When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds United. During i995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him well-known. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored an surprising goal from beyond the halfway line. Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score amazing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.46.

B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.Can yo u understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to f ace. I love New York; it’s great.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted.Yet linguists (语言学家) believe Netspeak is more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak creates a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,”he says, “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries it is believed that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrows parents, they will think this way too. He argues that languages do not become “cor r upted”; they simply change to meet the new n eeds.However, it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers, Students should be aware that text messaging is for fun, but learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”51. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To give an example of a foreign language.B. To show an example of creative methods.C. To express worries about using Netspeak.D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.52. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C. James Milroy says that language is getting worse than before.D. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.53. The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in Paragraph 5 means __________.A. be pretty sureB. be greatly surprisedC. think it a pityD. find it interesting54. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on InternetB. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?D. NetspeakK: Advantages and Disadvantages55. Where can you probably see this passage?A. In an encyclopeadia.B. In a fashion magazine.C. On a science blog.D. In a story book.(C)There is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water tower, AB, in a factory, we first of all go to where the water tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 90 feet from it, in a straight line, marking the spot that is 90 feet from the water. tower. Then we take a stick, DC, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. We go from the water tower until we come to a point E, where, with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water tower in the straight line that is, the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water tower.We now have two triangles (三角形) and the proportion (比例) of the side CD to the side CE, in the smaller triangle CDE, is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the large triangle BAE. It’s clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water tower.Suppose that the line CE is 5 feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet. From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum: 5 is to 4 as 95 is to AB. We multiply 95 by 4, making 380, and divided by 5. Then we : can get the height of the water tower. The height of any other building can, of course, be easily measured by using the same way.56. The underlined word feet refers to __________.A. weightB. footC. lengthD. ruler57. The proportion of the side CD to the side CE is __________ the proportion of the side BA to the side BE.A. bigger thanB. equal toC. similar toD. smaller than58. The triangle CDE must be __________.A. below the triangle BAEB. out of the triangle BAEC. in the triangle BAED. over the triangle BAE59. According to the passage, which of the following proportion sums is correct?A. BA is to four as five is to ninety-fiveB. four is to five as BA is to ninetyC. five is to ninety-five as BA is to fourD. BA is to ninety-five as four is to five60. The height of the water tower is __________.A. 45 feetB. 76 feetC. 90 feetD. 180 feet六、阅读填空(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)根据短文内容，从A-F中选择恰当的句子填入短文空白处，使上下文连贯，其中一项为多余选项。
