Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first t

ime 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 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 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 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 exactly 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.

Most experts agree 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 we have today.

1.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 world

D.The article was written before the world cup held in the United States

2.Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students？()

A.Basketball

B.American football

C.Soccer

D.Tennis

3.For how long has soccer been played in the United States？()

A.About a hundred years

B.About fifty years

C.Only recently

D.About thirty years

4.What is the author going to state in the next paragraph？()

A.There have been attempts to 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

第4题

During the early American colonial years, com was more plentiful than wheat, so com breed

was more common than wheat bread. Friendly Indians showed colonists how to grow com and how to prepare it for food and pioneer women then improved the Indian cooking techniques. When people traveled, they went on foot or horseback, sleeping and eating in the forests. They carded com bread for sustenance; the com bread came to be called journey cake. Later when roads and taverns were built and stagecoaches carded passengers, journeycake became johnnycake, a name many easterners still use for corn breed. The kinds of bread made with cornmeal were-and still are-almost without limit. Every region has its specialties.

In colonial times, why was com bread more common than wheat bread？

A．The colonists preferred com breed.

B．Corn was more abundant.

C．The colonists did not know how to make wheat bread.

D．Com bread did not spoil as rapidly as wheat breed did.

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten（幼儿园), usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama

The first year of school in America, known as kindergarten(幼儿园), usually begins between the ages of five and six. Among rich countries such a late start is very strange. President Obama believes it is an economic and social problem; his education secretary goes as far as to say that it is “morally wrong”. This statement has some support,as it is clear from research into vocabulary that youngsters from poor families enter kindergarten well behind those from rich families a disadvantage that usually lasts a lifetime. Children from households on welfare knew 525 words by the age of three, while the children of professionals had mastered 1,116.

Pre-school can help close this gap. So in a speech last month, Mr. Obama called for a partnership between the federal government and the state, to expand it to every American child. It later became known that “every” meant those who come from families with incomes of up to 200% above the poverty line-equal to an income of $47,000 for a family of four.

Some critics(评论家)say that sending children to school at the age of four does not work. The evidence suggests otherwise. For example, on March 20th new results were announced from a study of 9 to 11 year olds in New Jersey. This report found that disadvantaged children who had attended preschool had better literacy(读写能力), language, math and science skills. And two years of prekindergarten were better than one.

Some studies also follow the effects of early learning over lifetimes, such as its effect on crime rates and other factors that may eventually burden society. Critics have singled out a government scheme called Head Start, created in 1965, which provides poor households with a range of services including school-based early education.

21. The kindergarten in other rich countries usually begins()than in America.

A. earlier

B. later

C. slower

22. Which is TRUE about the vocabulary size of the two groups of kids？

A. Poor preschool kids have a larger vocabulary than rich ones.

B. Rich preschool kids have a larger vocabulary than poor ones.

C. There is no obvious difference between the two groups of kids.

23. Which of the following about the New Jersey study is TRUE？

A. There is no evidence to support the New Jersey study.

B. Two years of prekindergarten were better than one.

C. Sending children to school at the age of four is not going to help.

24. The phrase “single out” in the last paragraph means().

A. count

B. think about

C. choose

25. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage？

A. Secondary Education.

B. Preschool Education.

C. Poor Kids' Education.

rly from cold and hunger, he decided to go shooting in a wood near his cottage(小屋，村舍).

Then, looking at Pat with suspicion, he said, “But why are you out so early in the morning？” “Well, sir,” said Pat, “I just came out to see if I could get a breakfast for my appetite.” The whole crowd burst into laughter at Pat’s ready wit, and with a smile Lord Northwood walked on, leaving Pat to try his luck with the rabbits.

Questions are based on the following passage．Knowing that you are paid less than your pee

Questions are based on the following passage．

Knowing that you are paid less than your peers has two effects on happiness．One is negative: athinner pay packet hurts self-esteem （自尊）．The other is called the "tunnel" effect: the income gap isseen as improving your own chances of similar riches．

A paper co-authored by Felix FitzRoy of the University of St．Andrews separates the two effectsusing data from household surveys in Germany．Previous work showed that the income of others canhave a small， or even positive， overall effect on employees" satisfaction in individual finns in Denmarkor in very dynamic economies， such as Eastern Europe．But Mr．FitzRoy"s tean~ proposed that olderworkers， who largely know their lifetime incomes already， will enjoy a much smaller tunnel effect．Thenegative effect on reported levels of happiness of being paid less than your peers is not visible for peopleaged under 45．In western Germany， seeing peers" incomes rising actually makes young people happier．It is only those people over 45， when careers have "reached a stable position"， whose happiness is harmed by the success of others．

The prospect of more than 20 years of hard work might make retirement seem more attractive．Those with jobs are no happier after they retire， however， perhaps because their lives already agree with social expectations．Unemployment is known to damage happiness because not working falls shortof social expectations．Pensions or increased leisure time cannot make up for the loss of social acceptance．Unemployed people are dissatisfied with their life not only because they have lowerincomes， but also because they may get low and negative recognition from others．

Indeed， retiring early from work can have side-effects．Another paper， co-authored by AndreasKuhn of the University of Zurich， investigates the effect of a change in Austrian employment-insurancerules that allow blue-collar workers earlier retirement in some regions than others．Men retiring a yearearly lower their chance of surviving to age 67 by 13%．Almost a third of this higher death rate seemed

to be concentrated among those who were forced into early retirement by job loss．The death wascaused by smoking and alcohol consumption．If you"re in a job， even when you are paid less， hang on in there．

One of the effects of lower pay than your peers‘ is that（）．

A.it can motivate you to struggle for a similar salary

B.it can inspire you to argue with your manager

C.it may make you feel proud of your peers

D.it may force you to quit your current work
