26、 round are being played to decide which countries will send teams to the 2010 World Cup. Soccer is becoming more and more popular on a worldwide scale and these qualifying matchs are causing much excitement. The game is popular at club level as well. Many fans go every week to support their team, wh
27、ether the event is a home or away one, hoping to get a result. They all hope an attacking game, with a lot of goals being scored. Obviously, they do not want to see a boring, defensive match where the players are aimlessly passing the ball to each other. Sadly, not all the action always takes place
28、on the ground. All too frequently, there is action in the stands, too. Football supporters, most of whom declare their loyalty by wearing their teams colours, in the form of shirts, are not known for their team and behaviour. They are often very noisy, shouting noisy encouragement to their team and
29、singing deafening songs. There is much rivalry between supporters. Mostly, this is good-natured, but trouble can easily arise. Fans get angry if they feel that a referee has made a wrong decision, perhaps giving one of their team a red or yellow card unfairly, or perhaps failing to notice a foul (犯规
30、 ) committed by a member of the other team. When trouble breaks out in a football crowd, it can be difficult to control. Stadium officials often seat the opposing fans in separate parts of the ground as a precaution against fighting. However, preventing trouble is more difficulty outside ground. In
31、the worst cases, riot police have to be called in. Unfortunately, there are some fans who enjoy this violent aspect of football . These football hooligans (流氓 ) really enjoy a running battle with the police , and call up other people to throw stones and bottles at them. They regard football not as a
32、 sport, but as an excuse for troublemaking .Inevitablely, their behaviour spoils the reputation of the game . 31 The qualifying rounds are played to_. （ A） attract soccer fans （ B） select the best teams for the next rounds （ C） raise funds for the organizers （ D） decide which players are the best 32
33、 What do the football fans hope to see? （ A） A home game. （ B） A defensive game. （ C） An evenly matched game. （ D） An exciting game. 33 Football supporters declare their loyalty through_. （ A） singing deafening songs （ B） wearing their teams colours and in the form of shirts （ C） shouting noisy enco
34、uragement to their team （ D） all of the above 34 Fans get angry when they think_. （ A） the referee is unfair （ B） their team is losing （ C） their team is not playing well （ D） there is an intentional foul 35 Riot police are called in_. （ A） to separate the oppsing fans inside the ground （ B） as a pr

The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local chara
37、cter, became first a national event and then, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished, international. No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C. The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousan
38、ds of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events uncertain, but events included boys gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events,
39、though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games. On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although
40、 Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling. After an uninterrupted history of almost 1,200 years, the Games were suspended by the Romans in 394 A
41、.D. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1,500 years before anoth
42、er such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896. Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing courtiers pay their own athletes expenses. The Ol
43、ympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the suns rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The w
44、ell-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games. 37 In ancient Greece, the Olympic Games_. （ A） were merely national athletic festivals （ B） were in the nature of a national event with a stro
