Or walk along Pennsylvania Avenue and go on a guided tour of the US Capitol Building, the US Supreme Court and the White House, which has been the US presidents official home since 1800. As for the White House, tours are only made Tuesday through Saturday from 7：30 am to 11：30 am.Later, spend an afternoon at the Smithsonian Institution, which is made up of nine museums along the Mall.

In 1905 alone, at least 18 people died and more than 150 were injured playing football. According to The Washington Post, at least 45 football players died from 1900 to October 1905. Roosevelt liked football and thought being violent wasnt necessarily a bad thing. But his son was injured while playing as a freshman at Harvard, bleeding badly from a cut over his eye, and the nation was shocked at the number of young men who died or were seriously injured playing the game. People were especially shaken by the November 1905 death of Union College player Harold Moore, who died after being kicked in the head.A movement rose up to ban (禁止) the sport, which was led by the president of Harvard and a number of other wellknown people. They thought football had no place in civilized (文明的) society and wanted to throw it away. According to The New York Times, Harvard President Charles Eliot said that football was crueler than fighting. Other schools didnt even allow students to play football. Roosevelt wanted to reform the game but complained in a letter that Eliot wanted to kill it.Roosevelt again called Harvard, Yale and other football coaches and officials to the White House in December 1905, with a view to taking away its dangerous features. A committee was formed after the 1905 season to look at changing the rules.The rules were changed for the 1906 season, but there were still some doubts. The head coach at Swarthmore College wrote a series of articles called “How to Play Football.” And it took a few years for the rules to shake out. The most important safety feature we now havehelmets (头盔)were not required until much later.【文章大意】文章介绍了罗斯福总统下令改变美式足球比赛规则，才使得此项运动没有灭亡。24What was Roosevelts attitude towards football?AHe hated it because of his sons injury.BHe liked it though it was violent.CHe thought it a bad sport.DHe wanted to kill it.解析：B细节理解题。根据第四段中“Roosevelt liked football and thought being violent wasnt necessarily a bad thing”可知B项正确。25Roosevelt called the coaches to the White House in December 1905 because of _.Athe coaches wishesBHarold Moores deathCthe publics angry feelingsDthe antifootball movement解析：D细节理解题。根据第五段中“A movement rose up to ban the sport和Roosevelt wanted to reform the game but .

At 3,400 meters it is attractive (有吸引力的) to many people, some of whom, of course, run into trouble. Each year 25 to 50 people have accidents or get lost on Mount Hood and require rescue. Although most of these are understandable accidents, a few result from careless risktaking.In one recent case, three experienced climbers went hiking (远足) in the middle of a snowstorm in December. Most hikers climb Mount Hood in May or June when the weather conditions are favorable. But in December, the mountain is covered in snow and ice. Winds up to 135 kilometers per hour blow the snow around making it difficult to see. Temperatures can drop below freezing. As one rescue worker put it, “What were they thinking? They were just asking for it.”During a rescue a few years ago, a helicopter full of rescue workers crashed (坠毁) and the rescue workers were almost killed. Linda Carle, who lives in the Mount Hood area, asks, “If someone made a poor decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them? Why do people take unnecessary risks and do things that arent right if they know that they can get into trouble？”Most of the Mount Hood rescue workers are either volunteers (志愿者) or part of the local sheriffs department. There is no charge for these rescues. It is the taxpayers (纳税人) who pay the bill. Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and require rescue should be charged for the rescue. She feels it is only fair that costs for things like damaged helicopters and medical care for rescuers be paid for by the people who took the risks. What would you do if you were the local sheriff at Mount Hood?【文章大意】本文是议论文。作者通过本文旨在呼吁那些打算攀登胡德山的人们要选择最佳时间以免出现危险并给救援造成困难。28What can we learn about Mount Hood?AIt lies in the south of the United States.BIt is the highest mountain in the United States.CThe best time to climb the mountain is in May or June.DHundreds of people get lost in the mountain every year.解析：C细节理解题。由第二段中的Most hikers climb Mount Hood in May or June when the weather conditions are favorable可知，每年五、六月份是攀登胡德山的最佳时间，故选C项。29What Linda Carle says in the third paragraph shows a feeling of _.Apeace BprideCloneliness Danger解析：D推理判断题。由第三段中的If someone made a poor decision, why should rescue teams have to risk their lives to save them？等信息可知，Linda Carle对于那些不理智的登山者感到非常气愤，故选D项。30According to Linda Carle, risktakers should _.Apay for all the costs neededBlearn to save themselvesCbe taxed at a higher rateDwork as volunteers解析：A细节理解题。由最后一段中的Linda Carle suggests that people who take careless risks and require rescue should be charged for the rescue等信息可知，那些不理智的登山者应该承担所有救援费用，故选A项。31The authors purpose in writing the text is to _.Aask the government to provide more rescuersBintroduce Mount Hood to mountain climbersCadvise climbers to think twice before they actDreport some serious accidents in Mount Hood解析：C写作目的题。作者通过本文旨在呼吁那些打算攀登胡德山的人们要选择最佳时间以免出现危险并给救援造成困难，故选C项。DWrestling as a sport is practised all around the world. Shirley Crabtree Jr was one of the most famous English wrestlers in the 1980s. What made him famous was his huge 160cm chest. He would knock his belly (肚子) into an enemy and then jump on top of his fallen enemy. All of this would be followed by chants of “Whos the Daddy？” from the crowd.In Turkey, wrestlers wear short leather trousers and cover themselves with olive oil. As part of an ageold tradition, all wrestlers train apprentices. Then, when the master wrestler finally stops wrestling, his apprentice continues the tradition. In Switzerland, the most popular form of wrestling is “Schwingen”， which is also known as “Swiss wrestling” or “Hoselupf” (trouser lifting). It is practised indoors on wooden floors. As part of this sport, fighters wear special canvas (帆布) trousers. In Iceland, wrestlers have to wear a leather harness (皮带) around the middle part of their body and the top parts of their legs. During the fight, wrestlers try to hold the harness and throw their enemies to the ground.No country is quite so “wrestlingmad” as Mexico. There, it is known as “lucha libre”. Mexico has the largest number of professional wrestlers in the world. The style is similar to wrestling in the US, but the big difference is that wrestlers wear masks (面具). In fact, masks are an important part of Mexican wrestling and can be traced back to Aztec traditions. Today, wrestling in Mexico is a serious business and winners are national heroes.Theres no doubt that wrestling is one of the oldest, most widelypractised and popular sports out there. And when it comes to fighting, wrestling is still “the daddy”【文章大意】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了摔跤这项运动在世界各地发展的情况。32According to the text, Shirley Crabtree Jr _.Awas an American wrestlerBbecame famous in the early 20th centuryCwas known for his chest sizeDfinished off his enemies with his head解析：C细节理解题。由第一段中的What made him famous was his huge 160cm chest.
