18.You may have heard that a young man named Abner Doubleday invented the game known as baseball in Cooperstown,New York,during the summer of 1839.Doubleday then went on to become a Civil War hero,while baseball became America's beloved national pastime.The story is untrue.Actually,Doubleday was still at West Point,a military academy in 1839,and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball.
In 1907,a special committee used weak evidence-namely the claims of one man,Abner Graves-to come up with the Doubleday origin story.The officials would rely on the myth's lasting power in the 1930s,when they established the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the village.
As it turns out,the real history of baseball is a little more complex than the Doubleday story.References to games resembling baseball in the United States date back to the 18th century.Its most direct ancestors appear to be two English games:cricket (板球) and rounder-a children's game brought to New England by the earliest settlers.By the time of the American Revolution,variations (演变) of such games were being played on schoolyards and college campuses across the country.They became even more popular in newly industrialized cities where men sought work in the mid-19th century.In September 1845,a group of New York City men founded the New York Knickerbocker Baseball Club.One of them made a new set of rules that would form the basis for modern baseball.
Cartwright's changes made the game faster-paced and more challenging from older games like cricket.In 1846,the Knickerbockers played the first official game of baseball against a team of cricket players,beginning a new,uniquely American tradition.

28.What can we know according to the first paragraph?C
A.Baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.
B.Abner Doubleday fought in the Civil War.
C.Doubleday stayed at West Point for some reason.
D.Doubleday said he had much to do with baseball.
29.Why did the Doubleday origin story come up?C
A.Because a special committee was founded.
B.Because Doubleday provided false evidence.
C.Because Abner Graves told a Doubleday story.
D.Because Abner Graves worked with Doubleday.
30.The real history of baseball isB.
A.much simpler than the Doubleday story
B.that baseball comes from two English games
C.about a children's game from New England
D.more interesting than that of rounder and cricket
31.It can be inferred from the passage thatA.
A.Doubleday might have been an army officer
B.Doubleday is the most respected in America
C.Doubleday in fact came from Britain
D.Doubleday invented rounder and cricket.

分析 现代棒球运动的起源说法不一.据有关专家考证认为:棒球运动起源于英国的板球(Cricket)和圆场球(Rounder),美国人亚历山大•乔伊•卡特赖德(Alexander Joy Cartwright)为统一名称和打法,制定了有史以来第一套棒球竞赛规则.

解答 28.C.推理判断题.根据文章第一段Doubleday was still at West Point in 1839,and he never claimed to haveanything to do with baseball.可知,在1839年Doubleday在西点.所以答案应为C.
29.C.细节理解题.根据文章第二段T In 1907,a special commission(委员会) created by the sporting goods merchant and former major league player A.J.Spalding used weak evidence-namely the claims of one man,mining engineer Abner Graves-to come up with the Doubleday origin story.可知最早是采矿工程师提出了关于Doubleday的传说.故答案应为C.
30.B.推理判断题.根据文章第三段As it turns out,the real history of baseball is a little more complex than the Doubleday story可知棒球的真正历史远远比Doubleday传说要复杂,棒球运动源于英国的板球和圆场球.故答案应为B.
31.A.推理判断题.根据文章第一段The story is untrue.Actually,Doubleday was still at West Point,a military academy in 1839,and he never claimed to have anything to do with baseball可知,Doubleday曾经在美国著名的西点军校呆过,那么他很可能是一名军人.故答案应为A.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

8.Top six ways to teach values to your child
In a consumer-driven society that broadcasts values that don't reflect what you believe,how can parents teach values to their kids?Here are ideas to help you:
Tell them your life stories and teach them through your stories,(16)B Weave some moral dilemmas and you'll get great opportunities to teach values to them.
Live your own life according to your values-walk and talk(言行一致).Kids learn by imitating,especially at a young age.Don't give them confusing signals; follow your own values evey moment.
Pay attention to who else might be teaching values to your kids.Get to know your kids'teachers,coaches,relatives,etc.(17)E Know their values and beliefs as well.
Read them fairy tales when they're younger.Fairy tales capture the imagination of kids and can easily lead to a discussion of values.(18)GInvolve your kids in art,activities,or helping others while limiting TV and video games.Kids learn values when they experience them.Allow them to experience helping others and involve them in activities that will expand their creativity.(19)C This lets your kids know that it's important and that it's not just something you talk about when they do something wrong.
Have high expectations for your kids'value system.(20)DTheir value system will often reflect yours if the expectations are high.

