阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D），选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

"Tear'em apart ! ""Kill the fool! Murder the referee（裁判）！”

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events．At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough．But let's not kid ourselves．They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed． Volumes have been written about the way words affect us．It has been shown that words having certain connotation(涵义)may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior．I see the term “opponent” as one of those words．Perhaps the time has come to delete（删除） it from sports terrors．

The dictionary meaning of the term "opponent" is "enemy"; "one who opposes your interests．" Thus, when a player meets an opponent, he or she may tend to treat that opponent as an enemy．At such times, winning may be the most important, and every action, no matter how rude, may be considered acceptable．I remember an incident in a handball game when a referee refused a player's request for a time out for a glove change because he did not consider them wet enough．The player started to rub his gloves across his wet T-shirt and then shouted, "Are they wet enough now?"

In the heat of battle players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences(后果) that such a move might have on anyone in their way．I have also seen a player reacting to his opponent's intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately(故意地) hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the play．Off the court, they are good friends．Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which goes against normal behavior．

Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated(提升)the game to the level where it belongs, thereby setting an example to the rest of the sporting worlD． Replacing the term "opponent" with "associate" could be an ideal way to start．

The dictionary meaning of the term "associate" is" colleague", "friend", "companion"．Think about it! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term "associate" rather than "opponent"．

1.Which of the following statements best expresses the author's view?

A． Aggressive behavior in sports can have serious consequences．

B． The words people use can influence their behavior．

C． Unpleasant words in Sports are often used by foreign athletes．

D． Unfair judgments by referees will lead to violence on the sports field．

2.Harsh words are spoken during games because the players _______．

A． are too eager to win

B． are usually short-tempered and easily offended

C． cannot afford to be polite in fierce competition

D． treat their rivals(对手) as enemies

3.What did the handball player do when he was not allowed a time out to change his gloves?

A． He refused to continue the game．

B． He angrily hit the referee with a ball．

C． He claimed that the referee was unfair．

D． He wet his gloves by rubbing them across his T-shirt．

4.The author hopes to have the current situation in sports improved by _______．

A． calling on players to use clean language on the court

B． raising the referee's sense of responsibility

C． changing the attitude of players on the sports field

D． regulating the relationship between players and referees

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。House Sitting

In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．

In Australia, many people travel．After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country． 1.

So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．House sitters might have to care for pets．Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning．2. I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．

3.There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home．

There are some requirements to be a house sitter．You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything．You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time．4.You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have．

Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday．Sometimes it is for much longer．We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe．

5. Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there．One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed． A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well．You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job．

A． I have done house sitting many times．

B． Thousands of people do this all the time．

C． It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries．

D． Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job．

E． You must take a little care over what your description says about you．

As we know，many teen celebrities(名人) feel and think that having a slimmer figure can do great good to them．But，does size really matter？Are teenage fans trying hard to become like their celebrity idols(偶像)？Do celebrities really have the power to influence people，especially teenagers？

For the longest time，many parents blame teen idols for influencing the way their kids act．Have you noticed how teens idolize the celebrities these days？Even，their personal affairs are being followed by kids these days．Take for example the case of Lindsay Lohan of Mary Kate Ashley．They are definitely famous teen stars．But，since they are trying to project an image to satisfy a lot of people in show business，their health and body suffer．Many kids are aware of this problem．But they are easily influenced by these celebrities to exercise and eat less．

It is a fact that the media，and especially famous teen celebrities，can influence people powerfully．But teenagers are easily influenced because teenage years are the period when our personality and identity developments take place．Teens watching TV shows and reading magazines are easily pulled into the dieting and harmful eating habits because the media have some ways to pull these acts．They use thin models and celebrities to endorse(做广告宣传) products or to star in an up-and –coming shows or movies．With fierce competition，celebrities are forced to eat less and do extreme exercise routines to get the roles or offers that come their way．

Living in today’s time and generation is a bit disturbing to a lot of parents．Media，especially as well as the celebrities，have a very powerful influence to drive teenagers to good or bad． It’s good that we can control ourselves to avoid bad things from happening．If not，parents should really be aware and guide their teens to determine what’s in ad what’s out．

More than one-third of adults in the United States are obese(肥胖)．In fact，over obesity has reached such proportions that one big-city mayor has gone about banning large-sized，sugary soft drinks and the First Lady has been on a campaign to control the dietary offerings in public schools．

Even many adults who do not fit the clinic definition of obesity are still overweight，and a large percentage are looking for the best ways to lose weight．

Reducing pounds largely comes down to the two-sided factors of diet and exercise．Not carrying out the first one enough，and not getting enough of the second one，ends up giving the individual a recipe for being overweight．

Advising someone to eat less and exercise more might be the easiest advice possible，but it’s also，partially，an oversimplification．Dieting has more to do with the types of food you eat than how much you eat．Reduce the amount of red meat in your diet．If you don’t want to eliminate red meat altogether，choose cuts of meat with less fat content．Limit your intake of salt and starches．If you’ve got to have potato chips alongside your sandwich at lunch，choose the baked potato chips that contain less fat than the deep-fried chips．You might find you’re really not sacrificing that much in terms of taste．

A diet rich in fruits，vegetables，egg whites，fish and nonfat dairy products will certainly aid in the mission of losing weight．Drink more water and less sugary drinks．If you have to have a soda，a diet soda is a better option，but seltzer is an even better choice than that．

It’s important—if not always easy—to make sure you get at least some physical activity each and every day．If your feet won’t allow for a regular jogging regimen，then make sure you take lots of walks．Next time you need to mail a letter，walk to the mailbox instead of driving．Try to work in a daily walk in your neighborhood．

1.You should________when you want to lose weight

A． try not to fit the clinic definition of obesity

B． diet as well as exercise enough

C． get little exercise every day

D． focus your attention on diet only

2.The First Lady has started a movement to________．

A． raise people’s awareness of healthy diet

B． control the public school dietary supplying

C． ban the sugary soft drinks

3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph？

A． We must keep far away from fat and ignore our taste．

B． The simplest and best way to lose weight is to eat and exercise more．

C． We should remove the red meat in our diet completely to reduce weight．

D． When it comes to diet，no one needs to starve themselves in order to lose weight．

A． walk B． diet
