16.Sponsorship in Sport
Sponsorship in sport is usually in the form of financial assistance offered by a commercial organization to a person or a team in return for publicity.
Most people admit that sponsorship in sport is necessary.For one thing,sport has become increasingly expensive to manage,and players need money to be able to participate at a high level.For another,watching sport has become a major form of social entertainment,so sponsorship of sporting events helps companies to promote their products.(71)FThe only negative aspects for a sponsor are if an athlete should play badly or misbehave,but generally sport creates a good image (形象) for a company by conveying health and fitness.
(72)C The organizers of the Olympic Games have been criticized for accepting sponsorship from fast food companies.People question why the organizers take money from such companies.Public health experts believe if we really want to promote health alongside excellence in sport,then it must be linked by approvals for products which support good health.(73)A
Nowadays sponsorship is no longer limited to major events and professionals.Local teams and young players are also sponsored.There is a trend also for amateurs to rely on sponsorship for equipment,clothing,and to cover their expenses of training and competing even though they are not full-time sportspeople.So sponsorship enables major world events to become more impressive.(74)E Besides,sponsorship enables us to view our favorite sporting event on television,even though it is taking place on the other side of the world.
However,such commercialization sometimes means compromise,and in fact,for some less popular sports it may be a negative factor,and it may even result in the end of that sporting code.Sports which are seen as less popular and therefore less commercially successful can no longer attract sponsors.(75)GThe uneven distribution of sponsorship could lead to the end of some less popular sports,and could reduce our freedom of sporting choice.

A.It shouldn't be related to any unhealthy products.
B.Sponsorship may mislead players about sporting choices.
C.However,this has caused serious arguments for some major events.
D.The end goal for the sponsors is to deliver value and growth for their brands.
E.It also promotes participation at grassroots level,bringing sports to everyone.
F.Tax relief is another advantage,which means sponsorship can help to save money.
G.Sponsorship may create the situation of giving with the one hand and taking with the other.

分析 赞助是商业组织以经济的形式向个人或团体资助,文章并分析了赞助对体育运动的好处和弊端.

解答 FCAEG
71.F 上下文语境.根据后面的句子The only negative aspects for a sponsor are if an athlete should play badly or misbehave…提到是赞助的弊端,所以前面都应该说的是赞助的好处,特别是Tax relief is another advantage,故选F.
72.C 概括题.根据第三段的内容可知,主要对fast food companies这样的赞助商提供的 一些产品产生质疑,认为这样会不利运动员的健康,故引起了激烈的争论,故答案为C.
73.A 细节题.前句 it must be linked by approvals for products which support good health认为赞助的食品应该和促进健康有关系,而不是一些 不健康的食品,故选A.
74.E 细节题.根据该段的 第一句话Nowadays sponsorship is no longer limited to major events and professionals.如今,赞助不再局限于那些大赛或者专业是赛事,言下之意一些业余的、草根的比赛也有涉及,故选E.
75.G 细节题.根据文章最后一句话The uneven distribution of sponsorship could lead to the end of some less popular sports,and could reduce our freedom of sporting choice.一些参差不齐的赞助可能导致一些不受欢迎的项目终结,也会减少对运动选择的自由,所以赞助具有双面性,故选G.

点评 本文是一篇选句填空阅读,题目主要考查上下文内容联系以及文章内容理解.做题时学生应仔细阅读原文,把握文章主要内容,联系文章上下文内容并结合所给选项含义,从中选出正确答案,一定要做到有理有据,切忌胡乱猜测.

6.Everybody gets angry,but out-of-control anger isn't good for you or those around you.So 
here are five simple strategies to help you learn how to manage your anger:
•Relax.Breathe deeply,from your stomach.(36)F Repeat it to yourself and visualize a relaxing time and experience.
•Change the way you think.When you're angry,your thinking can get exaggerated (夸大的).(37)A
 For instance,instead of telling yourself,"Oh,it's terrible!Everything's ruined,"tell yourself,"It's understadable that I'm upset about it,but it's not the end of the world."
(38)•C Statements like"This never works."or"You're always forgetting things."will make you feel your anger is justified (情有可原的) and there's no way to solve the problem.
They might upset people who might be willing to work with you on a solution.
•Have a better communication.Angry people tend to jump to conclusions.If you are in a heated discussion,slow down.(39)B And take your time before answering.Instead of saying the first thing that comes into your head,think carefully about what you want to say.
•Use humor.Psychologists say that highly angry people tend to think"things ought to go my way!""Silly humor"can help you get a more balanced perspective.So,when you feel that anger coming the next time,picture yourself as a king or queen,walking around,admired by everybody,and getting your own way in every situation.The more detail you can get into your
imaginary scenes,the more likely it is to put a smile on your face.(40)G

A.Try replacing these thoughts with more reasonable ones.
B.Listen carefully to what the other person is saying.
C.Be careful with words like"never"or"always".
D.Avoid using these strategies when you're in a tense situation.
E.Try changing the topics so your talks won't turn into arguments.
F.Then slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as"take it easy".
G.That will help you realize that the things you're angry about are really not very important.