A.Let him know that he's not wrong.
B.Kids love to hear stories about your childhood.
C.Have frequent conversations about values in your household.
D.Kids will tend to rise to the level of expectation you have for them.
E.Anyone who spends time with your kids may be influencing them.
F.Talk to them when everyone's relaxed,and do it in a conversational manner.
G.Kids will learn the most important values when they're excited about the topic.

9.
A.Of course,you don't always need to wear a suit.
B.Besides,men care more about dress codes than women do.
C.In short--remember to keep your whole style plain and simple.
D.Companies have seen that the more relaxed attitude to dress not only promotes comfort,
but also encourages younger workers to stay.
E.All in all,not every company allows its staff to wear earrings.
F.First,let's look at color.
Getting dressed for the officeIt's clear that business wear has changed in the last few years--for both men and women.Even traditional business such as law companies have altered their dress codes from"smart"to"smart-casual".(67)D.What is less clear,however,is what"smart-casual"actually means.I hope to give you a few basic tips here.There are many factors involved:for example,the particular industry you work in,how much contact you have with the public and your position in the company.The seasons even have a part to play--what is acceptable in the summer might not be in the autumn or winter.
So,does"smart-casual"mean you can come to work in tracksuit bottoms and sandals,or does it just mean that you don't have to wear a tie?(68)F.Fashionable colors for suits for both men and women this season are still the traditional grey,dark blue and black.You see someone wearing grey and it indicates a conservative,professional image; dark blue says you're trustworthy; and black always looks smart and classy.These colors don't have to look boring,however.Try wearing a shirt or blouse with a splash of color.Pale blue,pink or lilac are better than loud colors like bright pink and dark red.
(69)A.Men can go for a sports-type jacket,with a shirt or smart jumper.You can wear well-cut trousers made of wool,or a good pair of chinos.Women can wear trouser suits or skirt suits.You can also wear more fashionable trousers and a blouse,or a skirt and top.But be careful; avoid wearing baggy,loose clothes,very short skirts and lots of logos and patterns.If in doubt,go back to the suit.You need a similar attitude to jewellery,bags and other accessories; you should try to resist large earrings and huge,colorful bags.(70)C.

3.It's finally over.We mean both the Oscar telecast,which ran as long as Gone With the Wind(though with fewer important roles for African Americans),and the three-month death march of critics'citations,guild(行业) awards and expert opinions on who'd win.In case you nodded off,Birdman took Best Picture and Director,and the acting prizes went to Eddie Redmayne for The Theory of Everything.Julianne Moore for Still Alice,J.K.Simmons for Whiplash and Patricia Arquette for Boyhood--four folks whom most people know from the speeches they gave,not the movies they were in.
This year,the only big hit among the eight Best Picture finals was American Sniper.The other seven were art-house films.You see,there is Hollywood,which makes movies the whole world watches,and there is off-Hollywood,which hatches the films that get Oscars.Somebody has to ask:Why does Hollywood hate what it does for a living?
It can be as simple as"films"are great and"movies"are rubbish.On the Rotten Tomatoes website,which shows the reviews of dozens of critics.Birdman pulled a 93 rating(out of 100)and The Imitation Game an 89.But some popular hits also scored with the critics:91 for Guardians of the Galaxy,89for Captain America:The Winter Soldier,88 for Gone Girl and a dramatic 96 for The Lego Movie.Audiences liked these four films too,paying more than 51 billion to see them in North American theaters(plus another 1.3billion dollars abroad).
So why weren't at least a couple of these films nominated for Best Pictures?Maybe simply because they were popular.They got their awards as cash prizes,not Oscar statuettes.The Oscar winners have become a category of little films about big diseases.Another disconnect between Oscar voters and moviegoers:ages.The average age of the 6.7000 Academy members is about 60,and they see most of the nominated films on screeners at home.Basically,they want movies to be television:educating,intimate dramas.The stories they respond to are not of youngsters on grand quests--the action film--but of unsung heroes battling weakness and approaching death.
The very first Oscar party,in 1929,had two Best Picture categories:one for"outstanding picture"(William Wellman's spectacle Wings),the other for"unique and artistic picture"(E.W Mumau's masterpiece Sunrise).Maybe the Academy,obsessed with indie(独立制片的) artistry,should return to the double award.Then Avatar could win along with The Hurt Locker,and Gravity with 12 Years a Slave,even the new Star Wars might have a shot.

