Sports in America take various forms: organized competitive struggles, athletic games, hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport

more than 75 years ago. It's not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players as well on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country.

Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. And the famous NBA games are considered the best of this game.

Other sports attracting a great many people include wrestling, boxing and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the exactness of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do not come primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing. 16. Baseball is so popular in America that some professional teams play it until . A. spring B. summer C. fall D. winter

17. When playing football, American players are dressed in a special uniforms . A. to avoid unexpected injuries

B. to play it like European football C. to make the game rough enough D. to look like professional players

18. Many Americans prefer basketball to football because . A. NBA games are very popular B. it is originated in the US

C. it is much faster than football

D. it is played indoors throughout the winter

19. Horse-racing fans can’t be exactly considered as sportsmen because they .

A. mainly stand and watch the races B. don’t ride horse in the races C. are only interested in the results D. don’t care who wins in the races 20. The underlined word “jockeys” in the last paragraph refers to .

A. the person who bets upon the race

B. the person who cares about horse-racing C. the rider who enjoys watching the race D. the rider who competes in horse-racing

B

Sports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.

The shoes named Square Eyes contain an electronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day. A wireless transmitter passes the information to a receiver connected to a television, and this decides how much evening TV viewing time the wearer deserves, based on the day’s efforts.

The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among British teenagers, says Gillian Swan, who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London, UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out,” she says.“And I wanted to tackle that with my design.”

Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.

Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So, every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.

Existing pedometers（计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan

says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat. “It is possible, but it would be a lot of effort,” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”

21. According to Swan, the purpose of her design project is to .

A. keep a record of the steps of the wearer D. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood Overweight

C

A. They regulate a child’s evening TV viewing time.

B. They determine a child’s daily pocket money.

C. They have raised the hot issue of overweight.

D. They contain information of the receiver. 23. What is stressed by health experts in their suggestion?

A. The exact number of steps to be taken. B. The precise number of hours spent on TV. C. The proper amount of daily exercise and TV time.

D. The way of changing steps into TV watching time.

24. Compared with other similar products, the new design ______.

A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheat

B. counts the wearer’s steps through shaking C. records the sudden movement of the wearer D. sends teenagers’ health date to the receiver

25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television Time B. Smart Shoes Guarantee More Exercise C. Smart Shoes Measure Time of Exercise

Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for first Olympics, yesterday recalled（回忆）her time with Gould five years ago.

“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.”

Next time, things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nations, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly. 26.

Paula Radcliffe, chasing（角逐）a third London marathon title（冠军）, says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said, “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism（批评）.”

“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McCulgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I’m sure she would have chasing world records.

However, Radcliffe has not ruled out（排除）in the future chasing her “final” world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

“I don’t think that—although I can’t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”

Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.

Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.

C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.

B. Well begun is half done. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Where there is a will there is a way. Ⅲ. 阅读表达 阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求答题。（注意题后的词数） People today, in all this new world of technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, though I own my best friend Jenny, I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends are. Friends don't have to be exactly the same。They have similarities but . The key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other’s faults, because you can’t ever judge your friend. Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Because if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isn't being true and is trying a little too hard. You have to be comfortable together. Otherwise, you just aren’t going to click. If you feel uneasy around the person then something isn’t quite right. Friends love unconditionally. They have their little angry moments but what’s done is remember, friends are forever. But only if you keep it that way. Don't disrespect your friends, love them instead. 36.

答案与解析

1. B retired“退休的”。句意为“汤姆的父亲是一名退休教师”。

2. B together with连接两个并列成分时，谓语动词的数跟前面的主语一致。此处时间状语从句中从句用一般过去时，故主句应用过去进行时。

3. C It is„that„为强调句，而且被强调部分the village被一个由where引导的定语从句修饰。 4. D 答句意为“飞机的机翼比机身要长两倍。”此题考查倍数的表达法：倍数+比较级+that„。 5. A each time在此作连词，引导时间状语从句。

6. C It is no wonder„意为“难怪„„”。There is no point doing„意为“做„„没用”；There is no need to do„意为“做„„没必要”；It is no way to do„意为“做„„没门” 。 7. A as表示“正如”，引导定语从句，指代整个句子的内容，可以放在句首。 8. C 本题考查的是状语从句的省略。从句省略了they are。

