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)

The passage is mainly concerned with ________

[  ]

A.

the different tastes of people for sports

B.

the superiority of football

C.

it is only to the taste of the old

[  ]

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

读写任务

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

  In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life.In another way, failure may be a way towards success.The “spider story'' often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English.He watched a spider spinning a web.The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock.He tried six times without success.On the seventh time he made it and went to spin his web.Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English.Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.Abraham Lincoln, the famous American president, lost elections more times than he won them! He never gave up in the face of failure but kept trying and was eventually elected to Congress and then the presidency.

  So what? First, always think about your failure.What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

  Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be.Think about this question.“If I do succeed this time, where will it get me?'' This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.

  The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it's part of life.Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.Remember, “You can't win them all.”

  Tens of thousands of couples across the United States are racing to get married by April 30.This is the result of a new law that makes illegal(不合法的)immigrants(移民) legal(合法的)if they marry by then.

  The law has sent marriages rising by 50 percent to 300 percent this year in immigrant-rich Los Angeles, Houston and New York.The new law, passed in the last days of the Clinton administration(任期),contains a large number of measures to help immigrants and their loved ones become legal.

  Critics(批评家)say it also brings many marriage frauds(诈骗).A key aspect allows immigrants to look for houses while remaining in the USA-if they are married to a citizen or legal resident and hand in applications by April 30.After the date, applicants will have to return to their native countries to deal with their paperwork-a requirement that could take as long as 10 years.

  Demand for marriage licenses in Manhattan this year jumped from 100 a day to more than 300.The Los Angeles County registrar(户籍员)recorder's office supplied 12 997 marriage licences during January and February, and 59 percent increase over last year.

  Critics say the new law encourages false marriage.There are a lot of frauds as people rush to make use of this window.In the past cases citizens or legal residents were paid US $10 000 or more to marry illegal immigrants in which immigration is concluded may be investigated for as long as the years after the vows.

  “It's not worth the risk to attempt an illegal marriage, ”says INS spokesman Bill Strassberger.
