27、er the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 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,

28、 soccer or football 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

29、 States. The study 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 year s

30、 world cup will be the 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 e

31、xactly where the idea 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.

32、 Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modern 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

33、 differed from those we have today. 46 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 dev

34、eloping sport in the world. （ D） The article was written before the world cup held in the United States. 47 Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students? （ A） Basketball. （ B） American football. （ C） Soccer. （ D） Tennis. 48 For how long has soccer been played in the United S

35、tates? （ A） About a hundred years. （ B） About fifty years. （ C） Only recently. （ D） About thirty years. 49 Who invented the modern soccer game? （ A） American Indians. （ B） British. （ C） Greeks. （ D） Romans. 50 What is the author going to state in the next paragraph? （ A） There have been attempts to

36、start a professional soccer 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. 50 The cohesiveness(内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on members sha

37、ring certain routine practices 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 level

38、s of stress and a sense 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

39、 proper marriage, including 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 respons

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

41、 would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking , when it s 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.

42、 I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don t know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers. 51 De

43、spite_, shift work couples still 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 52 From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with （ A） their wo

44、rk （ B） their children （ C） their husbands inability to protect the family and provide companionship （ D） leisure activities 53 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

45、work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage. （ D） Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families. 54 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 wor

46、k couples must administer their time and activities （ C） wives mustn t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands work （ D） all of these 55 The best title for this paragraph is_. （ A） Constructing Family Life （ B） Managing Time and Activities （ C） The Meaning of Marriage （ D） Living a Nor

47、mal Life 55 Do you find it very 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 you re “hot“. That s true. T

48、he time of day when you feel most 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 Y

49、oull be late for work again!“ The 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 can t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you re sleepy in the evening bu
