18、ented was the ball.In ancient Egypt, as 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 togeth
19、er by vines. Later they were made of piece 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 f
20、or instruction than for fun.

The Beginning of Sports（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Years ago our cities were full of cars, buses and trucks. Now the str
23、eets are completely congested (拥挤的) and it is very difficult to drive a car along them. Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights. What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years? Will enormous (巨大的) motorways be built across them? With big motorways cutting across them, full of no
24、isy, dirty cars and lorries, our cities are going to be awful places. How can we solve the problem?There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars. In 1989, for example, the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment: passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their ti
25、ckets.In Stockholm there was another experiment: people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus, trolley bus, train or tram in all the city.In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles, and pedestrians are safe there.In London there is another experiment: part of the stre

29、ve all of the stereotypes (模式化的形象) you may have heard about Americans. Even the ones that are true in general may not be true about specific individuals or a large part of the population. For example, although Americans tend to be louder than people from other cultures(especially at athletic events)
30、, many of the people you meet will be quiet and polite. Some people may be intolerant, but most will be pleasant and welcoming. Remember that American films and television exaggerate(夸张)in order to generate excitement, and so present a rather false picture of what life in the United States is really
31、 like. Therefore, tourists in the US are not always on their best behavior.Americans do tend to be more informal than people from other countries. It is common for Americans to wear casual clothing to school and to greet professors by first name. However, good manners and politeness are always appre
32、ciated. If you are polite, and dress a little more formally than your American friends, it will not be poorly thought of.However, some businesses require their employees to wear a uniform or a suit. It would be improper to wear a T-shirt and blue jeans to a job interview. Some of the more prestigiou
33、s restaurants require a coat and tie. Americans tend to dress up for cultural events(the opera, theater and ballet)and to dress down for athletic events. Formal wear is required at weddings and funerals, or any other event with religious event. If you rely on the stereotypes, you will likely put you

You should not believe the stereotypes you may have heard about AmericansC. None of the stereotypes you may have heard about American

None of the stereotypes you may have heard about Americans should not be believed（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The passage is probably written for_A. businessmen B. visitors to AmericaC. American students D. American film-makers（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The second paragraph suggests that _A
36、. most Americans are politeB. people who are polite are welcomeC. casual clothing makes others uncomfortableD. American students are impolite to their teachers（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).We can learn from the passage that_A. American films are mostly poor comediesB. it is good manners to wear blue jeans to
37、 a weddingC. Americans usually wear formal clothes in a theaterD. to dress formally makes others feel you are not easy to get on with（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.Mr. Smith gave his wife ten pound for her birthday ten pretty pound notes. So the day after her birthday, Mrs Smith went shopping. She queued for a bu
38、s, got on and sat down next to an old lady. After a while, she noticed that the old ladys handbag was open. Inside it she saw a wad of pound notes exactly like the one her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag the notes were gone! Mrs Smith was sure that the old lady who was
39、sitting next to her had stolen them. She thought she would have to call the police; but, as she disliked making a fuss and getting people into trouble, she decide to take back the money from the old ladys handbag and say nothing more about it. She looked round the bus to make sure nobody was watchin
40、g, then she carefully put her hand into the old ladys bag, took the notes and put them in her own bag.When she got home that evening, she showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.“With the money you gave me for my birthday, of course.“ She said proudly.“Oh?

43、s too angry to do soD. she didnt like to make trouble for others（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.In order to learn a foreign language well, it is necessary to overcome the fear of making mistakes. If the primary goal of language use is communication, then mistakes are secondary considerations that may be dealt with
44、 gradually as awareness of those mistakes increases. On the other hand, students should not ignore their mistakes. The language learner may observe how native speakers express themselves, and how native expressions differ from the way the learner might say them. For example, a Spanish speaker who ha
45、s been saying “I do it“ to express willingness to do something in the immediate future, could, by interacting with native speakers of English, observe that native speakers actually say “Ill do it“. The resulting difference can serve as a basis for the student to modify his way of using the present t
46、ense in English. But a student who is unwilling to interact in the first place would lose this opportunity to learn by trial and error.（分数：12.00）(1).According to the passage, the present tense in English is _.A. not used to express a desire to do something in the immediate futureB. used with some ve
47、rbs but not with others to express future intentionC. basically the same in English as it is in SpanishD. not the most difficult problem for foreign students（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).According to the passage, language learners can reduce the number of their mistakes by _.A. asking native speakers for exp
48、lanationsB. reading good books in the foreign languageC. comparing their speech with that of native speakersD. speaking without regard to native speakers（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).According to the passage, foreign language students who do not interact with native speakers will NOT _.A. learn very much abo
49、ut the foreign cultureB. learn about the history of the foreign languageC. have to worry about making mistakesD. take advantage of available language models（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).According to the passage, foreign language students should not worry too much about making mistakes because _.A. native speakers like foreign students who try to learn their languageB. communication is the primar
