    Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing 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 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 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 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 second.
    If FIFA, football’s 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 FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical.
    小题1: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 errors made by football referees
    C．set a standard for football refereeing
    D．reexamine the rules for football refereeing
    小题2:The number of refereeing errors in the experimental matches was ________.
    A．slightly above averageB．higher than in the 1998 World Cup
    C．quite unexpectedD．as high as in a standard match
    小题3: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 likely when a referee stays in one spot
    小题4:The word “officials” (Para. 4) most probably refers to ________.
    A．the researchers involved in the experiment
    B．the inspectors of the football tournament
    C．the referees of the football tournament
    D．the observers at the site of the experiment
    小题5:What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment?
    A．The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45.
    B．Age should not be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee.
    C．A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible.
    D．An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition.

    A recent study, which was published in last week’s Journal of the American Medical Association, offers a picture of how dangerous it is to get a lift from a teenage driver. Indeed, a 16-year-old driver with three or more passengers has three times the possibility of a serious accident, compared with a teenager driving alone.
    The authors also found that the death rates for teenage drivers increased greatly after 10 p.m., and especially after midnight. With passengers in the car, the driver was even more likely to die in a late-night accident.
    Robert Foss, a scientist at the University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center, says the higher death rates for teenage drivers have less to do with “really stupid behavior” than with just a lack of driving experience. “The basic issue is that adults who are responsible for giving out licenses fail to recognize how complex and skilled driving is.” he says.
    Both he and the author of the study believe that the way to mitigate (使缓解) the problem is to have states set up so-called graduated licensing systems, in which getting a license is a process with several stages. A graduated license requires that a teenager first prove himself able to drive in the presence(在场)of an adult, followed by a period of driving with night of passenger restrictions (限制) before graduating to full driving rights.
    Graduated licensing systems have reduced teenage driver crashes, according to recent studies.
    小题1:Which of the following situations is most dangerous according to the passage?
    A．Adults giving a lift to teenagers on the highway after 10 p.m.
    B．Adults driving with three or more teenage passengers late at night.
    C．A teenager driving after midnight with passengers in the car.
    D．A teenager getting a lift from a stranger on the highway at midnight.
    小题2:According to Robert Foss, the high death rate of teenage drivers is mainly due to _______.
    A．their frequent driving at night B．their lack of driving experience
    C．their wrong way of driving D．their driving with passengers
    小题3:According to Paragraph 3, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．Teenagers should spend more time learning to drive.
    B．Driving is a skill too complex for teenagers to learn.
    C．Restrictions should be forced on teenagers demanding to take driving licenses.
    D．The licensing department is partly responsible for teenagers’ driving accidents.
    小题4:A suggested measure to be taken to reduce teenagers’ driving accidents is that ______.
    A．driving in the presence of an adult should be made a rule
    B．they should be forbidden to take on passengers
    C．they should not be allowed to drive after 10 pm
    D．the licensing system should be improved

    The hit movie Notting Hill begins with a famous scene. Hugh Grant bumps (撞) into Julia Roberts and spills (洒) orange juice all over her. After the collision, Grant repeatedly says: “ I am so sorry. I am so sorry.”
    His actions in this scene are very British. If Roberts’ character were from Britain then she would probably apologize repeatedly as well—even if the crash were not her fault. But this doesn’t happen in the film, as Roberts is from the US.
    A report in The Telegraph last week said that three-quarters of British people apologize when they bump into someone in the street — regardless of whether they are responsible or not. In fact, we Britons use “sorry” in many situations. For example, if we mishear someone, we say “Sorry?” The person we are talking to will also apologize by replying: “No, I am sorry!” This can go on for up to five minutes as we compete over who is the most sorry.
    Life is never as simple as “duibuqi” and “meiguanxi”.
    How we use “sorry” has changed. Traditionally, “sorry” was used to express deep regret, but a survey in 2007 showed that we use it to mean anything from “what” to “whatever”.
    Why are Britons so sorry? Mark Tyrell, a psychology writer in the UK, thinks about our apologetic tendencies are rooted in the British class system. We say sorry because historically the new middle classes in Britain had to apologize for not being working class, but also for not really being upper class. Another theory is that we apologize to avoid confrontation(冲突). For example, if you bump into someone they might get angry. To avoid this we instantly say “Sorry!”.
    True manners are about being considerate and the modern day obsession with apologizing show that we are perhaps not as thoughtful as we once were. The word has lost some of its meaning. Do you see my point? Sorry, it might just be a British thing…
    小题1:What can we infer from paragraph 2?
    A．In fact Roberts are responsible for the collision.
    B．People from the US say “sorry” more than British people.
    C．There is no crash happening in the film.
    D．British people say sorry even if it is not their fault.
    小题2:Which of the following might Mark Tyrell agree to?
    A．British people are sincere while saying sorry.
    B．Now more British people say sorry because of the British class system.
    C．British people say sorry to avoid quarrels.
    D．British people apologize for not working hard.
    小题3:What does the author want to tell us with the passage?
    A．British people overuse “sorry” in daily life.
    B．British people now say “sorry” in different situations.
    C．Middle classes in British are to blame for not being working class.
    D．Britons say “sorry” to avoid confrontation.
    小题4:What does the underlined word “collision” in the first paragraph mean?
    A．quarrelB．disagreementC．crashD．fight

