Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects will win such a match，and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all that are important，and games are left for the children themselves. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in classroom，it also means the training of character by means of games，especially team games，where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone. The school therefore plays games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game；it is good for both body and mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.31．In paragraph 1，“this ”m eans .A．people often shout at each other in a football matchB．people，rich and poor，young and old，often play footballC．football is the most popular game in EnglandD．people usually go to the important matches32．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage？A．English children have more knowledge of football than adults.B．Nearly all European schools consider lessons the most important.C．It is surprising that English children have great knowledge of football.D．English schools attach more importance to football than nearly all European schools.33．What does education mean in England？A．Filling a boy’mind with facts.B．Teaching how to work with others for the team.C．Training character by means of games.D．More than the teaching of knowledge.34．From the passage，we learn that .A．football is popular mostly among English children.B．schools in England make use of football for the training of body and mind.C．football is more important than lessons in England.D．other European schools consider football unimportant（B）A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That’s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司）of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels.35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease.B. People who regularly eat fish never suffer from hear disease.C. Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease.D. There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland.36. The underlined words “lean fish” (paragraph 5) roughly mean “_______”.A. large fishB. fresh fishC. fish that live in salt waterD. fish that have little fat37. The passage is mainly about _________.A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countriesB. the effect of fish eating on people’s healthC. the changes in people’s dietD. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures38. The phrase “this relationship” (para graph 6) refers to the connection between _______ and the level of heart disease.A. the amount of fish eatenB. regular fish-eatingC. the kind of fish eatenD. people of different areas（C）For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth’s natural conditions. Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred times worse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Some pollutants (污染物) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cancer. Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution. They believe that a plant’s leaves absorb (吸取) or take in the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.39. Generally speaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _______.A.indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB.man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC.there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD.the flow of air indoors is limited, which is very harmful40. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in ________.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD.all kinds of offices41. The indoor air pollution is caused by ________.A.the limit of the flow of air between inside and outsideB.the building way that the builders want to save energyC.the building things that are made of man-made materialsD.the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow42. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that ________.A.plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB.plants may take in more oxygen which people needC.plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsE.plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy（D）New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant (瞬间的) damage to the other tower realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.Katherine Ilachinsiki, who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一阵)of heat exploding from the neighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive (经理), cried sharply and set off too.But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off.Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring (使……确信) them that the building was sound and the threat (威胁)waslimited to the other tower.Some left, others stayed. Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other cautions (警告) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed (坠落，碰撞) into the south tower.One of those caught in indecision (踌躇不决) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor.“I just don’t know what happened to them,” Mr Jacobs said.43. From the passage, we know that the south tower was hit by the plane ________.A. at 8:30B. 18 minutes earlier than the north towerC. at around 9:06D. at 8:4844. The underlined words “stay put” means ________.A. stay in the buildingB. leave at onceC. put everything back and then leaveD. keep silent45. Which floor was hit by the second plane?A. The 91st floorB. The 103rd floorC. The 60th floorD. The 79th floor46. Fewer people would have died if ________.A. more announcements had been madeB. people hadn’t used the liftsC. the attack had happened on a weekendD. the people had obeyed the office rules（E）Paloalto, California—“Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter—even if they do not change their diet,” US researchers said last week.A study of 192 third and fourth graders, generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.“The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the resul t of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity,” said Thomas Robinson, a pediatrician (儿科专家) at Stanford University. “American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video game s. And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years,” Robinsin said.In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist (腰) size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing, even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise.“One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories,” Robinson said. “Another reason might b e eating fewer meals in front of the television. Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more,” Robinson said.47. The report tells us that children will get fatter if they ________.A. eat in front of the TVB. change their dietC. do special exercisesD. spend much time watching TV48. According to the report, the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playingvideo games ________.A. is four hours a day or moreB. is less than four hours a dayC. has doubled in the last 20 yearsD. has been reduced to one-quarter49. The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than ____.A. one hourB. two hoursC. three hoursD. four hours50. Watching TV wil l increase kid’s weight because ________.A.they usually eat more and move lessB.they no longer take part in outdoor activitiesC.they will not burn off caloriesD.they will enjoy having meals in front of the television第二节信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）一方面，请阅读下列的应用文：请阅读以下5人的个人信息，然后匹配人物和适合他们住的地方：51.

