Section C (12 marks)
Sports should help a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also for life. If two teams play 28 game, one team must lose. 29 a dozen teams attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the 30 eleven teams will get 31 points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face.
32 that team and that school must do is to admit that it loses. The only intelligent reaction 33 defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote 34 to a stricter course of training under competent instructors(有能力的教练)．
Lessons learned in sports can help us in our dealing with other people. 35 even more valuable are the lessons learned in extra­curricul ar activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.

Part Ⅲ Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
(2012·洞口高一上期末)Why do people play sports and games? Because they are fun and a lot more besides: building up our health...following the rules...acting as a team member.... These are all “game” ideas that you will meet with throughout your life.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope­jumping,
hide­and­seek (捉迷藏) and playing soldiers. Such games are entertaining and a lot of fun. But perhaps more importantly, they teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow in the rest of their lives, such as obeying the rules, taking turns and cooperating (合作)．
Many children's games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown­ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand­eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
When we grow up, we don't play those “silly” games any more. We begin to play basketball, football, tennis and chess and so on. We may play them for fun, for a better health and even for honor. Some even play them to make a living.
Many sports and games encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes (运动员) from around the world together to take part in friendly competitions. People who watch the event will wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just for the athlete who earns it. For countries experiencing natural disasters(灾难) or a war, an Olympic win can mean a lot more.
Sports are also an event that unites people. Football and basketball are the most popular sports in the world. People on all continents play them. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian football player, has discovered a way to spread hope through football. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only football balls but also a promising future.
To conclude, we say that sports and games can do a lot of good to us as well as to our society. Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects (方面) of your life.
51．________
(2012·凤凰县华鑫中学高一下月考)It seems that the Englishman just cannot live without sports of some kinds. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown­ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men always remains boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it?
Taking all amateur(业余的) and professional(职业的)sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the US. The game started in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or association football, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.
The next is rugby, which is called football in the US. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. In rugby, an oval­shaped(椭圆形的)ball is used which can be held by hand as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.
In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to almost every country in the world.
Table tennis, or ping­pong, surely is not played as much as it is in China and Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popu larity. Horse­back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.
61．What's the main purpose of Paragraph 1? (no more than 11 words)
______________________________________________________________
62．What are the differences between football and rugby from the passage? (no more than 10 words)
______________________________________________________________
63．According to the passage, which games were never played in Britain until the late 19th century? (no more than 3 words)
______________________________________________________________
64．What is the BEST title for this passage in your opinion? (no more than 4 words)
