第1题:

When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling, he means ________.

[A] observers are taking a wait and see attitude towards the future of euthanasia

[B] similar bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries

[C] observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes

[D] the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop


正确答案:B
57. [B] 意为:美国、加拿大及其他国家也可能批准类似法律。
   第二段最后一句指出,在美国和加拿大“死之权利”运动正在集结力量,观望者正在等待多米诺骨牌开始倾倒。多米诺骨牌是一种西洋骨牌游戏;游戏中将许多长方形的骨牌竖立排列成行,碰倒第一张时,其余骨牌将依次纷纷倒下。用于比喻时,这种游戏指一系列的连锁反应,即:牵一发而动全身。这里喻指:澳大利亚的形势会波及北美等国家,引起类似的做法。
   A意为:观察者对安乐死的未来持观望态度。根据对 B 的分析,观察者等待的是是否美、加等国会在对安乐死的态度方面步澳之后尘,通过类似立法,而并非是指他们对安乐死态度暖昧、莫衷一是。
   C意为:观察者正等待看多米诺游戏的结果。这种解释未免太拘泥于字面的意思。
   D 意为:所批准的法案的影响也许会最终停止。与原文不符。

第2题:

资料:Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, cycling or swimming, or in winter, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some forms, football, hockey, golf, or tennis. It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment. Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship, and to take risks on high mountains? This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game. There are no man-made rules, as there are for such games as golf and football. There are , of course, rules of a different thing that it would be dangerous to ignore, but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports, we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a 'team game'. We should be mistaken in this. There are ,it is true, no 'matches' between 'teams' of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend, there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than men. He has to fight the forces of nature. His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve in skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps. They may take more time than younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort, and their certainly experience equal enjoyment.

The difference between a sport and a game has something to do with the kind of ___.

A.activity
B.rules
C.uniform
D.participants

答案:B
解析:
本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】difference; between a sport and a game; has to do with
【主题句】第3自然段Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no man-made rules,as there are for such games as golf and football.登山是一项运动,而不是一项比赛。它没有人为的规则,而像高尔夫和足球这样的比赛是有规则的。
【解析】本题的问题是“运动和比赛的区别在于什么?”。根据主题句可知,一项运动和一项比赛的区别在于有没有规则,故选B。

第3题:

The author enjoys watching golf games on TV because _____.

[A] access to drinks makes the game more joyful

[B] a more enjoyable view of the game is provided

[C] he is thus unaffected by the result of the game

[D] that is more likely real appreciation of the game


正确答案:C
本题考查了事实细节。文章第一段的后半部分提到,作者在观看电视中的高尔夫球赛时,可以体验到一种比赛本身缺少的冷静,他在沙发上伸展四肢,然后对结果保持漠不关心的态度。由此可看出,[C]项是看电视上的比赛和亲身经历的区别所在,也就是作者可以享受观看比赛的原因。[A]、[B]项的joyfulenjoyable是题干中enjoys watching的同义表达,并没有给出造成这种结果的原因。[D]项是文中没有提到的观点。

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and sum-mer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exact-ly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the coun-try,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to foot-ball because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble” primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

Many Americans like basketball better than football because the latter is so harsh that players have to wear special uniforms.

题干意为“在美国,男人们,无论老少,都喜欢打猎和钓鱼”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语hunting, fishing, men, US作为定位线索,同时关注题干中的修饰词young, old,这样找到相关句Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing,相关句意为“在美 国,运动有各种各样的形式:有组织的比赛争夺,吸引着众多的人群去为他们最喜欢的队取得胜利而喝彩,为了消遣只要能找到足够的场地就举行的竞技活动,此外,还有打猎和捕鱼。” 由相关句可知“打猎和钓鱼是美国人的两种运动形式”,但至于什么样的人喜欢打猎和捕鱼却没有提到,短文的其他部分也没有谈到这样的内容,因此是否主要是男人们喜欢打猎和捕鱼 是从短文中无法获取的信息。

第一篇

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity.It may be walking,cycling or swimming,or in winter,skating or skiing. It may be a game of some kind of football,hockey,golf, or tennis.It may be mountaineering.
Those who have a passion for climbing high and difficult mountains are often looked upon with astonishment.Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship,and to take risks on high mountains?This astonishment is caused probably by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of activity to which men give their leisure.
Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no manmade rules,as there are for such games as golf and football.There are,of course,rules of a different kind which it would be dangerous to ignore,but it is this freedom from man-made rules that makes mountaineering attractive to many people.Those who climb mountains are free to use their own methods.
If we compare mountaineering and other more familiar sports,we might think that one big difference is that mountaineering is not a"team game".We should be mistaken in this.There are,it is true,no "matches " between "teams"of climbers,but when climbers are on a rock face linked by a rope on which their lives may depend,there is obviously teamwork.
The mountain climber knows that he may have to fight forces that are stronger and more powerful than man.He has to fight the forces of nature.His sport requires high mental and physical qualities.
A mountain climber continues to improve the skill year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty,and most international tennis champions are in their early twenties.But it is not unusual for a man of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the Alps.They may take more time than younger men,but they probably climb with more skill and less waste of effort,and they certainly experience equal enjoyment.

Choose the best title for the passage:_________
A:Mountaineering Is Different from Golf and Football
B:Mountaineering Is More Attractive than Other Sports
C:Mountaineering
D:Mountain Climbers

答案:C
解析:
推断题。根据第二段第二句:Why are men and women willing to suffer cold and hardship , and to take risks on high mountains?为什么那些男男女女们愿意忍受寒冷和艰辛去高山上冒险呢? 由此可以推断登山运动会涉及辛苦、身体上的风险和寒冷。
推断题。根据第三段第一、二句:Mountaineering is a sport and not a game.There are no manmade rules , as there are for such games as golf and football.登山是一项运动,而不是一种比赛。没有像高尔夫和橄榄球那种类型的比赛所具备的人为制定的规则。由此可知运动和比赛的区别是和规则有关系。
