    Sports are by nature competitive. But recently, the over-competitive nature youth sports seem to have taken on has led to cause for ____.
    Those who are strongly against competition point out that in a competition, only one wins while the rest ____. They argue that competition leads children to define themselves by the outcome, tying their self-esteem(自尊心) up with their ability to ____ others. They further argue that competition causes anxiety, affects learning and causes children to view others as____ to their success. Competition restricts participation and ___ success. A “win-at-all-costs” mentality can cause children to pay little attention to honesty and fair play.
    On the opposite side of the debate are those who view competition as a ____ part of American society. They argue that placing kids in a competitive situation such as sports helps prepare them for a(n) ____ life in our society that is full of competition. ____ is a normal part of human nature and part of everyday life. Other arguments ____ competitive sports are that they provide challenges, help kids develop skills, and teach them how to get along with others.
    The third side of this debate says that a little competition can’t be that ____, as long as competition does not get out of hand and take on a “win-at-all-costs” mentality. They claim that competition in itself is not bad and it can serve as a ____ of social comparison, necessary for adolescents to see how ____ they are. Their advice is to introduce competition ____ while focusing more on mastery and cooperation during childhood. The gradual shift toward competition will allow children to build skills, participate fully, and focus on ____ rather than winning.
    It is important that you consider all of the possible ____ of competition before you put your child in a competitive situation.

    In 1935, the clarinetist and bandleader Benny Goodman, aged just twenty?six, left New York with his fourteen?piece “swing” band and, traveling in a ragtag group of cars, headed for the huge Palomar Ballroom in Los Angeles. It was not an easy trip. ?There were half a dozen dismal, sparsely attended one?nighters and three weeks at a dance hall in Denver, where the band was forced to play waltzes, tangos, and novelty numbers. On the opening night at the Palomar, the band played ballad numbers in the first set, and there was little response from the dancers. Then one of the musicians said, if they were going to bomb again they might well do it in style. So Goodman called for his hot, often uptempo arrangements, many of them by the ingenious black bandleader and arranger Fletcher Henderson, and the kids stopped dancing, clustered around the bandstand, and began roaring. ?Before the weeks at the Palomar were over, it was clear that Goodman had suddenly made jazz—still a suspect and largely subliminal American folk music, despite the brilliant inventions during the previous decade of Jelly Roll Morton and others—into a popular music.
    Goodman?s surprising ways continued. In 1936, he shook up the white entertainment establishment by hiring two black musicians—the elegant pianist Teddy Wilson and the plunging vibraphonist Lione Hampton. (To be sure, Wilson and Hampton did not play in the band; instead, they appeared with Goodman and the drummer Gene Krupa during intermissions.) A year later, when the band went into the Paramount Theater in New York for three weeks, legions of kids appeared, and a screaming, dancing riot nearly took place. ?It was the first great American show frenzy, and it prepared the way for the Sinatra frenzy of 1947, and for all the Beatles frenzies, and for all the mindless rock?borne frenzies of the Seventies and Eighties.
    Then, on the night of January 16, 1938, Goodman, challenging the long?hairs, took his band into a sold?out Carnegie Hall. The big band played a dozen numbers, the trio two numbers, and the quartet five numbers. ?Despite the immediate rumblings from Olin Downes, the Times?s classical music critic (“The playing last night, if noise, speed and beat, all old devices, are heat, was “hot” as it could be, but nothing came of it all, and in the long run it was decidedly monotonous”), Goodman?s concert moved jazz even further up the American popular register. ［412 words］
    小题1: This passage is mainly
    A  a general review of Jazz music.
    B  a biography of Benny Goodman.
    C  about the origin of American folk music.
    D  about how jazz became popular in America.
    小题2:  Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A  The band?s first music show in Los Angles was an immediate success.
    B  Goodman is considered the father of Jazz music.
    C  Benny Goodman was unknown to public when he left New York.
    D  The band scheduled to play waltzes, tangos and novelty numbers at a dance hall in Denver.
    小题3: It could be inferred from the passage that
    A  Jazz is a style of music native to America.
    B  Classic music had become outdated at Goodman?s time.
    C  Morton and Goodman were contemporaries.
    D  Goodman was the first bandleader who hired Black musicians in 1930s.
    小题4: The phrase “shake up” (Line 1,Paragraph 2) in the context probably means
    A  to give a very unpleasant shock.
    B  to make changes to an organization.
    B  to get rid of a problem.
    D  to point out, designate.
    小题5:  Towards Goodman?s music show frenzy, Olin Downes, the classical music critic has
    A  approving attitude.  B  satirizing attitude.
    C  regretting mind.  D  exaggerated tone.

