The origins() of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize() the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors() of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of Baseball Players that had proclaimed() a set of standard rules. These teams were amateurs() or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season() contest, the first worlds series. The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.1) .According to the passage, baseball originated in 1839 because _.A.

The teaching of the Barbizon school, which stressed the use of color and the creation of an impression or a mood, influenced many American artists. One group of American painters, led by James McNeill Whistler and John Singer Sargent, expatriated() themselves from the American scene and settled in Europe. Whistler, who is often ranked as the greatest genius() in the history of American art, was a versatile() and industrious() artist who was equally proficient() in several media-oil, watercolor, etching()-and with several themes-portraits and his so-called nocturnes(), impressionistic sketches() of moonlight on water and other scenes. He was one of the first to appreciate the beauty of Japanese color prints and to introduce Oriental concepts into Western art.1) .For a period after the Civil War, the majority of American painters _.A. studied art in EuropeB. used striking color in their workC. painted in the impressionist styleD. was influenced by the Barbizon school:A32).According to the passage, one group of American painters _.A. copied the style of Whistler and SargentB. were unaffected by the European style of paintingC. turned their back on the American art traditionD. left America never to return:D33).From the passage we are led to believe that Whistler _.A. combined several media and themes in his paintingsB. did much of his painting at nightC. was most proficient in impressionistic sketchesD. produced a large number of pictures:D34).According to the passage, Whistler was one of the first Western painters to _.A. start producing Japanese sketchesB. admire Japanese oil paintingsC. use Japanese ideas in his own workD. become interested in Japanese printing:C35).The main theme of this passage is _.A.

Time to relax. You cannot have complete rest if you _1_it too seriously. But taking vacations seriously is exactly_2_we Americans seem to do. In the same way our kids free time is now packed with activities, we adults have turned vacations into active leisure. Anytime you try very hard to relax, thats active leisure. Our vacations_3_with an agenda, a purpose. Were visiting family, attending weddings, going camping, and making sure we ride that roller coaster-no matter how long the line is. We Americans are so active in our leisure_4_we commonly complain we need a vacation from our vacations. We leave home_5_; we come back exhausted. Thats why many of us have decided not to go. Americans are_6_a few vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed countries, but ironically, we dont even use them. The average American will leave four vacation days on the table this year, which adds up to a total 574 million days of_7_vacation. Our relationship to relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money than anyone else in the world on leisure-fully one-_8_of our income-and yet at the same time we are No. 1 in the world at not taking vacations. One of the top reasons given for not taking a vacation is that its too much extra work. We have to get_9_of our work in order to leave, and then we have to catch up on our work upon our return. The longer the vacation we take, the bigger the stumbling blocks appear. So only 14% of Americans will take a vacation two weeks or longer this summer. Bottom line: its simply become too stressful to relax. We Americans take our time off so seriously that you can now get a Ph.D. in leisure studies at Penn State and 17 other famous universities. Thats right-a doctorate, not just a bachelors. Its such an up-and-coming field in academe that there is an actual shortage of_10_educators. We dont have enough people to teach leisure. I am tempted to make a joke about this, but I dont want to get the wrath of the leisure scientists. Theyll beat me up with chairs.1) .A. makeB. takeC. bakeD. cake:B12).A. whichB. whatC. thatD. this:B13).A. arriveB. goC. comeD. leave:C14).A. thatB. thoseC. theseD. this:A15).A. tiringB. tiresC. tireD. tired:D16).A. givingB. givenC. gaveD. give:B17).A. tookB. untakenC. takeD. taken:B18).A. thirtyB. thirdsC. thirdD. three:C19).A. outB. clearC. aheadD. rid:C110).A. qualifiesB. qualificationC. qualifiedD. qualify:C1
