The Ivy League is an athletic conference comprising eight private institutions of higher education in the Northeastern United States. The term is most commonly used to refer to those eight schools considered as a group. The term is also connected with academic excellence, selectivity in admissions, and social elitism(精英主义).

The term became official, especially in sports terminology, after the formation of the NCAA Division I athletic conference in 1954, when much of the nation polarized around favorite college teams. “IV” was used because originally the league consisted only of four members. The use of the phrase is no longer limited to athletics, and now represents an educational philosophy inherent to ( 固有的,内在的)the nation's oldest schools. In addition, Ivy League schools are often viewed by the public as some of the most prestigious (著名的)universities worldwide and are often ranked amongst the best universities in the United States and worldwide. The eight institutions are Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, Princeton University, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale University.

All of the Ivy League's institutions place near the top in the U.S. News & World Reportcollege and university rankings and rank within the top one percent of the world's academic institutions in terms of financial endowment(捐助). Seven of the eight schools were founded during America's colonial period; the exception is Cornell, which was founded in 1865. Ivy League institutions, therefore, account for seven of the nine Colonial Colleges chartered before the American Revolution. The Ivies are all in the Northeast geographic region of the United States. All eight schools receive millions of dollars in research grants and other subsidies from federal and state government.

Undergraduate enrollments among the Ivy League schools range from about 4,000 to 14,000, making them larger than those of a typical private liberal arts college and smaller than a typical public state university. Ivy League university financial endowments range from Brown's $2.01 billion to Harvard's $26 billion, the largest financial endowment of any academic institution in the world.

1.Which meaning can the term “the Ivy League” convey today?

A.The largest enrollment.                   B.The strongest government support.

C.The most expensive schools.               D.First-class education.

2.From the passage, we know the word “Ivy” in “the Ivy League” was first chosen to refer to _______.

A.a plant            B.a number          C.a sport            D.a spirit

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A.There is no longer sports competition in the Ivy League.

B.Seven colleges were set up before the USA was founded.

C.Brown University has the smallest number of students.

D.Typical public state universities are larger than the Ivies.

4.What is special about Cornell University in the League?

A.It is the oldest one.                      B.It was founded by colonists.

C.It has the smallest endowment.             D.It is the youngest one.

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A.The ABC of “The Ivy League”

B.Best Universities in the USA

C.The Financial Income of American Universities

D.How to Apply to an Ivy League University

There are many sorts of spies. There are those employed by governments to protect their countries’ interests; there are those we find in fiction and film, like the famous James Bond; and then there are the spies of the business world. But now there is a new form of espionage (间谍): sports spying. It may be a profitable job – if the spy can find a buyer for the information.

    Last week, British newspapers reported that the England national team had been secretly recorded by an unknown group of individuals.

    Media suggested that bugs had picked up a discussion of team tactics (战术), as well as playful talk about athletes’ affairs and possible rewards for players if they manage to win the World Cup.

    England officials immediately filed a suit to stop media from publishing the contents of the recordings. Little is known about the identities of the spies, but authorities doubt they have any connection to rival sides preparing for this summer’s competition in South Africa. Rather, it appears that the people who bugged the hotel meeting room are just after money. If they find the right buyer, they could get a lot of it.

    Gambling in major sports, like football, involves much more than picking the winner of a particular match. People can also place bets on starting line-ups, the timing of substitutions and goals scored. Knowing a team’s tactics for a particular game, or for a series of games, can help gamblers to increase their chances of winning big money.

    England manager Fabio Capello tried to play down the importance of game tactics. He argued that a team’s psychological preparation is the most vital. “It’s more important to train the mind, to find confidence, create a group and a winning mentality,” he said.

    Perhaps of more interest to the casual fan are the discussions of the players’ relationships with wives and girlfriends. UK newspapers may be prevented from publishing the details, but some Britons might say, the chances of the recordings never being heard are about as good as those of England winning this year’s competition: slim to none.

We may know from the first paragraph that ______________.

A. the spies mentioned are all pursuing money

B. all the spies are employed by the government

C. James Bond belongs to spies of the business world

D. if a sport spy can find a buyer, he can make money

What does the underlined word “bugs” probably mean?

A. A small insect.                               B. The devices used in the spying.

C. A kind of virus.                              D. A kind of laptop computers.

The group of individuals who spied the England national team____________.

A. are from the rival sides for sure

B. probably intended to make money

C. are involved in gambling

D. knew a winning mentality for a team is important

What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. The chance of the England team winning the African World Cup is very small.

B. Many people will never hear the recordings.

C. A fan will be more interested in the players’ relationships with wives and girlfriends.

D. No one can get any information from the UK newspapers for ever.
