Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.Sports change with the seasons. 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 bee good friends. Sports help to train a persons character. One learns to fight hard but fight fair, to win without pride and to lose with grace.36According to this passage we know that_.Apeople began to play pingpong about one hundred years agoBabout 100 years ago people ran or jumped when they playedCbasketball has a longer history than volleyballDnot all the games have a long history37The writer didnt tell us in this passage that_.Abasketball was invented in AmericaBsports change with the seasonsCgames and sports often grow out of peoples work and everyday activitiesDfootball is played all over the world38According to this passage, which of the following is NOT true?ASports help to train a persons character.BPeople swim only because there are a lot of rivers in their country.CPeople from different countries may not be able to understand each other before a game.DSports and games can develop the friendship between people all over the world.39A lot of people have more free time from their work to enjoy sports because_.Athey like sports very muchBthey want to live longerCthey want to make a lot more friendsDthey dont have to go to work on Saturday or Sunday as beforeBThe 1936 Olympic Games had been handed to Berlin before the Nazis came to power but now it was the perfect opportunity for Hitler to show to the world how efficient the Nazi Germany was. It was also the perfect opportunity for the Nazi to prove to the world the reality of the Master Race. By the time over 4,000 athletes from 49 countries arrived at Berlin, the stage was set for Nazi to show off.Germanys superstar of the time was Langbrilliant long jumper. By far the most famous athlete in the world was Jesse Owens of Americaan African and therefore, under Nazi ideology(意识形态), inferior to the athletes in the Germany team.The“racially inferior”Owens won four gold medals in the 100m, long jump and 4100m relay. During the Games he broke 11 Olympic records and defeated Lutz Lang in a very close long jump final. The German was the first to congratulate Owens when the long jump final was over. There were 10 African Americans of the American team. Between them they won 7 gold medals, 3 silvers and 3 bronzesmore than any national team won in track and field at the Game. Hitler refused to hand over the gold to Owens. Germany won only five bined gold medals in mens and womens track and field, but face for the“master race”in the overall medal count with an 8956 margin(差数)over the United States.The one area where the Nazi seemed to excel(超过)was in the use of radio for the reports. Twenty transmitting vans(转播车)were provided for foreigners along with 300 microphones. Radio broadcasts at the Olympics were given in 28 different languages.40The Nazi Germany_the 1936 Olympic Games.Aexpected a lot ofBcame to power afterCwasnt well prepared forDdidnt wele foreign athletes to41Which of the following is true according to the text?AThe underlined word“inferior”should mean“better”BThe underlined word“inferior”should mean“worse”CLutz Lang was good at running and jumping.DGermany had much better athletes than any other country.42At the 1936 Olympic Games_.AOwens jumped much farther than Lutz LangB145 medals were, in all, offered to all the athletesCLutz Lang made Germany lose faceDGermany surpassed the USA in the number of medals43We can draw a conclusion that_.Athe Nazi government was quite satisfied with the 1936 OlympicsBHitler performed very gracefully during the 1936 OlympicCthe Nazi government reached only part of its aim at the 1936 OlympicsDthe Nazi government didnt provide reports as good equipment as expected toCMt. Qomolangma was first conquered in 1953, when Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tenzing, his guide, became the climbers to reach the top. More than 750 times have people tried to conquer the mountain, but not all successful, yet every climber knows the dangers. This doesnt stop teams of climbers arriving at the base camp every year with the courage of reaching the top.Two such climbers, and two unlucky ones are Scott Fischer and Rob Hall. Fischer, an American guide with much experience, was lost in a terrible storm which swept across the mountain. A rescue team found him and his friend, but didnt manage to bring Fischer to safety in the terrible conditions because he was dying. New Zealander Rob Hall, another experienced climber and guide, was lost near the top. These two men had something in mon: they were both guides and always took a group of less experienced climbers up the mountain.There is a lot that can go wrong in an action to reach the top of Mt.Qomolangma; a sudden change in weather conditions or a wrong turning. Planes will only be sent to rescue if they have been paid for in advance. In spite of all these there is a business in leading guided tours to the top. Wealthy mountain climbers can now pay 64, 000 or more to achieve their aim.Many people wonder how guides can hope to look after their inexperienced climbers when they fail to keep themselves alive. Steve Bell, also a guide who has recently led a team to Mt Qomolangma, believed that they are safer than others, because the guide can ask a weak climber to turn back at any point if he feels that climber is a danger to the team.Whether these expeditions (远征) are safe or not, many climbers feel they have turned Mt. Qomolangma into a business, like a park for the very rich people. One truth, however, will always remain：it doesnt matter how much money you have, if you make a mistake on Mt. Qomolangma, the possible result will be death.44From the passage we can know _.Abefore 1953 people had tried to reach the mountain top over 750 times.Bits difficult and dangerous to get to the top of Mt.QomolangmaConly a few climbers bee successfulDup to now the climbers have conquered the mountain around 750 times45In the third paragraph the underlined word “tours” refers to “_”Atrips BclimbsCguides Dgroups46Although those who can afford to climb Mt.Qomolangma are very rich, yet the mountain _， according to the writer at the end of the passage.Atreats them as mon lifeBis not like a park for themChas been turned into a businessDdoesnt bring lots of money to themDA couple of years ago, before a trip to China, Nicole Davis and her US womens volleyball teammates were warned about the prominence(显著、突出)of coach“Jenny”Lang Ping in her native country.