Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer. Games and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activities. The Arabs use horses or camels in much of their everyday life; they use them in their sports, too.Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, 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.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a persons character (性格). One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace (优雅).21.According to this passage, which of the following isnt true?A.Sports help to train a persons character.B.People swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.C.People from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.D.Sports and games can develop the friendship between peoples all over the world.22.The writer didnt tell us in this passage that _.A.basketball was invented in AmericaB.sports change with the seasonsC.games and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activitiesD.football is played all over the world23.From this passage we can see that _.A.sports and games are unimportant things that people doB.sports and games should be treated (对待) only as amusement (娱乐活动)C.sports and games are only useful to the oldD.none of the above is trueB Traveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon as we return home from a trip and Ive finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of awful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderfuluntil youre back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain(抱怨) aboutbig hotel, wonderful view.And yetwe found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, Ive learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forces complaints to bounce off me and land in a pile at my feet.For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home.Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids making up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics (歌词) and their crazy good fortune to be swimming at 10: 30 on a school night.And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but its also a lot more. Its taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. Its remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.24.The underlined word “uncanny” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to .A.unknown.B.uncertain.C.unexpected.D.unusual.25.According to the passage, family travel is like childbirth in that .A.they both cause financial trouble and pain.B.they are both hard as well as rewarding.C.childhood memories come flooding back when they travel.D.both of them need many preparations.26.By saying “Ive learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor on” in Paragraph 5, the author means that_ .A.she tries to deal with the complaints more wisely and properly.B.she turns those annoying complaints into a means to educate kids.C.she has improved her language skills when handling the complaints.D.she has succeeded in escaping kids fighting thanks to the armor.27.From the authors experience in the passage, we can NOT learn that .A.family vacation benefits her kids as well as her.B.joy and memories should be created rather than discovered.C.the most unforgettable memory for her is about the complaints.D.she has to spend some time on housework after the family vacation.C The worlds top automakers are increasingly offering more electric vehicle models. This growth is expected to continue， with more people choosing to hit the road with clean-running electric- powered cars.Environmentalists have praised the automakers for taking major steps to limit harmful pollutants linked to worldwide climate change. But electric vehicles are also known for not producing another kind of pollutionnoise. They run on batteries instead of fuel， and can operate in silence.While many people might consider this a good thing， quiet cars can also cause problems. The main danger is that people walking in areas around electric vehicles face a greater risk of being hit if they cannot hear the cars coming.Governments in the United States and Europe have recognized this problem. So， they have set requirements for manufacturers to add warning sounds to vehicles operating on electricity.The U.S.Department of Transportation finalized its rules a year ago. The rules require electric and hybrid (混合能源) vehicles to be equipped with some kind of warning sound when moving at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. The rules are aimed at preventing injuries among people walking or riding bicycles and to protect the blind.So what kinds of sounds can we expect to hear from the next generation of electric vehicles? One of the easiest solutions would be for carmakers to simply reproduce the sound a car would make if it actually did run on fuel. But many industry officials believe this would be a mistake.They say this would not support the electric vehicles true identity. It would also limit great possibilities to link the cars sound to a whole new image, which could help increase sales.Frank Welsch is head of technical development at Germanys Volkswagen. He said that finding the perfect sound mix is not an easy process. “The electric vehicle sound is its identity,” he said. “It cannot be too annoying. It cannot sound like anything we had in the past.”An official from Mercedes-Benz said the sound was designed to provide a safe warning without annoying passengers inside the vehicle. He said the goal was to create a car that remains completely quiet on the inside, but fills the sound requirements and supports the models image on the outside.It might seem strange to think that part of our automotive future is currently being developed in the same kinds of recording studios used by musicians. But that is exactly what is happening.28.The underlined words “hit the road” in Paragraph 1 probably mean_.A.clean a roadB.start a tripC.avoid an accidentD.reduce noise pollution29.The first two paragraphs are mainly intended to_.A.introduce the topic of the passageB.list the advantages of automobilesC.provide some facts about electric carsD.stress the importance of saving energy30.Sounds are added to electric cars to_.A.limit pollutantsB.increase salesC.prevent injuriesD.make cars smarter31.What would be the best title for the passage?A.Electric Car Sounds Promote Sales to a Large DegreeB.Recording Studios Will Create Sounds for All Electric CarsC.Governments Call on People to Design Electric Car SoundsD.Electric Cars Need Creative Sounds to Replace Engine NoiseDHaving a smart phone may not be as smart as you think.They may let you surf the Internet,listen to music and take photos wherever you arebut they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）,it seems.A study suggests that,by giving you access to emails at all times,the smart phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Experts found that British people work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles.The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours,but 2 more hours is spent responding to or sending work emails,or making work calls.Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers say they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night.The average time for first checking emails is between 6 a.m and 7 a.m, with more than a third checking their first email in the period, and a quarter checking them between 11p.m.and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika,marketing director of Pixmania,said:“The ability to access millions of Apps has made smart phone invaluable for many people.However,there are disadvantages.Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week,and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work.The more frequently in contact we become,the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”32.With a smart phone the average UK working day is .A. 11 to 12 hours B. 9 to 10 hoursC. 8 hours D. 2 hours33.We can learn from the text that the British people .A. prefer to check emails in the morning B. are crazy about different smart phoneC. work more hours with smart phones D. shorten their normal working hours34.What does the underlined word “invaluable” mean?A. useless B. necessaryC. expensive D. cheap35.What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smart phones?A. They are unimportant for most of people.B. They have disadvantages for some companies.C. They are useful to improve a work ability.D. They make it impossible for people to rest.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Your life is built around the choices you make.
