Theyre almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husbands favorite season. Americas devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people -professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball giant Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.56.

You can get there by sea. It is an interesting place and it had a long history. Macao is part of China and most people living there are Chinese.The first Europeans to go to Macao came from Portugal. More than four hundred years ago the Portuguese went there to trade with China. Some settled and made their homes there. They built strong forts to guard the city and the harbor. They also built churches, schools, hospitals and other places. Slowly the city grew. People from many countries came to live and work in Macao.Today many people visit Macao. Some only go there to watch dog-racing or motor-racing or to gamble with their money. But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place. It is pleasant just to walk around and look at old buildings and forts. You feel you are back in the old days. Of course, some of the buildings are now in ruins. The Church of St. Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it. But it is still interesting to see.When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. when you are hungry, there are good restaurants with many kinds of food. Nearby there are some islands, which are also nice and are easy to get to. There is certainly a lot to do in Macao. 60. Macao is easy to get to because_.

Macao is a quiet and peaceful place with a lot to see and to doCIn the society nowadays, people always throw a lot away , solving the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council (市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of (处理) about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of much of it in a green manner - largely through encouraging recycling - its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it. The European Union (EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh, East Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders) face fines around 18 million a year from 2013 if they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfill. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant (垃圾焚烧厂) to burn half of the waste produced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company which already transported millions of tons of the citys waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello. Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soon they refused it after 700 local objections reached them because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfill. Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.64. The main way of handling waste in a green manner in Edinburgh is _ A. recycling B. restoring C. burying D. burning65. The five councils worked out a plan to build an incinerator plant to _. A. reduce the cost of burying waste B. meets the EU requirements C. speed up waste recycling D. replace landfill sites66. The city council of Edinburgh refused the suggestion to open a huge landfill site near Portobello because _. A. it came from a private company B. the council was not interested in it C. it was not supported by EU D. the local people were against it67. What is the final decision of Edinburgh and Midlothian councils? A. To open a new landfill nearby. B. To close the Powderhall landfill in 2015. C. To set up an incinerator plant for burning waste. D. To persuade people to reduce their waste.DOf all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest?There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animals memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animals intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephants brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimps brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant-more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!68. Which is the best title ? A. The Elephants MemoryB. The Cleverest Animal C. Judging IntelligenceD. The Chimps Brain 69. According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is_ A. as clever as a chimpB.
