Anyone who has been a parent knows that raising children is a tough job. It is filled with as many difficult and 1 moments as with moments of joy. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 2 . So parents sometimes feel 3 , not knowing what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is 4 by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American 5 . To Americans, the goal of parents is to help children become 6 . From childhood, each child may get his or her own room. As children grow, they get more 7 to make their own choices. Teenagers choose their own forms of entertainment, as well as the friends to share them with. When they reach young adulthood, they 8their own jobs and marriage partners. Of course, many young adults 9 seek their parents’ advice and approval for the choice they make. But once they “ 10 the nest ” at around 18 to 21 years old, they want to be on their own, not tied to their mother’s apron strings (围裙带). The 11 between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to treat their children as individuals（个体）—not as 12 of themselves. They 13 them to achieve their own dreams . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the 14 to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a 15 among equals. But contrary to popular belief, most adult Americans don’t make their parents pay for room and board when they come to visit. Even as adults, they respect and honor their parents.1.

At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroad with a traffic light. I was alone on the road, but 16 I drove up to the light, it turned red, and I braked to 17 stop. I look left, right, and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light 18 (change) . I was the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering 19 I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught by the police, because there was 20 (obvious) no policeman anywhere around and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it. Much 21 (late) that night, the same question of why I 22 (stop) for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor 23 : we don’t go through red lights. Like most of 24 , I’m more ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law 25 it.II.阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A“I think it’s a great thing when I know it’s going to help someone else.” said l3-year-old Spencer Goldstein, after collecting hundreds of pieces of baseball equipment for kids who can not afford to buy their own.Spencer collected the bats, balls, gloves, helmets and masks for his mitzvah(德行)project, which is a community service project that many Jewish kids do around their bar or bat mitzvahs(成人礼). A bar mitzvah is a ceremony for a boy while a bat mitzvah is intended for a girl. The ceremony means that you are old enough to take on a grown-up’s responsibilities.Spencer got the idea for his mitzvah project after seeing the Ugandan national team at last year’s Little League World Series. Some of the Ugandan players didn’t even have their own gloves. And Spencer’s donations are going to a group called “Pitch for Baseball”——a group that gives baseball equipment to kids in low-income communities around the world.Mollie Schwartz and Mia Schwartz also came up with a sports-related mitzvah project. The money they raised went to the Israel Sport Center for the Disabled. They raised at least $9,000——enough to pay for at least three wheelchairs made for playing basketball.In Massachusetts, Abigail Miller decided to collect musical instruments for her mitzvah project.The instruments Abigail collected were then donated to groups that distribute them to kids who can’t afford to buy them. “I want to make su re everybody can get the chance to enjoy music like I do,” Abigail said. Abigail collected more than three-dozen instruments——wind instruments, string instruments, keyboards, and even a drum set.Whether it’s playing sports, playing music or something else, kids such as Spencer, Mollie, Mia and Abigail are using their mitzvah projects to change the world for the better. “They learned about generosity, ’’ said Mollie’s mother, Loft Schwartz, “and the power to make things happen”.26. How did Spencer feel after collecting some baseball equipment?A. Tired.B. Proud.C. Confident.D. Upset.27. Spencer planned to begin to collect baseball equipment .A. when he was only thirteen years oldB. after he found his classmates still living in povertyC. when he found a group offering equipment to othersD. after he saw some players wearing no gloves28. What do we know about Abigail Miller from the text?A. She helped many kids have fun with music through her efforts.B. She hoped more things would be given to those kids.C. She sent the things she collected directly to those in need.D. She collected sports equipment for the disabled.29. From the passage we can know .A. some kids are famous for their funny projectsB. the requirements are different for boys and girlsC. few girls are willing to do the mitzvah projectsD. not all mitzvah projects are related to sports30. What can we learn from the text?A. Determination.B. Bravery.C. Generosity.D. Honesty.BIf you saw another kid ride her bike too fast around a corner and fall down, you might ride your bike more slowly on that turn. Yes, we humans are very sensitive to others’ mistakes. And the same is true for other animals. Animals mess up all the time. They might eat poisonous leaves, fall off a tree or let their prey(猎物) slip away. By watching others fail, an animal can avoid making the same mistakes, thus improving its chance of survival.Scientis ts suspected that one part of the brain helps animals process information about others’ errors. Cells in that part appear to become more active when a person sees someone else making a mistake. But researchers didn’t