正确答案：D

Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport feel very difficult to make a decision about their children’s careers. Should they allow their children to train to become top sports men and women? For many children it means starting school work very young, and going out with friends and other interests have to take a second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to train five hours a day, even at the weekend, when most of his or her friends are playing. Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is available from government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given, it means that it is the parents who have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development — and sports clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment, etc. can all be very expensive. Many parents are worried that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early age. Some doctors agree that young muscles may be damaged by training before they are properly developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by training young that you can reach the top as a successful sports person. It is clear that very few

people do reach the top, and both parents and children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

20． This article is most probably taken from______. A．a letter

B．an advertisement C．a personal diary D．a newspaper article

正确答案：D

21． According to the passage, parents whose children show a special interest in sport______.

A．feel uncertain if they should let their children train to be sports men or women B．try to get financial support from the government for their children’s training C．have to get medical advice from doctors about training methods D．prefer their children to be trained as young as possible

正确答案：A

22． Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A．By starting young, children won’t have much time for their school work. B．Early training may damage their muscles.

C．Most children may become professional sports people after a long period of training.

D．It’s very expensive for parents to support their child’s development in sports.

正确答案：C

23． The phrase “take a second place” means______. A．to repeat the activities some other day B．to become less important

正确答案：B

When you are travelling, whether on business or for pleasure, you often need to stay in a hotel. The kind of hotel you choose probably is decided above all according to how much money you want to spend. There are small hotels with very few services, where the prices are low, or there are large hotels with all the very latest comforts, where you could spend all the money you have in the bank for one very comfortable night. There are several different kinds of people who go to hotels.

Some want to live, rather than just stay, in a hotel; the hotels which are designed to meet their needs are called residential hotels. However, most people who stay in hotels are either business people or tourists on holiday. In most hotels, there are two kinds of rooms: single rooms, for the use of one person, and double rooms, for the use of two people. In addition, in large hotels, there are also suites (套房), which include two or more rooms connected together — perhaps a bedroom and a living room. They are for people who are very rich or very important.

24． One’s choice of a particular hotel is based on______. A．how much one is willing to pay for a night

B．whether one is travelling on business or for pleasure C．whether the hotel is in the central part of a city D．how good the services of the hotel are

Phone books have white, blue and yellow pages. The white pages list people with phones by last name. The blue pages contain numbers of city services, government services, and the public schools. Business and professional services are

listed in a special directory — the Yellow Pages. The area covered by one area code may be small or large. For example, New York City has one code area, but so does the whole state of Oregon. There is an area code of map of the US and Canada in the front of the white pages. Pay phones have numbers in the US. This means you can call a friend at a phone booth. Or if you are making a long distance call and run out of money, give the number on your phone to the person you are talking to. Then hang up the receiver and they can call you back. If you make a long distance call and get a wrong number, call the operator and explain what happened. This means that you can make the call again to the right number without having to pay more money; or you can have the phone company mail you a credit coupon that has the same value as the phone call. Some companies advertise a service called WATS. You can dial a special number without a long distance charge. These are called “toll free numbers” and the area code for all of them is 800. WATS means Wide Area Telephone Service.

正确答案：B

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action — a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug (小虫子) in his ear — maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked (忽略) that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else “How do you feel?” Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to take a train, or sitting at his desk working, please don’t ask him that silly question. When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him. “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age”, he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