63.It can be inferred from the last sentence of Paragraph 1thatA.
A.not many people saw the four films.
B.the four films won the awards as expected.
C.awards shouldn't be given to the four people.
D.the four actors and actresses made great speeches.
64.Why does the author mention these films in Paragraph 2?C
A.To illustrate the great films that are worth watching.
B.To explain why some films are given a higher score than others.
C.To illustrate there are films welcomed by both viewers and critics.
D.To highlight the importance of turning to critics'reviews when choosing films.
65.Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?C
A.Less emphasis should be given to moviegoers'opinions about films.
B.Oscar voters are unsung heroes fighting against weakness.
C.Being popular may prevent a film winning Oscar awards.
D.It's better to see a film in the cinema than at home.
66.What suggestion does the author give about Oscar award.B
A.Having more independent film makers nominated for awards.
B.Setting up an award for the films different from present winners.
C.Improving the standard for outstanding films.
D.Giving more chances to the greatest hits.

10.I was 17 and my job was to try to keep eight fairly active 10-,11-and 12-year-olds from killing one another or themselves.Among other activities,I would take them camping in the woods outside Dover Plains,New York.I learned that if you are going to be in the woods for a couple of days,take frosted food.You can eat them for breakfast,lunch and dinner,you don't have to cook them and they don't weigh as much as your meats and vegetables.I'll never touch another frosted food as long as I live.
The camp was for low-income black lads from New York City.During the camp,I found being out in the woods with the kids was a little scary,because I suddenly realized these are actually somebody's children and I'm responsible for them.I found myself being an authority figure because I had to.
On a camping trip we stopped at a lake to put up our tents.I was the only white person in the group.We were swimming when these white kids in a motorboat began yelling racial abuses and trying to splash(泼水)us.Then I had no choice but to warn them,"If you come anywhere near these kids,we've written down the number of your boat and we're going to call the police."
They yelled more but finally left.That experience was the biggest test of responsibility I had ever faced.
When I returned to high school after that first summer,it seemed a lot less fearful than before.Plus,I had earned $375,which after trips to the camp candy store was down to eight cents'clear profit.

25.The author took along frosted food for the following reasons EXCEPT thatA.
A.They were his favorite snacks                    
B.They were easy to carry and eat
C.They filled the belly easily                    
D.They wouldn't go bad in a couple of days

A.To teach 8 naughty kids to swim.
B.To.put up tents out in the wilds.
B.To stop the kids from bee stings.
D.To protect his campers from abuses.
27.Which word may best conclude the camp trip?B

7.China's boss of table tennis Liu Guoliang was shocked at his first sight of Japanese teenager Miu Hirano who beat three top-ranked Chinese to claim a sensational victory of the women's singles at the Asian Table Tennis Championships.
"She's much better than I had imagined,"said Liu,on the conclusion of the continental tournament(锦标赛)."When she came out the winner of last year's World Cup,I thought maybe she took advantage of the absence of the Chinese women paddlers.However,I changed my mind when I saw her play here.She's strong enough technically and mentally,and capable of beating any one in the world,"added Liu.
Hirano,who just turned 17 years old on Friday,stunned China's world No.1Ding Ning 3-2 in the quarterfinals before second-ranked Zhu Yuling 3-0 and finally seeing off world No.5 Chen Meng,also 3-0,to smash the Chinese dominance(统治)of the tournament.
"She's so young and has so many possibilities in the future,"said Liu."That makes her success more intimidating to our women's team."
In Liu's opinion,the difficulties that China faced in these Asian championships reflected the changes of table tennis world map in recent years.
"It's not just recently that Japan wants to beat China,"he said."By the end of the day,their efforts finally worked out."
The head coach,however,refused to stand all by the Japan's side."We do need to learn from the other associations,including the Japanese,who do an excellent job on youth training,"Liu said."But one failure should not lead to the whole denial to our own team.I think it's a good thing to have competitors who can pose real challenges,which makes our sport more competitive and more healthy,"he added.

28.What's the meaning of the underlined word intimidating in paragraph 4?C
A.possible     
B.certain      
C.threatening      
D.impossible
29.Why could Miu Hirano win the last year's World Cup?C
A.Because Miu made use of the absence of the Chinese women paddlers
B.Because Chinese women paddlers were weak
C.Because Miu was capable of winning the game
D.Because Liu Gouliang wanted her to win the game
30.Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.Zhu Yuling is the second-ranked in the world of table-tennis
B.Miu Hirano was defeated by Ding Ning in the quarterfinals of the Asia Table Tennis Championships
C.China's female paddlers face the great challenge
D.Female table-tennis world map has changed in recent years
31.The passage most likely comes fromA.
