(A)Womens basketball began in the winter of 1892 at Smith College. Senda Berenson, an instructor at Smith, taught basketball to her students, hoping the activity would improve their physical health. Basketballs early supporters were affiliated with YMCAs(The Young Mens Christian Association) and colleges throughout the United States, and the game quickly spread throughout the country.However, Berenson was taking risks simply in teaching the game to women. She worried a little about the women suffering from nervous fatigue if games were too strenuous for them. And, in order to keep it acceptable for women to play at all, she taught modified rules. These included a court divided into three areas and nine players per team. Three players were assigned to each area (guard, center, forward) and could not cross the line into another area. The ball was moved from section to section by passing or dribbling. Players were limited to three dribbles and could hold the ball for three seconds. No snatching or batting the ball away from a player was allowed. A center jump was required after each score. Peach baskets and the soccer ball were the equipment. Variations of Berensons rules spread across the country via YMCAs and colleges. The first intercollegiate womens basketball game was played between teams from Stanford University and the University of California, Berkeley, in 1896. The popularity of womens basketball grew steadily around the world for decades. By the 1970s the sport had attracted the notice the International Olympic Committee, which added womens basketball as an official sport of the Olympic Games in 1976.The Womens World Cup was created by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA). It began in 1953, held in Chile, three years after the first mens World Championship. For most of its early history, it was not held in the same year as the mens championship. After the 1983 event, FIBA changed the scheduling so that the womens tournament would be held in even-numbered non-Olympic years, a change that had come to the mens tournament in 1970.Only four nations have won titles in the history of the Womens World Cup. The United States has won the title nine times, including six of the last eight. The Soviet Union won six titles, including five in a row from 1959 to 1975.

Singing, dancing, baking Volunteer(C)When we perceive other people, we seldom describe a person in cold and objective words. “She was 5 feet 8 inches tall, had fair hair, and wore a colored skirt.” More often, we try to get inside the other person to pinpoint his or her attitudes, emotions, motivations, abilities, ideas and characters. Furthermore, we sometimes behave as if we can accomplish this difficult job very quicklyperhaps with a two-second glance.We try to obtain information about others in many ways. Social scientist Berger suggests several methods for reducing uncertainties about others: watching, without being noticed, a person interacting with others, particularly with others who are known to you so you can compare the observed persons behavior with the known others behavior; observing a person in a situation where social behavior is relatively unrestrained or where a wide variety of behavioral responses are called for; deliberately structuring the physical or social environment so as to observe the persons responses to specific stimuli; asking people who have had or have frequent contact with the person about him or her; and using various strategies in face-to-face interaction to uncover information about another person: questions, self-disclosures (自我表露), and so on. Getting to know someone is a never-ending task, largely because people are constantly changing and the methods we use to obtain information are often imprecise. You may have known someone for ten years and still know very little about him. If we accept the idea that we wont ever fully know another person, it enables us to deal more easily with those things that get in the way of accurate knowledge such as secrets and deceptions. It will also keep us from being too surprised or shocked by seemingly inconsistent (前后不一致) behavior. Ironically those things that keep us from knowing another person too well (e.g., secrets and deceptions) may be just as important to the development of satisfying relationship as those things that enable us to obtain accurate knowledge about a person (e.g., disclosure and truthful statements).73.

Getting to know a person is usually no easy job.75. It can be inferred from Bergers suggestions that _.A. people do not reveal their true self on every occasionB. the best way to know a person is by making comparisonsC. in most cases we should avoid contacting the observed person directlyD. face-to-face interaction is the best strategy to uncover information about a person76. The authors purpose in writing the passage is to _.A. discuss the various aspects of getting to know people B. provide ways of how to obtain information about people C. warn readers of the negative side of peoples characters D. give advice on appropriate behaviors for social occasionsSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully.

(77) _ A good review is not just a summary of a movie, but a critical analysis that examines why and how a movie works and whether the film succeeds in its presentation.When writing a film review, always consider who the intended audience is for the film and the audience you are writing for.
