27、 each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 43 Americans are getting 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

28、 has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young 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

29、also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as 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 t

30、he biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold. Soccer has been 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 ide

31、a for soccer Came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence 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

32、that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game 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

33、we have today. 44 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? （ A） Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article. （ B） More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years. （ C） Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the

34、world. （ D） The article was written before the world cup held in the United States. 45 Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students? （ A） Basketball. （ B） American football. （ C） Soccer. （ D） Tennis. 46 For how long has soccer been played in the United States? （ A） About a h

35、undred years. （ B） About fifty years. （ C） Only recently. （ D） About thirty years. 47 Who invented the modem soccer game? （ A） American Indians. （ B） British. （ C） Greeks. （ D） Romans. 48 What is the author going to state in the next paragraph? （ A） There have been attempts to start a professional s

36、occer organization in the U. S （ B） In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns. （ C） Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe. （ D） Experts believed that the United States would win. 48 The cohesiveness(内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine p

37、ractices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours what we here call “shift work“makes the lives of families difficult. Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sens

38、e of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do “whatever it takes“ to approximate their view of a proper marriage, incl

39、uding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers“ whose major responsibility is to support

40、the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children. The womens definitions of a “good husband“ are typified by the following wifes response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,

41、 expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking, when its time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife is someone who is: Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at wo

42、rk, I hope I get it at work, I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I dont want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I dont know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers. 49 Despite_,shift work couples st

43、ill hoped to maintain a stable life. （ A） traditional beliefs about marriage （ B） lack of control over time （ C） a very clear division of roles （ D） the demands of work 50 From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with_. （ A） their work （ B） their children （ C）

44、 their husbands inability to protect the family and provide companionship （ D） leisure activities 51 What is implied by the author? （ A） Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members. （ B） Shift workers could live a normal life. （ C） Shift work couples had unconventi

45、onal ideas about marriage. （ D） Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families. 52 In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,_. （ A） wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent （ B） shift work couples must administer th

46、eir time and activities （ C） wives mustnt adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands work （ D） all of these 53 The best title for this paragraph is_. （ A） Constructing Family Life （ B） Managing Time and Activities （ C） The Meaning of Marriage （ D） Living a Normal Life 53 Do you find it ve

47、ry difficult and painful to get up in the morning? This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle. During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that youre “hot“. Thats true. The time of day when you feel mo

48、st energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, Peter! Youll be late for work again!“ T

49、he possible explanation to the trouble is that Peter is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrel ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You cant change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up la
