23、fabricated八、Part Reading Compr(总题数：0，分数：0.00)九、Passage One(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The

24、researcher organized an experimental tournament (杆锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a s

25、tandard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyze the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right,

26、they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum (最佳的) distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meter

27、s per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the b

28、all, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire at age 35 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.（分数：6.00）(1).The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to_.（分数：1.00）A.review t

29、he decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB.analyze the causes of errors made by football refereesC.set a standard for football refereeingD.reexamine the rules for football refereeing(2).The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was_.（分数：1.00）A.slightly above averageB.higher th

30、an in the 1998 World CupC.quite unexpectedD.as high as in a standard match(3).The findings of the experiment show that_.（分数：1.00）A.errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs, the

31、more likely errors will occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot(4).The word “officials“ (Line 3, Par（分数：1.00）A.4) most probably refers to_.A. the researchers involved in the experimentB. the inspectors of the football tournamentC. the referees of the football tournamentD. the

32、observers at the site of the experiment(5).What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?（分数：1.00）A.The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 35.B.Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.C.A football referee should be as young and en

33、ergetic as possible.D.An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.(6).In the last paragraph, the word “misguided“ can be best replaced by_.（分数：1.00）A.wrongB.misunderstoodC.misledD.confused十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)While still in its early stages, welfare reform

34、 has already been judged a great success m many states at least in getting people off welfare. Its estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past

35、two years took jobs that paid less than $ 6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent twice the national average.For advocates (代言人) for the poor, thats an indication much more needs to be done.“More people are getting jobs, but its not making their li

36、ves any better,“ says Kathy Lain, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a greater percentage of single, female headed households were earning money on their own, but that average i

37、ncome for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.“Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin(毒素) that was poisoning the family,“ says Robert Rector, a w

38、elfare reform policy analyst. “The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. Its beginning to rebuild the work ethic (道德观), which is much more important. “Mr. Rector and others argued that once “the habit of dependency is cracked“, then the country can make other policy changes

39、 aimed at improving living standards.（分数：6.00）(1).From the passage, it can be seen that the author_.（分数：1.00）A.believes the reform has reduced the governments burdenB.insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poorC.is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reformD.considers wel

40、fare reform to be fundamentally successful(2).Why arent people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?（分数：1.00）A.Because many families are divorced.B.Because government aid is now rare.C.Because their wages are low.D.Because the cost of living is risin(3).What is worth noting from the example of

41、Athens County is that_.（分数：1.00）A.greater efforts should be made to improve peoples living standardsB.70 percent of the people there have been employed for two yearsC.40 percent of the population no longer rely on welfareD.the living standards of most people are going down(4).From the passage we kno

42、w that welfare reform aims at_.（分数：1.00）A.saving welfare fundsB.rebuilding the work ethicC.providing more jobsD.cutting government expenses(5).According to the passage, before the welfare reform was carried out,_.（分数：1.00）A.the poverty rate was lowerB.average living standards were higherC.the averag

43、e worker was paid higher wagesD.the poor used to rely on government aid(6).The authors attitude towards welfare reform is_.（分数：1.00）A.negativeB.positiveC.neutralD.objective十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：6.00)Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more

44、 than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. Pe

45、ople have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a

46、 nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份) than to step out of uniform?Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deductible (可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian

47、 clothes.Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. W

48、hen people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring

49、 professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（分数：6.00）(1).It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_.（分数：1.00）A.still judge a man by his clothesB.hold the uniform in such high regardC.enjoy having a professional identityD.will respect an elevator operator as much as a general in uniform(2).People are accustomed to think that a man in un
