Sports in America take various forms: organized competitive struggles，athletic games，hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal，so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer，and pro-fessional baseball teams play well into the fall.Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It's not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players as well on each team，and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country.Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football，basketball originated in the US and many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. And the famous NBA games are considered the best of this game.Other sports attracting a great many people in-clude wrestling，boxing and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen，the exactness of the term is questionable，as only thejockeys who ride the horses in the races can be con-sidered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators，who do not come primarily to see the horses race，but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.16.

The underlined word “jockeys”in the last para-graph refers to .A. the person who bets upon the raceB. the person who cares about horse-racingC. the rider who enjoys watching the raceD. the rider who competes in horse-racingBSports shoes that work out whether their owner has done enough exercise to warrant time in front of the television have been devised in the UK.The shoes named Square Eyes contain an elec-tronic pressure sensor and a tiny computer chip to record how many steps the wearer has taken in a day.A wireless transmitter passes the information to a re-ceiver connected to a television，and this decides how much evening TV viewing time the wearer de-serves，based on the day’s efforts.The design was inspired by a desire to fight against the rapidly ballooning waistlines among Brit-ish teenagers，says Gillian Swan，who developed Square Eyes as a final year design project at Brunel University to London，UK. “We looked at current issues and childhood overweight really stood out，”she says.“And I wanted to tackle that with my de-sign.”Once a child has used up their daily allowance gained through exercise，the television automatically switches off. And further time in front of the TV can only be earned through more steps.Swan calculated how exercise should translate to television time using the recommended daily amounts of both. Health experts suggest that a child take 12，000 steps each day and watch no more than two hours of television. So，every 100 steps recorded by the Square Eyes shoes equals precisely one minute of TV time.Existing pedometers（计步器）normally clip onto a belt or slip into a pocket and keep count of steps by measuring sudden movement. Swan says these can be easily tricked into recording steps through shaking. But her shoe has been built to be harder for lazy teen-agers to cheat. “It is possible，but it would be a lot of effort，” she says. “That was one of my main design considerations.”21. According to Swan，the purpose of her designproject is to .A. keep a record of the steps of the wearerB. deal with overweight among teenagersC. enable children to resist the temptation of TVD. prevent children from being tricked by TVprograms22.

The proper amount of daily exercise and TVtime.D. The way of changing steps into TV watchingtime.24. Compared with other similar products，the newdesign ______.A. makes it difficult for lazy teenagers to cheatB. counts the wearer’s steps through shakingC. records the sudden movement of the wearerD. sends teenagers’ health date to the receiver25. Which of the following would be the best title forthe text?A. Smart Shoes Decide on Television TimeB. Smart Shoes Guarantee More ExerciseC. Smart Shoes Measure Time of ExerciseD. Smart Shoes Stop Childhood OverweightCSYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 2019，Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well，chatting about sport，life and “anything else that came up”.Yet in Sydney next month，they will meet again by the pool，and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly（蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.Gould，now a 47-year-old mother of four，has announced she will be making a return to elite compe-tition（顶级赛事）to swim the one event，having set a qualifying（合格的）time of 30. 32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her come-back comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.Schipper，now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for first Olympics，yesterday recalled（回忆）her time with Gould five years ago.“I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train，” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Aus-tralian team. It was really interesting.”Next time，things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nations，so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould，” said Schipper，who burst onto the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.26.

Following a successful three-month training period in the United States，the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2019 and again 12 months later.Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.Afterwards she set a “mixed course”mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2019 London event.31.
