But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do.We dont know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(维持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons.Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelonas victorious Champions League(冠军联赛)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times.Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be inplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina.Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messis performances for his country have been severely disappointing.While he was still a teenager in xx and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youthhe cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentinas performance in xx.But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the xx World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messis breakout performance in blue and white stripes.Due to all of his acplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮状态)until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies.56. What will Messi have to do in order to be plete in his soccer career?A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina.B. He must win the tournament a few more times.C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona.D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps.57. How was Messis performance in xx World cup?A. Excellent B. Inspiring C. Disappointing D. Normal.58. What can we infer from the passage? A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history. B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina.C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies.D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers.59. What is the best title of the passage? A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All Time ? B. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in History. C. Barcelona and Lionel Messi. D. World Cup and Lionel Messi.BWe all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles (肌肉) of your neck, or because an unexpected twist（扭曲）has made your neck ache. The slightest move makes you jump with pain. Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck.That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling. We have all met such people.One is the man who always seems to be clapping his handsoften at the wrong timeduring a performance in the theater. He keeps you from hearing the actors.来源:学*科*网Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins. They e hurrying down to your row of seats. You are fortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap. You must stand up to let them pass. You are proud of yourself-control after they have settled into their seatsWell, what nowGod, one of them is up again. He forgot to go to the mens room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass. Now, that is “a pain in the neck”.Another, wellknown to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies. His mouth is full of popcorn (爆米花); he is chewing（嚼）loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him. None of them remain still. Up and down, back and forth, they gofor another bag of popcorn, or something to drink.Then, there is the man sitting next to you at lunch, smoking. He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth.We must not forget the man who es into a bus or subway and sits down next to you, just as close as you will let him. You are reading the newspaper and he gets closer so that he can read the paper with you. He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it.We also call such a person a “rubber neck”, always getting close to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors. They enjoy learning about your personal business. People have a strong dislike for “rubber necks”. They hate being watched secretly.60. According to the passage, how do you feel when late ers walk back and forth in front of you in a cinema?A. disturbed. B. bored. C. ignored. D. relaxed.61. A “rubber neck” often _ .A. says bad words behind people. B. quarrels face to face with neighbors.C. bargains with salespeople over the price D. asks about other peoples business62. Which of the following persons CANNOT be described as a “pain in the neck”?A. Someone who often claps at the wrong time during a performance.B. Someone who feels ache in his neck due to a cold in the muscles.C. Someone who sits next to you smoking, which you never enjoy. D. Someone who keeps eating or talking all through the movies. 63. What is the main purpose of the author? A. To tell people what might be bad manners in public.B. To criticize (批评) the people who might be a “pain in the neck” C. To show anger to those who are described as a “pain in the neck”. D. To tell people how to stop the pain in the neck. CEver wonder how much a cloud weighs? What about a hurricane? A meteorologist has done some estimates and the results might surprise you. Lets start with a very simple white puffy cloud a cumulus cloud（积云）. How much does the water in a cumulus cloud weigh? Peggy LeMone, senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, did the numbers. The water in the little cloud weighs about 550 tons, she calculates. Or if you want to convert it to something that might be a little more meaningful think of elephants. The thought of a hundred elephants-worth of water suspended in the sky begs another question what keeps it up there? First of all, the water isnt in elephant sized particles（微粒）, its in tiny tiny tiny particles, explains LeMone. And those particles float on the warmer air thats rising below. But still, the concept of so much water floating in the sky was surprising even to a meteorologist like LeMone. I had no idea how much a cloud would weigh, actually, when I started the calculations, she says. So how many elephant units of water are inside a big storm cloud10 times bigger all the way around than the puffy cumulus cloud? Again, LeMone did the numbers: About 200,000 elephants. Now, ratchet up the calculations for a hurricane about the size of Missouri and the figures get really massive. What were doing is weighing the water in one cubic meter theoretically pulled from a cloud and then multiplying by the number of meters in a whole hurricane, she explains. The result? Forty million elephants. That means the water in one hurricane weighs more than all the elephants on the planet. Perhaps even more than all the elephants that have ever lived on the planet. 64. The weight of is NOT mentioned in the passage.A. a cumulus cloud B. a tornado C. a hurricaneD. a storm cloud65. How did Peggy LeMone feel about the result of her calculations?A. She found it not convincing.B. She thought it needed further calculations. C. She was quite surprised at it.D. She considered the calculations inaccurate.66. What can be inferred from the passage?A. A storm cloud weighs about 200,000 elephants.B. The water in a hurricane weighs more than that in any other kind of cloud.C. There are less than forty million elephants living on the earth.D. The water in the cloud is in very tiny partials.DMahjong, that favorite pastime of “old folks” in Shanghai, is finding a new audience among younger players, and many university students are being mad about this traditional Chinese game. Students at Fudan University have even formed a Mahjong club.This resurgence of the game, however, is not without its critics. Some people still associate the game with gambling and for many years Mahjong was banned in China. One critic, surnamed Meng, was quoted as saying, “Mahjong is a bad custom that will distract students from studies.” But Yu Guangyuan, former vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences(中国社会科学院), says Mahjong is a “healthy, scientific, friendly mind game.”Mr. Yus opinion seems to be shared by the majority of Chinese. They see the game as an activity that requires great concentration and intellectual skill. They also see the game as an important part of Chinese culture and a pastime that brings family and friends closer together. This Spring Festival many families will no doubt spend hours around the Mahjong table getting reacquainted with each other. For them, playing Mahjong is a way of spending quality family time. No one knows who invented Mahjong. Some say it was Confucius, others say the current form of the game was developed right here in Shanghai in the late19th century. It is certainly because of Shanghai that the game enjoys its worldwide popularity. It was brought to America in the 1920s and has since spread throughout Europe and other parts of Asia. There is now a World Championship of Mahjong which is held every year. This years championship was held in Chongqing and attracted players from America, Europe and Russia, as well as students from Peking University, Tshinghua University and Nankai University. There was no prize money, but the players delighted in using their wits and their understanding of statistics and probability theory(概率论)to defeat their clever opponents.Of course, Mahjong doesnt have to always be that intense. For young people it can be a way to relax and to socialize, a chance to get away from their puters and talk to other people face to face. So, this Spring Festival, why not get out the “old folks” tiles: its good to be mad about Mahjong!6
