阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项.

  Only a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birth place. Books were very expensive and there were few national newspapers and no radio or television. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. Only a very small quantity of reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read or write. For this reason, native dialects(方言)grew up and people spoke the way their parents and grandparents spoke. A woman from Cornwall who traveled just as far as London would find herself in a place where people spoke what was almost a different language.

  Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You are used to owning books and having them around, to reading magazines and newspapers and to a choice of national television and radio programs. You, and everyone around you, are used to traveling not just in the British Islands but all over the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances have been made shorter. It might have taken that Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four hours by train and less than six hours by road.

  The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialects are dying out. Writing, printing and broadcasting have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called standard (标准的) English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.

1.From the information given in the passage we know that a century ago ________.

[  ]

A.people wouldn't like to leave their birth place

B.there were neither books nor newspapers

C.not many people could read and write

D.people learned to read and write from their parents and grandparents

2.If a woman who lived in Comwall a hundred years ago went to London, she would find ________.

[  ]

A.London was far from her birth place

B.London was a strange city

C.London people used a very difficult language

D.she could hardly understand what London people spoke

3.Things have changed so much that people are not used to ________ any more.

[  ]

A.watching TV and listening to the radio

B.reading books and magazines

C.traveling just within the British Islands

D.traveling the world over

Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.

Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.

There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don’t need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don’t have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.

Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be “green gyms”. They are better replacements for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it’s free.

1.Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?

  A. Cycling around a lake.                             B. Motor racing in the desert.

  C. Playing basketball in a gym.                    D. Swimming in a sports center.

2.What do we know about golf from the passage?

  A. It is popular in Portugal and Spain.                

B. It causes water shortages in some areas.

  C. It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.

  D. It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.

3. The author writes the passage to_______.

  A. show us the function of major sports

  B. introduce different types of environment-friendly sports

  C. discuss the major influence of popular sports

D. encourage us to go in for green sports
