It is always painful. For Andrew Agassi, maturing in the spotlight of international tennis petition was even harder. On September 3, the American tennis player said a tearful goodbye to his 21-year career after a third-round defeat in the US Open. The 36-year-old tried his best, but was unable to keep up with German Benjamin Becker, more than ten years his junior. The scoreboard said I lost today, but what the scoreboard doesnt say is what Ive found, Agassi said to the fans. I have found inspiration and you willed me to succeed. It was an emotional speech at the end of a long career. Agassi hated tennis as a teenager as much as he loves it now. His father made him play when he was a child. He got bored, and became a rebel(叛逆). The strict training that his father pushed upon him got in the way of his wild lifestyle. He grew hair long, wore colorful clothes and spat at a judge. Over the years, he has made bad jokes during news conferences. Asked what he would say to his 17-year-old self, Agassi answered, I would say, I understand you a lot more than I want to be you. The turning point in Agassis career came in 1992 when he unexpectedly won his first Grand Slam (大满贯赛事)at Wimbledon. It was the first time Agassi understood what real champions finally understand: winning is a test of courage and not just power, its a marathon, not a sprint(短跑). And what a marathon Agassi was about to begin. He cut his long hair, got fitter and tightened up emotionally. On the court, he ranked No. 1 for almost two years. His lowest point came in 1997 when his ranking dropped to No. 141. He didnt quit though. I knew that I would try to get the most out of myself every day from that day forward. That was my promise, he said. That never stopped. 56. The underlined phrase more than ten years his junior in the second paragraph means _. A. having lower ranking than Agassi for more than ten years B. having higher ranking than Agassi for more than ten years C. more than ten years older than Agassi D. more than ten years younger than Agassi 57. How did Agassi feel when he was defeated in the petition? A. He felt angry with the judge B. He felt satisfied with the scoreboard C. He felt regretful but encouraged D. He felt in great desperation58. The passage implies _. A. after 1997 Agassi began to take up marathon besides tennis B. Agassi began to play tennis before he was fifteen C. Agassi hesitated to quit his sports career D. the reason why Agassi lost his last petition was that he lacked courage and power 59. The score of the match between Agassi and Becker is _. A. 0-2 B. 0-3 C. 1-3 D. 2-3 B Risk of death is 3.5 to 5 times greater for obese (肥胖的) smokers than it is for people who have never smoked and are at a normal weight, according to a study published in the November, xx issue of the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The study, which began with a self-administered questionnaire taken between 1983 and 1989, asked more than 80,000 radiologic technologists aged 22 to 92 questions about age, height, weight and smoking behavior. BMI (body mass index) was calculated, with a BMI of 30 to 34.9 being considered obese, and 35 and over being very obese. Smoking behavior was analyzed by looking at a persons tobacco consumption level, number of years smoked, and current smoking status. Researchers then followed participants through December of xx, noting the number of deaths that occurred. The study involved researchers from the National Cancer Institute, the University of Minnesota and the American Registry of Radiolegic Technologists. Key Findings: 20 percent of obese adults in the United States smoke. Obese smokers face a greater risk of death from cancer and circulatory disease. Current smoking is a greater risk factor for death by cancer than obesity is, generally speaking. The higher a persons pack-years (number of packs smoked per day times the number of years smoked) are, the greater the risk of death. Men and women of all ages faced an elevated risk of death due to circulatory disease as BMI increased. And for those who were both obese and currently smoking, risk of circulatory disease increased 6 to 11 times under the age of 65, as pared to their never-smoking, normal weight counterparts. While its not surprising that obesity coupled with smoking is a recipe for trouble, it is important to highlight this growing health concern in America today.

C In the 18th century, New York was smaller than Philadelphia and Boston. Today it is the largest city in America. How can the change in its size and importance be explained? To answer this question we must consider certain facts about geography, history, and economics. Together these three will explain the huge growth of Americas most famous city. The map of the Northeast shows that the four areas with the largest populations in this region are around seaports. At these points materials from across the sea enter the United States, and the products of the land are sent there for export across the sea. We know that places where transportation lines meet are good places for making raw materials into finished goods. That is why seaports often have cities nearby. But cities like New York needed more than their geographical location in order to bee great industrial centers. Their development did not happen simply by chance. About 1815, when many Americans from the east had already moved toward the west, transportation routes from the seaports to the central regions of the country began to be a serious problem. The slow wagons of that time, usually drawn by horses, were too expensive for moving heavy freight (货物) very far. In New York State a canal seemed the best answer to the transportation problem. From the eastern end of Lake Erie all the way across the state to the Hudson River there is a long strip of low land. Here the Erie Canal was built, and after several years of work it was pleted in 1825. The canal produced an immediate effect. Freight costs were cut to about one tenth of what they had been. New York City, which had been smaller than Philadelphia and Boston, quickly became the leading city of the coast. In the years that followed, transportation routes on the Great Lakes were joined to routes on the Mississippi River. Then New York City became the end point of a great inland shipping system that started from the Atlantic Ocean far up the western branches of the Mississippi.64. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Development of Transportation in New York B. Export and Import of New York C. How New York Became Americas Largest City D. How New York Exchanged with Europe65. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The Erie Canal connected Lake Erie with the Hudson River. B. Economists are of the opinion that places where farming is done are good for making raw materials into finished goods. C. Wagons drawn by horses and oxen soon proved to be better and cheaper than canal transportation. D. The seaports usually have less population but more business.66. Freight costs were reduced to 10% of what they had been because of _. A. cheap and fast wagons B. the new sea routes C. the construction of the Erie Canal D. the development of industry D Growers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine. They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines (葡萄藤).The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year. Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs. David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs bee tasty dishes. Mr Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides (杀虫剂) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines. David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.67. Farmers who grow grapes with natural and organic methods _. A. dont cut grapevines every year B. dont use chemicals to control harmful insects and weeds C. dont need to control harmful insects and weeds D. dont use organic fertilizer68. In order to help the grapes grow better, growers _. A. only have to remove the dead leaves B.
