They buy tickets or turn on their TVs to watch the games. Often they get very excited when their player or team wins.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for(参加) them. Football, for example, has spread(展开)around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers. What fun it is to jump into a pool or lake, whether in China, Egypt or Italy! And think of people in cold countries. Think how many love to skate or ski (滑雪) in Japan, Norway or Canada.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese Wushu, for example, has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time. Water-skiing is one of the newest in the family of sports.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game together they often become good friends. Sports help to train(培养,训练) a persons character(性格,品格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace(胜不骄，败不馁).49. Why do people all over the world enjoy sports?A. Because they are healthy.B. Because they are happy.C. Because they want to live longer.D. All the above.50. Why do some people get excited when they watch a game? BecauseA. their favourite team wins B. they win the gameC. they get the good news D. they cant help themselves51.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words.However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoes (探索它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, should t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.53. According to the passage _.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round54. Which of the following is the correct plural?A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.55. Which of the following includes two items that have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.C. Hot as hell and cold as hell. D. Quite a lot and quite a few.56. Through the many paradoxes in the English language, the writer wants to show that human beings are _.A. clever B. crazy C. lazy D. upsetEFrom Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax (放松) and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interests. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.Almost everyone has some kinds of hobbies. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others dont cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare (稀有的) fifty cent piece worth S250! He was very happy about his buying and thought the price was reasonable (合理的). On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt (怀疑) if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are very valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.That s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.57. The underlined word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means_ .A. different B. strange C. secret D. ones own58. In the writers opinion, _.A. all hobbies are very expensiveB. some hobbies dont cost anythingC. hobbies are worthlessD. hobbies are valuable to everybody59. Something that one enjoys doing in ones spare time is a_ .A. job B. pleasure C. hobby D. habit60. Which of the following statements (陈述) is NOT true?A. The writers brother has a large collection of matchboxes, which makes him very happy.B. We collect a subject in our spare time simply for the fun of it.C. The pleasure that a hobby can give is important.D. To have a hobby means to spend a lot of money.第二节 根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项多余选项。（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）Clerk: What can I do for you?Zhang: 61 .
