only to go to one of the important matches to see this. rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for their teams. 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 thinks will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times of 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 boys mind with facts in the classroom; education 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 his or her team instead of working for himself or herself alone. therefore the school plans games and matches for its students. football is a good team game. it is good both for the body and the mind.that is why it is every schools game in england. 56. in england, boys opinion of a match is often . a. three or four times better than that of a man b. worse that that of man c. as good as that of a man d. worth thinking three or four times57. in england, education means . a. filling a boys mind with stories b. more than the teaching of knowledgec. the teaching of knowledge only d. training character by means of football games58. football games are very popular in england among . a. all people b. grown-ups c. boys only d. boys and girls59. from the passage, we learn that . a. schools in england make use of football games for the training of characterb. england is better than all the european countriesc. football is more important than lessonsd. only some schools in england have football games ( b ) for several years, americans have enjoyed teleshoppingwatching tv and buying things by phone. now teleshopping is starting in europe. in a number of european countries, people can turn on their tvs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.teleshopping is becoming popular in sweden, for example. the biggest swedish company sells different kinds of things on tv in 15 european countries, and in one year it made 100 million. in france there are two teleshopping channels, and the french spend about 20 million a year to buy things through those channels.in germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. then the government allowed more telepshopping. other channels can open for telebusinesses, including the largest american teleshopping company and a 24hour teleshopping company. german businesses are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. with all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. but at the same time, other europeans do not like this new way of shopping. they call teleshopping “junk on the air”. many europeans usually worry about the quality(质量) of the things for sale on tv. good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on tv.the need for high quality means that european teleshopping companies will have to be different from the american companies. they will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. they will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.60. by teleshopping, people can look at the things_. a. on tv and then go to buy them b. on the computer and then go to buy them c. on tv and then buy them by phone d. on the computer and then buy them by phone.61. some europeans like teleshopping mainly because_ . a. they can get cheaper things b. they can buy things of good quality c. the traffic is heavy d. they can get better service62. the phrase“ junk on the air” in the fourth paragraph stands for_ . a. goods of low quality introduced on tv b. rubbish in the air c .useless things in the sky d. useless things produced in europe63. for the goods that the buyers cant touch or see in person, the european teleshopping companies have to_ . a. lower their prices b. put into more energy to sell them c. make them more beautiful d. send more workers to sell them ( c ) the americans believe that anybody can become president of the united states.in a recent hollywood comedy（喜剧）,that is exactly what happens.dave kovic,played by kevin kline,is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs.he leads a typical american way of life,except for one thinghe looks exactly like the president,bill mitchell.in fact,the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!the president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances.dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one.however,things go wrong.the president becomes very ill and dave ends up acting as the president forever.director ivan reitman,who made the popular and successful comedies like twins,ghostbusters and legal eagles,could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the american government.instead,dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations.kevin kline gives a double performance as dave and the president,and sigourney weaver is at her best as his first lady.the love story that develops between her role and dave is a real classic.the film is 100% american.however,if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power,then youll enjoy dave!64. what is the purpose of the text? a.to tell the reader about the american government. b.to discuss the americansideas about the president. c.to make a comparison between dave and other films. d.to introduce a new film to the reader.65. who plays the role

d.the author wishes to become the american president.（ d ） do you want to live another 100 years or more?some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to live tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.“i think we are knocking at the door of immortality (永生),”said michael zey,a montclair state university business professor and author of two books on the future.“i think by 2075 we will see it and thats a conservative estimate(保守的估计).”at the conference in san francisco,donald louria,a professor at new jersey medical school in newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology (纳米技术) make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past.“there is a great push so that people can live from 120 to 180 years,”he said.“some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years.”however,many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years.even with healthier lifestyles and less disease,they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live.“it remains to be seen if you pass 120,you know;could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life?” said leonard poon,director of the university of georgia gerontology centre.“at present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all.”68. by saying “we are knocking at the door of immortality”,michael zey means_. a.they believe that there is no limit of living. b.they are sure to find the truth about long living. c.they have got some ideas about living forever. d.they are able to make people live past the present life span.69. donald lourias attitude toward long living is that_. a.people can live from 120 to 180 b.it is still doubtful how long humans can live. c.the human body is designed to last past about 120 years. d.it is possible for humans to live longer in the future.70. the underlined word “it” (paragraph 4) refers to _.a.a great push. b.the idea of living beyond the present life span.c.the idea of living from 200 to 300 years. d.the conservative estimate.71. what would be the best title for this text?a.living longer or not b.science,technology and long living.c.no limit for human life. d.healthy lifestyle and long living.
