17、everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite childrens game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held together by vines. Later they were made of pie
18、ce of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules, perhaps they played ball more for instruction than for fun. Ball playin

The Beginning of Sports（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brough
22、t up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before the World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory
23、 of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal-clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and, above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scie
24、ntist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm bas led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that burning these observations to
25、gether in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the fiddle (迷), because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of

30、ed（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.In the water around New York City there is a very small island called Liberty Island. On Liberty Island there is a special statue called the Statue of Liberty.

It was opened for the public on October 28, 1886.As you might expect, the statue is very big. Visitors can ride an eleva
33、tor from the ground to the bottom of the statue. If they want to, they can then walk up the 168 steps to reach the head of the statue where they can look out and enjoy the beautiful sight of the city of New York.（分数：12.00）(1).A good title for this selection is _.A.

At an earlier period, our desire for material w
36、ealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that society is approaching certain l
37、imits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and th9 quality of life will decr
38、ease.People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality of life in the world. Further
39、more, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroudings from industrialization.This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who argue against economic growt
40、h are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.（分数：12.00）(1).According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow down for the follow
41、ing reasons EXCEPT that _.A. our natural surroundings are in danger of being destroyed by industryB. the fixed supply of natural resources marks a point beyond which economic growth cannot continueC. the world population is ever increasingD. more efforts should be made to improve the quality of our
