We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow, listening to a 23 who looked even younger than the students. I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the professor carefully 24 what she expected us to learn. As I listened, I couldnt help but 25 of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in 26 , just like me.

A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) 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 23mistakes, a remarkably high number. 高考资源网 The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze 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 (最佳的) 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, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard ofrefereeing 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 FIFAs 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. 高考资源网41. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was _. A. slightly above average B. higher than in the 1998 World Cup C. quite unexpected D. as high as in a standard match42. The findings of the experiment show that _. A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball B. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errors C. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely will errors occur D. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot43. The word officials (Line 2, Para. 4) most probably refers to _. A. the researchers involved in the experiment B. the inspectors of the football tournament C. the referees of the football tournament高考资源网 D. the observers at the site of the experiment44. 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.BWhile still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states at least in getting people off welfare. Its estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls（名册） since 1994.In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens Country have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens Country poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent twice the national average.For advocates（代言人）for the poor, thats an indication much more needs to be done.“More people are getting jobs, but its not making their lives any better,” says Kathy Lairn, a 高考资源网policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin（毒素）that was poisoning the family,” saysRobert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic（道德观）, which is much more important.”Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked,” then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.45. From the passage, it can be seen that the author _.A. believes the reform has reduced the governments burdenB. insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poor高考资源网C. is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reformD. considers welfare reform to be basically successful46. Why arent people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?A. Because many families are divorced.B. Because government aid is now rare.C. Because their wages are low.D. Because the cost of living is rising.47. From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at _.A. saving welfare fundsB. rebuilding the work ethicC. providing more jobsD. cutting government expenses48. According to the passage before the welfare reform was carried out, _.高考资源网A. the poverty rate was lowerB. average living standards were higherC. the average worker was paid higher wagesD. the poor used to rely on government aid CAmong the more colorful characters of Leadvilles golden age were H.A.W. Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as Baby Doe. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was attracted by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. A large amount of lead is sure to be found here. he said. 高考资源网As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadvilles fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to grubstake prospective（预期的） miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, orgrub, while they looked for ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for grub. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent（坚持的）, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. Oh help yourself. One more time wont make any difference, He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the Pittsburgh Mine, made $1,300, 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more abundant than the Pittsburgh, producing $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became the governor of the state. 高考资源网49. The word grubstake in paragraph 2 means _ .A. to supply miners with food and suppliesB. to open a general storeC. to do ones contribution to the development of the mineD. to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one was discovered50.Tabor made his first fortune_.A. by supplying two prospective miners and getting in return a one-third interest in the findingsB. because he was persuaded by the two miners to quit supplyingC. by buying the shares of the other高考资源网D. as a land speculator（投机商）51. The underlying（潜在的）reason for Tabors successful life career is _.A. purely accidentalB. based on the analysis of miners being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining siteC. through the help from his second wifeD. he planned well and accomplished targets step by step52. If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part?A. Tabors life.B. Tabors second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.C. Other colorful characters.D. Tabors other careers.（D）College libraries are designed primarily for research and study. To explain its use, let us choose a research topic and follow the step-by-step procedure of looking up the material for the paper. Suppose your assignment is to write a paper on a novel called “The Sun Also Rises” by American writer Hemingway. The first step is to go to the main catalog. Many small drawers on the large wooden cabinets are lined up in alphabetical(字母的) order. Each of the drawers contains hundreds of alphabetical ordered cards. These cards are printed references to all material available in the library. Title cards are cataloged() by the first word of the book title, leaving out the articles like “a”, “an” and “the”. And then you get the cards for the books you need. On the upper left corner of each card is the call number. This is the numerical code that shows where the book is located in the library. The library has open and closed stacks. If your book is on the open stacks, you can go to the open-stack room, and according to the call number find it out by yourself. There are only about 30,000 books on o pen stacks, while most of the 800,000 books in our library are kept in closed stacks, which are accessible only to teachers and graduate students. For undergraduates like you, borrowing books from the closed stacks have to be done with the help of our librarian. In that case, you must fill out a call slip(纸条) for the book, showing the call number, author and title. You can get call slips on tables near the catalog cabinets. You show your call slip together with your library card to a librarian at the information desk. He or she will help you find the book out in the closed stacks.53.What is the main purpose of this text?A. To present readers a brief introduction to a college library. 高考资源网B.
