billiards(台球)style game enjoyed by millions of people around the world.But how did this game come into being?The birth of snooker comes from the 19th century when British Army officers stationed in India.These officers often played billiards but the game only had two players.In order to play with many players, more balls were introduced to the match and more players began to play in each game.The new games that formed were called Black Pool and Life Pool.They finally combined in the late 19th century to create the game of snooker.It was named by a British Army officer Sir Neville Chamberlain, with “Snooker” then being another expression for a first year army students.Sir Neville Chamberlain once said that one of the players was a “real snooker” and ever since the name has been called.The new sport didnt become popular until 1916 and the first world championship in 1927 was won by Joe Davis.After that, snooker continued to increase in popularity(流行) throughout the UK and the world snooker championship was held once a year.Davis continued to lead the professional game by winning every world championship up until his retirement in 1946 after he won the world championship.Throughout the 1950s and 60s snooker declined(下降) in popularity with the British public until television came along and saved the unpopular sport.Colour television greatly increased the popularity of the game and it received huge numbers of television audiences across the UK.Snooker is now by far the most popular sports in the UK as well as being hugely popular in many other countries including China.With many new players coming to play snooker, the future of snooker looks bright for many years to come.【语篇解读】桌球是一种和台球性质差不多的体育活动。它的流行有一个传奇的过程，你想了解吗？21How did snooker get its name?AIt was named by an Indian army officer.BIt was named by a first year army student.CThe UK government gave its name.DA British army officer named it.答案D细节判断题。根据第二段中的It was named by an British Army officer Sir Neville Chamberlain可知D为正确选项。22It can be inferred from the passage that _Asnooker is only popular with young people all around the worldBtelevision plays an important part in the popularity of snookerCsnooker had been popular since it was invented by some officersDno one had won world snooker championship since Davis retired答案B推理判断题。根据第四段内容可知，电视特别是彩色电视对桌球的流行起了很大的作用。23How many championships had Davis won before he retired?A19. B30. C10. D5.答案A细节判断题。Davis在1927年第一次赢得冠军，到1946年获得冠军后退休，可知他一共赢得19次冠军。BThe rubber that is used in running tracks is black or colored, and can be made of natural rubber or other kinds of rubber.So much so for the material and process of manufacturing a running track, now let us try to weigh its pros and cons.Pros of the Rubber Running TrackLowmaintenance.In the early days of competitive track and field, grass, cinder, and sand were used as running tracks, which proved to be a lowcost affair, initially.However, the maintenance of these natural surfaces involved a great deal of investment.While todays running tracks of rubber have a high initial cost of installation, they do not require frequent maintenance, and are lasting for at least 10 years.Also, resurfacing the track may even further extend its life up to 15 years or more.Lowered Risk of Injury.When we compare a rubber running track with concrete or asphalt pavements, the former proves a better option for your feet.Paved roads or asphalt running tracks are more likely to cause stress fractures and similar injuries to the athletes because the hard surface puts excessive pressure on the leg muscles, bones, and tendons, which does not happen with the softer surface of the rubber track.Enhanced Speed.For a runner, reaction time is vital while running.The lesser the reaction time, faster the return of energy to the runners foot.The latex or polyurethane surface expands and contracts quickly enough to act as a springboard, and give energy back to the runner for his/her next stride.This ultimately increases the speed of the athlete.Cons of the Rubber Running TrackAffected by Weather Change.One of the major disadvantages of the rubber running track is that it gets affected by temperature.While it becomes harder during the cold weather, during summers it turns softer.This change in the track surface can have adverse effects on the comfort level as well overall performance of the runner.Higher Installation Cost.The biggest disadvantage of a rubber running track may be its cost.Therefore, considering the longterm validity of a rubber track, the money spent in buying and installation should not affect your budget greatly, because in the long run, the synthetic or rubber track will prove to be more costeffective.Health Concerns.Around 6% people experience allergic reactions after coming in contact with latex, a substance found in natural rubber.Runners may be exposed to latex allergens through direct contact with the skin while running on the track.24Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?ADifferent kinds of running tracks all around the worldBAdvantages and disadvantages of rubber running trackCThe best way to avoid most common running injuriesDThe benefits of indoor and outdoor running tracks答案B主旨大意题。