阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer.Not all Canadians love hockey.A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who frown when somebody mentions baseball.Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens.They tell you it's a game better suited to the 19 th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly.These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that values “the hit”.

  By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still.

  On TV the game is divided into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups.The geometry(几何学) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it.You will view the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game.It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement.The TV won't do it for you.

  Take, for example, the third baseman.You sit behind the third base and you watch him watching home plate.His legs are apart, knees flexed(弯曲).His arms hang loose.He does a lot of this.The skeptic(怀疑论者) still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive.But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws:the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman's position.Suppose the pitch is a ball.“Nothing happened,” you say.“I could have had my eyes closed.”

  The skeptic and the innocent must play the game.And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is.Watch the third baseman.Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of ball on wood.If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking(连锁) of notes, chorus(和声) and responses.

(1)

[  ]

A.

the different tastes of people for sports

B.

C.

(2)

[  ]

A.

it is only to the taste of the old

B.

it is not exciting enough

C.

it involves fewer players than football

(3)

[  ]

A.

baseball is too peaceful for the young

B.

football is more attracting than baseball

C.

baseball is more interesting than football

D.

baseball may seem boring when watched on TV

(4)

By stating “I could have had my eyes closed.” the author means (4 th paragraph last sentence) ________

[  ]

A.

Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the result

B.

The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well

C.

The consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it

D.

The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game

All young people dream of travelling the world. They are restless and very eager to see new sights. However, they have little idea how they would really do it if given the chance. Because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there.?

Already hundreds of thousands of Chinese student tourists are visiting these places-Wuyi, Lhasa, Lijiang, Dali, Vientiane and Phnom Penh. Indeed, these students will soon be the most travelled generation in China’s long history. The World Tourist Organization predicts that a quarter of a century from now the number of Chinese tourists going abroad will be twenty times what it is today. The largest percentage of these tourists will visit Southeast Asia. Not all Chinese who travel abroad will be tourists, however. More and more youths are deciding to volunteer their skills in this region; much like their peers in th-e Peace Corps and VSO.?

Critical thinking skills required include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun. The focus is on how to read an atlas (地图集) to make travel plans and how to find ways of travelling. An atlas offers a wealth of information about geography and is one way to increase students’ awareness of their global environment. Use of an atlas especially addresses the needs of students with different visual and spatial (空间的) learning styles.
