第二部分：阅读理解 (共45分)

第一节 (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

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel it very difficult to make a decision about their children's careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It's very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing.

Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help can not be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child's development-and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive.

Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

41. This article is most probably taken from________.

A. a letter B. an advertisementC. a personal diary D. a newspaper article

42. According to the passage, parents whose children show a special interest in a sport _______.

A. feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sports men or women

B. try to get financial(财务的)support from the government for their children's training

C. have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods

D. prefer their children to be trained as young as possible

43. The underlined phrase"to take a second place"means_________.

A. to repeat the activities at some other place B. to become less important

C. all things considered, they are of poor quality D. to happen againB　　John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-meter-high castle tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.

"I love the space, and being private," Elizabeth says. "You feel separated from the world. If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I am in!"

There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Except for that, it's a brilliant place to live.

"When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look."

"Living here can be difficult-yesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to the sea on a clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I am really glad we moved. "

44. What is the writer trying to do in the text?

A. describe how to turn an old tower into a house

B. recommend(推荐) a particular builder

C. describe what it is like to live in a tower

D. explain how to win prizes for building work

45. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth's feelings about the tower?

A. She wanted it as soon as she saw it.

B. She likes most things about it.

46. What problem does Elizabeth have with living in such a tall building?

A. Her visitors find it hard to see if she is at home.

B. She feels separated from others.

C. She cannot bring home lots of shopping at once.

D. It is impossible to clean any of the windows.

47. How will John and Elizabeth advertise their tower if they sell it?A.　　B.C.D.CC

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human Being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.

What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn't know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn't.

Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam(堵塞) if the operator typed too fast.

These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.

The only thing I got out of football was the ability to work hard," says Gales Sayers. So what do you do after your glory days on the field are over? Here's what one of the top players, Gales Sayers, did after he put down the pigskin.

Gales Sayers: aged 40,Chicago Bears, Running Back.

Gales Sayers became famous in 1965. After recovering from a serious knee injury in 1968, Sayers returned to the Bears in 1969 and was awarded the George Halas Award as "the most courageous player in professional football." At the award ceremony. he owed his prize to his friend and teammate Brian Piccolo, who was dying of cancer.

Sayers couldn't outrun (escape) the injuries, though, and another blow to his knee put an end to his football career in 1971. His personal life was unfortunate as well, when he and his wife, Linda, separated that year. Shortly after that, Sayers started a new life and career as an assistant athletic director in the University of Kansas. By 1976 he was moving up the ladder at Southern Illinois University, becoming the first African-American athletic director at a major university.

Sayers, the youngest player to be ever listed into the National Football League's Hall of Fame, started a computer supplies company in 1984 with his second wife, Adie, whom he married in 1973. The couple was looking for a field with a future, and computers seemed to have it all. Seventeen years later, the company that bears his name is a national provider of technology solutions, with 10 locations and over 350 employees across the country. Just like in the old days, the honors started rolling in. Sayers was listed into the Chicago Area Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame in 1999.

57.What does the underlined part "he put down the pigskin" mean in the first paragraph?

A.Sayers ended his football career.

B.Sayers was too tired to go on playing.
