have the supplies they need (for example, paper, pencils, a pencil sharpener). Sometimes childrens bedrooms are not the best place to study in. There are often lots of distractions in childrens rooms.58 _ Parents should give their children a calendar on w

50、hich to record assignments and to check them off when they are completed. Parents can also show their children how to keep their work and materials organized and how to prioritize assignments.59. _ Parents should be available to answer any questions that might come up. They should try to provide inf

51、ormation without actually doing the homework for their children.60. _ Parents cannot force their children to study. Nagging (嘮叨) and threatening dont work. Children need to know that they are responsible for doing their homework and for studying. Parents should give their children the responsibility

52、, and let them suffer the consequences if they, for example, fail to turn in an assignment. The parents role is to provide support. Remember, children must learn that they are responsible or their own learning. Parents can make the difference by giving their children the tools to do so.第II卷第三部分：寫作(共三節(jié), 滿分45分)第一節(jié) 單詞拼寫(共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分)根據(jù)下列各句句意和空白之后的漢語提示詞，在答題卡指定區(qū)域的橫線上寫
