it combines basketball and soccer with the attracting saves of water polo.handball is played on an indoor court ( the size of two basketball courts ) and there are goals at each end. there are twelve players on each team, two goal keepers and ten field players, but there is a maximum of one goalkeeper and six field players from each team allowed on the court at any one time. the_idea_is_simple:_score more goals than the other team. the ball is made of leather or a synthetic material and it must be round. the surface must not be shiny or slippery. the size and weight of the ball varies for male and female teams, and adult and junior team. handball has the same freeranging play as basketball, with all players except the goalkeeper constantly moving from attack to defence. the goalkeeper uses hands, feet, head and body to keep out the other teams shots. the origins of handball are unclear. many people believe that it developed as a training game for soccer, to be played in the off season, or when it was snowing. now, in countries where handball is popular, players can earn large sums of money, and indoor stadiums seating over ten thousand people sell out

(2013合肥市二模，d)it is a tall tale that terrifies most young children. swallow a piece of chewing gum and it will remain in your body for seven years before it is digested. an even worse tale is that swallowed gum can wrap itself around your heart.but what does happen if you should accidentally eat a stick of gum? chewing gum is made out of gum base, sweeteners, coloring and flavoring. the gum base is pretty indigestibleit is a mixture of different ingredients (成分) that our body cant absorb.most of the time, your stomach really cannot break down the gum the way it would break down other foods. however, your digestive system has another way to deal with things you swallow. after all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. they keep moving along until they make it all the way through the gut (肠子) and come out at the other end one or two days later.the saliva (唾液) in our mouths will make an attempt at digesting chewing gum as soon as we put it in our mouths. it might get through the shell but many of gums base ingredients are indigestible. its then down to our stomach muscleswhich contract and relax, much like the way an earthworm movesto slowly force the things that we swallow through our systems.swallowing a huge piece of gum or swallowing many small pieces of gum in a short time can cause a blockage within the digestive system, most often in children, who have a thinner digestive tube than adultsbut this is extremely rare.文章大意：本文为一篇科普类说明文。误食口香糖是不是像大人吓小孩子那样可怕呢？本文对此进行了分析。8children might feel terrified after swallowing chewing gum mainly

remains in our digestive system forever.bit will be eventually moved out of our body.cit will fight against the power of the gut.dit will stick to the gut for one or two days.答案：b细节理解题。根据文章第三段最后两句“after all, we eat lots of things that we are unable to fully digest. they keep moving. come out at the other end one or two days later.”可知，答案b符合文义。10the word it (in the 4th paragraph) refers to _.athe attempt bthe salvia cthe shell dthe gum base答案：b指代判断题。根据对文章第四段前两句的理解可知，此处的it是指第四段第一句中的the saliva(唾液)，故答案b符合文义。11what would be the best title for text?ahow does our digestive system work?bcan chewing gum be swallowed by kids?cdoes swallowing chewing gum matter?dwhy swallowing chewing gum frightens kids?答案：c标题概括题。文章第一段由一个使小孩子害怕的说法导入话题，下文是对口香糖进入肚子后会怎样的一个科学解释，由此可推知，选项c“误食口香糖要紧吗”最适合作为文章标题。阅读理解解读global positioning systems are now a part of everyday driving in many countries. these satellitebased systems provide turnbyturn directions to help people get to where they want to go. but they can also cause a lot of problems, sending you to the wrong place or leave you completely lost. many times, the driver is to blame. sometimes a gps error is responsible. most often, says barry brown, it is a combination of the two.barry brown is with the mobile life centre in stockholm, sweden. the center studies humancomputer interaction, or hci, especially communications involving wireless devices. we spoke to mr brown by skype. he told us about an incident involving a friend who had flown to an airport in the eastern united states. there he borrowed a gpsequipped car to use during his stay.barry brown：“and they just plugged in an address and then set off to their destination.” and, then it wasnt until they were driving for thirty minutes that they realized they had put in a destination back on the west coast where they lived. they actually put their home address in. so again, the_gps_is_kind_of_“garbage_in_garbage_out”mr brown says this is a common human error. but, he says, what makes the problem worse has to do with some of the shortcomings, or failures, of gps equipment.barry brown：“one problem with many gps units is they have a very small screen and they just tell you the next turn. because they just give you the next turn, sometimes that means that it is not really giving you the overview that you would need to know that its going to the wrong place.”barry brown formerly served as a professor with the university of california, san diego. while there, he worked on a project with eric laurier from the university of edinburgh. the two men studied the effects of gps devices on driving by placing cameras in peoples cars. they wrote a paper based on their research. it is called “the normal, natural troubles of driving with gps.”barry brown: “one of the things that struck us, perhaps the most important thing was that you have to know what youre doing when you use a gps. there are these new skills that people have developed. there are these new competencies that you need to have to be able to use a gps because they sometimes go wrong.”barry brown says this goes against a common belief that gps systems are for passive drivers who lack navigational (导航) skills.“the normal, natural troubles of driving with gps” lists several areas where gps systems can cause confusion for drivers. these include map
