4、Donald when he moves to town.

10、00）A.1998B.1999C.2000D.2001Passage 2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: Jim Thorpe was a Native American. He was born in 1888 in an Indian Territory（印第安人保护区） that is now Oklahoma. Like most Native American children then, he liked to fish, hunt, swim, and play games outdoors. （77）
11、he was healthy and strong, but he had very little formal education. In 1950, Jim Thorpe was named the greatest American football player. He was also an Olympic gold medal winner. But Thorpe had many tragedies in his life. Jim had a twin brother who died when he was nine years old. By the time he was
12、 16, his mother and father were also dead. Jim then went to a special school in Pennsylvania for Native American children. There, he learned to read and write and also began to play sports. Jim was poor, so he left school for two years to earn some money. During this time, he played on a baseball te
13、am. (78) The team paid him only $ 15 a week. Soon he returned to school to complete his education. Jim was a star athlete(运动员) in several sports, including baseball, running, and football. He won many awards for his athletic ability, mainly for football. In many games, he scored all or most of the p
14、oints for his team. In 1912，when Jim Thorpe was 24 years old, he became part of the U.S. Olympic team. He competed in two very difficult events: the pentathlon and the decathlon. Both require great ability and strength. The pentathlon has five track and field events，including the long jump and the 1
15、,500-meter race. The decathlon has ten track and field events， with running, jumping ,and throwing contests. People thought it was impossible for an athlete to compete in both the pentathlon and the decathlon. So everyone was surprised when Thorpe won gold medals in both events. When the King of Swe
16、den presented Thorpe with his two gold medals, he said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.” Thorpe was a simple and honest man. He just answered, “Thanks, King.” （分数：5.00）(1).From the passage we learn that Jim Thorpe was born in _. （分数：1.00）A.IndiaB.PennsylvaniaC.OklahomaD.Sweden(2).Ac

Al
20、l one has to do is walk by almost any nice gym and notice all the healthy, sweating,“skinny”members. Sometimes they stare at those of us who are, well, zaftig. It is easy to see the judgment behind their eyes. Who wants to put up with that ? Many people are self-conscious of their bodies and feel is
21、olated when joining workout classes or while exercising, especially if they are larger than most of the others in the group. Now the fitness industry is finally paying attention. Popular gyms are catering（迎合）to overweight and weight conscious customers by dedicating areas where the“skinny” people ar
22、e no allowed. There are even gyms or programs that require members to be at least 50 pounds overweight to participate. Trainers recommend functional fitness as a practical goal, rather than six-pack abs（六块腹肌）.(79)They often use text messages to stay in touch with customers. Often at these specialize
23、d gyms, the trainers are overweight themselves, or working on their own weight goals, and this can help those people with anxiety caused by poor body image.