READING PASSAGE 1You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 1-14 which are based on Reading Passage 1. Spider silk cuts weight of bridgesA strong, light bio-material made by genes from spiders could transform construction and industry.A Scientists have succeeded in copying the silk-producing gene of the Golden Orb Weaverspider and are using them to create a synthetic material which they believe is the model for a new generation of advanced bio-materials. The new material, biosilk, which has been spun for the first time by researchers at DuPont, has an enormous range of potential uses in construction and manufacturing.B The attraction of the silk spun by the spider is a combination of great strength and enormouselasticity, which man-made fibres have been unable to replicate. On an equal-weight basis, spider silk is far stronger than steel and it is estimated that if a single strand could be made about 10m in diameter, it would be strong enough to stop a jumbo jet in flight. A third important factor is that it is extremely light. Army scientists are already looking at the possibilities of using it for lightweight, bullet-proof vests and parachutes.C For some time, biochemists have been trying to synthesise the drag-line silk of the Golden OrbWeaver. The drag-line silk, which forms the radial arms of the web, is stronger than the other parts of the web and some biochemists believe a synthetic version could prove to be as important a material as nylon, which has been around for 50 years, since the discoveries of Wallace Carothers and his team ushered in the age of polymers.D To recreate the material, scientists, including Randolph Lewis at the University of Wyoming,first examined the silk-producing gland of the spider. "We took out the glands that produce the silk and looked at the coding for the protein material they make, which is spun into a web. We then went looking for clones with the right DNA," he says.E At DuPont, researchers have used both yeast and bacteria as hosts to grow the raw material,which they have spun into fibres. Robert Dorsch, DuPont’s director of biochemical development, says the globules of protein, comparable with marbles in an egg, are harvested and processed. "We break open the bacteria, separate out the globules of protein and use them as the raw starting material. With yeast, the gene system can be designed so that the material excretes the protein outside the yeast for better access," he says.F "The bacteria and the yeast produce the same protein, equivalent to that which the spider usesin the drag lines of the web. The spider mixes the protein into a water-based solution and then spins it into a solid fibre in one go. Since we are not as clever as the spider and we are not using such sophisticated organisms, we substituted man-made approaches and dissolved theprotein in chemical solvents, which are then spun to push the material through small holes to form the solid fibre.”G Researchers at DuPont say they envisage many possible uses for a new biosilk material. Theysay that earthquake-resistant suspension bridges hung from cables of synthetic spider silk fibres may become a reality. Stronger ropes, safer seat belts, shoe soles that do not wear out so quickly and tough new clothing are among the other applications. Biochemists such as Lewis see the potential range of uses of biosilk as almost limitless. "It is very strong and retains elasticity; there are no man-made materials that can mimic both these properties. It is also a biological material with all the advantages that has over petrochemicals," he says.H At DuPond’s laboratories, Dorsc h is excited by the prospect of new super-strong materials buthe warns they are many years away. "We are at an early stage but theoretical predictions are that we will wind up with a very strong, tough material, with an ability to absorb shock, which is stronger and tougher than the man-made materials that are conventionally available to us," he says.I The spider is not the only creature that has aroused the interest of material scientists. They havealso become envious of the natural adhesive secreted by the sea mussel. It produces a protein adhesive to attach itself to rocks. It is tedious and expensive to extract the protein from the mussel, so researchers have already produced a synthetic gene for use in surrogate bacteria.Questions 1-5The passage has nine paragraphs A-I.Which paragraph contains the following information?Write the correct letter A-I in boxes 1-5 on your answer sheet.1 a comparison of the ways two materials are used to replace silk-producing glands2 predictions regarding the availability of the synthetic silk3 on-going research into other synthetic materials4 the research into the part of the spider that manufactures silk5 the possible application of the silk in civil engineeringQuestions 6- 11Complete the flow chart below.Choose NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS from the passage for each answer.Write your answers in boxes 6-11 on your answer sheet..Synthetic gene growth in 6_______ or 7_________globules of 8 ________dissolved in 9__________passed through 10 ________to produce 11 ___________Questions 12- 14Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 1?In boxes 12-14 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this12 Biosilk has already replaced nylon in parachute manufacture.13 The spider produces silk