Kill the fool! Murder the referee（裁判）！” These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But lets not kid ourselves. They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way words affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words. Perhaps the time has come to delete（删除） it from sports terrors. The dictionary meaning of the term opponent is enemy; one who opposes your interests. Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy. At such times, winning may be the most important, and every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable. I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a players request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough. The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, Are they wet enough now? In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences(后果) that such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also seen a player reacting to his opponents intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately(故意地) hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which goes against normal behavior. Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term opponent with associate could be an ideal way to start. The dictionary meaning of the term associate is colleague, friend, companion. Think about it! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term associate rather than opponent. 21. Which of the following statements best expresses the authors view? A. Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences. B. The words people use can influence their behavior. C. Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes. D. Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field. 22. Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _. A. are too eager to win B. are usually short-tempered and easily offended C. cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition D. treat their rivals(对手) as enemies 23. What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves? A. He refused to continue the game. B. He angrily hit the referee with a ball. C. He claimed that the referee was unfair. D. He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt. 24. The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _. A. calling on players to use clean language on the court B. raising the referees sense of responsibility C. changing the attitude of players on the sports field D. regulating the relationship between players and referees 考点：社会现象试题解析：这是一篇论述文，由赛场上一些评论言语对运动员行为上的影响实例来论述带某些含义的词语会使人偏离正常的人道主义行为。21根据第二段第四行中“words having certain connotations mayour usual humanistic behavior”带有某种含义的词可使我们反应的方式不同于我们通常人道主义行为方式。换言之，人们使用的词语影响他们的行为。故选B。考点定位：考查推理判断22根据第三段中“when a payer meets an opponent,he or she tend to treat that opponent as an enemy”在比赛中运动员往往把对手视为敌人。故可知选D。考点定位：考查细节理解23根据第三段第六行“The player proceeded to rub his glove across his wet T-shirt”选手继续在湿的T恤上擦拭他的手套，可知选D。考点定位：考查细节理解24根据第四段最后一句“It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from nomal behavior”，当前球场形式是：球场态度背离正常行为。故选项C“改变运动员在运动赛场上的态度”是解决途径。故选C。考点定位：考查主旨大意答案：21-24BDDCBOur plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch. We should have arrived at Liverpool at 9:19, but due to a typical London fog, the train had to move along so slowly that it was not until 10:30 that it got there. In spite of our late arrival, Joan, my wifes sister, decided that she would go to see the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London while we went shopping. It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadnt decided where we should meet for lunch. Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem. There seemed to be nothing we could do except taking a taxi to the Tower of London, and try to find her there. Needless to say, we didnt find her.It was now one oclock, and the concert began at 2:30. “Perhaps she will think of waiting outside the concert hall,” suggested my wife hopefully. By this time the fog was so thick that road traffic had to stop, and the only way to get there was by underground railway. Hand in hand we felt our way along the road to where we thought the nearest station should be. An hour later we were still trying to find it. Just as I was about to lose my temper completely when we met a blind man tapping his way confidently through the fog. With his help we found Tower Hill tube station just fifty yards down the road.By now it was far too late even to try to get to the concert hall before the performance began at 2:30, so we decided to return to Cambridge. It took seven long hours instead of the usual two to make that journey. Nor were we able to get any food and drink on the train. Tired and hungry we finally reached home at ten, opening the door to the sound of the telephone bell. It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night. Now she was ringing to discover whether we had had an equally successful day.25. Why was Joan separated from her sister and her brother-in-law?A. they could not see each other because of the fog.B. Joan had not seen Crown Jewels.C. They planned to do different things until lunch time.D. The writer didnt want to go to the concert.26. What did the writer plan to do in the afternoon?A. Go to the concert. B. See the Crown Jewels.C. Return to Cambridge. D. Go shopping.27. The reason why they didnt all meet for lunch was that _. A. They lost their way in the fog B. they forgot to make necessary arrangement C. they waited at different places and didnt meet each other D. the couple couldnt find the underground station28. Its quite clear that for Joan the trip to London had been _. A. spilt by the fog B. quite tiring C. rather disappointing D. very enjoyable考点：人物故事试题解析：本文介绍了作者一伙人到伦敦游玩的故事。由于安排不当，导致当天的活动很是混乱。25根据第一段中Our plan was to drive into Cambridge, catch the 7:34 train to Liverpool Street Station, then to separate and meet again for lunch一句可知，他们分开的原因在于他们决定各自做自己的事情，然后中午午餐时相聚。故选项C正确。考点定位：考查细节理解26根据第一段Since I had our three tickets for the concert in my pocket, this was indeed a problem一句，可知作者计划去听音乐会。故答案选A。考点定位：考查细节理解27根据第一段中It was only after her sister had disappeared into the fog that my wife realized that we hadnt decided where we should meet for lunch一句可知此前他们并没有做好安排。故导致午饭时没能聚到一起。答案B正确。考点定位：考查推理判断28根据最后一段It was Joan; she had seen the Crown Jewels, had managed to get another ticket for concert, and had had a wonderful dinner at a restaurant near the hotel where she decided to stay for the night的描述可知Joan玩得很尽兴。故答案D正确。考点定位：考查推理判断答案：25-28CABD CThe scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (输入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way. Human messengers are much more expensive and slower than the pigeons. The road to Felton goes through the mountains, and the driving is not easy. An electronic printout (电子打印输出) system could do the work in Felton, but at a cost of 10 dollars a print. Pigeons carry the designs for about 1 dollar each. Now Lockheed people have ten pigeon messengers. The pigeons do the work, and they have made Lockheed more famous. You can often read the news about pigeons in the newspapers around the world. 29. The passage is mainly about _.A. Felton, CaliforniaB. the scientistsC. how to work with computers D. sending prints by pigeon30.

Learn how to look good and look natural in your yearbook photo with these simple tips.1. Practice smiling in a mirror. It sounds crazy, but figuring out how to make a natural looking smile for the camera does need a little preparation. Dont be shy! Just imagine you are in front of a camera hold your head high, look straight into the mirror and smile. Keep practicing until you find out your most attractive smiling face.2. Choose your color wisely. In yearbook photos, lots of people look good in darker colors because they draw attention to the face. Generally, white often isnt the best choice because it can make your skin look a bit gray, especially if youre pale. Besides, stay away from super(超级的)-bright colors ( bright yellow, bright blue) unless youre really sure they make you look perfect.3. Avoid unnecessary details. Busy patterns draw attention to themselves in yearbook photos, not to your face and smile. Save them for your everyday fashion experiments. Besides, have your clothes prepared for the day when the yearbook photo is taken. The last thing you want to do is pick out the perfect thing to wear, only to find that its in the laundry.4. Avoid big changes to your appearance. Big changes may not turn out the way you hope. Leave some time to do your hair, such as combing(梳头) it up right before the yearbook photo is taken. Dont overdo it, since you want your hair to stay in one place and your face to draw all the attention, but go for the less is more approach.32. The best title of this passage is _. A.

It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away. In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36 So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area. 38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes
