阅读文章后，从每题所给A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
Have you noticed a change in NBA players’ dress since the new season began in November ?
All players, including Philadelphia’s Allen Iverson, put on business casual (休闲的) clothes whenever they participate in team or league activities.
Don’t be surprised. It’s not like your idol is saying goodbye to hip-hop culture.
They do so only because of the new dress code that NBA has introduced to distance the sport away from gangster chic (痞子气的时髦).
The rules ban baggy jeans, sneakers (运动鞋) and bling bling (oversized) gold and silver jewellery on many occasions including when players arrive and leave games and make promotional (宣传的) appearances. Jeans must be smart dress jeans.
Players will also now be required to wear a sport coat on the bench when they are not in uniform. The NBA already requires its coaches to wear sport coats, dress shirts, slacks (便装裤子) and shoes on the bench.
Suns forward Shawn Marion thinks it’s a good move：“I think it is appropriate, definitely, on the bench. I think you should be in a nice shirt and slacks.”
But others have a different view on the dress code. Denver Nuggets center Marcus Camby and Charlotte Bobcats guard Brevin Knight said that players should receive extra money to cover clothing costs. Allen Iverson has even said he would fight such a rule.
51. The new rules were made because .
A. appearances are definitely important for stars
B. hip-hop culture is contradictory to NBA’s culture
C. the players’ image (形象) has affected the sport
D. all the players used to look like gangsters
52. Allen Iverson is mentioned in the second paragraph to .
A. show that he’s against the dress code
B. draw the attention of the readers, who may be his fans
C. give us an example of a player who often breaks rules
D. suggest that he used to wear things that the dress code bans
53. The underlined word“ban”in Paragraph 5 means .
A. does not allow B. make changes to
C. give passes for D. set limits for
54. From the story we can learn that .
A. famous players like Allen Iverson lead the fashion
B. most NBA players are opposed to the new dress code
C. even some coaches find the new rule hard to accept
D. the new dress code only covers certain occasions
C
We certainly know that our universe exists, but this knowledge alone has not satisfied human’s long search for further understanding. Our curiosity has led us to question our place in this universe and even the place of the universe itself. Throughout (贯穿) time we have asked ourselves these questions: How did our universe begin? How old is our universe? How did matter come to exist? Obviously, these are not simple questions. Throughout our brief history on this planet much time and effort has been spent looking for some clue (线索). Yet, after all this energy has been used up, much of what we know is still only speculation (推测).
However, we have come a long way from the beginnings of the study of cosmology and the origins of the universe. Through the understandings of modern science, we have been able to provide firm theories for some of the answers that we once called speculation. True to the nature of science, most of these answers have only led to more interesting and complex (复杂的) questions.
It will be impossible to deal with all of the questions about the creation of everything that we know as reality in this short passage, but an attempt will be made to deal with certain basic questions of our being. It will be important to keep in mind that all of this information is often being questioned and reevaluated (再评估) in order to understand the universe more clearly. For our purposes, through an examination of what is known about the Big Bang itself and the age of the universe, we believe that we can begin to answer several of these key questions.
55. We can infer from the first paragraph that ________.
A. human beings needn’t have tried to know about the universe
B. human beings have no ability to know about the universe at all
C. Curiosity has helped human beings to know the universe well
D. It is difficult for human beings to know the universe very well
56. According to the passage, ________ helps people answer some complex questions.
A. curiosity B. science C. speculation D. history
57. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. We will find the answers to all the questions about the universe soon.
B. Much work needs to be done to know more about the universe.
C. Some of the speculations about the universe have proved true.
D. The Big Bang is a very important theory to know about the universe.

American holidays usually celebrate a patriotic(爱国的), political, or religious event of the past. Among the patriotic holidays are Labor Day, Veterans’ Day, Columbus Day, and Thanksgiving Day. Political holidays include Washington’s Birthday, Lincoln’s Birthday, and Independence Day. Many Americans think of two religious holidays --- Easter and Christmas --- as the most important celebrations of the year.
A study of patriotic holidays in the United States suggests some American values. Labor Day, celebrated on the first Monday of September, honors the hard-working people of the country. Veterans’ Day is celebrated on November 11 in memory of all men who have ever fought in defense of the country. On the second Monday of October, Americans recall Christopher Columbus. The Thanksgiving holiday recalls America’s earliest history. It is celebrated on the last Thursday of November for the first big harvest the colonists received on the new land.
Another type of American holiday, the political celebration, honors important figures or events in American history. Two highly respected presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, are honored by a single holiday. Their birthdays are celebrated on Presidents’ Day, the third Monday of February. Independence Day, popularly called the Fourth of July, recalls the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
Unlike America’s political holidays, two popular religious holidays are marked by busy preparations and long celebration. Most schools and colleges are closed for a week’s vacation in the spring at Easter, the holiday honoring the resurrection(复活) of Christ. Of all American holidays, Easter is the only one that is not held at a fixed time every year; it takes place sometime between March 22 and April 25. Christmas is a religious holiday which celebrates the birth of Christ; it occurs on December 25. Most schools close for the last two weeks of December.