of varying strengths.14 Lewis and Dorsch co-operated in the synthetic production of silk.READING PASSAGE 2You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 15-27 which are based on Reading Passage 2.TEACHING IN UNIVERSITIESIn the 19th century, an American academic, Newman, characterised a university as: “a place of teaching universal kn owledge…(a plane for) thediffusion and extension of knowledge rather than its advancement.”Newman argued that if universities were not for teaching but rather for scientific discovery, then they would not need students.Interestingly, during this century, while still teaching thousands of students each year, the resources of most universities have been steadily channelled away from teaching into research activities. Mostrecently, however, there have been strong moves in both North America and the United Kingdom to develop initiatives that would enhance the profile of the teaching institutions of higher education. In the near future, therefore, as well as the intrinsic rewards gained from working with students and the sense that they are contributing to their overall growth and development, there should soon be extrinsic rewards, in the form of job promotion, for those pursuing academic excellence in teaching in universities.In the future, there will be more focus in universities on the quality of their graduates and their progression rates. Current degree courses, whose assessment strategies require students to learn by rote and reiterate the course material, and which do not require the student to interact with the material, or construct a personal meaning about it or even to understand the discipline, are resulting in poor learning outcomes. This traditional teaching approach does not take into account modern theories of education, the individual needs of the learner, nor his or her prior learning experience.In order for universities to raise both the quality and status of teaching, it is first necessary to have some kind of understanding of what constitutes good practice. A 1995 report, compiled in Australia, lists eight qualities that researchers agree are essential to good teaching.Good teachers...A are themselves good learners - resulting in teaching that is dynamic, reflective and constantlyevolving as they learn more and more about teaching;B display enthusiasm for their subject and the desire to share it with their students;C recognise the importance of context and adjust their teaching accordingly;D encourage deep learning approaches and are concerned with developing their students' criticalthinking skills, problem solving skills and problem-approach behaviours:E demonstrate an ability to transform and extend knowledge, rather than merely transmit it;F recognise individual differences in their students and take advantage of these;G set clear goals, use valid assessment techniques and provide high-quality feedback to theirstudents;H show respect for, and interest in, their students and sustain high expectations of them.In addition to aiming to engage students in the learning process, there is also a need to address the changing needs of the marketplace. Because in many academic disciplines the body of relevant knowledge is growing at an exponential rate, it is no longer possible, or even desirable, for an individual to have a complete knowledge base. Rather, it is preferable that he or she should have an understanding of the concepts and the principles of the subject, have the ability to apply this understanding to new situations and have the wherewithal to seek out the information that is needed. As the world continues to increase in complexity, university graduates will need to be equipped to cope with rapid changes in technology and to enter careers that may not yet be envisaged, with change of profession being commonplace. To produce graduates equipped for this workforce, it is essential that educators teach in ways that encourage learners to engage in deep learning, which may be built upon in the later years of their course, and also be transferred to the workplace.The new role of the university teacher, then, is one that focuses on the students' learning rather than the instructor's teaching. The syllabus is more likely to move from being a set of learning materials made up of lecture notes, to a set of learning materials made up of print, cassettes, disks and computer programs. Class contact hours will cease to be the major determinant of an academic workload. The teacher will then be released from being the sole source of information transmission and will become instead more a learning manager, able to pay more attention to the development and delivery ofeducation rather than content.Student-centred learning activities will also require innovative assessment strategies. Traditional assessment and reporting has aimed to produce a single mark or grade for each student. The mark is intended to indicate three things: the extent to which the learned material was mastered or understood; the level at which certain skills were performed and the degree to which certain attitudes were displayed.A deep learning approach would test a student’s ab ility to identify and tackle new and unfamiliar 'real world' problems. A major assessment goal will be to increase the size and complexity of assignments and minimise what can be achieved by memorising or reproducing content. Wherever possible, students