and arrow dates as far back as the old stone age, and is the most widely used weapon in human history. while there is recorded evidence of archery competitions taking place in china more than 3,000 years ago, the modern sport of archery most likely originated in england during the 14th century. then the sport began to develop fast and there were a few different styles ofshooting, some of which developed into what we see today in the sport of archery.there was clout shooting, in which arrows were held high into the air with the purpose of hitting a target which was laid flat, not vertical. the aim was to land the arrow as close to the target as possible. this variety of shooting is still practiced today, often with traditional bows.“roving marks”, another style, saw players shooting at a target, only to shoot at a new target from the location of the previous target. it is said that this is the oldest form of competitive archery, and was practiced by henry viii. finally, there was butt (靶垛) shooting, in which butts held targets, which the players would shoot at. this is the ancestor of modern-day olympic target shooting.archery was a part of the second olympic games, which was held in 1900. it was dropped after 1920, however, because rules varied too much between nations. archery was brought back into the olympics in 1972. this was after enough nations had formed archery governing bodies affiliated with the fdration internationale de tir larc, which was founded in paris in 1931, to standardize rules for international competitions.from its early history to modern times, archery has always been a competitive sport. surely, many years from now archery will continue to be a popular sport reaching across age gaps and national borders, uniting archery lovers from all over the world.25. according to the text, archery _.a. was already very common in the old stone ageb. could be seen around europe in the 14th centuryc. was recorded as a sport in china over 3,000 years agod. disappeared from the olympics after 1920 because of war26. the underlined word “vertical” in paragraph 3 can best be replaced by “_”.a. straight b. smooth c. upstanding d. approaching27. what can we learn about clout shooting?a. it can not be seen nowadays any more. b. it is the oldest form of competitive archery.c. arrows have to land on the centre of a target. d. players should shoot at a target that lies down.28. what would be the best title for the text?a. a brief history of competitive archery. b. archery at the olympic games.c. different styles of archery. d. how to do competitive archery.cglendale city parks ranger clubglendale city parksduring the summer, the city parks provide a pleasant place for children to have fun, people to walk their dogs, and families to

faces in the audience.remember: nervousness doesnt show one tenth as much as it feels. before each presentation, make a short list of the items that you think will make you feel better. dont be afraid to experiment with different combinations. you never know which ones will work best until you try. use these steps to control stage fright so it doesnt control you. once you are used to stage fright,

piece of advice to people in industrial countries. they say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 36 the scientists say that human life has changed greatly. our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses. 37 they are called “disease of civilization”. many cancers and diseases of blood system are examples of such diseases.the scientists noted that people in both the old stone age and the new stone age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 however, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that today.stone age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic ones. they did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made little use of grains. 39 we eat six times more than our ancestors and we eat more sugar as well. we eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin c. 40 but the scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fat, salty and sweet food.a. in that case, they would live a much healthier life. b. modern people used to suffer from “diseases of civilization”.c. stone age people lived a simple life without any meat.d. ancient people also got lots of physical exercise. e. people today probably dont want to live like our ancestors. f. but today, we enjoy eating a lot of these. g. these new sicknesses were not known in ancient times. 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（a、b、c、和d ）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。when my brother and i were growing up, we mowed (割草) yards during the summer to
