It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind, football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no manmade rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are, of course, rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a “team game”. We should be mistaken in this. There are, it is true, no “matches” between teams of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously team work. The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties. But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.( ) 56. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Differences between Golf and Mountaineering.B. Sports and Games.C. Mountaineering.D. Why are so many people crazy about mountaineering?( ) 57. The mountaineering can also be called a team sport because _.A. mountain climbers usually compete in groupsB. mountaineers depend on each other while climbingC. mountaineering climbers are free to use their won rules to climbD. mountaineering is a sport not a game( ) 58. The biggest difference between golf and mountaineering lies in _.A. team gameB. enjoymentC. ageD. rules( ) 59. In the authors opinion, one of the most important reason why so many people enjoy mountaineering is that _.A. there are no man-made rules for mountaineersB. mountaineering is a sport and not a gameC. it is one of the most dangerous sportsD. mountaineering brings us more enjoyment than other sportsBThe Olympic Games are seen as the greatest test of an athletes ability and are supposed to celebrate the spirit of fair play. But in fact, sportsmen have been using drugs to cheat their way to victory since the Games first began.In the early years, athletes ate mushrooms(蘑菇)and plant seeds to improve their performance. Nowadays, this kind of cheating has a name doping(服用兴奋剂).Just last month, Britains top sprinter(赛跑选手) Dwain Chambers and several American athletes tested positive(呈阳性)for the drug THG. Until a coach secretly gave a sample of THG to scientists, no one knew how ho test for it.“Were like cops(警察)chasing criminalsathletes are always adapting and looking for areas we havent investigated,” said Jacquew de Ceaurriz, a French anti-doping expert.Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, many cheats have been caught out. The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson. He broke the 100 meters world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seoul(汉城)Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to actiononly to be found positive again and banned forever.China has also had problems with drug cheats. At the 1994 Asian Games, 11 Chinese athletesseven of them swimmerstested positive for banned drugs. Sports organizations promised that cheating on this scale would not happen again.Experts are also worried that doping can damage a persons health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney(肝肾)diseases, and women may experience reproductive(生育) problems. As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achieved and that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene(基因)technology.“For the moment, genetic doping does not exist,” said de Ceaurriz. “Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easilythe scientific community(界)will not let it happen.”( ) 60. Which of the following is not the way that some athletes cheat to their better sports achievements?A. Eating mushrooms.B. Taking drug THG.C. Taking genetic doping.D. Eating plant seeds.( ) 61. How many countries are mentioned in the passage in which there were athletes doping?A. Two.B. Four.C. Sic.D. Eight.( ) 62. We can infer from the passage that _.A. scientists get a lot of information about drugs before the athletes take dopingB. taking doping will never happen again because of the serious testC. few athletes used drug cheats before the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 OlympicsD. problems with drug cheats are still serious though they are severely tested( ) 63. Which statement of the following is true?A. Many police are sent to chase criminals of taking doping during the Olympic Games.B. The drug test was carried out until the 1968 Olympics.C. There is the possibility that women athletes taking doping will give no birth to a child.D. Ben Johnson was banned from sports forever for being tested positive for drug use at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.CFive-time world overall short-track speed skating champion Yang Yang(A)won Chinas first-ever Winter Olympic gold medal with a runaway victory in the 500m final on Saturday.Yang Yang, putting behind her a dismal fourth place finish in the 1,500 meters three days ago, got off to a sparking lead and never looked back to cross the line in 44.187 seconds.World-record holder and four-time European champion Evgenia Radanova followed home 0.065 seconds behind.Another Chinese, Wang Chunju, the world champion in the shortest distance came in third, two-hundredths of a second further behind.Yang, 25, whose name is tagged with the letter A to distinguish her from her younger teammate and namesake, Yang Yang(S), is the overall World Cup winner this season, with the top points in the 1,000m and 1,500m.In the 1,500m, the younger Yang, 24, who won two silver medals in Nagano four years ago, crashed out while chasing herd after two South Korean teenagers, KoGi-Hyun and Choi Eun-Kyungm who eventually finished first and second. Yang Yang(A) ended up fourth.Yang Yang(S) did not compete in the 500 meters.( ) 64. What day was the day when Yang Yang(A) competed in the 1,500 meters?A. Saturday.B. Friday.C. Thursday.D. Wednesday.( ) 65. How long did Evgenia Radanova take to finish the 500m final?A. 44.252 seconds.B. 44.187 seconds.C. 44.122 seconds.D. None of the above.( ) 66. Why did not Yang Yang(S) compete in the 500 meters?A. She did want to.B. She was wounded.C. She was not qualified.D. It was not mentioned.( ) 67. What does the underlined word “finish” in the second paragraph mean?A. Completing.B. Stopping.C. Starting.D. Quitting.DSome people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence(本质) of sport-seeking for personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. A single persons representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself; he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nations hopes, dreams and fame.A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the greatest of international sporting success. Mention “Argentina” to someone and the chances are that hell think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “put Argentina on the map”.Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational(失去理性的) about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1996. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses and spent all their money traveling to Argentina where the finals were played.So am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sports? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved that most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But its known that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.( ) 68. What is the writers main purpose in the passage?A. To explain the role of sport.B. To compare Scotland with Argentina.C. To show that Argentina is better than all others.D. To prove that football is the worlds most important sport.( ) 69. According to the passage, Argentina is world famous because of its _.A. clear position on the mapB. successes in the football World CupC. excellence at all important sportsD. large number of sports fans and supporters( ) 70. According to the passage, if a sportsman thinks about winning, he will _.A. be irrationalB. be successfulC. fail to succeedD. lose enjoyment( ) 71. What is the writers attitude towards international games?A. Nations that meet on football are unlikely to meet on a battle field.B. Nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least.C. Nations that win the football World Cup are considered as best in all ways.D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.( ) 72. From this passage, we can infer that _.A. We should learn from EnglandB. We should play football only for fun, not for fame C. We should learn from ArgentinaD. We should give chances for other countries to win the World CupESports is not only physically challenging, but it can also mentally challenging. Criticism(批评)from coaches(trainers), parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has showed that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how to cooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware(realize), at all times, that their feedback(反馈)to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents and coaches criticisms to heart and find a flaw(缺陷)in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious (careful) that youth sportparticipation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In todays youth sport setting, young athletes may be worrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and coaches focus on(pay more attention to)the outcome and find fault with youngsters performances. Positive reinforcement should be provided in spite of the outcome. Research shows that positive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress (pressure), which can lead to burnout.( ) 73. According to the passage sport is positive for young people in that _.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences( ) 74. Many coaches and parents are in the habit of criticizing young athletes _.A. without realizing criticism may destroy their self-confidenceB. in order to make them remember lifes lessonsC. believing that criticism is beneficial
