All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy，happy and help them to live longer.
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.
Games and sports often grow out of people's 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 to 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 become good friends. Sports help to train a person's character．One learns to fight hard but fight fair，to win without pride and to lose with grace．21．The writer didn't tell us in this passage that ________.

As a young man, Tom was a famous artist with a wife and two fine sons. One night, his elder son was ill. Tom and his wife thought it was nothing serious. But the boy died suddenly that night.
After his son died, Tom always felt very sad. To make matters worse, his wife also left him later, leaving him alone with his six­year­old younger son, Emie. Sadly, he turned to alcohol(酒) for help.
As time went by, Tom began to lose everything he had—his land, house, etc. A few months later，Tom passed away alone in a small bar. Hearing of Tom's death, I thought, “What a complete failure！”
But later, I began to change my earlier opinion. I knew Tom's now adult son, Emie. He is one of the kindest, most caring men. I saw the love between Emie and his children. And I thought that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
One day, I asked him what made him become such a special person. Emie said quietly, “My father came into my room every night, give me a kiss and said, ‘Love you, son.’”
Hearing his words, I understood everything. Tom didn't leave many things behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and left behind his best love.
24．How many sons did Tom have?
A．One. B．Two.
C．Three. D．Four.
25．What did the writer think of Tom when he heard of his death?

While inventions like the wheel and the Internet have changed the way the world works today, there are some creations that never quite got off the ground. Let's look at the strangest inventions from across the globe.
THE TOMATO­FEEDING ROBOT
Japanese juice seller, Kagome, invented a robot that will feed you tomatoes with its long metal arms extended on either side of your face while you run. Originally created for the Tokyo Marathon, the robot even has a timer so that tomato­eating runners won't use up their supply too quickly.
THE ROLLING BENCH
It's lunchtime and many people may be looking for a park bench to sit on, but the rain has made every surface humid. This is when the rolling bench comes in. When one side is too wet, a handle on the side can roll up another dry side for better sitting conditions. The inventions come from designer Sung Woo Park, from Seoul in South Korea.
THE LED SLIPPERS(拖鞋)
We all hate hurting our toes in the dark, but a revolutionary footwear design can prevent this from happening again. The slightly strange LED slippers are designed to be comfortable, yet shine your path at night. With two in­built LED lights at the top of each slipper, the users can direct their toes at any area that needs light.
THE FOOT­POWERED BICYCLE
It's the unusual invention of German designers Tom Hambrock and Juri Spetter. Besides an unusual appearance, its function is also slightly strange, as the user must run to get the bicycle moving. As soon as the riders have enough momentum(动力), they're able to rest their feet on the back wheel and use the handlebars to control its direction.
28．What can we know about the tomato­feeding robot from the text?
A．It's popular with lazy eaters.
B．It was the creation of a Korean.
C．It was designed for a sports event.
D．It has two plastic arms.
29．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “humid” in the text?
A．Dirty. B. Wet.
C．Unsafe. D. Uncomfortable.
30．Which invention was designed for its users' safety?
A．The LED slippers.
B．The rolling bench.
C．The foot­powered bicycle.
D．The tomato­feeding robot.
31．What can we infer about the inventions mentioned in the text?
A．They bring us speed improvement.
B．Their inventors are all from Asia.
C．They are powered by electricity.
D．They can serve us in different ways.
D
As we all know，behavior and words sometimes have different meanings in some countries or areas，which is called cultural differences. For example：Shaking the head in most countries means “no”，while in India it me ans “yes”．In Latin America，especially Brazil and in many other countries，including China，showing the thumb upwards means everything is “OK”，while it is understood in Greece as a rude sign.
Laughing is connected in most countries with happiness—in Japan it is often a sign of confusion.
In the UK and Ireland，the word “compromise” has a positive meaning (an agreement where both parties win something)；in the USA it may rather have negative meanings (both parties lose something)．
In some European countries，it is normal，or at least widely accepted，to arrive half an hour late for a dinner invitation but in Germany this would be extremely rude.If invited to dinner，in many Asian countries，it is well­mannered to leave right after the dinner: the ones who don't leave may indicate they have not eaten enough. In the European and North American countries this is considered rude，indicating that the guests only wanted to eat but wouldn't enjoy the host's company．
In Africa，saying to a female friend that she has put on weight means she is
physically healthier than before，while this would be considered as an insult in Europe，North America and Australia.
32．Where does “showing the thumb upwards” have a bad meaning?
A．In Greece. B．In Mexico.
C．In China. D．In Brazil.
33．What behavior may be impolite in the USA?
A．Arrive half an hour late for dinner.
B. Have food left on the plate.
C．Leave right after the dinner.
D. Eat up the food immediately.
34．What is special about Africa?
A．You can express your puzzlement by laughing.
B. You can praise women for their gaining weight.
C．“Compromise” has a positive meaning.
D. Shaking the head means “yes”．
35．What is the best title for the text?
A．Strange Behavior in Some Countries
B. Customs Are Different in Some Countries
C．Some Typical Examples of Cultural Differences
D. Cultural Values Should Be Paid Much Attention to

High­t echnology Around Us
AI­MATHS, an artificial intelligence robot, took this year's national college exam known as gaokao, which has aroused much public concern on the rapid development of high­technology. Undoubtedly, advanced science and technology has foun d its way into our everyday life. For instance, in some special work environment, artificial intelligence helps humans to get some work done, like dangerous work, work of high labor intensity, etc. Not only can it reduce the burden of work, but also tends to be more efficient and time­saving. In addition, it is AI that brings our life unprecedented convenience and comfort. Even separated by thousands of miles, we can still easily communicate via high­tech. What's more, high­tech contributes a lot to further exploring our space.
However, it is also a double­edged sword. While we enjoy its convenience, the problem of privacy and safety it has caused can't be overlooked. Besides, it is likely to lead to certain unemployment with an increasing number of artificial intelligence robots replacing humans in some fields.
Through the above analysis, we'd better take high­tech reasonably and employ it according to the circumstances we are in. Only in this way can we make the best use of。
