A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world.Table tennis, or “ping-pong”, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.24. The main purpose of Paragraph l is to tell us that the English_.A. are all sports lovers B. behave like childrenC. like to kick a ball around D. can remain young all their lives25. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?A. They differ in the shape of the ball. B. They are played by different numbers of players. C. They both can be handled. D. They both can be kicked.26. The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is_.A. basketball B. tennis C. rugby D. football27. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Most Popular Sports B. The American SportsC. History of Sports D. Sports in BritainCI still remember the moment before boarding the airplane, my stomach was twisted in knots, and my arms carried the burdens of not only my luggage, but also past painful memories. I was sobbing, my face wearing homesickness and hope. It was my first experience moving to another country. I was like a frog who had lived at the bottom of a well seeing the world for the first time. I didnt want to leave home, but I didnt have much of a choice.When I first arrived in Fairfax, I found everything extremely different. To begin with, drivers there drive on the other side of the road, which really confused me. The area is often completely lacking in humans. I was also overwhelmed by the silence of the place, a huge contrast to the constant hustle and bustle in Singapore. And the mild weather and the subtleness of the season changes were things I had never met before. I underwent a culture shock and it took a while to adapt.Now, when I look back, it was a remarkable experience. I learned so many things. Since the pace of life is much slower in Fairfax, I was able to invest my time in picking up new hobbies like skiing and softball. Perhaps it was a part of the growing up process, but I think I grew much more confident from living there. And the opportunity to meet new people was really rewarding. However, I cant deny how scary it was to be taken out of my comfort zone like that.28.How did the author feel when she was leaving for Fairfax?A. Excited and hopeful. B. Sad and unwilling.C. Calm and peaceful. D. Confused and disappointed.29.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The driving habit in Fairfax is similar to that in Singapore.B. The author felt that the climate didnt agree with her.C. The author was impressed by a Fairfax full of life when arriving there.D. It took the author some time to adapt to the newness in Fairfax.30.How does the author feel now about her life in Fairfax?A.She feels it changed her for the better. B. She quite enjoyed life comfortably.C.She experienced much trouble and felt terrible. D. She suffered a serious culture shock.31.Which of the following can best describe the author?A.Emotional and courageous. B.Confident and outgoing. C.Humorous and mild. D.Energetic and changeable.D Good afternoon, everybody! Its my great honor to be here to talk to you. When it comes to Taobao and Alipay, everyone knows them. So, today Id like you to know about Alibaba Group with big companies including Taobao and Alipay. Alibaba Group is a privately owned Hangzhou-based group of Internet-based e-commerce businesses including business-to-business online websites, online sales, payment services and other online services. In 2020, the two companies together handled $170 billion in sales, more than competitors eBay and Amazon. The consumer-to-consumer service Taobao, similar to eBay, is one of the 20 most-visited websites globally. Alibaba Groups sites account for over 60% of the parcels delivered in China. Alipay, an online payment service, accounts for roughly half of all online payment transactions(转移交易) within China. The founder Mayun( Jack Ma) chose “Alibaba” as his companys name because everyone knows the story Alibaba and 40 Thieves. Alibaba was a kind, smart businessman who generously helped the whole village. Alibaba group opens doors for companies of small-to-medium sizes. MaYun was right and now when people mention Alibaba, the first thing they think of is this company rather than the old story. Everyone knows it is the common interests Alibaba shares that always encourage every individual to try their best for greater achievements. Our next plan is to help small companies and firms to solve marketing, management and financial problems through the development of information technology. Our goal is to provide the best service to our customers and to improve teamwork by sharing resources together and taking responsibility together. There is no doubt that our team needs to face challenges and catch every opportunity. Lets also keep in mind that confidence, honesty, positive attitude, sense of efficiency(效率) and enthusiasm are what we need to keep things going. Lets work together for a better tomorrow. 32.
