Don’t Take the Fun Out of Youth Sports
When I joined a private football league a few years ago,the sport meant everything to me.My coach(教练) said that I had lots of potential(潜力),and I became captain of my 36.That was before all the fun was taken out of 37.
At first,everyone on the team got 38playing time.Then the team moved up to the top division after winning all its games,and the 39 started.Some parents,who had paid the coach extra money so their daughters could have 40 one－to－one training,got angry when she didn’t give them more playing time in our 41.The coach was replaced. The new coach,however,took all the fun out of the game:All we did during practice was 42.I always wished to God that it would rain so we would not have the 43.Of course,all teams run drills;they are 44.But we ran so much that,afterwards,we had trouble 45.Younger people shouldn’t be doing exercises 46 for 18－year－olds.
I was very thin 47 I started football,but as a member of this team I wouldn’t eat much,because I was afraid of being too 48 to run.I feared making mistakes,and the added pressure caused me to make more than my usual 49.
Is all this pressure necessary?I 50 up leaving the football team.Four other girls
did the same,and two of them stopped playing football completely.That’s 51,because they had so much potential.They were just burned－out with all the pressure they
52 from the coach and their parents.
I continued playing football at school and 53 my love for it.I joined a private team coached by my school coach.When I started playing 54 him,he told me I needed to relax because I looked nervous.After I 55 down,I played better.When you enjoy something,it’s a lot easier to do it well.
36．A.class B.club C.team D.board
解析根据上文“我的教练说我很有潜力”可以判断，我成为我所在足球队的队长。

答案 C
37．A.playing B.living C.learning D.working
解析根据第二段的内容可得出答案。

这是一句过渡句，用它来引出下文。

答案 A
38．A.great B.equal C.right D.extra
解析注意第一句的At first和第二句中的Then。

本句意为：开始时，队里的每个队员都有同样的踢球机会。

答案 B
39．A.business B.struggle C.attempt D.pressure

答案 B
41．A.matches B.courses
C.lessons

解析首先要弄清本句的主句部分，即首先排除由who引导的定语从句对主句理解的干扰。

当贿赂教练的家长见到教练没有给自己的孩子较多的比赛机会时就生气了。

match指(球类)比赛。

B、C两项是“课程”的意思。

D项是“节目，程序”的意思。

答案 A
42A.jump B.play C.run D.shoot
解析作者希望下雨，目的是他们可以不做那种训练，即跑步训练。

根据本句意思，显然C项为最佳答案。

答案 C
43A.duty B.meeting C.operation D.training
解析句意：如果下雨的话，我们就不会再训练。

答案 D
44A.necessary B.boring C.scientific D.practical
解析这里作者承认：所有的（足球）队员都要做跑步训练，所以作者认为跑步训练是“必要的”，但不能只是跑步训练。

答案 A
45A.speaking B.moving C.sleeping D.breathing
解析由于教练只让队员做跑步训练，导致这些队员喘不过气来。

答案 D
ed B.intended C.made D.described
解析句意：年幼的孩子不应做18岁（成人）做的训练（强度）。

答案 B
47A.till B.since C.before D.because
解析本句是在说明参加足球队以前的情况，后面一句介绍入足球队后的情况，这才符合逻辑。

答案 C

解析根据上句“I wouldn’t eat much”可以判断作者不愿吃得太多是因为吃得太饱可能会跑不起来。

答案 A
49A.size B.share C.space D.state

作者怕犯错误，而增加的压力又使她比应犯的错误要多。

答案 B

解析由于有了那些没有必要的心理压力，作者只得离开足球队。

end up doing sth.以……告终，其他选项很显然与题意不符。

答案 C
51A.sad B.shameful C.silly D.serious
解析另外四个选手也相继离开了足球队，并且有两个彻底告别了足球。

她们也很有潜力，这自然是一件令人伤心的事。

答案 A
52A.received B.suffered C.brought D.felt
解析根据定语从句的语法知识，排除B项。

本句中的they指那些退出足球队的队员，C 项brought是“带来”的意思，在逻辑意义上不通，故也要排除；而先行词是pressure“压力”是一种心理行为，所以felt要优于received，所以D项为最佳答案。

