American SportsThe United States is a sport-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms;organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators really exceeds the number playing in the game.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.Although no other game is exactly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket(板球).Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the country,and the football stadiums of same of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys(骑师）who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do not “assemble”(聚集）primarily to see the horse race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.1.Hunting and fishing are mainly favored by men,young and old,in the US.

Or they kept a water pitcher <大水罐>and a wash basin in their rooms and took care of these things there.The bathtub was a wash tub<澡盆>filled with water from the stove. If you were small enough you could sit down by drawing your knees to your chest. Otherwise, you washed yourself standing up. Often all the women and girls in the family bathedtogether. Then the men and boys did. In most families this was Saturday night because Sundays they went to church.A small number of families did have running water. But that depended on whether there was a water system where they lived and on whether they could afford the plumbing<水管设施>. Some people had bathtubs in their homes as early as 1895. But many others did not have their first bath in a bathtub until 1910 or later when they were fifteen or sixteen years old.56In the first paragraph, "took care of" means ""。

When you see a brand-name car in the street, maybe you can’t help 20 , “It’s cool.” You might think, “He’s so cool,” when you see your 21 footballer. We all enlarge the meaning of “cool”. You can use it 22 many words such as “new” or “amazing.” Here’s an interesting story we can see 23 illustrate the usage of the word: A teacher asked her students to 24 the waterfall they had visited. On one student’s paper was just the one 25 , “It’s so cool.” 26 he thought it was 27 to describe 28 he saw and felt. 29 the story also proves the shortage of words and expressions. 30 “cool,” some people have no words to express the same meaning. So it is 31 to improve our word strength to maintain some 32 . As a popular word, “cool” stands for a kind of special 33 that people can accept easily.

The Workers’ Role in ManagementTraditionally, it has been the worker’s role to work and management’s role to manage.Managers have planned and directed the firm’s operations with little thought to consulting(咨询) the labor force. Managers have rarely felt compelled(被迫) to obtain the workers’ opinions or to explain their decisions to their employees . At most, companies have provided “suggestion boxes”in which workers could place ideas for improving procedures. In recent years,however,many management specialists have been arguing that workers are more than sellers of labor--they play a vital role in the company and may be able to make significant contributions to its management. Furthermore,major company decisions greatly affect workers and their dependents. This is particularly true of plant closings, which may put thousands on the unemployment lines. School workers play a stronger role in management?Workers should have a role in management. At the very least the labor force should be informed of major policy decision . A common complaint among rank-and-fileworkers(普通工人) is the lack of information about company policies and actions.Between 1980 and 1985 about five million workers were the victims(受害者) of plantclosings and permanent layoffs(解雇)，often with no warning. At least 90 days notice ought to be given in such instance so that workers have time to adjust. Management should consult workers before closing a plant because the workers mightbe able to suggest ways of improving productivity and reducing costs and mightbe willing to make concessions(让步) that will help keep the plant operating.It school become a general practice to include workers in some managerial(管理的) decision making. There ought to be representatives(代表)of the workers on the firm’s board of directors or other major policy-making groups.If rank-and-file workers are given a voice in the planning and management of the work flow,they will help to make improvements,their morale(士气) will rise,and their productivity will increase. As a further incentive(激励) they must be given ashare in the company’s profits . This can be done through employee stock-ownership plans, bonuses(奖金),or rewards for efficiency and productivity.Finally, when a plant can no longer operate at a profit,the workers should be given the opportunity to purchase(购买) the plant and run it themselves.1.Traditional workers showed no interest in management.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.“Suggestion box”is one of the many ways for workers to engage in management.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Since policy decisions are business secrets of a firm,workers should not be informed of them.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.Before closing,a plant should put up a notice and keep it for 90 days.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Givenpanies should tell their major policy decisions to the workers.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.The workers’ participation(参与) in management might save a plant from closing down.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Board of directors is the major policymaking group in many companies.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.One of the advantages of involving workers in making a decision is that the interpersonal relationship between workers and managers can be improved.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.An efficient and productive worker should be rewarded with anything but shares in the company’s profits.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given10.Workers should be allowed to buy the plant if it cannot make a profit anymore.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第二部分：阅读选择（每题2分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项中选出1个最佳选项。

第三部分：阅读理解（A）In ancient(古代) time the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome , testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the work of testing candidates（候选⼈）for a master's or doctor's degree.Generally, however, modern examinations are written. Two types of tests are commonly used in modern schools. The first types sometimes called an objective (客观性) test, it is intended to deal with facts., not personal opinions. To make up an objective test the teacher writes a series of questions, each of which has only one correct answer. Along with each question the teacher writes the correct answer and also three statements that look like answers to students who have mot learned the material properly.The student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and copy its letter or number on his examination paper. For testing a student's memory of facts and details, the objective test has advantages. It can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge.For testing some kinds of learning, however, such a test is not very satisfactory. A lucky student may guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.36. The passage is mainly about ________.A. examinations in the ancient times. Ｂ．modern examinations.Ｃ．how to do well in an examination. Ｄ．setting questions for an examination37. The objective test is not very satisfactory because _______.A. it is easy and quick to score.B. the teacher can find out a great deal about the student's range of knowledge in a short time.C. it shows how deeply the student has thought about the subject.D. it contains element of luck.38. Which of the following statements about the objective test is true?Ａ．Examinations in modern times are written, while in ancient times they are spoken.Ｂ．The objective test has advantages for testing a student's memory of facts and details.Ｃ．The objective test is the only way to test a student's memory of facts and details,.Ｄ．Each objective question has more than one correct answer.39. The next paragraph will probably deal with ___________.A. the other type of examinationB. the advantages of the objective testC. how students guess the correct answer without really knowing the materialD. examinations in the ancient times(B )What is world English? World English is a course in the English language. It is intended for students whose native language is not English. It is a basic programme consisting of six stages. Each stage includes a Student Book, a Teacher's Book, a Workbook, and cassette recordings. World English is further supported by separate books of readings, by tests, and by visual（可视　）aids. Who is world English for? World English may be entered at any one of three different levels. The First Level, Books One and Two, is intended for students with little or no education In English. Books Three and Four make up the Second Level; they are suitable for students who have some knowledge of English. The Third Level, Books Five and Six, is intended for students who are concerned with improvement in the language. What does world English teach? World English teaches four basic skills of language: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. At all levels, each skill is presented systematically. In the First Level, listening and speaking receive more attention. In the latter books, reading and writing become more important. However, reading and writing activities are presented even in Unit One of book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur through Unit One of Book One; and listening and speaking exercises occur though Unite Ten of Book Six.40. This passage is probably taken from the _______ of an English text book.A. contentsB. introductionC. First chapterD. index（索引）41. Suppose you are a student of Senior Three, _______ will be suitable for you if you want to make your English better.A. Books One and TwoB. Books Three and FourC. Books Five and SixD. none of them.42. We may infer form this passage that the whole set of World English consists of ______ units.A. tenB. thirtyC. sixtyD. more than sixty( C ) One answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people. The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor(港⼝)。