    D
    One of the main challenges facing many countries is how to maintain their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.” said Neville Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.
    In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the laws in the last decade. In some, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, but the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often dismissed as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.
    It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity” of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but there has not been a barrier to acquiring prestige and power. Another reason for the failure of many native English speakers to understand the role of state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.
    The need to protect national languages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon—especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new modes of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.
    小题1:Neville Alexander believes that         .
    A．mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries
    B．lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure
    C．globalization has led to the rise of multi-language trends
    D．globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa
    小题2:The underlined word “futile” (in paragraph 2) most probably means “        “.     
    A．uselessB．practicalC．workableD．unnecessary
    小题3:Why do many English-speaking countries not support the language protection efforts described in the passage?
    A．They think language protection laws are ineffective.
    B．They want their language to spread to other countries.
    C．They have a long history of taking words from other languages.
    D．It reduces a language’s ability to acquire international importance.
    小题4:What can we infer from the last paragraph?
    A．English has taken over fields like public communication and education.
    B．Europeans have long realized the need to protect their national languages.
    C．Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language.
    D．Many aspects of national culture are threatened by the spread of English.
    小题5:The main idea of the passage is       .  
    A．Fighting against the rule of English
    B．Globalization and multi-language trends
    C．Protecting local languages and identities
    D．To maintain the purity of language by law

    Is it wrong to use someone else’s wireless (Wi-Fi) connection? Just recently, a man was arrested for doing just that. At that time, he was sitting in the street with a laptop(便携式电脑) and using an unsecured(无安全保护措施) wireless connection to surf the Net. What do you think about this topic? Listen to the following different views on it.
    For a start, if someone is using your Internet service or downloading, this will affect your speed of access or download limit. Also, it’s bad for Internet service providers. They will suffer in the long run because fewer people will pay for an Internet service if they know they can get it for free. And finally, just imagine this: what if the person who is stealing your Internet connection is involved in an illegal activity? I think the police are totally right to arrest these criminals.
    — by Sandra Wilkins
    Basically, if the person who paid for the service still has everything they paid for, what’s the problem? It’s just like using the light from streetlamps to read your book, or watching someone else’s firework display. It’s not stealing.
    Also, if you leave your wireless connection unsecured, then it is your own fault(过错) if someone else uses it. Just as you wouldn’t leave your front door unlocked, or your car door open, neither should you leave your wireless connection open. By leaving your wireless connection open, you are inviting people to use it. Securing your wireless connection is as easy as clicking a few settings on your router(路由器). And finally, haven’t the police got more important crimes to solve? They’re always saying how they haven’t got the manpower to solve real issues. But this is just ridiculous(荒谬的).
    — by James Hoarley
    小题1: Why was the man mentioned in the first paragraph arrested?
    A．For stealing someone’s laptop.
    B．For surfing the Net in the street.
    C．For destroying others’ wireless connection.
    D．For using an Internet service without permission.
    小题2: What does Sandra Wilkins think of people using others’ Internet service?
    A．He thinks it is unacceptable.
    B．He thinks it is necessary sometimes.
    C．He thinks it requires good computer skills.
    D．He thinks it is good for Internet service providers.
    小题3: In James Hoarley’s opinion, ______.
    A．Internet service should be improved.
    B．it is hard to secure one’s wireless connection.
    C．using others’ Internet service is not stealing at all.
    D．people should leave their wireless connection open.
    小题4: What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Wireless connectionB．Wireless worries
    C．Internet serviceD．Internet users