know whether individual cells in this p art of the brain play different roles in detecting errors.To investigate the brain’s response to errors in more detail, the researchers taught a game to two macaques, a type of monkey. One monkey could press a yellow or green button while the other watched. If the first monkey pressed the right button, the team gave both animals a treat. Every couple of rounds, the two monkeys switched roles. Meanwhile, the scientists monitored individual cells in the animal’s brains.When the first monkey messed up the game by pressing the wrong button, a group of cells in the second monkey’s brain fired. But if the second monkey also made the wrong choice during itsturn, some of the cells in that group didn’t respond. Those unresponsive cells reacted specifically to mistakes made by others, not to the monkey’s own mistakes.Scientists believe other parts of the brain also might help people process information about another’s errors. “You start to think about this other person and see things from his angle.” Ell en de Bruijn told Science News. She studies the brain at the University of Leiden in the Netherlands.31. According to Paragraph l, animals’ ability to learn from others’ mistakes .A. used to be ignored by humansB. helps them to survive betterC. is being lost because of humansD. ensures that they will never fail32. The underlined word “detecting” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.A. correctingB. makingC. drawingD. sensing33. From the game the scientists taught to two macaques, we can see .A. animals can avoid the same mistakesB. which part of the brain is more activeC. how the brain responds to mistakesD. how the brain processes information34. In the experiment mentioned, those unresponsive cells are only sensitive to .A. others’ mistakesB. the same buttonsC. one’s own mistakesD. the monkey’s brain35. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Animals can learn from mistakes like human beings.B. An interesting experiment by scientists surprised us.C. Monkeys can avoid making mistakes by learning from us.D. The brain cells are always sensitive to others’ information.CWhile you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.THE RESUME --- Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. Have someone else look at your resume. If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to scrutinize. Have copies of your resume printed so that you are ready to hand them out at interviews.COVERING LETTERS --- Maybe you’ve set up a few basic styles in advance, but that’s not enough. Each covering letter should be designed to suit the job for which you are applying.THE WARDROBE(衣橱) --- Check your wardrobe to ensure that you have the appropriate professional dress, including shoes, ready for interviews.NETWORKING --- Don’t isolate yourself from others for days. Network through e-mail messages, phone calls, appointments and meetings keep you in touch with the outside world and prevent you from becoming depressed.APPLICATION --- A glance at huge online job sites isn’t usually the best way to find a job. You are more likely to succeed through the people you know via networking.THE FOLLOW—UP --- It is quite common to apply for a job and never hear back from the company. Take measures, such as following up with a phone call a week or so after you apply. If you know someone at the company, check whether that person will put in a good word for you.INTERVIEWS --- If you’ve got plenty of interviews but no return calls or job offers, take a look at your interviewing skills. This is one area where investing in a career coach may pay off. But if youcan’t afford one, try to find a job group or service that con ducts free mock(模拟) interviews.SUPPORT SYSTEMS --- Finally, recognize that looking for a job is rather difficult. Even at the best of times, a job hunt is often about rejection, and that can be hard to endure. Staying in touch with family, friends, professional networks and fellow job seekers can help you to maintain a positive attitude and a sense of perspective.36. The author’s purpose of writing this text is to _________.A. give people some tips on searching for jobsB. suggest graduates should find suitable jobsC. tell people how to improve their interview skillsD. teach people how to get ready for an interview37. The underlined word “scrutinize” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by ________.A. useB. checkC. rewriteD. criticize38. Which of the following methods is WRONG according to the text?A. You should have your resume read by your friends after finishing it.B. You should create different covering letters for the different jobs you apply for.C. You should wear appropriate professional clothes and shoes for the interview.D. Searching online is the most effective way to look for a job.39. What should you do if you don’t receive any calls after lots of interviews?A. Go to the managers’ off ices to find out why.B. Ask a fellow job seeker to help you.C. Rewrite your resume as soon as possible.D. Carefully review your interviewing skills.40. It is implied in the text that__________.A. your social network may help you a lot in your job huntB. the interview is the most difficult step for intervieweesC. a career coach often offers free mock interviews to intervieweesD. people often pay no attention to writing their resumeDLook at the keyboard of any standard typ ewriter or computer. “Q”, “W”, “E”, “R”, “T” and “Y” are the first six letters. Who decided on this arrangement of the letters? And why?People tried for centuries to invent the typewriter. In 1714 in England, Henry Mill filed a patent for a machine called An Artificial Machine or Method for the Impressing or Transcribing of Letters, Singly or Progressively one after another, as in Writing. With this machine, whatever