文章主要从几个方面说明了橡胶跑道的优点和缺点。文章第一段为主题段，下面列出了两个标题，分别说明橡胶跑道的优点和缺点。25What does the author want to express by writing this article?AEvery coin has two sides. BChanges only favour prepared minds. COverdone is worse than undone.DWhere there is a will, there is a way.答案A推理判断题。文章说明橡胶跑道既有优点又有缺点，所表达的意思是“事物都是一分为二的”这个道理。26It can be known from the passage that rubber running tracks _Aneed a great deal of investment to maintain Bare easy to cause injuries to your feetCcan increases the speed of the runnersDkeep the same temperature all the year round答案C细节理解题。根据短文中的and give energy back to the runner for his/her next stride.This ultimately increases the speed of the athlete.可知，橡胶跑道可以提高跑步者的速度。CWhen she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but a solid wall of fog.Her body was numb (麻木的)She had been swimming for nearly sixteen hours.Already she was the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions.Now, at age 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast.On the morning of July 4th, 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so thick that she could hardly see her support boats.The wind was strong and it was raining heavily.Against the cold water of the sea, she struggled onhour after hour.Millions of people at home were watching her in front of the television.In one of the boats, her mother and her trainer tried their best to encourage her.They told her it wasnt much farther.But all she could see was fog.They urged her not to give up.She never had.until then.With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out.After thawing her cold body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, Im not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her.It was the fog.She was unable to see her goal.Two months later, she tried again.This time, despite the same thick fog, she swam with all her strength and her goal clearly pictured in her mind.She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel! 【语篇解读】Florence Chadwick是第一个从卡特琳娜岛游到加州海岸的人。第一次，她失败了。为什么呢？因为大雾，她看不到自己的目标！27The reason why Florence Chadwick gave up for the first time was that _Athe sea water was very coldBshe was too tired to swimCshe couldnt see her goalDshe was lost in the sea答案C细节判断题。根据文章第四段中的It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her.It was the fog.She was unable to see her goal.可知，造成Florence Chadwick放弃的原因是因为她看不到自己的目标。28What do you know about Florence Chadwick?AShe was 34 years old when she was swimming the Catalina Channel.BShe was a woman who never gave up when facing difficulties.CShe had few supporters except her mother and her trainer.DShe was the first person who swim the Catalina Channel.答案A细节理解题。根据第二段及第三段第一句可知答案。29The underlined word “thawing” in Paragraph 5 has the same meaning as _Atidying Bwarming Cequipping Dshaking答案B词义猜测题。根据课文意思可知，当时的海水非常寒冷，Florence Chadwick被拉出海水后，当然是要取暖，故B为正确选项。30The writer of the passage wants to tell us a truth that _Aa clear goal is necessary for successBone should never mind other peoples words Csuccess cant be achieved for the first tryDone should not risk doing what seems impossible答案A推理判断题。本文说明了Florence Chadwick第一次横渡Catalina Channel没有成功的原因是因为没有明确的目标，第二次有了明确的目标后，成功渡过Catalina Channel，因此可以推测，清晰的目标对获得成功来说是必须的。第二节(共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Five great unusual study spaces1Independent coffee shopsNowadays, independently owned coffee shops are found everywhere in the city._31_You can study in the quiet spot without being disturbed while enjoying a cup of coffee and your favorite snacks.2OutsideReading outdoors is not possible for the entire year.But the spring, summer, and fall can provide students with the perfect mix of light, noise, and breeze for ideal studying.Throughout the city there are parks and squares where you will be able to find your perfect spot._32_3Student spacesThis suggestion may seem obvious at first.However, students tend to pick th