They say Ireland’s the BestIreland’s is the best place in the World to live for 2005.According to a life quality ranking(排名) that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes, health,Unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender(性别) equality as wellas what the magazine calls“freedom, family and community life”.Despite the bad weather, trouble health service, traffic congestion(拥挤),gender inequality,and the high cost of living,Ireland scored-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的), picking up only 3.89. points.“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued,”the report said,“some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact.”“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life.”The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.No.2 on the list is Switzerland.The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain.The UK is positioned at No.29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP after Luxembourg, took the 13th place in thesurvey.China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.1.For2,005years,Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given2.Level of education is a measure of life quality.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given3.Cost of living in Ireland is pretty high.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given4.Family life in Zimbabwe is not stable.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given5.Breakdown in family values does not affect the happiness level.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given6.Ireland is positioned at No.1 because it combines the most desirable elements of the new with some good elements of the old.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given7.Modernization does not necessarily contribute to high quality of life.( A )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given8.Many people criticize the magazine’s survey on life quality.( C )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given9.To measure life quality is easy.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Givenl0.The United States of America is among the top10countries.( B )A.TrueB.FalseC.Not Given第⼆部分：阅读选择（第11—15题，每题2分，共10分）Rare Fossil RecordThe preservation of embryos and juveniles is a rare occurrence in the fossil record. The tiny, delicate skeletons are usually scattered by scavengers(⾷腐动物) weathering before they can be fossilized. Ichthyosaurs(鱼龙) had a higher chance of being preserved than did terrestrial creatures because, as marine animals, they tended to live in environments less subject to erosion. Still, their fossilization required a suite of factors: a slow rate of decay of soft tissues, little scavenging by other animals, alack of swift currents and waves to jumble and carry away small bones, and fairlyrapid burial. Given these factors, some areas have become a treasury of well-preserved ichthyosaur fossils.The deposits at Holzmaden, Germany, present an interesting case for analysis.The ichthyosaur remains are found in black, bituminous marine shales(页岩) deposited about 190 million years ago. Over the years, thousands of specimens of marine reptiles, fish and invertebrates have been recovered from these rocks. The quality of preservation is outstanding, but what is even more impressive is the number of ichthyosaur fossils containing preserved embryos.Ichthyosaur with embryos have been reported from 6 different levers of the shale in a small area around Holzmaden, suggesting that a specific site was used by large numbers of ichthyosaurs repeatedly over time. The embryos are quite advanced in their physical development; their paddles, for example, are already well formed. One specimen is even preserved in the birth canal. In additional, the shale contains the remains of many newborns that are between 20 and 30 inches long.Why are these so many pregnant females and young at Holzmaden when they are so rare elsewhere? The quality of preservation is almost unmatched and quarry operations have been carried out carefully with an awareness of the value of the fossils. But these factors do not account for the inter-esting question of how how there came to be such a concentration of pregnant ichthyosaurs in a particular place very close to their time of giving birth.11.All of the following are mentioned as factors that encourage fossilization except the_____( D )A. speed of buryingB.conditions of the waterC.rate at which soft tissues decayD.cause of death of the animal12.which of the following is true of the fossil deposits discussedin the passage?( B )A.They include examples of newly discovered specie.B.They contain large numbers of well-perserved specimensC.They are older than fossils found in other places.D.They have been analyzed more carefully than other fossils.13.The word“outstanding"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to_____( D )A.“extensive"B.“surprisingC."vertical"D.“excellent"14.Why does the author mention the specimen preserved in the birth canal?( A )A.To illustrate that the embryo fossils are quite advanced in their development.B.To explain why the fossils are well preserved.C.To indicate how the ichthyosaurs died.D.To prove that ichthyosaurs are marine animals.15.Which of the following best expresses the relationship between the firstand second paragraphs?( C )A.The first paragraph describes a place while the second paragraph describes a field of study.B.The first paragraph defines the terms that are used in the second paragraph.C.The second paragraph describes a specific instance of the general topic discussed in the first paragraph.D.The second paragraph presents information that contrasts with the information given in the first paragraph.第三部分:概括段落⼤意和补全句⼦(第16 -25题，每题1分,共10分)阅读下⾯短⽂，请完成短⽂后的2项测试任务:(1)从第16-20题后所给的6个选项中为第①~⑤段每段选择1个正确的⼩标题;(2)从第21~25题后所给的6个选项中选择5个正确选项，分别完成每个句⼦。