will be involved in the assessment process to assist them to learn how to make judgments about themselves and their work.Questions 15-18Do the following statements agree with the information given in Reading Passage 2?In the boxes 15-18 on your answer sheet writeTRUE if the statement agrees with the informationFALSE if the statement contradicts the informationNOT GIVEN if there is no information on this15Newman believed that the primary focus of universities was teaching.16Job promotion is already used to reward outstanding teaching.17Traditional approaches to assessment at degree level are having a negative effect on the learning process.18University students have complained about bad teaching and poor results.Questions 19-23Look at the eight qualities A-H of “good teachers” in Reading Passage 2 and the statements below (Questions 19-23).Match each quality to the statement with the same meaning.Write the correct letter A-H in boxes 19-23 on your answer sheet.Good teachers19 can adapt their materials to different learning situations.20 assist students to understand the aims of the course.21 are interested in developing the students as learners.22treat their students with dignity and concern.23continually improve their teaching by monitoring their skills.Questions 24-27Choose the correct letter, A, B, C or DWrite your answers in boxes 24-27 on your answer sheet.24 In the future, university courses will focus more onA developing students’ skills and concepts.B expanding students’ knowledge.C providing work experience for students.D graduating larger numbers of students.25 According to the author, university courses should prepare students toA do a specific job well.B enter traditional professions.C change jobs easily.D create their own jobs.26 The author believes that new learning materials in universities will result inA more work for teachers.B a new role for teachers.C more expensive courses.D more choices for students.27 The author predicts that university assessment techniques will include moreA in-class group assignments.B theoretical exams.C problem-solving activities.D student seminar presentations.READING PASSAGE 3You should spend about 20 minutes on Questions 28-40 which are based on Reading Passage 3.

For people around the world who inhabit low-lying areas, variations in sea levels are of crucial importance and the scientific study of oceans has attracted increasing attention. Towards the end of the 1970s, some scientists began suggesting that global warming could cause the world's oceans to rise by several metres. The warming, they claimed, was an inevitable consequence of increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which acted like a greenhouse to trap heat in the air. The greenhouse warming was predicted to lead to rises in sea levels in a variety of ways. Firstly, heating the ocean water would cause it to expand. Such expansion might be sufficient to raise the sea level by 300mm in the next 100 years. Then there was the observation that in Europe's Alpine valleys glaciers had been shrinking for the past century. Meltwater from the mountain glaciers might have raised the oceans 50mm over the last 100 years and the rate is likely to increase in future. A third threat is that global warming might cause a store of frozen water in Antarctica to melt which would lead to a calamitous rise in sea level of up to five metres.The challenge of predicting how global warming will change sea levels led scientists of several disciplines to adopt a variety of approaches. In 1978 J H Mercer published a largely theoretical statement that a thick slab of ice covering much of West Antarctica is inherently unstable. He suggested that this instability meant that, given just 5 degrees Celsius of greenhouse warming in the south polar region, the floating ice shelves surrounding the West Antarctic ice sheet would begin to disappear. Without these buttresses the grounded ice sheet would quickly disintegrate and coastlines around the world would be disastrously flooded. In evidence Mercer pointed out that between 130,000 and 110,000 years ago there had been just such a global warming as we have had in the past 20,000 years since the last ice age. In the geological remains of that earlier period there are indications that the sea level was five metres above the current sea level- just the level that would be reached if the West Antarctic ice sheet melted. The possibility of such a disastrous rise led a group of American investigators to form SeaRISE (Sea-level Response to Ice Sheet Evolution) in 1990. SeaRISE reported the presence of Five active "ice streams" drawing ice from the interior of West Antarctica into the Ross Sea. They stated that these channels in the West Antarctic ice sheet "may be manifestations of collapse already under way."CBut doubt was cast on those dire warnings by the use of complex computer models of climate. Models of atmospheric and ocean behaviour predicted that greenhouse heating would cause warmer, wetter air to reach Antarctica, where it would deposit its moisture as snow. Thus, the sea ice surrounding the continent might even expand causing sea levels to drop. Other observations have caused scientists working on Antarctica to doubt that sea levels will be pushed upward several metres by sudden melting. For example, glaciologists have discovered that one of the largest ice streams stopped moving about 