    There is no doubt that watching television and movies can influence the way that people behave. Moreover, it seems that people are spending more and more time watching some sort of visual entertainment, whether it is television, a video tape or a DVD. Therefore, the effects of the visual media cannot be ignored.
    One obvious effect of these media is that watching them induces(诱导)people to buy certain products. Television advertising is widespread and, nowadays, even movie theaters permit advertisements. Another way TV and the movies affect people is that they give people either a broader view of the world or a distorted(扭曲的)one, depending on what type of program they watch. Those who watch news and educational programs can learn many new things while those who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world have great wealth and good looks. It may make them become dissatisfied with their own lives. Finally perhaps the most susceptible(易受影响的)viewers are children, who may be unable to tell fact from fiction and may try to copy acts that they see on TV or in the movies.
    With the ever-increasing popularity of video entertainment, society must pay attention to these effects. Television and movies, while entertaining and informative, cannot take the place of real experiences.
    小题1:From the passage, we know that watching television and movies can             .
    A．make people live betterB．make people feel pleased
    C．make people change their way of life D．make people live worse
    小题2:The writer holds the view that            .
    A．people may take no notice of the effects of the visual media
    B．people must pay attention to the effects of the visual media
    C．the effects of the visual media make the world changed greatly
    D．the visual media only affect young people
    小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．Those who watch news and educational programs can earn a lot of money and become very pretty.
    B．The reason why most people possess great wealth and good looks is that they often watch television advertising.
    C．People buy products only when they are induced by television advertising.
    D．People who watch primarily entertainment shows may come to believe that most people in the world are rich and beautiful.
    小题4:What would be the best title for this text?
    A．The Influence of Television and Movies
    B．The Reason Why People Watch Television and Movies
    C．Television and Movies Induce People
    D．The Importance of Television and Movies

    Americans are thinking about national education standards recently developed by teachers and other education experts. The National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) led the effort.
    　　The United States, unlike other nations, has never had the same school standards across the country. What is the reason? Education is not discussed in the Constitution. That document limits the responsibilities of the federal government. Other responsibilities, like education, fall to each state.
    Local control of education probably was a good idea two hundred years ago. People stayed in the same place and schools knew what students needed to learn. But today, people move to different cities. And some people work at jobs that did not exist even twenty years ago.
    Many American educators say that getting a good education should not depend on where you live. They say that some states have lowered their standards in order to increase student scores on tests required by the No Child Left behind Act.
    　　Kara Schlosser is communications director for the CCSSO. She says the new standards clearly state what a student should be able to do to be successful in college and work.
    　　Forty--eight states have already shown approval for the standards. Two states refuse to accept the idea. Critics say that working toward the same standards in every state will not guarantee excellence for all. Some educators in Massachusetts say adopting the national standards will hurt their students because the state standards are even higher. Others say the change will be too costly, requiring new textbooks and different kinds of training for teachers. Still others fear federal control.
    　　Supporters say the standards are goals and do not tell states or teachers how to teach. They also say the federal government is not forcing acceptance. However, approving the standards will help states qualify (取得资格) for some federal grant money.
    小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
    A．Local Control of Education Standards out of Date
    B．American National Education Standards under Consideration
    C．Education Standards in Each State--Good or Bad.
    D．Acceptance of the New Standards in the United States
    小题2:Why is local control of education no 1onger a good idea today?
    A．Because local standards are limited.
    B．Because it is required by the federal government.
    C．Because people today moves among states more often than before.
    D．Because America has never had the same school standards throughout the country.
    小题3:Some people are against the nationa1 education standards because__________
    A．the standards are higher than those of each state
    B．they are not yet prepared for the new standards
    C．the standards may prevent some students gaining excellence
    D．they don't want the federal government to train their teachers
    小题4:If a state agrees to accept the national standards, it will probably get ________.
    A．more studentsB．advice on how to improve teaching
    C．better textbooksD．money from the federal government