答案 D
53A.reconsidered B.rediscovered C.reformed D.replaced
解析由于作者继续在校园里踢足球，且过去也曾由于心理压力对足球失去兴趣，所以又爱上足球应为“rediscovered my love for it”。

答案 B
54A.at B.by C.for D.around
解析play at sb.“扮演、装某人”。

句意为“当我为他踢足球的时候，……”。

答案 C
55A.fell B.stepped C.slowed D.calmed
解析因为作者开始看上去紧张,教练告诉她放松,放松后,她踢得更好了。

calm down意为“镇定下来”。

答案 D
第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。

A
Until a few hundred years ago,music was hardly ever written down.For this reason,we do not know the names of the earliest composers.Early music was based on single
tunes,or melodies(旋律).Later,several tunes were combined into one song,or a piece of music.Among early composers of many tuned music were Palestrina in Italy,and the Englishman William Byrd.
A further musical development was opera.This has a story set to words and music.Monteverdi was the first great operatic composer.Among others are Purcell,Wgners.Verdi,Puccini,and Richard Strauss.
Music was also written for instruments played alone,or together in an ORCHESTRA.The best of this is known as CLASSICAL MUSIC.The greatest composers of classical music are Bach,Handel,Haydn,Mozart,and Beethoven.Some of these composers also wrote church music,opera,and songs.
During the nineteenth century,many composers wrote romantic music.This kind of music appeals to(吸引) the listener’s feelings and imagination.Among the best金太阳新课标资源网known composers born in the nineteenth century are Schubert,Berlioz,Mendelssohn,Chopin,Schumann,Liszt,Brahms,Tschaikovsky,Elgar,Ma hler,Debussy,and Sibelius.
Twentieth century music frequently sounds different from earlier music.A composer whose work is often performed now is the Hungarian Bela Bartok.At first,people found Bartok’s style harsh and ugly.Today it is understood better.
The Austrian Arnold Schoenberg invented a new method of composition.He introduced 12金太阳新课标资源网note music instead of old scale of eight notes.Today,a number of composers write electronic music as well as ordinary music.
56We don’t know the names of the earliest composers because .
A.early music was mostly about the single tunes
B.people of that time seldom wrote the music down
C.early music was too difficult to understand
D.people of that time did not love music
解析细节理解题。

由文章第一段“Until a few hundred years ago,music was hardly ever witten down.For this reason,we do not know the names of the earliest composers”可以推知选项B正确。

答案 B
57The composers who brought in 12－note music in composition is .
A.Mozart
B.Schubert
C.Arnold Schoenberg
D.Beethoven
解析细节理解题。

与文章第六段的“The Austrian Arnold Schoenberg invented a new method of composition.He introduced 12金太阳新课标资源网note music instead of old scale of eight notes”对应可知答案。

答案 C
58Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Some greatest composers of classical music also wrote church music,songs and opera.
B.We can know some names of the earliest composers who lived several hundred years ago.
C.Opera always has a story set to words and actions.
D.Music in the 20th century sounds the same as earlier music.
解析正误判断题。

由文章第三段的“The greatest composers of classical music are Bach,Handel,Haydn,Mozart,and Beethoven.Some of these composers also wrote church music,opera,and songs”可知应选A。

