73 think how many lovers to skate or ski in japan, norway or canada.some sports or game go back thousands of years like running or jumping. chinese wushu, for example, has a very long history. but basketball and volleyball are rather new. neither one is a hundred years old yet. 74 water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.people from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. 75 one learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.a.and think of people in cold countries.b.sports help to train a persons character.c.not a few people participate in different sports competitions themselves.d.many people like to watch others play games.e.people arent inventing new sports or games.f.some sports are so interesting that people everywhere take part in them.g.people are inventing new sports or games all the time.第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分） 第一节短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处，每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加：把缺词处加一个漏符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1每处错误及其修改均仅限一词； 2只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。may i have you attention please? i have a little things to tell you. when you have a class here in the language lab, please be here a little early. ch
