A. accomplishment B. complained C. forward D. fruitless E. absolutely F. processing G. room H. convinced I. neglected J. crowding K. boring Despite decades of efforts to promote soccer to American youth and sports fans, soccer remains the ____41____ stepchild of the American sports scene. Indeed, even when the American men’s team was competing in the World Cup, the response from the nation was a great big yawn. So why don’t Americans like soccer? There appear to be two basic explanations. The first is that the “marketplace” for sports in this country is already filled with the big four: baseball, football, basketball and hockey, leaving no ____42_____ for soccer to grow in popularity. As a soccer journalist wrote, American filled its own sports space with four games, thus ____43____ out soccer’s chances of becoming part of America’s sports culture. However, I’m not ____44_____. Marketplaces are dynamic. If soccer were a worthy object of the American sports fan’s interest, then it would enjoy greater popularity. But is doesn’t, which brings me to the second common explanation for its lack of popularity: soccer is ___45_____. Soccer players pass the ball backward too much. American are used to going ____46______ in sports, to attack the basket or go for the end zone(美式足球中的得分区). In soccer, it’s a pass backward here, another pass backward there, then another, and so on. In addition, sometimes the ultimate purpose of soccer seems to be engaging in lots of efforts to accomplish ____47____ nothing. As a blogger ____48____ during the 2006 World Cup, the first round isn’t over yet, and there have already been five 0-0 draws, five matches in which nobody scored. My theory is that Americans have neither the belief system nor the character for such a _____49_____ sport as soccer. Americans do not labor for the sake of laboring; and we like our sports teams to score. Scoring is a touchable ____50____ that can be identified, compared, and, above all else, increased. This is the American way. Section B Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (A) Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to b

e as careful as they must today. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them; often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers. Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed the need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information that governments could not ignore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disasters or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries; however, the new rules came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill. Today many governments have special departments that protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department that tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking the laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars that we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products. 66. What is the passage mainly about? A. Conditions in the work place. B. The freedom of industries in the past. C. Changes in industrial production. D. The safety and health of workers and customers.9 / 11

A. testing new products B. designing new products C. controlling the sale of products D. inspecting work places (B) About this time every year, I get very nostalgic (怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children fi

lled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and won’t be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of

my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod. There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child. 74. The writer finds it hard to accept the fact that _____________. A. many of his good neighbors are growing old B. the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widow C. the life of his neighbors has become very boring D. the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life 75.

Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Women are a rare breed in science and technology --- not because they are less skilled in those areas or because they face specific gender barriers to entering these fields, but because they may find better opportunities else where, according to a long-term study by a team of researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. The group analyzed data from 1,500 students of above average intelligence. They were first surveyed in 1992 when they were high school seniors and then re-interviewed at age 33.

The results showed dramatic differences by gender in the areas in which men and women excelled. Among those who had the highest scores on both the verbal and the math sections of the SAT, for example, nearly two-thirds were female, while only 37 percent were male. However, the rate of women choosing STEM (science, technology, engineering or medicine) careers remains low. Are women discouraged from these fields, or are they simply not interested in them for other reasons?

To find out, the researchers questioned participants about how good they thought they were at those subjects and how much they enjoyed them. For those who think they are best at English, it may not matter that they may also be math geniuses compared with their peers. They tend to play to their strengths and pick what comes easiest. That may be why fewer women enter STEM fields. Cultural stereotypes may also indirectly push women away from scientific fields. If you are highly skilled in two areas but one is more in line with social stereotypes and has richer social support, it’s not surprising that would be the talent you choose to develop.

And social forces in this area are powerful. In fact, data from nearly 300,000 students in 40 countries who took an international test showed that in countries where women are treated more equally no gender gap exists in math and science scores. And in more equal countries, women are seen as equally capable of math performance, making the pursuit of careers in science and technology easier.