130 wars ago. Ellen Mosley-Thompson, questioning the SeaRISE theory, notes that ice streams "seem to start and stop, and nobody really knows why." Her own measurements of the rate of snow accumulation near the South Pole show that snowfalls have increased substantially in recent decades as global temperature has increased.DMost researchers are now willing to accept that human activities have contributed to global warming, but no one can say with any assurance whether the Antarctic ice cap is growing or shrinking in response.A satellite being planned by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration will use laser range finders to map changes in the elevation of the polar ice caps, perhaps to within 10 millimetres, and should end the speculation.EWhatever the fate of the polar ice caps may be, most researchers agree that the sea level is currently rising. That, however, is difficult to prove. Tide gauges in ports around the world have been measuring sea levels for decades but the data are flawed because the land to which the gauges are attached can itself be moving up and down. In Stockholm the data from the sea level gauge show the sea level to be falling at four millimetres a year, but that is because all Scandinavia is still rebounding after being crushed by massive glaciers during the last ice age. By contrast, the gauge at Honolulu, which is more stable, shows the sea level to be rising at a rate of one and a half millimetres a year. Unstable regions cannot be omitted from the data because that would eliminate large areas of the world. Most of the eastern seaboard of North America is still settling after a great ice sheet which covered Eastern Canada 20,000 years ago tilted it up. And then there is buckling occurring at the edges of the great tectonic plates as they are pressed against each other. There is also land subsidence as oil and underground water is tapped. In Bangkok, for example, where the residents have been using groundwater, land subsidence makes it appear as if the sea has risen by almost a metre in the past 30 years.Using complex calculations on the sea level gauge data, Peltier and Tushingham found that the global sea level has been rising at a rate of 2mm a year over the past few decades. Confirmation came from the TOPEX satellite which used radar altimeters to calculate changes in ocean levels. Steven Nerem, working on the TOPEX data, found an average annual sea level rise of 2mm which is completely compatible with the estimates that have come from 50 years of tide gauge records. The key question still facing researchers is whether this trend will hold steady or begin to accelerate in response to a warming climate. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change gives the broad prediction for the next century of a rise between 200mm and 1 metre.Questions 33 - 40Complete each sentence with the correct ending A-L from the box below.Write the correct letter A-L in boxes 33-40 on your answer sheet.33 The Dutch dykes were broken34 Without ice shelves, West Antarctic ice covers would contract35 Mercer predicted a 5-metre sea-level rise36 SeaRISE believed the collapse of Antarctic ice had begun37 Mosley-Thompson doubted the SeaRlSE theory38 Doubts over Antarctica's trends will soon be settled39 Stockholm's tide gauge shows a fall in sea level环球雅思入学测试答案READING PASSAGE 11-5.

ReadingTask 1The Man behind Blue JeansLevi Strauss was born in 1829 in Bavaria, Germany. He was the fifth of six children. His father sold dry goods from door to door. (Dry goods include many different things: fabric, thread, scissors, combs, buttons, yarn, etc.)In 1845, his father died. All six children decided to go to the United States. Two of Strauss‟ bothers started a dry goods company in New Y ork City. Strauss‟ sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco. Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States. For eight years, he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door -- just like his father in Bavaria.In 1853, Strauss decided to move to San Francisco. (At that time, thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California, Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods. He had only one thing left -- some canvas.In California, Strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners. He said they could make tents from the canvas. But they weren‟t interested in canvas for tents. Strauss didn‟t know what to do with the canvas. Then, he had an idea. Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants. There were holes in their pants because the fabric wasn‟t strong. He decided to make the canvas into pants. They called them “Levi‟s”. Later, Strauss stopped using canvas and used a different fabric. It was a heavy cotton fabric -- the same kind people wear today.Levi Strauss died in 1902. He never married and left his money to his nephews.

Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched, mouth open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop . She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors." "Yes. I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them," the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?" Mum just pushed harder, each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." Outside, Mum told me: "Dagmar is fine. No fever." "You saw her,Mum?" "Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a brush."21.