    NO matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see Lonely Planet guidebooks in the hands of travelers.

    Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. This year marks the company’s 40th anniversary. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts, all dedicated to travel.
    Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They save you time and keep you from missing the very best things in a place. And of course, their reviews of hostels, hotels and restaurants, in addition to ticket information about your destination, are useful.
    This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map, directing the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.
    But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also lament(哀叹)that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same things and having the same experiences as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same trail.
    Another criticism of travel guides is that they have an overly(过度的)large influence on local communities. For example, some locals dedicate their lives solely(仅仅)to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They fake a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses just to attract tourists’ dollars.
    小题1:The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that　　　.
    A．it can help you to save time and money when traveling
    B．you will not miss the best things without having to make choices
    C．it provides a lot of useful information about your destination
    D．you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city
    小题2:Who will find a Lonely Planet guidebook very useful?
    A．Someone who always takes a taxi when traveling.
    B．A tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.
    C．A person who’s nervous touring an unfamiliar place.
    D．A native traveler who is traveling alone.
    小题3:People criticize the guidebook because　　　.
    A．the guidebook is not as useful as most travelers expect
    B．travelers using it will be bored with meeting the same people on their journey
    C．travelers using it may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures
    D．local people keep their old lifestyle under the guidebook’s influence
    小题4:What does the underlined word“fake”in the last paragraph probably mean?
    A．mistake　　B．learn　　C．pretend　　D．create

    Each year on February 2nd, there is special festival called Groundhog Day (土拨鼠日 )' forecasting event in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. When it comes, people from around the world, including 5,000 in the small town today, watch this tongue-twisting(发音饶舌的) small town for a sign from one groundhog that supposedly predicts when that years' spring will arrive.
    If it's a cloudy day outside when the groundhog pops from its cave, then spring will arrive early that year. However, if it is sunny outside, the groundhog will supposedly be scared by its own shadow, hiding underground for six more weeks of cold weather.
    Of course, Punxsutawney Phil's prediction is no more able to guarantee the extended forecast than your local weatherman. ABC News reports that an analysis by the National Climate Data Center found that Phil's predictions are more often wrong than right.  
    Philis is also found to have made some unpleasant predictions. Ever since 1887, he has predicted 99 extended winters and just 16 early springs .Nine of the years' predictions were unavailable, according to ABC.
    The holiday began as a German tradition in 18th century and became even more of a cultural phenomenon after the 1993 film Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray.
    Punxsutawney Phil has become a celebrity in his own right.  Each year, the fatter animal with long teeth is watched by millions as he emerges from a cave in the town he is named after. Phil has become so beloved by the town that he actually lives in the local library with his “wife" Phyllis.
    Taking inspiration from the hard state of Bill Murray’s character in the classic film, Yahoo contributor Owen Rust says Groundhog Day is a good time to reflect on one’s routines.
    小题1:The underlined word “pops” means “        ”.
    A．escapesB．appearsC．increasesD．hides
    小题2:The reason why Phil's predictions aren't pleasing is that_____________.
    A．some of the predictions were unavailable
    B．Phil wants to do that for fun
    C．Phil likes to make unpleasant predictions
    D．he has predicted more late springs
    小题3:How does Punxsutawney Phil become a celebration?
    A．By an accident.
    B．From people's life improving.
    C．By his own attractive force
    D．From much money raised by the town.
    小题4:Which does this passage mainly talk about?
    A．The National Climate Data Center
    B．A German tradition
    C．A tongue-twisting small town
    D．Groundhog Day weather forecasting