答案 A
B
In photography,a new line of digital cameras that store pictures on memory chips(芯片) rather than film is fighting it out with Advanced Photo System(APS) models.APS is basically a smaller,more convenient version of 35 mm film.In a show of unity,Eastman Kodak and Fuji Photo Film—companies truly dislike each other—worked with camera金太阳新课标资源网makers to come up with a new design that solves some of photography’s most basic problems.With APS cameras,film cartridges(胶卷盒) are simply dropped in and thread(装胶卷) themselves.You also get a choice of three picture sizes(standard,wide and full view),and the prints come back with a visual index sheet(能看到图像的索引单) to make finding pictures and ordering reprints easier.
More magical,APS film has a magnetic strip(磁条) that can be used to record picture information about lighting conditions,flash use and other variables in addition to basics like date and picture number.In theory,these data allow photo printers to improve pictures taken by APS cameras that are“ix” (information exchange) models.These cameras cost more than $100,often much more.In future models,the APS magnetic strip may be used to capture voice or,even to record a digital version of your film picture.For now,APS picture quality is roughly the same as 35金太阳新课标资源网mm film.And like 35金太阳新课标资源网mm,APS is available in different film speeds to match varying light conditions or make fastaction shots.The best part about APS technology is that it is affordable.Many of these tiny models will sell for $400,but more basic APS cameras are available for as little as $50.“I think APS will in the end replace 35金太阳新课标资源网mm film for users,”says Ted McGrath,president of photography group at Fuji Photo Film USA Inc.
59．The first paragraph of the passage suggests that Eastman Kodak and Fuji Photo Film companies before.
A.seldom got along well
B.were good partners
C.were suited to each other
D.always united as one
解析细节理解题。

从第一段中的“panies truly dislike each other”可知，柯达和富士两家公司在此前的关系相处得并不好。

答案 A
60．What’s the main advantage of APS cameras that are “ix” models in theory?
A.Their picture information can be used to make the pictures better.
B.Their price is not less than $100,often much more.
C.Their APS magnetic strips may be used to record voice.
D.Their picture quality is the same as that of 35－mm film.
解析细节理解题。

本题所问这种相机的优点，既然是相机的优点，就应以所照照片的质量为主。

B项是指其价格，C项是指其附加的录音功能，D项也并不能说明其优点。

这三个选项都不合题意。

而A选项是指“图片信息能制作出更好的照片”，这当然是相机的主要优点，符合题意。

这一点也可从第二段第二句看出。

答案 A
61According to Ted McGrath, in the future.
A.many small APS cameras will sell for $200 to $400
B.digital cameras with APS will take the place of ordinary ones
C.more basic APS cameras are available for only $50
D.APS will be replaced by 35金太阳新课标资源网mm film for users
解析细节理解题。

从第二段最后的“‘I think APS will in the end replace 35金太阳新课标资源网mm film for users,’says Ted McGrath,...”中可直接找到答案。

句中的replace与B选项中的take the place of同义。

答案 B
62The best title for this passage may be .
A.Digital Cameras with APS
B.A New Product
C.Advanced Photo System
D.Eastman Kodak & Fuji Photo Film
解析主旨大意题。

本题要求根据文章内容选择一个最为恰当的标题。

从文中描述的细节，如：性能、功能、优点、价格以及其前景，都是围绕着A选项的Digital Cameras with APS ——带有高级成像系统的数码相机，所以A项正确。

答案 A
C
Since life is short and the world is wide,the sooner you start exploring it,the better.Soon enough the time will come when you are too tired to move farther than the terrace(阳台) of the best hotel.Go now.
No need,you may say,to tell that.But what I do need to tell you is that you will meet with a surprising amount of opposition the moment you try to set out.Rubbish,you will reply.More people go abroad nowadays than ever before;never has travel,particularly among the young,been more strongly visits,of international exchanges.Perhaps not;but none of this,my dear young friends,is travel.Travel is not going on a round coach trip for $67 in all,or spending ten days at a hotel by the sea.Travel is when you went to see how much money and resources you have and then set out,alone or with chosen friends,to make an unhurried journey to a distant goal without a set date for your return.
Real travel,then is independence in action,and is not liked by most parents.They don金太阳新课标资源网t mind your going in a school party to Athens,because they know just where you are and when you’ll be back,and they can therefore permit you the imagination of freedom without for one second letting you beyond their control.But what they cannot bear is that you should travel all on your own,without giving them your address and return date.In fact,their fears are quite reasonable because that shows how much they love you.So in order to enjoy real travel and at the same time put your parents金太阳新课标资源网 mind at ease.It would be really important for you to bear the following advice in mind.
63．Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.People travel to foreign countries more than before.
B.Young people are less encouraged to travel abroad.
C.People should not go on a round coach trip for $67.
cational visits should not be encouraged as they are not real travel.
解析细节理解题。

