American Sports

The United States is a sport-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms;organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators really exceeds the number playing in the game.

Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and summer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exactly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket(板球).

Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the country,and the football stadiums of same of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.

Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.

Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys(骑师）who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do not “assemble”(聚集）primarily to see the horse race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

Electricity

The modern age is an age of electricity.People are so used to electric lights,radio,televisions,and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them.When there is a power failure,people grope about in flickering candlelight,cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them,and food spoils in silent refrigerators.Yet,people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago.Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years.Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.

All living cells send out tiny pulses of electricity.As the heart beats,it sends out pulses of record;they form an electrocardiogram,which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working.The brain,too,sends out brain waves of electricity,which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram.The electric currents generated by most living cells are extremely small-often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them.But in some animals,certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all.When large numbers of these cells are linked together,the effects can be astonishing.

The electric eel is as four fifths of all the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity,and the strength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.

11. what is the main idea of the passage?  ( B )

A.Electric eels are potentially dangerous.

B.Biology and electricity appear to be closely related.

C.People would be at a loss without electricity.

C.people must rely on candlelight

D.elevators and escalators do not function

13.Why does the author mention electric eels? ( C )

A.To warn the reader to stay away from them.

B.To compare their voltage to that used in houses.

C.To give an example of a living electrical generator.

D.To describe a new source of electrical power.

14.How many volts of electricity can an electric eel emit?  ( A )

A.800 B.600  

C.200   D.120

15.It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is the     .    ( B )

A. more beneficial it will be to science

B. more powerful its electrical charge will be

C. Easier it will be to find

Presidential Elections

Presidential election is an important event that happens once every four years.Currently,the president is always elected from one of the two main parties in the United States:the Republicans and the Democrats.There are other presidential candidates.However,it is unlikely that any of these “third party”candidates will win 26  D  .

In order to become the presidential nominee(候选人）of a party,the candidate must win the primary election.Primary elections are held throughout each state in the United States in the first half of any election year.Then,the delegates attend their party convention(政党代表大会）in order to nominate their chose candidate.Usually,it’s clear who will be the nominee.However,in the past parties have been divided and choosing a nominee has been a difficult process.

Once the nominees have been selected,they campaign throughout the country.A number of debates are usually held in order to better understand the candidates’ points of view.27  C  A party platform is best described as the general beliefs and policies that a party holds.Candidates cross the country by plane,bus,train or by car giving speeches.28  B  In the 19^th century candidate’s would stand on tree stumps to deliver their speeches.These stump speeches repeat the candidate’s basic views and wishes for the country.They are repeated many hundreds of times by each candidate.

Many people believe that campaigns in the United States have become too negative.29  A  These short ads contain sound bites which often distort(扭曲）the truth.

The Unite States maintains an extremely old,and some say in efficient ,voting system.This system is called the Electoral College(总统选举团).Each state is assigned electoral votes based on the number of senators(参议员)and representatives that state in Congress.30  E  The number of representatives is determined by the state’s population,but is never less than one.The electoral votes are decided by the popular vote in each state.One candidate wins all of the electoral votes in a state.In other words,Oregon has 8 electoral votes,If 1 million people vote for the Republican candidate and one million and ten people vote for the Democratic candidate,all 8 electoral votes will go to the democratic candidate.In the end ,many people feel that this system should be abandoned.

Women and Sports

Nowadays,women in the United States and many other countries participate in a growing number of sports and games,which is a symbol of social progress,of course .This has not always been the case,however.In fact ,women have not been as 31  K   in sports as men for a long time.Only in recent years have women begun to 32  B   up with men in this area.Until the 20 the century,women did not often participate in sports.

Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time.Many women cooked,cleaned,and took care of children.They were so busy that they did not have time for sports.A second reason,especially in the late nineteenth century,is a woman’s 33  H   at that time was one of illness and 34  D  .It was unladylike  for a women to get35  F   in any sports activity.

There have been changes in the 36  I   of women in the modern would,and also changes within the would of sports.These changes 37  C   many more women to participate in sports.Women are no longer 38  J   delicate.People do not think it is unladylike for a women to compete in sports.On the contrary,women who win in sports activities are 39  G   regarded.

Many women now take part in sports and games of many 40  A   kinds,and enjoy doing so.This development is partly the result of a change in the image of women in the modern world.
