The history of volleyball dates back to 1895 when William GMorgan met a Canadian James Naismith, inventor of basketball and was influenced by him and basketballThen he wanted to invent a new game that was fit for middle-aged menMorgan enjoyed the game of basketball, but soon he realized that it was too fast paced for some of the older menSo, he decided to invent a game that was still played on a court, but the players were not required to run up and downhe created the game of “mintonette.” Volleyball history shows that the original game of mintonette was played on a full court with a net in the middleTwo teams tossed（抛）the ball back and forth over the net, similar to the game of badmintonIn order to cut down the equipment costs, the players played the ball with their handsThe game quickly became popular, and everyone wanted to learn how to play volleyballIt quickly spread to other areas, across the United States, and even to other countriesSeveral changes were made to the gameThen specific volleyball rules were set into placeSome of the rules of volleyball included the court size, number of players, and number of hits per teamThe rules also stated that players must rotate（轮换） around the court so that everyone had a turn to serve the ballAlso, a standard volleyball size and shape were decided within a few yearsThe rules continued to change and adjust throughout the history of volleyball, until the game became what we have todayEven though volleyball history says that the game was originally created for middle-aged men, the game has become so popular among all kinds of peopleToday there are many different kinds of competitive volleyball teams: high school volleyball, college volleyball, women volleyball, men, children, mixed teams, etcThere is an endless amount of possibilities with this game because it is easy to learn, many people can play together, and it can by played indoors or outside56Morgan invented volleyball to _Amake people more interested in sportsBfind a game that is very easy to playCgive everyone a chance to exerciseDcreate a game for middle-aged men57What did Morgan think of basketball?AIt shouldnt be played on a full courtBIt was similar to badminton.CIt was too fast for some people.DIt was too complex for people.58Specific volleyball rules were formed probably because _.AAmerican wanted to learn how to play volleyballBvolleyball was accepted in many countriesCit became popular in all the countriesDstandard volleyballs were produced59What is included in the volleyball rules?AThe volleyball shape is decided by both teamsBPlayers must choose good positions in the courtCEvery player has a chance to serve the ballDEach team must rotate around the court.60We can infer from the passage that _Avolleyball develops from the game of “mintonette”Bmost of the competitive volleyball teams are in the collegeCthe rules of volleyball continue to change as they are easy to learnDdifferent rules have appeared to cut down the costsBEunice Kennedy Shriver was a member of one of the most famous families in American politicsThough she never ran for office, she spent her life energetically working to improve the lives of people with developmental problemsEunice Shriver was best known for creating the Special Olympics, an athletic event for people with mental（精神上的）disabilitiesHer efforts changed the way the world thinks about the mentally disabledMrsShriver officially became involved in helping people with developmental problems when she became the executive vice-president of a family organization in 1957The Joseph PKennedy Junior Foundation was created in 1946 to honor her oldest brother, who died fighting in World War TwoUnder her guidance, the foundation turned its attention to studying the causes of mental disabilitiesIt also sought to improve the way the society treats people with such disabilitiesThe foundation also started centers for the study of medical ethics（医德） at Harvard University and Georgetown UniversityEunice Shriver and her family had a personal reason to be interested in this issueHer older sister, Rosemary Kennedy, was born mentally retarded（智力迟钝的）As Rosemary grew older, she became increasingly difficult to live with and supervise（监督）When she was in her twenties, her father arranged for her to have an operation on her brain（脑）to improve her mental conditionBut the operation left her completely disabledHer family later sent her to a care center where she lived until her death in 2020;2020.In the past, mental disability was generally treated as a shameful and hopeless diseaseAnd, there were almost no community activities, resources or jobs for the mentally disabledThey were shut away with little respectEunice Shriver changed thisShe showed the world that the mentally disabled could be useful citizens enjoying rich lives.61By saying “she never ran for office” in Paragraph 1, the author may probably mean _.AShriver was too poor to own an office at that timeBShriver didnt want to be an official through her workCShriver didnt need to walk to her office thenDShriver always stayed at home working for the disabled62Eunice Shrivers greatest contribution might be _.Aorganizing an athletic event for the mentally disabledBdevoting her life to improving peoples livesChonoring those who died fighting in World War TwoDhelping the mentally disabled to learn knowledge63According to the passage, the Joseph PKennedy Junior Foundation_.Atried to persuade the government to treat the disabled betterBwas considered as the center of Harvard UniversityConce made some reforms with the help of ShriverDmainly studied what caused bad medical ethics64What caused Eunice Shriver to be interested in the mentally disabled?AHer parents encouragementBHer oldest brothers deathCHer own experiencesDHer mentally undeveloped sister65What can we infer from the passage?AA large number of the disabled are used to living as good-for-nothing persons.BThe human rights of the disabled are being protected better than ever.CPeople with mental disabilities must receive operations on the brain.DThe mentally disabled may receive more respect nowadays.COne cause of the current food crisis is droughtFood prices are high in part because of dry weather in places as far distant as Spain and AustraliaAround the world, the amount of land affected by drought has doubled in the past thirty yearsAnd scientists concerned about climate change believe it will cause more drought in many areas in the future.A lot of research is going into efforts to develop drought-resistant cropsOne project involves tobacco plants genetically engineered to keep their leaves during water shortagesThey chose tobacco because it has big leavesAlso, it grows fast and has structural similarities with some other plants.The researchers did an experiment with two groups of tobacco plantsThey worked with a set of normal plants and a set of transgenic plantsThese had a gene added to interfere with the biological causes of leaf loss during drought.The researchers put all the plants in a greenhouse to grow under normal conditions for forty daysThen, for fifteen days after that, the plants did not receive any water.The normal plants lost their green colorFinally, they lost their leavesBut the researchers say the transgenic plants kept their leaves and their color.After the fifteen dry days, all the plants were watered again for a weekThe transgenic plants returned to normal growth, and their seed production was close to normalBut the other plants all died.In addition, the researchers found that the plants could survive on only thirty percent of the normal amount of irrigation waterYield loss was minor, they said.The findings appeared late 2020;2020 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of SciencesThe University of California has applied for patent protection for the technology.The researchers expect to move forward with field testing of the transgenic tobacco in late AugustThey hope for similar results with crops like tomatoes, rice, wheat and cotton.66It can be inferred from Paragraph1 that _Athe amount of land affected by drought has doubled in the past thirty years in the worldBdrought is the only cause to lead to the current food crisis.Cfood prices will be higher in the future with the drought areas extendingDfood prices has nothing to do with the climate change in the world67One project chooses tobacco plants because _Aplanting tobacco can bring in great profitsBtobacco plants have large leaves and structural similarities with some other plantsCtobacco plants grows fastDBoth B and C68From the beginning to the end, the experiment with two groups of tobacco plants lasts for at least _ daysA40 B55 C62 D7769The conclusion they can draw in the experiment is that_Athe two groups of tobacco plants are the same drought-resistant cropsBthe transgenic plants can return to the normal tobacco plantsCthe transgenic plants need more water than the normal onesDthe transgenic plants need less water and the decrease of production is small70The next aim of the experiment is _Ato apply for patent protection for the transgenic technologyBto increase the production of the transgenic plantsCto hope for similar results with other crops .Dto move forward with field testing of the transgenic tobaccoDThe United Nations Childrens Fund （UNICEF） has declared October 15 as Global Handwashing Day in 2020;2020The first Global Handwashing Day is on October 15 of 2020;2020 Activities are planned over twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soapGlobal Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with SoapPartners include the UN Childrens Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and GambleThe goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.Hand
