12、C 3 9 Unlike most sports, which evolved over time from street games, basketball was designed by one man to suit a particular propose. The man was Dr. James Naismith, and his purpose was to invent a vigorous game that could be played indoors in the winter. In 1891, Naismith was an instructor at a tra

13、ining school, which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs. That year the school was trying (26)_ up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy (27)_ the football and baseball seasons. None of the standard indoor activities (28)_ their interest for long. Naismith was asked to so

14、lve the problem by the school. He first tried to (29)_ some of the popular outdoor sports, but they were all too rough. The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and (30)_ hit with equipment. So, Naismith decided to invent a game that would incorporate the most common elements of outdoor

15、 team sports without having the real physical contact. Most popular sports used a ball. So he chose a soccer ball because it was soft and large enough that it (31)_ no equipment, such as a bat or a racket to hit it. Next he decided (32)_ an elevated goal, so that scoring would depend on skill and ac

16、curacy rather than on (33)_ only. His goals were two peach baskets, (34)_ to ten-foot-high balconies at each end of the gym. The basic (35)_ of the game was to throw the ball into the basket. Naismith wrote rules for the game, (36)_ of which, though with some small changes, are still (37)_ effect. B

17、asketball was an immediate success. The students (38)_ it to their friends, and the new sport quickly (39)_ on.

20、 most pervasive and persuasive of modern (26)_, marked by rapid change and growth - - is moving into a new era, an era of extraordinary sophistication and versatility, which (27)_ to reshape our lives and our world. It is an electronic (28)_, made possible by the (29)_of television and computer scie

21、nces. The word television, (30)_ from its Greek (tele: distant) and Latin (vision: sight) roots, can (31)_ be interpreted as sight from a distance. Very simply (32)_, it works in this way: through a sophisticated system of electronics, television provides the (33)_ of converting an image into electr

22、onic impulses, which can be sent through a wire or cable. These impulses, when (34)_ into a receiver (television set), can (35)_ be electronically reconstituted into that same image. Television is more than just an electronics system, however. It is (36)_ of expression, as well as a (37)_ for commun

23、ication, and as such becomes a powerful tool for reading other human beings. The field of television can be divided into two (38)_ determined by its means of transmission. First, there is broadcast television, which teaches the masses through broad-based airwave transmission of television (39)_. Sec

24、ond, there is nonbroadcast television, which provides (40)_ the needs of individuals or specific interest groups through controlled transmission techniques.

It was the first rain of the new year and it (26), in an extremely violent manner, the beginning of the rainy season. The drops which fell were large, and they fell s

28、traight down, for (27) tropical rains never degenerate into slanting drizzle, the familiar (28) of a rainy day in so many other parts of the world. The rain fell heavily, it fell continuously and it saturated everything which lay (29)its way. During the rain most people kept to their homes. But a fe

29、w walked about,(30) to the wetness of their clothes and determined to (31) as usual. And, for those who wished to keep dry however much it cost them, there were always (32) taxis. They splashed by along the road, with the windscreen wipers revealing only (33)glimpses of the drivers peering faces.(34

30、), when the rain had started, the drivers had had only the big puddles to miss, but later on, then the drains had overflowed and the whole road swam with water all dangerous pits and (35)had been hidden, and the faces peering through the windscreens peered even more anxiously than before. But often

31、the faces inside the taxi ceased to (36)to look out at all, for water had splashed up to the electrical system, and the engine stopped just as surly and abruptly as it would have done,(37) the car actually (38) into out of the drains it had so(39) missed only a few moments (40).

35、he knows she needs to (27)_ lost calories following a workout. When I come home from a good run, I force myself to eat supper, says Johnston, a dietitian at McMaster University in Hamilton.(28)_, Johnston says many female athletes let good eating habits go and risk health (29)_ thinness.Johnston, wh

36、o works in the bone-marrow transplant unit at McMaster, has a background in sports (30)_. In 1997, while a student at the University of Guelph, she worked with Prof. Heather Keller on a study for her (31)_ on the eating habits of female athletes.The (32)_ person with eating disorders is driven by a

37、desire to look svelte, says Johnston. But her study focused on athletes who eat less to lower weight and body fat (33)_ the belief it will improve (34)_. The study involved (35)_ 22 elite female athletes between ages 15 and 25 over three months. Years ago when we didnt know any better it was thought

38、 that being lighter meant running better, says Johnston, adding thats still the mentality of many competitive runners, as well as other (36)_ like gymnasts and swimmers.Johnstons study (37)_ consumed 400 to 700 fewer calories daily than recommended for their (38)_ training.Even when training more as

C 8 Proclamation of 1763 was declared by the British crown at the end of the French and Indian War in North America, mainly inten

43、ded to (26)_ the Indians by checking the encroachment of white settlers on their lands. After Indian (27)_ had resulted in the start of Pontiacs War (1763-64), British authorities determined to (28)_ intercolonial rivalries and abuses by dealing with Indian problems (29)_. To this end, the (30)_ org

44、anized new British territories in America - the provinces of Quebec, East and West Florida, and Grenada (in the Windward Islands) - and a vast British-administered Indian reservation west of the Appalachians, from south of Hudson Bay to north of the Florida. It forbade all white settlement (31)_ Ind

45、ian territory, ordered those settlers already there to withdraw, and strictly limited future settlement.

46、 (34)_ the Indian title had first been (35)_ by purchase or treaty. Although (36)_ to alter western boundaries, the proclamation was nevertheless offensive to the colonies as (37)_ interference in their affairs. Treaties following Pontiacs War drew a more acceptable line of settlement, and the balan

47、ce of territory north of the Ohio River was added to Quebec in 1774. The proclamation, however, failed to (38)_ the westward movement of pioneers, (39)_ disregard of its provisions (40)_ decades of continued Indian warfare throughout the area. 26.

B 10 Normative (规范的，标准的) ethics is concerned with criteria of what is morally right and wrong.It includes the (26)_ of moral rules that have direct implications fo

51、r what human actions, (27)_, and ways of life should be like. The central question of normative ethics is determining how basic moral standards are arrived at and (28)_.The answers to this question (29)_ two broad categories - deontological (义务论的) and teleological (目的论的).The principal difference bet

52、ween them is that deontological theories do not appeal to value considerations in establishing ethical standards, (30)_ teleological theories do. Deontological theories use the concept of their inherent rightness in establishing such standards, while teleological theories consider the goodness or va

53、lue (31)_ by actions as the principal criterion of their ethical value. In other words, a deontological approach (32)_ doing certain things on principle or because they are (33)_ right, whereas a teleological approach (34)_ that certain kinds of actions are right because of the goodness of their con

54、sequences. Deontological theories thus stress the concepts of obligation, ought, duty, and right and wrong, while teleological theories (35)_ the good, the valuable, and the desirable.Deontological theories (36)_ formal or relational criteria such as equality or (37)_; teleological theories, (38)_,

55、provide material or substantive criteria, as, for example, happiness or pleasure. The application of normative theories and standards (39)_ practical moral problems is the concern of (40)_ ethics.This subdiscipline of ethics deals with many major issues of the contemporary scene, including human rig

56、hts, social equality, and the moral implications of scientific research, particularly in the area of genetic engineering. 26.A. form B. formalityC. formulaD. formulation 27.A. constitutionsB. institutionsC. consultationsD. instructions 28.A. justifiedB. justifyingC. justifiableD. justificatory 29.A.