“I was pushed over by Chinese journalists while I was just trying to put my luggage on the bus，”said Davis.Known as the “Iron Hammer”for her punishing spikes(扣球), Lang made it possible for China to dominate in the sport in the early 1980s. She was a key player on Chinas 1984 Olympic gold medal winning team.When the US team arrived for the Olympics, Lang, 48, who is from Beijing, had to take a different route to avoid a crowd of reporters and fans.Then came the greatest moment to Lang：While the US team was playing in a packed gym, at least 8 000 Chinese fans unfurled an American flag.“That really says it all，”Davis said，“They look at her as an icon(偶像). Im sure its hard for them to see her coaching another country, but they love her so dearly that her success is their success.”The loyalty of the Chinese fans was tested on Friday, when China lost a match to the US.“Its a pity that China lost the match, but Im still glad that Lang Pings team won, since she is the pride of Chinas volleyball，”said Liu Chengli, a spectator.“We also cheered for Langs victory.”Lang said she just tried to stay professional when the two teams meet. “It doesnt matter if we play China or any other_team. Its the same.”Lang said.Davis said she and her teammates could not have imagined the passion for volleyball among Chinese because the sport was lack of popularity in the US. The reception from Chinese fans has touched the US players, said US volleyball player Lindsey Berg. “Its such an honor to be here and play for our coach here in China，”she said. “The amount of support that the Chinese give to her and us has been tremendous. The whole event has been unbelievable.”47Whats the passage mainly about?AStaying professional.BCheering for the“Iron Hammer”CA match between China and the US.DLang Pings career as a coach.48Lang Ping avoided meeting the reporters and fans probably because she_.Awas afraid to be questioned about her strategyBdidnt want to be paid much attention toCdisliked to be with her fansDdidnt want to disturb public order49What does the underlined word“unfurled”exactly mean?ADestroyed pletely.BTore into pieces.CSpread out to the wind.DRolled up.50What does Lang Ping mean by saying“It doesnt matter if we play China or any other team”？AAmerican Volleyball Team will beat any team.BChinese Volleyball Team is the same as other teams.CShe just tried to stay professional.DThe results of each match will be same.51What impressed the US team players most?AThe tolerance of Chinese people.BThe popularity of volleyball in China.CLang Pings coaching skills.DThe loyalty for volleyball of the Chinese.EBoxing (拳击)matches were very popular in England two hudred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with bare fists (赤手空拳) for prize money. Because of this, they were known as “prizefighters”. However, boxing was crude, for there were no rules and a prizefighter could be seriously injured or even killed during a match.One of the most colorful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of gloves was not introduced until 1860, when the marquis (侯爵) of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. He brought science to the game. Even to this day, Mendoza enjoyed great popularity. He was loved by rich and poor alike.Mendoza rose to fame quickly after a boxing match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted the attention of Richard Humphries who was the most famous boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that Humphries turned against him. The two men quarreled bitterly and it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a flight. A match was held at Stilton, where both men fought an hour. The public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated. Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile, he founded a highly successful academy and even Lord Byron became one of his pupils. He earned large sums of money and was paid as much as 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in 1836.52Whats the meaning of the underlined word “extravagant” in the last paragraph?Apoor BgenerousCwasteful Dhelpless53Why did Richard Humphries offer to train Mendoza?ABecause young Mendoza showed his unusual gift for the game.BBecause the match Mendoza had attended led to his early fame.CBecause Humphries wanted to make himself a superior boxer to Mendoza.DBecause Humphries wanted to train Mendoza as his assistant.54Which of the following is Not true?A200 years ago, boxers were more likely to get seriously injured.BMendoza has never been remembered since he was beaten.CMendoza earned a lot of money but his money ran out quickly.DHumphries became Mendozas teacher at first but enemy in the end.55After the matches between Humphries and Mendoza, _.AMendoza lost much money to the publicBHumphries got much money from the publicCHumphries became champion of England after and hours fightDthey finally settled their argument
