Otherwise, they said, children would compete with 54 and the poorer children would be unhappy because people would see how poor they were. In recent years, however, many schools have 55 the ide
19、a of making children wear uniform but funnily enough, now that children can wear 56 they like, they have adopted a uniform of their own. When some journalists visited a London school, they found that all the boys and girls were dressed in jeans (牛仔裤). One girl said she would rather die than wear a c

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question th
23、ere are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSER SHEET I.Passage OneAs you are students of English, its very possible that youll be interested in England. Thats where the language was first spoken. But England is often called b
24、y other names. This often confuses people and I wonder if you know what these names mean. So, now I would like to tell you about this matter of names. I believe that you have heard people use the namesEngland, Britain or Great Britain. Lets see what each of these names means.If you look at a map of
25、Europe, youll see a group of islandsone larger island off the northwest coast, one smaller and many tiny ones. These make up what is called the British Isles (不列颠群岛 ). The largest island of the British Isles is Britain. It is also called Great Britain. The smaller island is Ireland (爱尔兰).Britain is
26、divided into three parts: Scotland, Wales and England. But sometimes the Word “England” is used instead of “Britain”. Why so?In ancient times, what is Britain now used to be three different countries. People in These different countries spoke different language. Over many years the three countries b
27、ecame one. England is the largest and richest of the three and it has the most people. So the English people take it for granted that their own name stands for the whole island.Theres another thing that confuses people: sometimes you may hear people say “the Untied Kingdom of Great Britain and North
28、ern Ireland”. That is official name of the country. Northern Ireland is only one sixth of the island of Ireland. The rest of the island is an independent state, called the Republic of Ireland. So we have the names of “England”, “Britain”, “Great Britain”, and “the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
29、 Northern Ireland”. Now do you know what each of them means?61. English was first spoken in .A. Britain B. EnglandC. Great Britain D. Ireland62. Britain is divided into .A. England, Britain, and WalesB. England, Scotland, and WalesC. Wales, Scotland, and Great BritainD. Great Britain, Wales, and Sco
30、tland63. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?A. Wales is the richest of the threeB. Scotland is the largest of the threeC. Sometimes English is used instead of BritainD. Britain is the only name of the largest island of British Isles64. The United Kingdom of Great Bri
31、tain and Northern Ireland is .A. part of Britain B. part of British IslesC. the official name of the whole country EnglandD. the largest country of all mentioned in the passage65. Which of the following is an independent country?A. Wales B. ScotlandC. Northern Ireland D. The Republic of IrelandPassa
32、ge TwoEvery year just after Christmas the January Sales start. All the shops reduce their prices and for two weeks, they are full of people looking for bargains. My husband and I do not normally go to the sales as we dont like crowds and in any case are short of money as we have to buy lots of Chris
33、tmas presents.Last year, however, I took my husband with me to the sales at the large shop in the center of London. We both needed some new clothes and were hoping to find a television set. When we got to station. So I left my husband and started looking around the shops. Unfortunately all the cloth
34、es were in very large sizes and so were not suitable for me. But I did buy a television at a very cheap price, so I felt quite pleased with myself.When I arrived at the station, my husband was not there. So I sat down in a nearby cafe to have a cup of tea. I quickly finished my tea when I saw my hus
35、band and went out to meet him. He looked very happy. Then I saw he was carrying a large and heavy cardboard box. “Oh, dear!” I thought. Yes, we had no new clothes but two televisions. We shall not be going to the sales again. 66. In January .A. lots of people go shopping for discountB. people have a
36、 lot of money to spend after ChristmasC. all the shops close for a two-week Christmas holidayD. people dont have enough money to go looking for bargains67. In this passage, the word “bargain” could best be replaced by “something ”.A. given to peopleB. offered at a reduced priceC. offered, sold or bo
37、ught which is expensiveD. sold for the purpose of reaching an agreement68. The husband and wife in the story .A. wished to buy a TVB. went to the sales the year beforeC. often went to the sales to buy clothesD. were usually not short of money after Christmas69. The phrase “split up” in the second pa
38、ragraph means “ ”.A. break apart B. cause to break C. become pieces D. go indifferent directions70. After their days shopping, they .A. were happy with their bargainsB. had got everything they wantedC. got more than they had hoped forD. had to go back to the sales the next dayPassage ThreeSome peopl
39、e argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sport the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual
40、representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation.A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the sum
41、mit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that hell think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was s
42、omehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinian real
43、ly believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really, But its nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.71. What is the authors main purpose in the passage?A. To explain the role of sportB. To compare Scotland with Argenti
