Generally forbidden by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with bare fists, and matches often lasted forty or fifty
25、 rounds. In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare fisted battle marked by hitting, scratching, and biting without any rule. Five years later, while fighting Patsy Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke his right arm in the t
26、hird round, but he continued fighting to the sixth round and won. In1889, Sullivan defeated Jade Kilrain with his bare fists in another championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize medal. His admirers talked then of running him for the next governor, but he traveled to Aus
27、tralia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round match with a young Californian named James J. Corbett. “Gentleman James“ victory in this match marked a turning point; for it showed scientific boxing was over strength. But Corbetts title ended in 1897, when
28、another boxer, Bob Fitzsimmons, in less than three seconds, achieved his feats and then Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch“. 54 Boxing matches in the early days were_. （ A） short and bloody （ B） usually sp
29、are-time competitions （ C） governed by strict rules （ D） cruel 55 Sullivan held the worlds heavyweight title for_. （ A） twenty-one years （ B） only a year （ C） five years （ D） at least seven years 56 Sullivans fight with Kilrain was_. （ A） the first boxing championship match （ B） the last boxing matc
30、h to be fought bare-fisted （ C） a bare-fisted championship fight （ D） a six-round match 56 Will it matter if you don t take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tests included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experiment, these people were given all
31、 kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no
32、breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class. Contrary to what many people believe, if you dont eat breakfast, you will no
33、t lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals. 57 The results of the test show that_. （ A） breakfast has great effect on work and studies
34、（ B） breakfast has much to do with peoples health （ C） a person will work better if he has simple breakfast （ D） breakfast only affects those who work with their brains 58 The passage mentions that many people believe that if you dont eat breakfast, you will_. （ A） not lose weight （ B） be healthier
35、（ C） gain weight （ D） lose weight 59 We can infer from the passage that （ A） one can work better without breakfast （ B） morning diet will do good to your health （ C） reducing lunch and supper will help lose weight （ D） breakfast is more important than lunch and supper 60 What is the best title for t
36、his passage? （ A） A Good Breakfast （ B） Why Eating Breakfast （ C） No Eating, No Gaining （ D） What is Breakfast 60 People who travel a lot fly with Bel Air, because they know they will get what they want. They want to go quickly, and safely, across the country, across the sea, or right across the wor
37、ld - and they know Bel Air will take them where they want to go, when they want to go. Bel air flies all the newest, and fastest aeroplanes, to more towns and cities, in more countries of the world, than any other airline. Do you want to go to Paris, Washington, Tokyo? Bel Air will take you there, a
38、t all times of the day or night, right through the week. But Bel Air flies not only to the big cities, we fly two or three times a week to towns and cities in the very heart of Asia, Africa and South America. People who travel a lot fly with Bel Air, because they know they will leave on time, and ar
39、rive on time. They know that the food they will receive, and the films they will watch, will be of the very best.

43、or a small company in Liverpool, where most young people of his age are looking for jobs. Brendans biggest headache is how to use his money. Though he has high payment, he cannot drive a car, or get credit cards (信用卡 ). Brendan got his job four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-leve
44、ls (普通考试科目 ) and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the company knew I had already written some programs.“ he said. “I suppose 55,000 pounds sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.“ He spends some of his money on records and clot
45、hes, and gives his mother 20 pounds a week as he lives with his parents. But most of his spare time is spent working. “Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,“ he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. ! knew what I wanted to
46、 do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休 ) is a possibility.