通读全文用排除法可选出正确答案。

B项文章中没提到；C项与现实和文章内容不符；D项文章中没提及。

第一段中有“More people go abroad nowadays than ever before”,故选A。

答案 A
64．What does real travel mean according to the writer?
A.It means telling your parents nothing about the travel.
B.It means not knowing where you want to go.
C.It means traveling to a distant goal in an unhurried manner.
D.It means traveling without any plan.
解析推理判断题。

本题是对real travel进行定义，综合最后一段对real travel的描述可知。

答案 C
65Your parents allow you to travel in a school party because .
A.they want you to be truly free
B.you are still under their control
C.they don’t have time to travel with you
D.they know it’s good for you
解析推理判断题。

从文章中的“...because they know just where you are and when you金太阳新课标资源网ll be back,and they can therefore permit you the imagination of freedom without for one second letting you beyond their control.”可推知答案。

答案 B
66．According to the writer,when you do real traveling,you should .
A.never mind how worried your parents are
B.give your parents your address and return date
C.tell your parents details about your travel

According to the dictionary definition of “create”,ordinary people are creative every day.To create means “to bring into being,to cause to exist”—something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First this involves an awareness of our surroundings.It means using all of our senses to know our world.This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste,when we plan a meal.Above all,it is the ability to notice things others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things.If we believe the expression “there is nothing new under the sun”,the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways.For example,we might do this by finding
a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture,or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of your new ideas,to apply them to achieve some new results.To think up a new idea is one thing,to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius,but they are also involved in our day－to－day activities.

A.To prepare a meal.
B.To arrange the furniture in a special way.

If you are asked to chair a meeting,remember the following six golden rules for meeting management.
1.Always start the meeting on time.If you begin on time,group members who show up late will realize the value of time.Beginning on time reflects skill as an effective
time manager and sets a precedent(前例) for others to follow.
2.Assign a note－taker or arrange to have the meeting audio－taped.You may need to refer back to an issue that was discussed during the meeting at a later date.Good record金太阳新课标资源网keeping is a sign of good meeting manager as well.
3.Learn to listen.So many times we think we are going to say and,in the process,block out valid points that other group members may be contributing.Additionally,we often hear only what we want to hear,rather than really listening to other people.Meetings that are characterized by effective listening are successful meetings.
4.Keep the discussion on track.Many times important issues can get sidetracked in
a meeting,especially when everyone has a different opinion about the topic.If you anticipate(预料) a conflict prior to the meeting,discuss the issue with participants in advance.If an unanticipated(未预料到的) conflict develops once the meeting is in progress,either appoint a subcommittee(小组委员会) to look into the problem,or ask participants involved in the conflict to meet with you after the meeting.Doing so will help keep the discussion on track and minimize the chances of wasting participants－ valuable time.
5.Give everyone an opportunity to be heard.Some people tend to monopolize(独占) meetings,whereas others wait to be asked their opinions.As the leader of the meeting,you need to keep an open mind and make sure everyone feels welcome to contribute and express ideas without criticism.
6.End on time.If you said the meeting would last no longer than one hour,make sure the meeting last for only an hour.Meeting participants tend to plan the rest of their day around the time allotted(分配) for the meeting.Running late with a meeting makes members tardy(迟的) for other appointments,increases the chances that members will mentally leave the meeting,and reduces your credibility(可信性) as an effective meeting manager.
71According to Rule 1,if you don’t start a meeting on time,which of the following statements is FALSE?
A.You’re not an effective meeting manager.
B.Some members won’t attend meetings later.
te－comers won’t realize the importance of being on time.
