Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET._Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereein
17、g (裁判) decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which differe
18、nt referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail.
19、Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, 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 2
20、0 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters 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 nex
21、t World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, 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 importan
22、t, their physical condition is less critical.（分数：6.00）(1).The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to_.（分数：2.00）A.review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB.analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC.set a standard for football refereeingD.reexamine the rules fo
23、r football refereeing(2).The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was_.（分数：2.00）A.slightly above averageB.higher than in the 1998 World CupC.quite unexpectedD.as high as in a standard match(3).The findings of the experiment show that_.（分数：2.00）A.errors are more likely when a refer
24、ee keeps close to the ballB.the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC.the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD.errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spotWhile still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great
25、success in 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 two years took jobs that paid l
26、ess 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 lives any better,“ says Kathy L
27、airn, 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 income for these households
28、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 welfare reform policy ana
29、lyst. “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 aimed at improving liv
30、ing standards.（分数：10.00）(1).From the passage, it can be seen that the author_.（分数：2.00）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 welfare reform to be fund
31、amentally successful(2).Why arent people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?（分数：2.00）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 rising.(3).What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is tha
32、t_.（分数：2.00）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 know that welfare refor
33、m aims at_.（分数：2.00）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：2.00）A.the poverty rate was lowerB.average living standards were higherC.the average worker was paid h
34、igher wagesD.the poor used to rely on government aidAmericans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more 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 Sta
35、tes? 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. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire
36、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 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.
37、 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 clothes. Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who mu
38、st wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When 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
39、they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes.（分数：12.00）(1).It is surprising that American
40、s who worship variety and individuality_.（分数：2.00）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 uniform_.（分数：2.00）A.sugg
41、ests quality workB.discards his social identityC.appears to be more practicalD.looks superior to a person in civilian clothes(3).The chief function of a uniform is to_.（分数：2.00）A.provide practical benefits to the wearerB.make the wearer catch the public eyeC.inspire the wearers confidence in himself
42、D.provide the wearer with a professional identity(4).According to the passage, people wearing uniforms_.（分数：2.00）A.are usually helpfulB.have little or no individual freedomC.tend to lose their individualityD.enjoy greater popularity(5).The best title for this passage would be_.（分数：2.00）A.Uniforms an
43、d SocietyB.The Importance of Wearing a UniformC.Practical Benefits of Wearing a UniformD.Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms(6).Despite of the variety and individuality, Americans are fond of uniforms because _.（分数：2.00）A.a man who wears a uniform can be respected by othersB.the uniform looks m
44、ore professional than common clothesC.they want to think, speak, and act similarlyD.they are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothesSince we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condit
45、ion is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties. Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to cope with major life changes and daily ha
46、ssles (困难) People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, reveal that the presence of social support helps people fend off (挡开) illness, and the absence of such support makes poor he
47、alth more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives, and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informat
48、ional support. They help us to define and understand our problems and find solutions to them. Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure-time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distracting (转移注意力) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us instrumental support, fi
