27、ing ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of y

28、oung Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States. The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as

29、 the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this years world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold. Soccer has been

30、played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evi

31、dence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer. Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the gam

32、e around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today. 46 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? （ A） Ame

36、 whole towns. （ C） Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe. （ D） Experts believed that the United States would win. 50 Judging from recent surveys, most experts in sleep behavior agree that there is virtually an epidemic of sleepiness in the nation. “I cant think of a single study that hasnt foun

37、d Americans getting less sleep than they ought to,“ says Dr David. Even people who think they are sleeping enough would probably be better off with more rest. The beginning of our sleep-deficit crisis can be traced to the invention of the light bulb a century ago. From diary entries and other person

38、al accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries, sleep scientists have reached the conclusion that the average person used to sleep about 9. 5 hours a night. “The best sleep habits once were forced on us, when we had nothing to do in the evening down on the farm, and it was dark.“ By the 1950s and 1960

39、s, that sleep schedule had been reduced dramatically, to between 7.5 and 8 hours, and most people had to wake to an alarm clock. “People cheat on their sleep, and they dont even realize theyre doing it,“ says Dr David. “They think theyre okay because they can get by on 6.5 hours, when they really ne

40、ed 7.5, 8 hours or even more to feel ideally vigorous.“ Perhaps the most merciless rubber of sleep, researchers say, is the complexity of the day. When ever pressures from work, family, friends and community mount, many people consider sleep the least expensive item on his programme. “In our society

41、, youre considered dynamic if you say you only need 5.5 hours sleep. If youve got to get 8.5 hours, people think you lack drive and ambition.“ To determine the consequences of sleep deficit, researchers have put subjects through a set of psychological and performance tests requiring them, for instan

42、ce, to add columns of numbers or recall a passage read to them only minutes earlier. “Weve found that if youre in sleep deficit, performance suffers,“ says Dr David. “Short-term memory is weakened, as are abilities to make decisions and to concentrate.“ 51 People in the 18th and 19th centuries used

43、to sleep about 5 hours a night because they had _. （ A） no drive and ambition （ B） no electric lighting （ C） the best sleep habits （ D） something to do in the evening 52 According to Dr David, Americans _. （ A） are ideally vigorous even under the pressure of life （ B） often neglect the consequences

44、of sleep deficit （ C） do not know how to relax themselves properly （ D） can get by on 6. 5 hours of sleep 53 Many Americans believe that _. （ A） sleep is the first thing that can be sacrificed when one is busy （ B） they need more sleep to cope with the complexities of everyday life （ C） to sleep is

45、something one can do at any time of the day （ D） enough sleep promotes peoples drive and ambition 54 The underlined word “subjects“(Line 1, Para. 4) refers to _. （ A） the performance tests used in the study of sleep deficit （ B） special branches of knowledge that are being studied （ C） people whose

46、behavior or reactions are being studied （ D） the psychological consequences of sleep deficit 55 It can he concluded from the passage that one should sleep as many hours as necessary to _. （ A） improve ones memory dramatically （ B） be considered dynamic by other people （ C） maintain ones daily schedu

47、le （ D） feel energetic and perform adequately 55 Thousands of years ago man used handy rocks for his surgical operations. Later he used sharp bone or horn, metal knives and more recently, rubber and plastic and that was where we stuck, in surgical instrument terms, for many years. In the 1960s a new

48、 tool was developed, one which was, first of all, to be of great practical use to the armed forces and industry, but which was also, in time, to revolutionize the art and science of surgery. The tool is the laser and it is being used by more and more surgeons all over the world, for a very large num

49、ber of different complaints. The word “laser“ means: light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. As we all know, light is hot, any source of light - from the sun itself down to a humble match burning - will give warmth. But light is usually spread out over a wide area. The light in a laser beam, however, is concentrated. This means that a light with no more power than that produced by an ordinary electric light bulb bec
