is I believe the most important game in England one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this Rich and poor young and old one can see them all there shouting for one side or the other To a stranger one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches He will tell you who he expects will win such a match and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age Most schools in England take football seriously much more seriously than nearly all European schools where lessons are all that are important and games are left for the children themselves In England it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy s mind with facts in classroom it also means the training of character by means of games especially team games where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone The school therefore plays games and matches for its pupils Football is a good team game it is good for both body and mind That is why it is every school s game in England 31 In paragraph 1 this means A people often shout at each other in a football match B people rich and poor young and old often play football 3 C football is the most popular game in England D people usually go to the important matches 32 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A English children have more knowledge of football than adults B Nearly all European schools consider lessons the most important C It is surprising that English children have great knowledge of football D English schools attach more importance to football than nearly all European schools 33 What does education mean in England A Filling a boy mind with facts B Teaching how to work with others for the team C Training character by means of games D More than the teaching of knowledge 34 From the passage we learn that A football is popular mostly among English children B schools in England make use of football for the training of body and mind C football is more important than lessons in England D other European schools consider football unimportant B B A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away That s the finding of a study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce 盎司 of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits particularly to the heart Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States with more than 550 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do There are fewer heart disease deaths for example among the Eskimos of Greenland who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day and among the Japanese whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces For 20 years the Dutch study followed 852 middle aged men 20 percent of whom ate no fish At the start of the study average fish consumption was about two thirds of an ounce each day with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish During the next two decades 78 of the men died from heart disease The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age high blood pressure or blood cholesterol 胆固醇 levels 35 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage A The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease B People who regularly eat fish never suffer from hear disease C Heart disease causes more deaths in America than any other disease D There is a low level of heart disease in such countries as Japan and Greenland 36 The underlined words lean fish paragraph 5 roughly mean A large fish B fresh fish C fish that live in salt water D fish that have little fat 37 The passage is mainly about A the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B the effect of fish eating on people s health C the changes in people s diet D the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures 4 38 The phrase this relationship paragraph 6 refers to the connection between and the level of heart disease A the amount of fish eaten B regular fish eating C the kind of fish eaten D people of different areas C For years scientists have been worried about the effects of air pollution on the earth s natural conditions Some believe the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside It may be one hundred times worse Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired to suffer eye pain headache and other problems Some pollutants 污染物 can cause breathing disorders diseases of blood and even cancer Most scientists agree that every modern house has some kind of indoor pollution People have paid more attention to the problem now It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside and outside They also began using man made building materials These materials are now known to let out harmful gases As the problem became more serious scientists began searching for a way to deal with it They discovered a natural pollution control system for building green plants Scientists do not really know how plants control air pollution They believe that a plant s leaves absorb 吸收 or take in the pollutants In exchange the plant lets out oxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plants inside for every nine square metres of space Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place 39 Generally speaking indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because A indoor air pollution can often make people seriously ill B man made building materials give off dangerous gases C there may be more harmful gases outside the buildings D the flow of air indoors is limited which is very harmful 40 Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in A every modern house B every old houseC all kinds of housesD all kinds of offices 41 The indoor air pollution is caused by A the limit of the flow of air between inside and outside B the building way that the builders want to save energy C the building things that are made of man made materials D the man made building materials and the limit of air flow 42 The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that A plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoors B plants may take in more oxygen which people need C plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicals E plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy D New York When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8 48 am on Tuesday the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant 瞬间的 damage to the other tower realized clearly what they too must do get out fast Katherine Ilachinsiki who had been knocked off her chair by the blast 一阵 of heat exploding from the neighboring tower was one of those Despite her 70 years of age Mrs Ilachinsiki an architect working on the 91st floor of 2 World Trade Center the south tower went for the stairs Twelve floors above her Judy Wein an executive 经理 cried sharply and set off too But others up and down the 110 floors many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening were not so sure And the 18 minutes before the next plane would hit were ticking off Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do formal announcements inside the south tower 5 asked people to stay put assuring 使 确信 them that the building was sound and the threat 威胁 was limited to the other tower Some left others stayed Some began to climb down and when met with more announcements and other cautions 警告 to stop or return went back up The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed 坠落 碰撞 into the south tower One of those caught in indecision 犹豫不决 was the executive at Fuji Bank USA Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers but on the 48th floor they heard the announcement that the situation was under control Several got in the lifts and went back up two minutes or so before the plane crashed into their floor I just don t know what happened to them Mr Jacobs said 43 From the passage we know that the south tower was hit by the plane A at 8 30B 18 minutes earlier than the north tower C at around 9 06D at 8 48 44 The underlined words stay put means A stay in the buildingB leave at once C put everything back and then leaveD keep silent 45 Which floor was hit by the second plane A The 91st floorB The 103rd floorC The 60th floorD The 79th floor 46 Fewer people would have died if A more announcements had been madeB people hadn t used the lifts C the attack had happened on a weekendD the people had obeyed the office rules E Paloalto California Turning off the television may help prevent children from getting fatter even if they do not change their diet US researchers said last week A study of 192 third and fourth graders generally aged eight and nine found that children who cut the number of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds 0 91kg less over a one year period than those who did not change their television diet The findings are important because they show that weight loss can only be the result of a reduction in television viewing and not any other activity said Thomas Robinson a pediatrician 儿科专家 at Stanford University American children spend an average of more than four hours per day watching television and videos or playing video games And rates of childhood being very fat have doubled over the past 20 years Robinsin said In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco the researchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one quarter to one third Children watching fewer hours of television showed a much smaller increase in waist 腰 size and had less body fat than other students who continued their normal television viewing even though neither group ate a special diet nor took part in any extra exercise One explanation for the weight loss could be the children unstuck to the television may simply have been moving around more and burning off calories Robinson said Another reason might be eating fewer meals in front of the television Some studies have suggested that eating in front of the TV encourages people to eat more Robinson said 47 The report tells us that children will get fatter if they A eat in front of the TVB change their diet C do special exercisesD spend much time watching TV 48 According to the report the time American children usually spend on watching TV and videos or playing video games A is four hours a day or moreB is less than four hours a day C has doubled in the last 20 yearsD has been reduced to one quarter 49 The time some children were persuaded to spend on TV viewing every day was less than A one hourB two hoursC three hoursD four hours 50 Watching TV will increase kid s weight because A they usually eat more and move less B they no longer take part in outdoor activities 6 C they will not burn off calories D they will enjoy having meals in front of the television 第二节第二节 信息匹配 共信息匹配 共 5 小题 每小题小题 每小题 2 分
