Are you eager to enjoy watching the matches or start serving as a volunteer? First, you need to know about audience manners.In 2020, after world champion Stephen Hendry lost to Ding Junhui in the China Open Snooker(斯诺克台球) Championships, he complained of the noise from Chinese spectators.Most sporting arenas(竞技场) have rules for spectators written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and dont leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other trash(垃圾).During exciting games, try to control yourself. Dont criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but dont go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them. Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is in progress and players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.Enjoying artistic gymnastics requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behaviour includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centres.41. The example given by the author in the second paragraph shows that _ .A. the behaviour of courtside audience is an important part of sporting cultureB. Ding Junhui is no doubt the world snooker championC. foreign players dont get used to playing in ChinaD. few Chinese spectators understand the rules of snooker42. Which of the following should be done when you are watching the Olympic Games?A. Make comments on the performance of players.B. Read and follow the instruction written on the tickets.C. Shout at the players when they give an excellent performance.D. Clean the sporting arenas and take away all the rubbish.43. To be a good spectator, you should_ .A. take time to learn the game-specific rules and related culture of each eventB. applaud when the game is in progressC. cheer for the players in all gamesD. keep silent when you are watching the game44. The passage mainly talks about .A. good manners while meeting with foreignersB. rules of the 2020 Beijing Olympic GamesC. various rules for different sports in Olympic GamesD. how to behave while in the audience at the Olympic GamesB“No man is an island.” is a well-known line from John Donnes Devotion, written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need to have friends.For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling sheepish(不好意思的), we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegies How to Win Friends and Influence People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best seller. It was later put into 28 languages.Dale Carnegies advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book:(1)Be friendly and polite.Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please” when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.(2)Go out of your way to be nice.Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbor feel a lot better.(3)Remember names.They say that the sweetest music to a persons ears is the sound of his or her own name.(4)Be open-minded.Try to understand other peoples ways and ideas and learn something from them.(5)Listen patiently.When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when necessary.45.

People enjoy hearing their own names.CHalf an hour of exercise a day can add an extra five years on your life, a ground breaking research has showed. Health experts said that walking or cycling gently has massive long-term benefits. According to the World Health Organization, research carried out in Britain and Denmark shows that gentle work-outs(锻炼) and even housework every day can increase life spans(持续的时间) by as much as five years.The news will provide encouragement for those couch potatoes to start taking exercise. Britain is in the grip of an obesity epidemic (肥胖症), with just 35% of men and 24% of women taking regular exercise.“Encouraging people to be physically active every day has so many health benefits,” said Dr Marc Danzon, WHO regional director for Europe. “These include reducing the risk of developing certain diseases and of becoming obese, as well as contributing to physical co-ordination, balance, strength and mental well-being. It is a very cost-effective public health tool.”The organization is so concerned that the public is not getting the message on exercise that it will launch a “Move For Health” campaign to boost public awareness.“The WHO encourages adults to take at least 30 minutes of physical exercise a day,” said Dr Danzon. “This includes walking, cycling, playing, housework, climbing stairs as well as sports.” He added that children should take at least 60 minutes of exercise every day.49. The underlined phrase “couch potatoes” probably means _ .A. lazy persons who spend a lot of time sittingB. people who like eating potatoesC. persons who usually rest on a coachD. players who take exercise with potatoes50.

WHO has tried to improve peoples knowledge about exercise by launching a campaign.C. People with an obesity epidemic in Britain seldom take regular exercise.D. Physical exercise brings the best possible profits to public health for the lowest costs.52. The passage mainly tells you _ .A. how to take exercise B. what the WHO isC. how to lose weightD. how to add years to your lifeDLanguage is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each countrys language must be treated equally. The original six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now fifteen countries in the EU, with a total of twelve languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming. It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EUs administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more countries, most of which have their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible “translation situations” that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example， Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese） at a high professional standard.In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.53. The organization that eventually became the EU _.A. was started by France and GermanyB. started with three countriesC. was set up by the Treaty of RomeD. included 132 languages54. Whats the main purpose of this passage?A. To give a solution to a problem.B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.C. To criticize the European Union for its inefficiency.D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.55. The writer mentions “Danish into Greek” as an example of _ .A. a situation that might be difficult to deal withB. a situation that occurs oftenC. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreterD. languages easily being interpreted56. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced _ .A. the EU would not know which official languages to chooseB. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappyC. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officiallyD. the smaller member countries would be pleasedEMouse potatoes joined couch potatoes (who spend much time watching TV on the couch), google officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.The mouse potato, the himbo (attractive, empty-headed man) and drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2020 update of Americas best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary（韦氏大词典）. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the world wide web.New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen each year by Merriam-Websters team of editors after months of looking through books, magazines and even food labels. “They are not tracking spoken language. They are looking for evidence that words have been used in the written English language,” said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster.Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch (a small grow
