Sport is very popular in England,In other words lots of English people like the idea of sport.A lot watch sport on TV.But the number who take part in sport is quite small.On the whole English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.

The most popular sport in England is football.Football is played on Saturday afternoon in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the Country to the other to see their team play.There are four divisions(级别）of the footballleague.Not surprisingly the best teams are in the first division.But the best supportersare often in the fourth division.You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!

Many other sports are also played in England,such as golf,in which you try to knocka ball into a hole;basketball,in which you try to get a ball through a net;tennis,in whichyou try to hit a ball so that your opponent(对手）can not hit it."As you see,if the ball had not been invented,there would have been no sport.

Actually,that is not quite true.s Athletics(田径）isn't played with a ball;nor horseracing.Perhaps that is why they are not as popular as football!2.You have to be a good supporter to watchdivision football.（）

In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, 22 are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as 23 levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is 24 to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages.

9.There is nothing more possible than a new hip or knee that can put the spring back inyour step.Patients receiving joint implants(移植）often are able to resume many of thephysical activities they love,even those as vigorous as tennis and hiking.No wonder.then,that joint replacement is growing in popularity.In the United States in 2007,surgeons performed about 806,000 hip and knee implants(the joints most commonly replaced),double the number performed a decade earlier.Though these procedures have become routine,they are not failure free.implants must sometimes be replaced,said Dr.Henrik Malchau,an orthopedic surgeon(矫形外科医生）at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.A study published in2007 found that 7 percent of hips implanted in Medicare patients had to be replaced withinseven and a half years.The percentage may sound low,but the finding suggests that thousands of hip patients eventually require a second operation,said Dr.Malchau.Those patients must endure additional recoveries,often painful,and increased medical expenses.Thefailure rate should be lower,many experts agree.Sweden,for instance,has a failure rate estimated to be a third of that in the United States.Sweden also has a national jointreplacement registry,a database of information from which surgeons can learnhow andwhy certain procedures go wrongA registry also helps surgeons learn quickly whetheraspecifictype of implant is particularly problematic,"Every country that has developedaregistry has been able to reduce failure rates."“Significantly,"said Dr.Daniel Berry,chief of orthopedic surgery at the Mayo Clinicin Rochester,Minn.A newly formed American Joint Replacement Registry will begin gathering data fromhospitals in the next 12 to 18 months.It's good news for those who are considering replacing a knee or hip.Why does Sweden have a lower rate of hip implant failure?（）

10.The environment affects the way people interact.To examine this conclusion,two researchers"decorated"three rooms:One room was refurnished to look ugly.The second room was intended to look average.The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces.The resultsindicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way peoplerated the faces.Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition,subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room.Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate.One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors,listed in order of preference,were blue,green,purple,red and yellow.The colors listed from most to least arousing were red,orange,yellow,violet,blue,and green.Lighting also affects behavior.Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood ofintimacy(亲密）that encourages conversation.The bright lights of an office or classroom,on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration,color,lighting,and even music and temperature all influence communication with others,but there is no all-purpose environment.The ideal environmentdepends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations ofthosepresent.The same environmentalfactors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create asereneclimate in which to study for final exams.What effect can dim lights of an eating environment bring about?（）

14.根据以下资料，回答66-69题。We first think of the traditional or nuclear family．This is a two-generation family, the father and the mother and their own children．Most couples wanted to have four children, two boys, two girls. 　　Some nuclear families, however, may add one or more grandparents to come to live with them, that is three generations．This kind of family with grandparents, parents, and grandchildren is called an extended family．This family type was not very common during the later half of the twentieth century, but it's becoming more common now as an elderly grandparent moves in to live with a son or daughter．This is more possible now that American homes have become larger．What is interesting, however, is that after the grandchildren move out of the home and start their own families, this extended family shrinks back to a nuclear family, with just two generations again living together, a grandparent and parents, with the grandchildren coming only for occasional visits． 　　Now, the fatherless or motherless family is one kind of what we call a single-parent family．In the fatherless family it's just the mother and her children．As I said, this can be the result of the husband's death, of an unmarried mother, of a separation or divorce．There are also a growing number of motherless families--where the father raises the children, for any of the same reasons．A motherless family may also be fatherless, but still a family with one adult．This is becoming more common in the big cities where a grandmother will raise her daughter's children while the daughter goes elsewhere to work. 　　One other new kind of family is becoming increasingly more common．A single parent with one or more children will marry again．Perhaps the other parent is also a single parent．Together they will start what is called a blended family, which blends together or combines the children from two other families.69 Which of the following is the best title of this passage?

20.根据以下材料，回答44-47题 The intelligence test used most often today are based on the work of a Frenchman，Alfred Binet．In l905，Binet Was asked by the French Ministry of Education to develop a way to identify those childtIin French schools who were too“mentally deficient(不足的)”to benefit from ordinary schooling andwho needed special education．The tests had to distinguish those who were merely behind in schoodfrom those who were actually mentally deficient． The items that Binet and his colleague Theophile Simon included on the test were chosen on the basis of their ideas about intelligence．Binet and Simon believed intelligence includes such abilitiesas understanding the meaning of words；solving problems，and making commonsense judgements.Two other important assumptions also shaped Binet’s and Simon’s work：(1)that children with moreintelligence will do better in school and(2)that older children have a greater ability than youngerchildren． Binet’S first test consisted of t }lirty tasks．They were simple things most children learn as a result oftheir everyday experiences．The tasks were arranged in groups．according to age．Binet decided whichtasks were appropriate for a given age group by giving them first to a large number of children of differentages．If more than half of the children of a given age passed a test，it was considered appropriate for thatage group.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
