It is mainly an indoor game, and the season extends from late autumn, through the winter, to early spring. There are many professional teams; but for the most part, basketball is a school sport. There is hardly a high school or college in the country that does not have its team.In spring and summer, the most popular sport is baseball. During the warm weather, you can see young men and boys playing this game in any part of the country. Radio and television bring the details of the big games to every corner of that land, and the activities of the professional teams are a subject of conversation for Americans everywhere.In autumn, the most popular sport is football. As you know, this is not the same kind of game that is so popular in other parts of the world. Like basketball and baseball, it is typically American, and those who have never seen it before have difficulty in seeing any sense in it. But for most people the game itself is not so important as the music and the cheering that go with it. On a cool bright autumn afternoon, there is nothing so colorful and exciting as a football game.1.

To many people，the cause is clear: we eat too much．But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910，we find that people were thinner than today，yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically，walked more，used machines much less，and didn’t watch television．Several modem studies，besides，have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than thinner people. In fact，some research work，such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers，reports that fat people eat less man thinner people on average．Studies show that thin people are more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost．The more he ran，the greater was his need for food. Thus，those who ran the most ate the most，yet lost the greatest amount of body fat. 6．What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have? CA．They are too thin. B．They work too hard·C．They are too fat. D．They lose too much body fat·7．Based on the information given in this article，suppose there are 500 grown-up Americans, about how many of them have a weight problem?

CA．Yes，there are plenty of them．B．Of course，there are facts to show this is true.C．There are hardly any scientific facts to support this．D．We don’t know because the information is not given.9．Compared with the grown-up Americans today，the Americans of 1910____A_____.A．ate more food and had more physical activitiesB．ate less food but had more activitiesC．ate less food and had less physical activitiesD．had more weight problems10．What have some modem medical and scientific researchers reported to us? A A．Fat people eat less food and are less active.B．Fat people eat more food and are more active.C．Fat people eat more food but are less active.D．Thin people run less but eat more food.答案：6-10CDCAAPassage 3We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book．Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down．While I watched，mouth open in surprise，Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold．She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop．She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up，Mum nodded and said，“Very dirty floors．”“Yes．I'm glad they’ve finally decided to clean them．”the nurse answered．She looked at Mum strangely said. “But aren’t you working late?”Mum just pushed harder，each swipe of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall．I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book．After a long time Mum came back．Her eyes were shining．She quickly put the mop back and tookmy hand．As we turned to go out of the door，Mum nodded politely to the nurse and said，“Thank you．”Outside，Mum told me，“Kate is fine．No fever．”“You saw her，Mum?”“Of course．I told her about the hospital rules，and she will not expect us until tomorrow．Dad will stop worrying as well．It’s a fine hospital．But such floors!

That at least is what people say. Women are called “the weaker sex”, or, if men want to please them, “the fair sex”. But boys and girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous（著名的）Prime Ministers（总理，首相）, scientists （科学家）and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women’s bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile（英里）in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women’s time is always slower than men’s, but some facts are a surprise（惊奇的事情）. Some of the fastest women swimmers（游泳运动员）today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16. The first “Tarzan” in films was on Olympic swim mer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 59.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later!This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions（情况，情形）are very different now, and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone（荷尔蒙）injections（注射）. At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated when there are two separate sexes!16.Women are called “the weaker sex” because __B___.A．women do as much work as men B．people think women are weaker than menC．sport is easier for men than for women D．in sport the two sexes are always together17．Which of the following is true?__B_____A．Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B．Women do not run or swim in races with men.C．Famous Prime Ministers are women.D．Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.18.“That at least is what people say.” means people __C___.A．say other things too B．don’t say this muchC．say this but may not think so D．only think this19．What problems does sport have? ___B____A．Some women athletes are actually men.B．Some women athletes are given hormone injections.C．Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D．It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.20.In this passage the author implies that __C___.A．women are weaker than men, but faster B．women are slower than men, but strongerC．men are not always stronger and faster than womenD．men are faster and stronger than women答案：16-20 BBCBC四、翻译题Translate the following sentences into Chinese.把下列句子翻译成汉语。
