听力原文：The word "sports" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later

听力原文： The word "sports" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About 100 years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today.

People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they want. A few people are paid for the sport they play and they are called "professional athletes", or "pros". They may only be pros for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in America earns more than $1,000,000 a year. The stars earn a lot more. Some international golf and tennis pros can make more than a million dollars a year. Of course, only a few pros can earn much money. But perhaps the most surprising thing about pros and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply say "Buy our things". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as the pros have". Famous pros can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow companies to use their names or photographers and they are paid for this usage. Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time.

(30)

A．Someone paid for the sport they play.

B．Hunting wild animals and birds.

C．Organized games.

D．Something people did in their spare time.

The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.

Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.

Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country, and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people. The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.

Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

The scientific establishment is playing a key role in research and development of genetic engineering biotechnology and in actively defending the industry under the banner of "sound science' and "scientific progress". Scientific advice to the government is heavily biased in favor of the industry. Lord Sainsbury, current Minister for Science, was former chairman of the Sainsbury family's supermarket chain, closely involved with the development of GE foods. Another prominent scientist, Derek Burke, advisor to the Parliamentary Committee on Science and Technology and former chair of the Advisory Committee on Novel Food Products, was a key participant, in the UK Government's Technology Foresight exercises, and in a follow-up group that determined the pro-biotech funding policy of the BBSRC. Derek Burke is an outspoken and staunch defender of the industry. The public are being informed uncritically by scientists like Burke and others, consciously or unconsciously serving commercial interests, and legitimate concerns about safety are caricatured as irrational fear arising out of ignorance.

The credibility of science and scientists has been steadily diminishing over the years as science has become more and more absorbed into the commercial sector. Science education at every level is being subverted to corporate aims: its chief purpose is to provide skilled but uncritical workers for industry. The UK Government has even run a competition for science students on how to commercially exploit scientific research. There has been no major open debate on genetic engineering within academic institutions that has been organized by the academic staff. With very few exceptions, students are not encouraged to ask questions about the ethics or the hazards of genetic engineering on either side of the Atlantic.

Scientific evidence of actual and potential hazards, which has been steadily building up over the past ten years, is being ignored and dismissed. More seriously, independent scientists reporting findings damaging to the industry are gagged and victimized. Within the UK, Dr. Arpad Pusztai, senior scientist of the publicly-funded Rowlett Institute, and his collaborators were awarded a 1.6 million pound grant to carry out systematic safety testing of GE food. They found that the GE potato lines tested were toxic to young rats, and Pusztai informed the public in a brief interview which was part of a TV documentary. A few days later, he was removed from his job, denied access to his data, and forbidden to speak on the subject.

The suppression of scientific findings is nothing new; it has been happening more and more within the past decade. Since the 1970s, scientific fraud has been increasing, as has the proportion of peer-reviewed scientific papers retracted. We have moved far away from the traditional ideals of science as science loses innocence and independence.

Towards the role the scientific establishment is playing the author's attitude is that of ______.

A．criticism

B．approval

C．tolerance

D．apprehension

第8题

Rugby has the reputation of being the roughest sports in the world. Outside the British Is

les, rugby is little known and, in fact, is often confused with soccer. But in England, as old sports saying serves to point out the differences between the two games: soccer is supposedly a gentlemen's game played by ruffians, whereas rugby is a ruffian's game played by gentlemen.

The game begins with a kick-off from one end of a 100-yard field. The receiving ruggers, as a rugby team is called, attempt to move the ball down the field, the opposing team attempts to stop the man with the ball.

The rules are quite simple. You cannot tackle anyone but the man who is carrying the ball, and once the ball carrier is tackled, he must give up the ball. Obviously, a good strategy for moving the ball. downfield is to carry it as far as possible, then pass the ball before being tackled.

If the ball carder can travel the length of the field, his team is awarded four points, and another two points are won by kicking the ball over the goalpost after the score. Penalties are equally simple, tackling a player who is not carrying the ball carries a ten-yard penalty. Much of rugby's reputation for roughness stems from the fact that the players wear no pads. To Americans accustomed to seeing professional foot-ball players in suits and helmets like armor, a rugby player's uniform. seems suicidally simple. Most ruggers wear a very thick jersey, heavy gymnasium shorts, heavy socks, rugby shoes, and a mouthpiece. Ruggers use other equipment or pads only when an injury requires protection. But even with this minimal equipment, the game is apparently not as brutal as it might seem. The players are quite satisfied with the lack of padding and helmets and actually think the game might be too rough if players used more equipment. "Human nature is not to hit as hard if no one is wearing pads," one rugger explains. Rugby games are played in two halves, each lasting forty minutes. Teams always meet to play two games consecutively, back-to-back. Again, playing a demanding physical sport like rugby for more than 160 minutes seems like an impossible task, but the ruggers love this idea. "It gives everyone on the team a chance to get into the game," they say. Rugby is slowly catching on in America. The sport is gaining an enthusiastic following among college teams and in independent ruggy "unions" organized on the British model. It has all the appeal of football, but it is simpler and requires much less costly equipment. Rugby is ready to be rediscovered.

The main purpose of this passage is to ______.

A．compare English and American sports

B．compare rugby to football

C．discuss the brutality of rugby

D．provide a brief introduction to rugby

Pheromones are substances that serve as chemical signals between members of the same sp

Pheromones are substances that serve as chemical signals between members of the

same species. They are secreted to the outside of the body and cause other individuals

of the species to have specific reactions. Pheromones, which are sometimes called

line "social hormones," affect a group of individuals somewhat like hormones do an individual

(5) animal. Pheromones are the predominant medium of communication among insects

(but rarely the sole method). Some species have simple pheromone systems and produce

only a few pheromones, but others produce many with various functions. Pheromone

systems are the most complex in some of the so-called social insects, insects that live

in organized groups.

(10) Chemical communication differs from that by sight or sound in several ways.

Transmission is relatively slow (the chemical signals are usually airborne), but the

signal can be persistent, depending upon the volatility of the chemical, and is sometimes

effective over a very long range. Localization of the signal is generally poorer than

localization of a sound or visual stimulus and is usually effected by the animal's moving

(15) upwind in response to the stimulus. The ability to modulate a chemical signal is limited,

compared with communication by visual or acoustic means, but some pheromones may

convey different meanings and consequently result in different behavioral or physiological

responses, depending on their concentration or when presented in combination. The

modulation of chemical signals occurs via the elaboration of the number of exocrine

(20) glands that produce pheromones. Some species, such as ants, seem to be very articulate

creatures, but their medium of communication is difficult for humans to study and

appreciate because of our own olfactory, insensitivity and the technological difficulties

in detecting and analyzing these pheromones.

Pheromones play numerous roles in the activities of insects, They may act as alarm

(25) substances, play a role in individual and group recognition, serve as attractants between

sexes, mediate the formation of aggregations, identify foraging trails, and be involved in

caste determination. For example, pheromones involved in caste determination include

the "queen substance" produced by queen honey bees. Aphids, which are particularly

vulnerable to predators because of their gregarious habits and sedentary nature, secrete

an alarm pheromone when attacked that causes nearby aphids to respond by moving away.

What does the passage mainly discuss？

A．How insects use pheromones to communicate

B．How pheromones are produced by insects

C．Why analyzing insect pheromones is difficult

D．The different uses of pheromones among various insect species
