When I was in my third year at university, my roommates were American footballers, so I decided to join them. I remember seeing them in front of me wearing pads (防护垫), and thinking they were going to kill me. I got tackled (阻截) so hard that I was frightened. But then I realized it was just physical contact. I’ve been addicted since. The fundamental aim of the game is to score by running with the ball into, or receiving the ball inside the opposition’s end zone. Every player on the field has a set responsibility. I’m a running back. My job is using my speed, strength and skill to carry the ball and keep running until either I score or I get put down. And it does hurt. I’ve broken two fingers and hurt my shoulder, but the worst was when I trapped the ligaments (韧带) in the back of my leg. I had to take a year out. But none of that put me off- all I could think was how I was going to come back stronger. Besides training with the team, I now have my gym routine to get fitter, faster and stronger. Although people think American football is aggressive, there’s much more to it. Every team has its own playbook, outlining everyone’s role in different scenes. My playbook was 73 pages long. Words can’t describe how it feels when it all comes together on the field. American football has changed my life for the better. I’ve learned time management, how to take responsibility for my action, and how much I treasure being part of a team. Within the four lines of the field, it is physical. Emotions run high. If you’re on the opposing team, you are my enemy. But once the game is done, we’re like a big family. 【小题1】The author’s body parts were hurt EXCEPT . A. his arm B. his shoulder C. his leg D. his finger 【小题2】What can we infer (推断) from the text? A. The author was very delighted when first playing. B. The author has benefited more than suffering from the sport. C. The author began to play at the beginning of his university life. D. Playing American football is very popular among university students. 【小题3】How does the author find his playing American football? A. Relaxing. B. Challenging. C. Boring. D. Rewarding. 【小题4】The passage is manly about . A. the rules of playing American football B. how painful it is to play the sport C. how the sport has changed the author’s life D. the reason for the author's playing American football |

Music for Humans and Humpback Whales (座头鲸) As researchers conclude in Science, the love of music is not only a universal feature of the human species but is also deeply fixed in complex structures of the human brain and is far more ancient than previously suspected. In the articles, researchers present various evidence to show that music-making is at once an original human “business”, and an art form with skillful performers throughout the animal kingdom. The new reports stress that humans hold no copyright on sound wisdom, and that a number of nonhuman animals produce what can rightly be called music, rather than random sound. Recent in-depth analyses of the songs sung by humpback whales show that, even when their organ would allow them to do otherwise, the animals converge on the same choices related to sounds and beauty, and accept the same laws of song composition as those preferred by human musicians, and human ears, everywhere. For example, male humpback whales, who spend six months of each year doing little else but singing, use rhythms (节奏) similar to those found in human music and musical phrases of similar length?a few seconds. Whales are able to make sounds over a range of at least seven octaves (八度音阶), yet they tend to move on through a song in beautiful musical intervals (间隔), rather than moving forwards madly. They mix the sounds like drums and pure tones in a ratio (比例) which agrees with that heard in much western music. They also use a favorite technique of human singers, the so-called A-B-A form, in which a theme is stated, then developed, and then returned to in slightly revised form. Perhaps most impressive, humpback songs contain tunes that rhyme. “This suggests that whales use rhyme, the same way we do: as a technique in poem to help them remember complex materials,” the researchers write. 【小题1】The underlined words “converge on” in Paragraph 3 probably means . A. tend towards B. refer to C. turn into D. put forward 【小题2】Which of the following shows the advanced musical ability in humpback whales? A. They can remember complex materials. B. They can create pleasing patterns of music. C. They can make sounds like drums continuously. D. They can sing along with rhythms of western music. 【小题3】What is the main idea of the article? A. Animals are able to compose and enjoy music like humans. B. Human beings borrow ideas in music from humpback whales. C. Humpback whales are skillful performers in the animal kingdom. D. Music-making is an ancient activity of both humans and animals. 【小题4】The main purpose of the passage is to . A. argue and discuss B. inform and explain C. compare and advertise D. examine and assess |

Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that’s right for you. △Focus on positives Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren’t doing well.【小题2】, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do. △ 【小题3】 If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don’ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. 【小题4】 As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends. △You are a special person not a clone Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. 【小题5】.