writing can be shown on paper or parchment, so neat and exact as not to be distinguished from print. That machine probably didn’t sell because no one could remember its name!The first practical typewriter was patented in the United States in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes. His machine was known as the type-writer. It had a movable carriage, a lever for turning paper from line to line, and a keyboard on which the letters were arranged in alphabetical order.But Sholes had a problem. On his first model, his “ABC” key arrangement caused the keys to jam when the typist worked quickly. Sholes didn’t know how to keep the keys from sticking, so his solution was to keep the typist from typing too fast. Sholes asked his brother-in-law to rearrange the keyboard so that the commonest letters were not so close together and the type bars would come from opposite directions. Thus they would not clash together and jam the machine. The new arrangement was the QWERTY arrangement typists use today. Of course, Sholes claimed that thenew arrangement was scientific and would add speed and efficiency. The only efficiency it added was to slow the typist down, since almost any word in the English language required the typist’s fingers to cover more distance on the keyboard.The advantages of the typewriter outweighed the disadvantages of the keyboard. Typists memorized the crazy letter arrangement, and the typewriter became a huge success. By the time typists had memorized the new arrangement of letters and built their speed, typewriter technology had improved, and the keys didn't stick as badly as they had at first.41. Who invented the first practical typewriter?A. Henry MillB. Sholes’ brother-in-lawC. Christopher Latham SholesD. Albert Einstein42. The author thinks the machine invented by Henry Mill could not be sold because__________.A. it was difficult for people to accept new thingsB. there were great disadvantages of the keyboardC. the name of the machine was too longD. the writing could not be distinguished from print43. Sholes decided the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard in order to________.A. arrange the letters in alphabetical orderB. solve the problem of the keys jammingC. cause the keys to jam when the typist worked quicklyD. compete with “ABC” key arrangement44. We can infer that the QWERTY arrangement of the keyboard______.A. keeps the typist from typing too fastB. adds speed and efficiency of typistsC. is easy for typists to memorizeD. is the most scientific arrangement45. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. The Story of Christopher Latham SholesB. The Arrangement of the Letters on KeyboardC. How to Invent the TypewriterD. The First Practical Typewriter第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读以下英国牛津大学出版社的图书信息,并按要求匹配信息。

2020-2021学年揭阳市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案

2020-2021学年揭阳市第一中学高三英语一模试卷及参考答案第一部分阅读（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项AMy mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch even when life separated them.Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several months living with her family inseedymotels.I sensed my mother hid her troubles from most people, but not from Martha, and I knew from my mother that Martha carried her own sorrows. Their willingness to share sorrow without judgment was part of what bond them.The best friendships can also withstand (抵挡) periods without communication. They didn’t communicate a lot — this was before the ease of emails and texts and yet I knew they were always in each other’s minds.One day in 2008, 1 drove my mother to Martha’s house for their final visit. The moment my mother hobbled (蹒跚) into Martha’s house, they threw their arms around each other and went to sit out in the garden, laughing until they were dizzy. I snapped a photo, and spotted something joyous, young and free on my mom, which existed only in the presence of her best friend.Two years later, my mother died. Of all the people I had to tell, Martha was the hardest because I felt it erased her past. After that, we lost touch. But I still think of her and how that friendship strengthened my mother.1. What does the underlined word “seedy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. largeB. dirtyC. urbanD. bright2. The author’s mother and Martha had a lasting friendship partly because they________.A. were willing to shareB. were constantly in touchC. had much in commonD. had a likeness in personality3. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To tell the importance of friendship.B. To express his gratitude to his mother.C. To share his standard of choosing a friend.D. To praise the friendship between Martha and his mother.BI am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adultsoverseewhat students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.Before our first real match, a practice was offered at the actual site. My sub-team had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' nervousness. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy (策略).Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code (自动代码) beganto run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match.Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics it never dull!4. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean?A. InspectB. AdmireC. OverlookD. Assume5. Why did her teammatesfed so nervous before first match?A. Because it was really too difficult for them.B. Because they didn't prepare for it at all.C. Because they didn't know what the match would be like.D. Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.6. How did the author feel about their first robotics match?A. It was tiring but exciting.B. It was stressful but wonderful.C. It was terrible but powerful.D. It was boring but professional7. What is the best title for the text?A. A Girl Who Loves RobotsB. My First Robotics MatchC. Teamwork for RobotsD. Robotics Is Never DullCThe British poet Matthew Byrne moved to Beijing in 2013 and felt that the capital city's poetry scene was lacking．His obsession（痴迷）for starting poetryevents led to the foundation of the Spittoon Collective in May 2015．“At that time，the literary activity in Beijing was The Bookworm based in Sanlitun，”Byrne says．While some of Beijing's literary institutions would go on to close in the fall of 2019，Spittoon would continue to grow as a community for poets and writers，as well as musicians and others in the creative scene．Byrne describes the Spittoon Collective as a platform for people to share ideas，from literary works to different forms of art，with projects developing from the creative energy within the community．Spittoon originally started as a poetry night at the Mado Bar in Dongcheng District 's Baochao Hutong．Byrne says，“In Beijing，you have these wonderful hutongs，ancient structures where you can walk down and visit cool bars，so I thought it would be good to have a poetry event as it seemed like poetry belonged naturally to this area．”He adds，“The objective now is to discover Chinese voices and broadcast them to the rest of the world．We create a kindof theme park-like atmosphere where every Thursday is occupied by a different literary style or art form．”The readings would mainly be in English，but with an international community，a new section called“Poetry-in-Translation”was started，which featured works in Chinese，French，Arabic，Russian，Spanish and other languages．Joining organized activities like Spittoon can be a major help for those caught up in a boring life．And it's especially important for the people who have moved to China as they need to buildnew relationships while livingin a different country．8. What can we know about the Spittoon Collective?A. It was closed in 2019．B. It was set up in 2013 in Beijing．C. It's popular with literature lovers．D. It's a community just for foreigners．9. Why did Byrne start the Spittoon Collective in Baochao Hutong?A. To attract students' love of poetry．B. To expandChina's literature globally．C. To makeBeijing's hutongs famous．D. To combine poetry with the hutong．10. What effect would the Spittoon Collective have on Chinese culture?A. Beneficial．B. Negative．C. Challenging．D. Controversial．11. What is the author's attitude to the Spittoon Collective?A. Unclear．B. Intolerant．C. Doubtful．D. Favorable．DResearchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humansto harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but stillenough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and thatheat will radiate out tothe cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.12. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?A. It will be used for medical purposes.B. It will be made smaller and wearable.C. It will change natural power into electricity.D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.13. Why does the author mentionThe Matrixseries in the text?A. To give an explanation.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce a topic.D. To analyze the cause.14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?A. The strengths of Xiao's device.B. The convenience of using a battery.C. The replacement of wearable devices.D. The development of traditional electronics.15. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?A. It operates with plenty of power.B. It is designed for practical use.C. It benefits people's health in a way.D. It's based on traditional electronics.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

It can play your favourite music while you work out and all you have to worry about is the exercise you're doing.Deep TextDo you ever wonder how an ad appears suddenly just when you are looking for something similar? This is because of Deep Text. It uses real-time consumer information to produce data which in turn is used to target consumers. Thus, if you search online for flight tickets fromBangaloretoDelhi, it is very likely that an ad relating to hotels inDelhiwill soon follow.Hello EggIf you live alone and miss your mother because you always miss your breakfast or don’t know what to eat for dinner, then Hello Egg is exactly what you are looking for.

Great art often shows us contradictions and crises, and we can learn a great deal from their resolutions(解决). Through our understanding of art, we can gain a deeper understanding of how we might overcome our own challenges. In understanding extremes of contrast, we can see the beauty in art with themes that are not simply pleasing for their magnificent features or qualities.Beethoven offers a wonderful example of moving artfully through crises and chaos. He composed his Symphony No. 9 as his hearing loss became more and more pronounced. The opening of the symphony seems to come out of nowhere, from near silence in the opening to a full expression of what many consider to be the joy of freedom and universal brotherhood with Schiller’s Ode to joy（欢乐颂). Beethoven appears to have created a work of art that not only freed him from his personal struggles, but one that also speaks to the joy of living together in peace and harmony.Have a dialogue between the two opposing parts and you will find that they always start out fighting each other until we come to an appreciation of difference—a oneness of the two opposingforces.The arts offer many lessons that can help us gain the knowledge we need to move more confidently in today’ s competitive and uncertain environment. An openness to arts-based solutions will give you more control over your future.4. What value does art have beyond pleasing people's senses?A. It brings people inner peace.B.

