I was still at the office at that time, but I had made arrangements for his arrival. After explaining where my new house was, I told him that I had left the key under the doormat(门垫). As I was probably to be home rather late, I advised him to help himself to food and drink.Two hours later my friend telephoned me from the house. At that moment, he said he was listening to some of my records after having just had a truly wonderful meal. Now, he said he was drinking a glass of orange juice and he hoped I would join him.

Soccer has been popular for more than 100 years and today it is probably the most popular sport in the world.Every four years, teams from all over the world compete in the famous World Cup. The Cup is a number of games in which teams from many countries play to see which is the best. Almost one billion people watched the 1982 championship(冠军) game on television. People in Asia had to get up in the middle of the night to see Italy beat West Germany on TV in a game played in Spain. The World Cup began in Montevido, Uruguay(乌拉圭) in 1930. At the time, it did not seem like a true world competition since only thirteen teams decided to play and eight of them were from South America. The team from Uruguay won. In 1934 and 1938, the Cup was held in Europe. More than thirty teams played in each of these competitions and Italy won both of them. The large number of teams meant that some rules had to be changed. There were too many teams playing so they had to have elimination matches(淘汰赛) first. Some of the games were played in countries other than the host countries. This way is still used today and only the sixteen teams left after elimination actually compete for the Cup. 26. The first World Cup was not like a world competition because _. A. eight teams were from South America B. most teams were from one part of the world C. only thirty teams played in the competition D. not a single team from Asia attended the game27.

Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. D. “Football” is a more basic word than “soccer” in English.29. What happened in the 1982 championship game? A. West Germany was the winning team. B. Over one billion people watched the game on TV. C. The championship game was held in Italy. D. People in Asia had to give up sleeping to watch the game.30. From the passage we know that elimination matches are held _. A. when more than sixteen teams take part in the World Cup B. to select the excellent teams to actually compete for the Cup C. in countries other than host countries D. more often now than beforePassage 3Before trains, most things went by road. But 200 years ago the roads were very bad, and the horses couldnt pull heavy wagons（运货马车）very fast. Sometimes, when the road was wet, they couldnt pull them at all! When that happened, the driver took flat pieces of wood and put them on the ground under the wheels; then it was easy to pull the wagons, and the horse could do the job very well when the road was flat. When the road was going down a hill, the horse didnt pull the wagon at all, but when the road was going up a hill it was very difficult to pull the wagon.On the first railways, the horse pulled the train when the road was flat. There was a wagon at the back of the train to carry the horse when the train was going down a hill. There was an engine with a long rope to pull the train when it was going up a hill. But the engine stayed in the same place all the time; it didnt move with the train.The first engines didnt work very well, and they sometimes didnt work at all, but they often helped the horses to climb up the hills.Then Richard Trevithick had an idea. “Lets put the engine on the train,” he said. And that was the first real train. 31. 200 years ago _. A. the roads were very good B. the roads were very bad C. there werent any roads D. there were trains but no roads32. When the road was flat _.

The wagonPassage 4In order to learn to be ones true self, it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge of what has been said and done in the world; critically to inquire into it; carefully to consider it; clearly to analyze it; and earnestly to carry it out.It matters not what you learn, but when you once learn a thing, you must never give it up until you have mastered it.
