Task 1 Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D.

17、You should make the correct choice. 36 The word “sport“ first meant something that people did in their spare time. Later in often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spent a lot of

18、their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be such sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can m

19、ake a lot of money. For example, a football player in England earns more than 50,000 pounds in a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is possible for middle class people to engage in sports like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing abou

20、t sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say “Buy our things.“ It says, “Buy the same shirt and shoes as.“. Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the com

21、panies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for peoples spare time. 36 A professional sportsman is someone who _. （ A） makes money in his spare time （ B） play all the time （ C） earns money by playing a sport （ D） play for his country and

24、y by advertising （ D） there is no answer Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 The wide spread of the photographic industry has led to a greater demand for skilled technicians in darkrooms and photographic laborato

25、ries. However, qualified workers are hard to find, because not many people seem to be attracted to this kind of work. Some people like to take pictures during their holidays, but they seldom produce their pictures all by themselves-that is the work of a photographic technician. Although it may not b

26、e easy to spend a full working day in the darkroom, it can be very satisfying to produce carefully processed photographs. Especially, if one can produce a very good photograph of high quality, his sense of achievement is gained. Besides achieving job satisfaction, the photo technician can move on in

27、to production if he or she desires. For instance, the technician may choose to learn related skills such as photo restoration or photo retouching. Of course, these will make photo production more like an art, and it is not easy to become skilled in these kinds of work. Although it is a good idea to

28、seek classroom theory and technical knowledge, the individual interested in becoming a darkroom technician will learn the most by actually working in a photographic laboratory. The use of photograph in research and development is increasing. Therefore, the need for more technicians will undoubtedly

29、increase. 41 Which of the following is not the work in the photographic industry? （ A） Photo retouching. （ B） Photo restoration. （ C） Darkroom work. （ D） The sale of the film rolls. 42 In processing, if you produce a very good photograph of high quality, you will feel _. （ A） special （ B） sad （ C） s