Although she only worked for him for a few weeks, she remained good friends with Alfred Nobel for the next 20 years. When she became involved in the peace movement inEurope, she promised to keep Nobel informed of its progress. When Alfred Nobel died in 1896, his will included the establishment of a peace prize, thanks to Bertha von Suttner’s influence.Bertha von Suttner was born in an aristocratic (贵族) military family, but she spent the second half of her life working for peace. She wrote books, attended peace conferences, gave lectures and helped organize peace societies inAustria,GermanyandHungary, as well as the International Peace Bureau inSwitzerland. Her novel Lay Down your Arms, was one of the most influential anti-war books of all time, and helped to make her a leader of the peace movement in Europe. Its end to war theme was both the ambition (抱负) and the most important goalin the life of this great woman.Bertha von Suttner worked so hard for peace because she believed that a terrible war would break out inEuropeif nations didn’t work hard to establish lasting peace institutions. She made many major achievements for a more peaceful world, but two months after she died, World War I broke out. A hundred years after she won the Nobel Peace Prize, nations still seem to view war as a choice to work out their problems. But like Bertha von Suttner did, many today are working hard around the world to help strengthen peace institutions and spread the idea that it’s time to put an end to war.12.

You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time. The new study set out to answer one question: How does handwriting compare to using a keyboard when it comes to remembering new information?In all,24 participants took part. Researchers asked each of them to write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head. It looked somewhat like a hair net fitted with 256 sensors. Those sensors recorded the participants' brainwaves. The electrodes noted which parts of the brain turned on during each task. And they showed that writing turned on memory areas in the brain while typing didn't.Audrey van der Meer, the new study's leader, says this suggests that when we write by hand, we remember better. “This is because writing involves complex movements that activate more areas of the brain. The increased brain activity gives the brain more ‘hooks’ to hang your memories on,” she explains. Van der Meer also points out that writing by hand is related to visual notetaking. “Rather than typing blindly, the visual notetaker has to think about what is important to write down. Then, key words can be interlinked by boxes, arrows and small drawings,” she adds.This study does not recommend banning digital devices. In fact, its authors point out, computers and other devices with keyboards have become necessary in modern society. Keyboarding can especially benefit those with certain special needs (such as if they have trouble using their hands) and typing beats writing when it comes tospeed, they add.4. Why were participants asked to wear caps in the study?A. To record their brainwavesB. To inform them of their tasksC. To allow them to focus on writingD. To protect their heads like hair nets5. What does Audrey van der Meer try to explain?A. Why handwriting is more complex than typingB. Why the brain works when it comes to learningC. Why handwriting helps remember informationD. Why key words are helpful to visual notetaking6. What is the study's authors' view on typing?A. It relieves people's handsB. It remains vital and helpfulC. It is not worth recommendingD. It is more challenging than writing7. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?A. How Can You Remember New Information?B. Handwriting Benefits Health in the LongRunC. Should Typing Take the Place of Handwriting?D. Handwriting Is Better for Memory Than TypingCThese days, football is one of the most popular sports in the world. Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world! The history of the game goes back over two thousand years to Ancient China. It was then known as cuju (kick ball), a game using a ball of animal skins with hair inside. Goals were hung in the air. Football as we know it today started inGreat Britain, where the game was given new rules.That football is such a simple game to play is perhaps the basis of its popularity. It is also a game that is very cheap to play. You don’t need expensive equipment; even the ball doesn’t have to cost much money. All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts’ content with a ball made of plastic bags.Another factor behind football’s global popularity is the creativity and excitement on the field. It is fun enough to attract millions of people. You do not have to be a fan to recognize the skill of professional players or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.What’s more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer andmanager. “I can tell you with certainty it is much, much more important than that.” This might sound funny, but one only has to think about the Earth to realize that our planet is shaped like a football.8.