9. A 本题考查time短语的用法。后句用了倒装。at no time“决不”，符合句意，放在句首时要倒装。 10. C 考查“with+宾语+宾补”结构。句意为“由于他的儿子令人失望，老人感到不开心”。用形容词disappointing作宾补。

11. C 本题考查了It is no wonder that„句型，表示“难怪„„”。hardly any相当于no。 12. B 注意分析句子结构，feel后是宾语从句，宾语从句中又有一个强调句，强调主语，谓语的数应该与Mr Smith一致。be to blame表达“（某人）应受责备”之意，是用主动形式表示被动意义。

13. A 本题考查强调句的特殊疑问句。what作say的宾语。

14. D unless“除非”； although“尽管”；if“如果”；whenever“无论何时”。句意为“众所周知，除非你有规律地进行锻炼，否则你不会保持身体健康”。 15. C 句意为“这座古塔必须拯救，不管代价有多大”。whatever引导让步状语从句。whatever the cost is中is已经省略，从句中whatever作is的表语。

16. C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.”可知一年中棒球一直流行到秋天（fall）。

17. A 推理判断题。由文章第三段中的“In American football there are 11 players as well on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.”可推知，运动员穿着特殊服装是为了避免意外伤害。

18. D 细节理解题。由文章第四段中的“„many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.”可知，比起足球来，美国人更喜欢篮球，那是因为整个冬季都可以在室内打篮球。注意原句中并未说much faster（快得多），所以不选C。

19. B 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中的“Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the exactness of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.”表明：只有骑马比赛的人才能被看作赛手，赛马迷们没有骑马比赛，自然不能被看作赛手。athlete“运动员”，相当于sportsman。 20. D 词义猜测题。由该词后的限定成分“who ride the horses in the races”可知，“jockeys”表示“骑马比赛的人”。

21. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out.”可以推断出这个设计是为了解决孩子肥胖的问题。

22. A 推理判断题。根据第四段“Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise, the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.”可知这种鞋利用走路的步数来控制孩子看电视的时间。 23. C 归纳总结题。根据第五段中“Health experts suggest that a child take 12,000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television.”可知健康专家给出了每天合适的运动量和看电视的时间。 24. A 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teenagers to cheat.”可知类似产品可以用晃动来作弊，但是她设计的鞋使得懒惰的青少年很难作弊。 25. A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了一款智能运动鞋，利用孩子们每天的走路步数，来决定看电视的时间，起到控制体重的作用。

26. D 主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述了两位游泳运动员之间的友谊和竞争。 27. D 细节题解题。第二段“Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.”说明她们两人将参加同一项赛事。

28. A 数字计算题。根据第三段的内容可以知道，Gould现年47岁，她在32年前，即她15岁时，获得了三枚奥运会金牌。

29. C 词义推断题。根据第五段的内容“It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”可以推断it指代的是the friendship。

30. B 归纳总结题。根据Schipper所说的话可以看出她从Gould那儿学到了很多东西。 31. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said,‘Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.’”可知，Radcliffe在雅典奥运会上的失利使她变得能冷静地面对批评。

32. B 细节判断题。根据第七段的内容“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”可知，在纽约的那场马拉松比赛她还没有完全恢复过来。

33. C 句意理解题。根据第八段中“„marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.”和第九段中“That changes from person to person.”可以猜测出她说这句话的意思是她不能肯定一位马拉松选手在职业生涯中能创造多少次世界纪录。

34. C 细节推断题。根据第一段中“chasing a third London marathon title”可以推断，她已两次在伦敦马拉松比赛上获得冠军。

35. D 主旨大意题。这篇短文讲述了Radcliffe参加马拉松比赛的故事。她虽然在奥运会上失利，但是她仍然顽强拼搏着，她的行为说明“有志者事竟成”。 36. True Friends/Friendship/What Is Friendship 37. they also have their differences

38. ①Accept differences ②Argue ③Love unconditionally ④Believe in love at first sight（写出任意三项即可） One possible version:

If you want to ask me which player I like best, I will tell you it is Deng Yaping. Although she hasn’t played the game for many years, we still cannot forget her excellent work.

Now she has become a Chief Executive Officer, and I believe she will be successful in her new area. I will learn from her, study hard and make more progress!
