18、ANSWER SHEET. 20 Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing (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 )
19、involving four youth teams.Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different 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
20、 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail.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
21、 average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters.The research shows the optimum (最佳的 ) distance is about 20 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
22、 second. If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next 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 insisten
23、ce that referees should retire at age 35 may be misguided.If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. 21 The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant to_. （ A） review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World Cup （ B） analyse the causes of
24、errors made by football referees （ C） set a standard for football refereeing （ D） reexamine the rules for football refereeing 22 The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was_. （ A） slightly above average （ B） higher than in the 1998 World Cup （ C） quite unexpected （ D） as high as
25、in a standard match 23 The findings of the experiment show that_. （ A） errors are more likely when a referee keeps close to the ball （ B） the farther the referee is from the incident,the fewer the errors （ C） the more slowly the referee runs,the more likely errors will occur （ D） errors are less lik
26、ely when a referee stays in one spot 23 While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great 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
27、 Athens County have been cut in half.But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less 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 indicatio
28、n much more needs to be done. “More people are getting jobs, but its not making their lives any better,“ says Kathy Lairn,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 percentag
29、e of single, female headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households 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. “Welfa
30、re was a poison.It was a toxin (毒素 ) that was poisoning the family,“ says Robert Rector, a welfare reform policy analyst.“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
31、 once “the habit of dependency is cracked“, then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards. 24 From the passage,it can be seen that the author_. （ A） believes the reform has reduced the governments burden （ B） insists that welfare reform is doing little good for t
32、he poor （ C） is overenthusiastic about the success of welfare reform （ D） considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful 25 Why arent people enjoying better lives when they have jobs? （ A） Because many families are divorced. （ B） Because government aid is now rare. （ C） Because their wages
33、are low. （ D） Because the cost of living is rising. 26 What is worth noting from the example of Athens County is that_. （ A） greater efforts should be made to improve peoples living standards （ B） 70 percent of the people there have been employed for two years （ C） 40 percent of the population no lo
34、nger rely on welfare （ D） the living standards of most people are going down 27 From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at_. （ A） saving welfare funds （ B） rebuilding the work ethic （ C） providing more jobs （ D） cutting government expenses 28 According to the passage,before the welfare ref
35、orm was carried out,_. （ A） the poverty rate was lower （ B） average living standards were higher （ C） the average worker was paid higher wages （ D） the poor used to rely on government aid 28 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a unif
36、orm, 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 States? 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 be
37、come conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform.The television repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire 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 polic
38、eman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity (身份 ) than to step out of uniform? Uniforms also have many practical benefits.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
39、 among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experienced by people who must 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 al
40、ike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly,on the job at least.Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems.Though 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 cle
41、aning rather than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 29 It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and individuality_. （ A） still judge a man by his clothes （ B） hold the uniform in such high regard （ C） enjoy having a professional identity （ D） will respect a
42、n elevator operator as much as a general in uniform 30 People are accustomed to think that a man in uniform_. （ A） suggests quality work （ B） discards his social identity （ C） appears to be more practical （ D） looks superior to a person in civilian clothes 31 The chief function of a uniform is to_.
43、（ A） provide practical benefits to the wearer （ B） make the wearer catch the public eye （ C） inspire the wearers confidence in himself （ D） provide the wearer with a professional identity 32 According to the passage,people wearing uniforms_. （ A） are usually helpful （ B） have little or no individual
44、 freedom （ C） tend to lose their individuality （ D） enjoy greater popularity 33 The best title for this passage would be_. （ A） Uniforms and Society （ B） The Importance of Wearing a Uniform （ C） Practical Benefits of Wearing a Uniform （ D） Advantages and Disadvantages of Uniforms 34 Despite of the v
45、ariety and individuality, Americans are fond of uniforms because （ A） a man who wears a uniform can be respected by others （ B） the uniform looks more professional than common clothes （ C） they want to think, speak, and act similarly （ D） they are often more comfortable and more durable than civilia
46、n clothes 34 Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships.One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances.Social support consists of the exchange of reso
47、urces 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 hassles (困难 ).People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties.Studies over a range of illnesses, f
48、rom 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 health more likely. Social support cushions stress in a number of ways.First, friends, relatives, and coworkers may let us know that they value
49、us.Our self-respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties.Second, other people often provide us with informational 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 timedistracting (转移 注意力 ) us from our worries and
