Women find a way to win 1 not uncommon to hear Chinese praising the play of their women on the
volleyball court and 2 the play of the men. The topic is often laughed off as a joke, but 3 a reason
for the perceived (感觉到) 4 of women"s athletics in China.
At the 2000 Sydeny Games, China"s women won 5 gold medals than the men. In Athens in 2004,
the women won 19 gold medals, while the men won 12. 6 , American women accounted for 12 of the
country"s 35 gold medals in 2004.
This summer, again the women are widely 7 to help with China"s medal tally(记录).wrestling coach
Zhang Zhetian is counting 8 the women"s team for a wrestling medal. "Guys-you"ve got to push them
more." He told the Wall Street Journal.
Tennis coach Sun Jinfang shares this view: "Women know 9 eat bitterness," she said. Sun has
helped to put four double players into the Women"s Tennis Association top 30. no male Chinese tennis
players are ranked.
Some experts believe they"ve 10 a reason for the disparity(不同). China has long respected strong
women, 11 the folk hero Hua Mulan and the much-beloved former Vice-premier Wu Yi. This ideology(意识形态), they think, creates a space 12 women who are loyal, filial(孝顺) or who give service to the nation 13 .
"Besides China, no other nation gives equal financial support and media attention to 14 sports. That"s why China 15 challenge the US in medals-it treats men and women 16 ," Susan Brownell, a
professor at 17 University of Missouri in St. Louis who 18 Chinese sports, told the Wall Street
Journal.
Now, however, more money is being 19 on men"s professional sports, which usually attract more
views. This could change the gender gap as sports grow 20 commercialized (商业化的) in China,
according to the Wall Street Journal. |

| | 阅读理解。 | You want to know about my staying in America, right? Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an
eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn"t know
how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School,
Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say, "I am fine" when people say "How are you?" But
in the US, I found that people say, "I am good" or "I"m tired".
One day, someone greeted me with "What"s up?" It made me confused. I thought for a moment
and then smiled because I didn"t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in
China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost
everything, so we study hard and that"s it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot
of work for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here are so talented, and I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at
an early age and that I have never thought about sports. | | 1. According to the writer, textbook English is ________ everyday English. | A. quite different from
B. the same as
C. more difficult than
D. easier than | | 2. A good US student spends his / her time __________ . | A. only in doing homework
B. only on sports or music
C. only in working for the public
D. on studies, sports or music and public work | | 3. Which of the following is NOT true? | A. The writer is now in US.
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. US students are talented and hard working.
D. The writer regrets(后悔) that he gave up playing the piano. | | 4. Which is the best title for the passage? | A. My Own Travel in the US
B. My Studying in the US
C. My Opinion about the US
D. My Friends in the US | | 阅读理解。 | Few of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people.
Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have
a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow
you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually
learn more in less time.
Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk
with. Group projects are also a great way to practice skills you"re not so sure of. For example: working
on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you"re a little nervous talking in front of a
group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick
you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you"ll know your whole group is rooting for you!
One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It"s a good
idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might
think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it"s getting to know another a little.
Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think
about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground
rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group. | | 1. Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________. | A. get to know more friends
B. learn more than you do alone
C. work in an organized way
D. get rid of shyness forever | | 2. The underlined phrase "root for" in the second paragraph means _______. | A. like
B. support
C. offer
D. prevent | | 3. What"s the purpose in checking others" progress? | A. To learn what they will do next.
B. To find good topics to talk with them about.
C. To help them when they need help.
D. To make sure that their work is finished on time. | | 4. According to the passage, we can infer that _______. | A. group members should be your close friends
B. talking with group members should be the first step of group work
C. knowing persons is more important than your projects
D. rules from teachers are more important than working among group members | 阅读理解。
请阅读下面一篇文章,并按照要求匹配信息. 注意:E=AB F=AC G=AD | 1 One of the best things you can possibly do is to start your own club. It"s great fun especially
if you are the sort of person who feels there"s never anything to do during the school holidays.
The first thing you need to come up with is an idea for your club. 2 Pets, clothes, pop music or
dancing groups, sports, making things? The list is endless.
Next you need some friends to be in your club with you. 3 All you need is three or four other
people who are interested in the same thing as you.
4 You should all sit down somewhere together with lots of pieces of paper and write down
every name you can think up. That"ll keep you busy for ages.
At your first meeting you should make up a rule book. And the first rule should be no grown-ups
or little/big brothers or sisters! The best clubs are always secret!
Now you have just about everything you need, except membership cards. These are very important
and again you can speed a lot of time making them. 5 Why not leave some space for a photo of
yourself? That will make the membership card really look like it.
So there you are, get clubbing! Once you get started you"ll think of loads of more interesting things
to do!
A. That"s easy.
B. Enjoy your own club!
C. Invite a designer to join you.
D. What are you interest in?
E. Summer vacation is just around the corner.
F. Then you need to pick a name for your club.
G. Use a bright thick pen to make a special design. | 最新试题
