　　Football is，I believe，the most popular game in England：one has only to go to the important matches to see this.Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.

　　To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have.He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams.He will tell you who he expects will win such a match，and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

　　Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves.In England it is believed that education is not only a matter filling a boy's mind with facts in the classroom：education also means the training of character;and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games，especially team games;where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team，instead of working for oneself alone.The school therefore plans games and matches for its students.Football is a good team game.It is good both for the body and the mind.That's why it is every school's game in England.

　　36.In Passage 1，“this” probably means________.

　　A.people often go to football games

　　B.people，rich and poor，young and old，play football

　　C.football is the most popular game in England

　　D.people usually shout at each other in a football match

　　Paula Radcliffe，chasing a third London marathon title，says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

　　Radcliffe，who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000 m last August，said，“Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”

　　“In the past I wanted to please everyone，but I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

　　She did not care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan，who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

　　“Liz is someone I look up to but she has not spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me，I am sure she would have contacted me.”

　　Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

　　“In New York I was not in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”

　　Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday's race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

　　However，Radcliffe has not ruled out in the future chasing her‘final'world record time and questioned saying that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world­class times.

　　“I do not think that—although I_cannot_put_a_number_on_it.”said Radcliffe.“That changes from person to person.”

　　Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future.Following a successful three­month training period in the United States，the 31­year­old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

　　Radcliffe clocked a time of 2：18：56 in her first 42.2­kilometre 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 2003 London event.

　　40.Radcliffe's failure in Athens made her________.

　　A.develop respect for Liz

　　B.love people around her more

　　C.rest for five months

　　D.face criticism calmly

　　解析　细节理解题。由it made me care less about criticism可知。

　　答案　D

　　41.Which of the followings is TRUE according to the passage?

　　A.Radcliffe broke the world record in New York City Marathon.

　　B.Radcliffe did not fully recover before the New York City marathon.

　　C.Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.

　　D.Radcliffe had a 3­month training before the New York City marathon.

　　解析　细节理解题。由I wasn't in my best state可知。A、C两项文章并没有提到，D项应是在London marathon之前。

　　答案　B

　　42.By saying“I can not put a number on it.”Radcliffe means she is NOT sure________.

　　A.if she has the ability to set a new world record

　　B.if she can win another race though she has won many times

　　C.how many times a marathon runner can set the world record

　　D.if she has the ability to produce four or five world­class times

　　解析　推理判断题。由上文提到的world record time可知，数目指的是次数。

　　答案　C

　　C

　　Heading off to college this year?Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind：

　　Dress to impress：Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says，“Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network.You don't need to dress like you're going to the office，but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence，and look put­together.”

　　Logo mania(品牌狂热症)：Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group，so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at.It's tempting to load up on logos，especially well­known logos that signify high­end brands.But consider this：college is a time of self­discovery，a chance to develop your own personal style.Instead of wearing logos head to toe，“walking advertisement”­style，why not express who you really are?

　　Wear real pants：The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses.Smith points out that leggings，yoga pants，and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless you're exercising.Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls，they are not an appropriate choice for daywear.As a young woman，your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level.So，get rid of leggings and wear real pants!

　　Keep the cute factor to a minimum：Stay away from sweaters and T­shirts with smiling animals，cartoon characters，or Hello kitty on them.Sure，kittens might be cute，but they're not doing you any favors in the style department.Dressing too cutesy can take years off your look，and not necessarily in a good way!

　　Babies might seem a bit dim in their first six months of life，but researchers are getting smarter about what babies know，and the results are surprising.

　　The word “infant” comes from the Latin，meaning “unable to speak”，but babies are building the foundations for babbling and language before they are born，responding to muffled sounds that travel through amniotic fluid.

　　Soon after birth，infants are keen and sophisticated observers，capable of seeing details in the world that are visible to some other animals but invisible to adults，older children and even slightly older infants.

　　Recently，scientists have learned the following：

　　At a few days old，infants can pick out their native tongue from a foreign one.

　　At 4 or 5 months，infants can lip read，matching faces on silent videos to “ee” and “ah” sounds.

　　Infants can recognize the consonants and vowels of all languages on earth，and they can hear the difference between foreign language sounds that elude most adults.

　　Infants in their first six months can tell the difference between two monkey faces that an older person would say are identical，and they can match calls that monkeys make with pictures of their faces.

　　Infants are rhythm experts，capable of differentiating between the beats of their culture and another.

　　The findings，presented in the latest issue of the journal Science，is that infants just 4 months old can tell whether someone is speaking in their native tongue or not without any sound，just by watching a silent movie of their speech.This ability disappeared by the age of 8 months，however，unless the child grows up in a bilingual environment and therefore needs to use the skill.

　　In fact，all the skills outlined above decline somewhere around the time infants pass the 6­month mark and learn to ignore information that bears little on their immediate environment.

　　The new study involved showing videos to 36 infants of three bilingual speakers reciting sentences.

　　After being trained to become comfortable with a speaker reciting a sentence in one language，babies aged 4 and 6 months spent more time looking at a speaker reciting a sentence in a different language，demonstrating that they could tell the difference.

　　47.From the text，we can see babies are better at ________.

　　A.speaking B.listening

　　C.reading D.writing

　　解析　推理判断题。从文中的研究发现可知。

　　答案　B

　　48.The word “infant” originated from ________.

　　A.English B.German

　　C.Greek D.Latin

　　解析　细节理解题。由第二段的第一行可知。

　　答案　D

　　49.Which of the following do you agree to according to the passage?

　　A.The findings were published in a newspaper.

　　B.Soon after birth，infants can see details in the world as well as adults.

　　C.Infants 6 months old are capable of telling the difference between two monkey faces，which is beyond an older person.

　　D.Infants can read the consonants and vowels of all languages on earth.

　　解析　推理判断题。由“Infants in their first six months can tell the difference between two monkey faces that an older person would say are identical，”可知。

　　答案　C

　　50.What is the writer's attitude in writing this passage?

　　A.Supportive. B.Defensive.

　　C.Objective. D.Persuasive.

　　解析　推理判断题。本文是一篇科普性文章，作者“客观”地描述了研究发现的结果。因此答案为C。

　　答案　C
