22、go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor，young and old，one can see them all there，shouting and cheering for one side or the other. One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to ha

23、ve. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you，with a great air of authority，who he expects will win such and such a match，and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of m

24、en three or four times his age. Most schools in England take football seriously-much more seriously than nearly all European schools，where lessons are allimportant(至关重要的)，and games are left for private arrangements. In England，it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boys mind

25、 with facts in a classroom；education also means character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games，especially team games，where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team，instead of working selfishly(自私地)for himself alone. The school therefore arranges game

26、s and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game，it is good exercise for the body，it needs skill and a quick brain，it is popular and it is cheap. As a result，it is the schools favorite game in the winter. 3l In England football is a game enjoyed A only by young people. B only by rich peopl

27、e. C only by boys. D by people of all ages and classes. 32 A stranger in England will be surprised to find that in that country A people have little knowledge of football. B girls are more interested in football than boys. C even small boys know a lot about football. D children are not interested in

28、 football at all. 33 There is a great difference between schools in England and those in Europe in that A European schools take football seriously. B European schools often arrange football matches for their pupils. C schools in England care little about lessons. D schools in England believe charact

29、er training to be part of education. 34 According to the passage，which of the following is NOT true of the football game? A It makes people selfish. B It encourages cooperation. C It is good for health. D It is not expensive. 35 What is the authors attitude towards the football game in England? A Cr

30、itical. B Positive. C Negative. D Doubtful. 第二篇The English Weather Other countries have a climate：in England we have weather. This statement，often made by Englishmen to describe the strange weather conditions of their country，is both revealing and true. It is revealing because in it we see the Engli

31、shman insisting once again that what happens in England is not the same as what happens elsewhere. Its truth can be proved by any foreigner who stays in the country for longer than a few days. In no country other than England，it has been said，can one experience four seasons in the course of a single

32、 day! Day may break as a warm spring morning an hour or so later black clouds may have appeared from nowhere and the rain may be pouring down。At midday it may be really winter with the temperature down by about eight degrees or more centigrade(摄氏度). And then，in the late afternoon the sky will clear，

33、the sun will begin to shine，and for an hour or two before darkness falls，it will be summer. In England one can experience almost every kind of weather except the most extreme. (Some foreigners seem to be under the impression that for ten months of the year the country is covered by a dense blanket o

34、f fog；this is not true. )The problem is that we never can be sure when the different types of weather will occur. Not only do we get several different sorts of weather in one day，but we may very well get a spell（持续的一段时间)of winter in summer and a spell of summer in winter. The uncertainty about the w

35、eather has had a definite effect upon the Englishmans character. It tends to make him cautious(小心谨慎的)，for example. The foreigner may laugh when he sees the Englishman setting forth on a brilliantly sunny morning wearing a raincoat and carrying an umbrella，but he may well regret his laughter later in

36、 the day! And，of course，the weathers variety provides a constant topic of conversation. Even the most taciturn(沉默寡言的)of Englishmen is always prepared to discuss the weather. And，though he sometimes complains bitterly of it，he would not，even. if he could，exchange it for the more predictable climate o

37、f other lands. 36 other countries have a climate; in Eng1and we have weather. This statement suggests that A other countries do not have fine weather. B you cannot experience four seasons in a year in England. C the weather in England often changes and is therefore unique. D the weather in England n

38、ever changes. 37 A special feature of the weather in England is that A you can experience four seasons every day throughout the year. B it does not have four seasons as other countries do. C winter there is the coldest in the world. D you may experience different types of weather in a single day. 38

39、 What makes the Englishman cautious，according to the passage? A The foreigners laughter. B The cold weather in winter. C The uncertainty about the weather. D The predictable climate. 39 Which of the following statements is NOT true of the weather in England? A England is covered by heavy fog for ten

40、 months of the year. B It tends to make the Englishman cautious. C One cannot be sure when the different types of weather will occur. D You may have a spell of winter in summer. 40 The word lands in the last sentence could best be replaced by A soil. B earth. C countries. D parts. 第三篇Lifetime Employ

41、ment in Japanese Companies In most large Japanese companies，there is a policy of lifetime employment. What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise，they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire. In effect，the employee gets job security for

42、lire，and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work. Even in times of business recession，he or she is free from the fear of being 1aid off. One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it. By working hard for the company，

43、he believes he is safeguarding his Own future. It is not surprising that devotion to ones company is considered a great virtue in Japan. A man is often prepared to put his firms interests before those of his immediate family. The j ob security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees a

44、pproach their work. They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career. This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time. They can afford to take a longer perspective than their Western counterparts. This marriage between the empl

45、oyee and the company-the consequence of lifetime employment-may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work，for little overtime pay，to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their

46、 products. 41 Lifetime employment in the Japanese company means that the employee A leaves his company only when business is bad. B gets a job soon after he leaves school or university. C can work there throughout his career. D can have his serious mistakes in work corrected. 42 Which of the followi

47、ng statements is INCORRECT? A Family and company interests are equally important B The Japanese worker is very loyal to his company C Ones future is guaranteed through hard work. D Devotion to ones company is encouraged. 43 Lifetime employment influences ones A achievements at work. B performance at

48、 work. C career options. D attitude toward work. 44 The Japanese worker is fond of his companys products because of A his marriage with the daughter of the president. B the close link between him and his company. C his willingness to work overtime. D his active participation in quality control. 45 T

49、he passage mainly discusses A how lifetime employment works in Japan. B what benefits lifetime employment has brought to Japanese workers. C what lifetime employment is. D how lifetime employment is viewed. 第5部分：补全短文(第46-50题，每题2分，共10分) 阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请

A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school. (46). There are about 300，000 home-schoolers in theUnited States today. Some par

51、ents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values；others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home. (47). David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at

52、home. Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in sch001. (48).

Or a spring evening when the family i

53、s out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program. (49). Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools，but critics say that homeschoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. (50). However，most

54、parents dont have the time or the desire to teach their children at home，So schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.

55、at most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.CLearning starts with the childrens interests and questions. DChildren who are educated at home are known as homeschoolers.