7.Does Fame Drive You Crazy?
Although being famous might sound like a dream come true,today's stars,feeling like zoo animals,face pressures that few of us can imagine.They are at the center of much of the world's attention.Paparazzi (狗仔队) camp outside their homes,cameras ready.Tabloids(小报) publish thrilling stories about their personal lives.Just imagine not being able to do anything without being photographed or interrupted for a signature!
According to psychologist Christina Villarreal,celebrities-famous people-worry constantly about their public appearance.Eventually,they start to lose track of who they really are,seeing themselves the way their fans imagine them,not as the people they were before everyone knew their names."Over time,"Villarreal says,"they feel separated and alone."
The phenomenon of tracking celebrities has been around for ages.In the 4th century BC,painters followed Alexander the Great into battle,hoping to picture his victories for his admirers.When Charles Dickens visited America in the 19th century,his sold-out readings attracted thousands of fans,leading him to complain about his lack of privacy.Tabloids of the 1920s and 1930s ran articles about film-stars in much the same way that modern tabloids and websites do.
Being a public figure today,however,is a lot more difficult than it used to be.Superstars cannot move about without worrying about photographers with modern cameras.When they say something silly or do something ridiculous,there is always the Internet to spread the news in minutes and keep their"story"alive forever.
If fame is so troublesome,why aren't all celebrities running away from it?The answer is there are still ways to deal with it.Some stars stay calm by surrounding themselves with trusted friends and family or by escaping to remote places away from big cities.They focus not on how famous they are but on what they love to do or whatever made them famous in the first place.
Sometimes a few celebrities can get a little justice.Still,even stars who enjoy full justice often complain about how hard their lives are.They are tired of being famous already.

32.It can be learned from the passage that stars todayB.
A.are often misunderstood by the public
B.can no longer have their privacy protected
C.spend too much on their public appearance
D.care little about how they have come into fame
33.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?B
A.Great heroes of the past were generally admired.
B.The problem faced by celebrities has a long history.
C.Well-known actors are usually targets of tabloids.
D.Works of popular writers often have a lot of readers.
34.What makes it much harder to be a celebrity today?A
A.Availability of modern media.
B.Inadequate social recognition.
C.Lack of favorable chances.
D.Huge population of fans.
35.What is the author's attitude toward modern celebrity?D
A.Disappointed.
B.Sceptical.
C.Disapproving.
D.Sympathetic.

6.Riding Day   
As I watch a single horse running across the field,I think back to when I saw my first horse.She was standing in a field."Hold out your hand.Gentle now,"my grandfather said.Nervously,I did.Stepping toward me,she turned her head to inspect me with one coffee-colored eye.At that moment,I could have known she smiled.This was my first childhood memory,in which I realized that I would soon learn to ride her,and in my heart I felt like a true Comanche.
    For days after our first meeting,I sat in the field with my horse.I studied her as she studied me.I learned which grasses she preferred to eat; she would lift her head into the gentle spring wind that often blew across the field.
Finally,the time came to ride her.It was a tribal(部落的) tradition for younger men to spend most of their days hunting.This left the teaching to the elders,like my grandfather.These lessons were extremely important.Every boy was put on a horse before he could walk and was expected to be a skilled rider by age five.When the elders felt a boy was an expert,he was able to have his own horse.
On riding day,I told my horse that we both had much to prove today,and I remembered nuzzling her and kissing her long face.When she nuzzled me back,I knew she understood.I felt the days spent in the field with her had given me a strange belief in her--in us.I encouraged her to move,and with her head held high,she carried me.She was as proud of me as I was of her.
We succeeded.The elders of the tribe announced me a skilled horseman.I stood in a circle of men from my tribe.I could feel my heart beating quickly.Then the moment came when my father presented me with my first bow and arrow.I had never before seen so much pride in his eyes.
    Today my father leads the horse and his grandson--my son--climb upon his own horse in golden sunlight.My father insisted on teaching him to ride and doing it in the way of our people.Proudly,I stepped aside to let him do so.I smile,cherishing the details of this moment as much as I have always cherished the memories of my own riding day.

59.The writer and the horse got to know each other when theyD.
A.ate their meals together
B.went for short rides together
C.received training from an elder
D.spent time observing one another
60.From the underlined sentence,we can learn thatA.
A.the writer and the horse developed a close bond
B.both the writer and the horse were well-prepared
C.the horse had formed a good habit
D.it took courage to ride in public
61.It is Comanche's tradition thatA.
A.skilled horsemen can get their bows and arrows 
B.on riding day all tribe members hunt together
C.the tribe leaders pass down the riding skills
D.each boy receives a horse at the age of five 
62.We can infer from the last paragraph that the writerC
A.takes pride in his son's talent
B.values their family memories
C.delights in the tradition passed down
D.respects the way their people ride horses.
