This is because they confuse it with sideline (n. 副业) cheerleading. These are two different activities. (16) Sideline cheerleaders entertain the crowd during a sports match and encourage them to support their team. But in competitive cheerleading, two teams of cheerleaders compete against each other. Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Cheerleaders must be strong, and they must learn to work with other teammates. (17) Sports like football and basketball have laws which the players follow, and so does competitive cheerleading. The cheerleaders have to stay within a certain area, and complete their routine within 3 minutes and 15 seconds. According to the National Center for Catastrophic (/ktstrfk/ a. 灾难的) Sport Injury Research, cheer-leading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women. This is partly because they do not wear any protective gear (n. 装置), like helmets (n. 头盔) or knee pads (n. 护膝). Its also because they often do not have proper training facilities. (18) Schools rarely provide good facilities because they do not recognise cheerleading as a sport. So why do many people think cheerleading is not a sport? Perhaps it is because cheerleading is not a ball sport, and cheerleaders do not score points or win races. However, the same is true of wrestling (n. 摔跤), diving (n. 跳水), gymnastics (/dimnstiks /n. 体操) and many other sports. (19)Perhaps it is because people see cheerleaders as entertainers(n. 演艺人员), not competitors, but this is not fair; cheerleaders today compete against other teams, and they have to train hard, just like other athletes.Questions 16 to 19 are based on the passage you have just heard.16. Q: What does the speaker say about sideline cheerleaders?A) They entertain the crowd during matches. B) They often compete against each other. C) They score points in the sports games. D) They ask the crowd to support them.答案 A). 详解 文章首段指出,拉拉队运动有两种,一种是竞技性拉拉队,一种是场外拉拉队,场外拉拉队队员在比赛期间愉悦观众,鼓动观众支持自己的队伍,故选A)。17. Q: What do we learn about competitive cheerleading from the passage?A) It enjoys popularity among all people. B) It involves little physical activity. C) It has regulations to follow. D) It is a rather safe sport.答案 C). 详解 文中指出,就像篮球或者足球运动中球员要遵守比赛规则一样,竞技性拉拉队队员也需要遵守一定的比赛规则,故选C)项。18. Q: Why do schools seldom provide good facilities for cheerleaders?A) They dont view cheerleading as a sport. B) They are not interested in cheerleading. C) They hold prejudice against women. D) They are in shortage of funds.答案 A). 详解 文中指出，学校很少会为拉拉队运动提供好设施，因为他们不承认拉拉队运动是一种体育运动，故选A)项。19. Q: What does the speaker find to be unfair?A) Cheerleaders being viewed as entertainers. B) Cheerleaders being treated as competitors.C) Cheerleading being neglected. D) Athletes being despised. (a. 受轻视的) 答案 A). 详解 短文结尾处指出,很多人否认拉拉队运动是一种体育运动，也许是因为他们视拉拉队队员为表演者而非竞技者,但这并不公平,故选A)项。Passage Two听前预测 由选项中的films, film-making等词推测短文可能与电影有关。20题考查与he有关的行为；21题考查职业；22题考查某种行为。 Pawel Pawlikowski was born in Warsaw in 1957. His interest in films, and in British films in particular, began quite early. His mother taught English at Warsaw University, and she had a free pass to the British Council. (20) Pawlikowski went there regularly and saw lots of British films - although he didnt speak English at the time! He says, “I couldnt understand anything in the films, but the images on the screen stayed with me.” His favourite British films are still the films he saw when he was a child. When he was a teenager, he moved to Britain with his family and studied languages, literature and philosophy at university in London. (21) He started out in the film industry by directing documentaries for the BBC, and won several awards for them, before he gradually moved into drama. People think that because he was not born in Britain, he sees Britain from a different viewpoint. That experience of being an outsider has stayed with him. For example, his film Last Resort is about the experiences of a Russian woman who comes with her son to live in Britain. Pawlikowski now lives in Oxford and works at Oxford Brookes University, where he is doing research into film-making in Britain today, and helping students who are doing a degree in Film Studies. (22)But he will continue to make his own films because, he says, “Every good film is a bit like a dream., l want to create a little world that will stay with the audience.”Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.20.