A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees' errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail.Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football's international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFA's insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.26. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to _______.A) review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB) analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC) set a standard for football refereeing27. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _______.A) slightly above average B) higher than in the 1998 World CupC) quite unexpected D) as high as in a standard match28. The findings of the experiment show that _______.A) errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB) the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC) the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occurD) errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot29. The word "officials" (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _______.A) the researchers involved in the experimentB) the inspectors of the football tournamentC) the referees of the football tournamentD) the observers at the site of the experiment30. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?A) The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.B) Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C) A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.D)An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.Passage ThreeIt is said that the public and Congressional concern about deceptive(欺骗性的) packaging rumpus(喧嚣) started because Senator Hart discovered that the boxes of cereals consumed by him, Mrs. Hart, and their children were becoming higher and narrower, with a decline of net weight from 12 to 10.5 ounces, without any reduction in price. There were still twelve biscuits, but they had been reduced in size. Later, the Senator rightly complained of a store bought pie in a handsomely illustrated box that pictured, in a single slice, almost as many cherries as there were in the whole pie.The manufacturer who increases the unit price of his product by changing his package size to lower the quantity delivered can, without undue hardship, put h is product into boxes, bags, and tins that will contain even 4ounce, 8ounce, one pound, two pound quantities of breakfast foods, cake mixes, etc. A study of drugstore(杂货店) and supermarket shelves will convince any observer that all possible size and shapes of boxes, jars, bottles, and tins are in use at the same time, and, as the package journals show, week by week, there is never any hesitation in introducing a new size and shape of box or bottle when it aids in pro duct differentiation. The producers of packaged products argue strongly against changing sizes of packages to contain even weights and volumes, but no one in the trade comments unfavorably on the huge costs incurred by endless changes of package sizes, materials, shape, art work, and net weights that are used for improving a product's market position.When a packaging expert explained that he was able to multiply the price of hard sweets by 2.5,from 1 dollar to 2.50 dollars by changing to a fancy jar, or that he had made a 5ounce bottle look as thought it held 8 ounces, he was in effect telling the public that packaging can be a very expensive luxury. It evidently does come high, when an average family pays about 200 dollars a year for bottles, cans, boxes, jars and other containers, most of which can't be used anything but stuffing the garbage can.31. What started the public and Congressional concern about deceptive packaging rumpus?A) Consumers' complaints about the changes in the package size.B) Expensive packaging for poor quality products.C) A senator's discovery of the tricks in packaging.D) The rise in the unit price for many products.。

When weconsider our children’s mobility, they can be driven to more places (and more distant places) than they could visit without access to a motor vehicle. However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded children’s independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision. In recent surveys, when parents in some cities were asked about their own childhood experiences, the majority remembered having more, or far more, opportunities for going out on their own, compared with their own children today. They had more freedom to explore their own environment.2.Children’s independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal,mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a ‘sense of place’. This depends on ‘active exploration’, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars. (Such children may see more, but they learn less.) Not only is it important that children are able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.3.There are very significant time and money costs for parents associated with transporting theirchildren to school, sport and to other locations. Research in the United Kingdom estimated that this cost, in 1990, was between 10 billion and 20 billion pounds.4.The reduction in children’s freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of localcommunity. As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians, these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This is itself may exacerbate fears associated with assault and molestation of children, and who can look out for their safety.5.The extra traffic involved in transporting children results in increased traffic congestion, pollutionand accident risk. As our roads become more dangerous, more parents drive their children to more places, thus contributing to increased levels of danger for the remaining pedestrians. Anyone who has experience either the reduced volume of traffic jams near schools at the end of a school day, will not need convincing about these points. Thus, there are also important environmental implications of children’s loss of freedom.6.As individual, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, indoing so, (e.g. by driving their children to sport, school) or generally, the idea that ‘streets are for cars and backyards and playgrounds are for children’s a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety. 7.In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts in Germany, residential streets arenow places where cares must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, residents are accepting the view that the function of street is not solely to provide mobility for cars. Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of ‘traffic calming’initiatives, aimed at reducing the volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complexinteractive effects, leading to a sense that children have able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children in many German cities have significantly higher levels of freedom to travel to places in their own neighborhood or city than children in other cities in the world.8.Modifying cities in order to enhance children’s freedom will not only benefit children. Such citieswill become more environmentally sustainable, as well as more sociable and more livable for all city residents. Perhaps, it will be our concern for our children’s welfare that convinces us that we need to challenge the dominance of the car in our cities.Questions 1—5Read statement 1-5 which relate to paragraphs 1,2 and 3 of the reading passage.