    “Tom!”
    There was no answer.
    “Tom!”
    Still no answer.
    “Where’s that boy gone? Tom!”
    The old lady looked all around the room. She looked under the bed, but found only the cat.
    “If I catch that boy, …” she murmured to herself.
    She opened the door and looked out into the garden.
    “Tom!” she shouted.
    Then she heard a slight noise behind her. She turned round just in time to catch the boy as he came out of a cupboard.
    “And what have you been doing in there?”
    “Nothing,” said the boy.
    “Nothing! Look at your hands and your mouth! What is that stuff?”
    “I don’t know, Aunt.”
    “Well, I know. It’s a jam. I’ve told you forty times that if you touched that jam, I’d skin you.
    Give me that stick.”
    “Look out, Aunt! Look behind you!”
    The old lady turned round and Tom was out of the door in a flash, over the garden fence and away.
    “Damn that boy! Will I never learn? He’s always playing tricks on me. And he seems to know just now how far he can go, too. But I can’t take a stick to him. I really can’t. After all, he’s my dead sister’s boy. Ah well, he’ll play truant today and I’ll have to make him work tomorrow.”
    At supper Aunt Polly tried to trick Tom into admitting that he hadn’t gone to school.
    “It was rather hot today, wasn’t it, Tom?”
    “Yes,” answered Tom.
    “You didn’t have to open your shirt collar where I sewed（缝） it, then.”
    Tom was confident, now. He opened his jacket. His collar was securely sewed.
    “Oh Tom,” said Aunt Polly. “You’re a good boy really.”
    She was sorry that she had been wrong about him.
    “But Aunt,” came a voice. It was Sidney, Tom’s younger brother. “Didn’ t you sew Tom’s collar with white cotton? Look! Now it’s black.
    Tom was already running out of the door.

    Zoos have been around for centuries — and they’ve changed a lot over the years. In the Middle Ages, wealthy people kept animals in their gardens. Public animal parks appeared in European cities in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The Philadelphia Zoo, the first in the United States, opened in 1874.
    Until a few decades (十年) ago, most zoos were organized by creatures — monkeys in one area, cats in another, birds somewhere else, just like museum collections. In recent years, zoos have instead begun grouping animals that would normally interact (互相作用) in the wild. Moreover, instead of closing animals behind bars, designers are creating landscapes like the environments in which these creatures would naturally be found. Nearby signs provide information about the animals and their habitats in parts of the world where they normally live.
    The Denver Zoo’s new Predator Ridge exhibit, for example, aims to teach visitors about Africa. Eight acres of land provide homes for 14 animal species, including lions, porcupines, cranes, and wild dogs. Plants from the region grow alongside African-like landform. Ten-foot-tall mounds (土墩) give lions a place from which to survey their surroundings, just as they would do in the wild.
    Landscape design makes visitors to the Denver Zoo’s Predator Ridge exhibit feel like they’re really in Africa.
    Animals in Predator Ridge can’t actually be mixed with one another, for safety reasons. But hidden deep channels and other smart features allow visitors to see all the animals at once. Different species can see each other too.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Protection of zoo animals.
    B．Changes of zoos over the time.
    C．The safety problem of zoos.
    D．The living habits of zoo animals.
    小题2:In the Denver Zoo ten-foot-tall mounds are built to _____.
    A．protect the safety of visitors
    B．separate lions from other animals
    C．create a natural environment for lions
    D．offer visitors a better view of lions
    小题3:The underlined part “the region” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to _____.
    A．AfricaB．the Predator Ridge exhibit
    C．the Denver ZooD．the ten-foot-tall mounds
    小题4:We can learn from the passage that _____.
    A．the earliest zoos were probably rich people’s gardens
    B．the Philadelphia Zoo is the first zoo in the world
    C．the new Predator Ridge exhibit is held in Africa
    D．more animals will be kept in zoos in the future

    Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct.
    Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?
    People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.
    Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.
    The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪); someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.
    Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter—a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter—a person who made pots and pans.
    The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.
    Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
    Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.
    小题1: Which of the following aspects do the surnames in the passage NOT cover?
    A．Places where people lived.B．People’s characters.

    When I put a foot in the school for the first time, the thing that I will never forget is a big smile coming from the people of the reception. This is the kind of things that means a lot to you when you are feeling like a strange person in a country that you have never been, as it was in my case.
    In the classes, I don’t know if I’m a lucky person, but the teachers that I have had, in my opinion, are excellent, very professional in their jobs, and they just seem to enjoy teaching, and make the lessons useful and classes amusing.
    Another fact that I’ve really enjoyed is that the school is not only aimed at the English language knowledge. You can also find every kind of activity intended to entertain the students in their free time, with things like going to museums and galleries, visiting special places in the city or going to the very famous pub night to have a few beers with your friends. So here you have the opportunity to enjoy the stay in London, to meet new friends, and also to learn everything about the city and the British culture.
    Personally, there are some facts that have not been easy for me since I arrived, like being so far away from my family, the differences between English food and the food I used to eat, and the high prices for everything. However, I am impressed about a very developed and multicultural city, with people aware of the sense of living in community, with a public transport amazingly thorough, with outstanding tourist places, with opportunities for work and with food from every part of the world that you can imagine.
    I’ve experienced something priceless with my friends in London. Every time I made contact with my friends from another country, I learn about their culture. I was lucky to have such good friends. I think that time was a present for me.
