Wet and unhappy, he walked along the streets, feeling as if there was 22 in the entire world that cared about whether he lived or died 23 , I was sitting in my room watching the rain hit my window. When I heard the doorbell ring, I jumped from my chair and 24 out. But my mother was already at the door.

Downstairs, Mark sat quietly with his head bowed(低着) . Tears streamed down his face as he tightly held that coin. Finally looking 32 at my parents, he said, “Its 33 that I thought nobody cared. For the last twenty years, I have been so 34 . That is the first hug(拥抱) I have ever got. Its hard to believe that somebody 35 .” Marks life changed that night.

They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores. They dont care much about who wins or loses, and it doesnt seem to worry them if the game is not finished. Yet, they like games that depend a lot on luck, so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared. They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself. Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting, and they often feel puzzled（迷惑的）at why their kids play such simple games again and again. However, it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person, and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn. He can be confident, too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead, to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kiss someone he has caught. It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control. Everyone knows the rules, and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules. Those rules may be childish, but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.41. What is true about children when they play games?A. They can stop playing any time they like. B. They can test their personal abilities.C. They want to pick a better team. D. They dont need rules.42. To become a leader in a game the child has to _.A. play wellB. wait for his turnC. be confident in himselfD. be popular among his playmates43. Why does a child like playing games?A. Because he can be someone other than himself.B. Because he can become popular among friends.C. Because he finds he is always lucky in games.D. Because he likes the place where he plays a game.44. The writer believes that _.A. children should make better rules for their games.B. children should invite grown-ups to play with them.C. childrens games can do them a lot of good.D. children play games without reasons.BIf you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson,” and “Webster,” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didnt even speak EnglishWilliam the Conqueror(征服者). Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived people belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German. But this state of affairs did not last. In l066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating. When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more foreign than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one mans ambition（雄心）.45. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before l066 were_ .A. Welsh and Scottish! B. Nordic and GermanicC. Celtic and Old English. D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic46. Which of the following groups of words are, by inference(根据推断), rooted in French? A. president, lawyer, beefB. president, bread, waterC. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow47. Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe? A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.B. They know little of the history of the English language. C. Many French words are similar to English ones.D. They know French better than German.48. What is the subject discussed in the text? A. The history of Great Britain.B. The similarity between English and French.C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.D. The French influences on the English languageCJames Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.“J.C.”, he replied.She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic (体育的) but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners. “It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didnt go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.Owens Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs. “Sure, it bothered(烦扰) me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”49. In the Big Ten meet, Owens _.A. hurt himself in the backB. succeeded in setting many recordsC. tried every sports event but failedD. had to give up some events50. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because _.A. he was not of the right raceB. he was the son of a poor farmerC. he didnt shake hands with HitlerD. he didnt talk to the US president on the phone51. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals _.A. have been changed for money to help him live onB. have made him famous in the USC. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in lifeD. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs52. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. How to Be a Successful Athlete?B. Golden Momenta Life-time StruggleC. Making a Living as a SportsmanD.
