Various sports attract fans for different reasons: Spectator sports draw even more fans who just love to watch. Here are some of the most beloved sports worldwide.
Football - 4 billion fans
Football, better known as soccer in the US, is by far the most popular sport in the world. Experts estimate that the origin (起源) of football may go as far back as two thousand years, beginning in ancient China during the Han Dynasty. One major reason for football’s global popularity is that, unlike other sports that require expensive equipment, all you need to play football is a ball and your feet.
Volleyball - 900 million fans
Volleyball pits two teams across a high net, each attempting to smash the ball onto the opponent’s (对手的) floor. A popular variant, beach volleyball, is competed on sand by pairs rather than the regular six players per team. The crowd appeal of beach volleyball has grown greatly in recent years.
Tennis - 1 billion fans
An estimated one billion people worldwide follow professional tennis tournaments and matches. In tennis, players on both sides of a net try to hit a ball with a racket so that it either goes past their opponent or bounces twice on their opponent’s side of the court to score points. Tennis superstars like Rafael Nadal, and Serena Williams are now household names around the world, with huge international fan bases.
Hockey - 2 billion fans
Hockey, both on ice and on a field, wins a following of two billion enthusiastic fans worldwide. Field hockey is mainly played in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia, while ice hockey is particularly popular in Canada and the US, where kids grow up playing pond hockey. Unlike ice hockey, field hockey usually does not have body contact in the form of checking and hitting.

In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.
Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do
Caroline decided to make butter from their cows’ milk and sell it at the market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a small tin plate, which sat in a larger tin plate filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture out of shape.
Caroline’s butter sculptures were a huge success. Before long, she was showing them at markets and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She finally opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter an excellent material to work with. At the 1893 market, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor (雕刻家).
4. According to paragraph3, why did Caroline make butter sculptures

Let’s get one thing straight: Studying sometimes is boring, right But it is extremely necessary. After all, working through difficult material is a necessary part of the learning process—which leads to the obvious question: If I have to do it, is there at least a way to make it fun
During Carol Dweck’s research for her book Mindset (思维模式): The New Psychology of Success, she found that students deal with learning in one of the two ways: they either look at difficult courses with a fixed mindset or with a growth mindset. Those with fixed mindsets believe that intelligence and talent are set in stone. For example, if they find a certain math problem difficult, they’d think, “I guess I’m just not a math person.” In contrast, students with growth mindsets are certain that they could change and grow in every area of their lives. If they come across a difficult problem, they will think, “I can get better at this...But I have to tough it out.”
Dweck found that most students start out pretty interested in a subject. Yet over the semester, something happens. Students with the fixed mindset may stay interested only when they do well right away. Those who find it difficult are likely to show a big drop in their interest and enjoyment. If it isn’t a testimony (证明) to their intelligence, they can’t enjoy it. In contrast, students with the growth mindset are able to continue to show the same high level of enjoyment even when they find the work very difficult. Difficulty and interest go hand in hand.
If you want to succeed and enjoy your studying, don’t think of your classes as a series of tests that show just how intelligent or unintelligent you are. Instead, think of them more as ongoing opportunities to learn and grow.
8. Which of the following might students with fixed mindsets believe
A. They are not interested in math.
B Their abilities are not valued.
C. Their mindset determines their ability.
D. Failure is caused by their intelligence.
9. What does the underlined phrase “tough it out” mean in paragraph 2
A. Stick to it. B. Get away from it. C. Give in to it. D. Refer to it.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Students who are able to deal with difficult problems do better in their studies.
B. Students who find it hard to fix problems lose their interest in their studies.
C. Students mindsets play a huge role in how interested they are in their studies.
D. Students’ interests have a big effect on how well they perform in their studies.
11. What may the author suggest learners doing to make studying fun
A. Choosing an active and positive mindset.
B. Regarding learning as a test of intelligence.
C. Paying little attention to the task difficulty.
D. Looking for a strong inspiration to succeed.
D
We’re all familiar with the feeling―it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air rushes out of our nose at a shocking 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could be pushed out.
For decades, countless people have tested the theory. When finding it almost impossible to keep their eyes open while sneezing, many have concluded that the theory must be true. If you try it yourself, the possibilities are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. Furthermore, increased pressure from sneezing actually builds up in the blood vessels (血管), which may cause vessels to break but may not be possible to push the eyeballs out.
Why did this theory start, anyway Some say that it all began in 1882, when the New York Times reported an incident of a woman who burst one of her eyeballs during a sudden sneeze. Others point at the fact that different high-pressure experiences, such as childbirth, can cause blood vessels in the eyes to break out. Still others say that closing our eyes when we sneeze shows the theory is true. Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze ― to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!
12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1
A. The cause of a sneeze. B. The danger of sneezing.
C. The importance of a sneeze. D. The experience of sneezing.
13. Why won’t eyeballs be pushed out while people are sneezing
A Because they are fixed firmly in the eyes.
B. Because high pressure builds up in the eyes.
C. Because they are held strongly by blood vessels.
D. Because increased pressure prevents them from bursting out.
14. What can we infer from the text
A. Sneezes usually cause an itchy nose.
B. People sneeze to burst out unwanted things.
C. The high pressure caused by a sneeze will become less through breathing.
D. People close their eyes when sneezing to stop their eyeballs from popping out.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine.
C. A storybook. D. A textbook.

In 1867, Caroline Shawk Brooks and her husband, Samuel, had a farm in Arkansas. Life on the farm was not easy. From sunrise to sunset, Caroline and Samuel milked cows, gardened, and picked cotton. This left Caroline no time for her dream of becoming an artist.
Time was not the only problem. Money was a worry too. The cotton crops were failing. What could Caroline and Samuel do
Caroline decided to make butter from their cows’ milk and sell it at the market. But other farms also made and sold butter. How would Caroline set her butter apart from the rest This is where Caroline’s artistic talent came in. To draw attention to her butter, she began making small butter sculptures (雕塑). She used many different tools, such as broom straws, and tree sticks. She also put the butter in a small tin plate, which sat in a larger tin plate filled with ice to stop the butter sculpture out of shape.
Caroline’s butter sculptures were a huge success. Before long, she was showing them at markets and exhibitions. One of her largest butter sculptures was a life-size statue called A Study in Butter. It was transported all the way to Paris for the 1878 world’s fair.
Caroline also made sculptures using marble (大理石). She finally opened a studio in New York City where she created many marble sculptures, some of which were shown at the 1893 world’s fair in Chicago.
But Caroline never stopped making butter art. She considered butter an excellent material to work with. At the 1893 market, she also displayed her butter techniques with a sculpture of Christopher Columbus.
Caroline Shawk Brooks died in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1913. She is remembered as the first known American butter sculptor (雕刻家).

Let’s get one thing straight: Studying sometimes is boring, right But it is extremely necessary. After all, working through difficult material is a necessary part of the learning process—which leads to the obvious question: If I have to do it, is there at least a way to make it fun
During Carol Dweck’s research for her book Mindset (思维模式): The New Psychology of Success, she found that students deal with learning in one of the two ways: they either look at difficult courses with a fixed mindset or with a growth mindset. Those with fixed mindsets believe that intelligence and talent are set in stone. For example, if they find a certain math problem difficult, they’d think, “I guess I’m just not a math person.” In contrast, students with growth mindsets are certain that they could change and grow in every area of their lives. If they come across a difficult problem, they will think, “I can get better at this...But I have to tough it out.”
Dweck found that most students start out pretty interested in a subject. Yet over the semester, something happens. Students with the fixed mindset may stay interested only when they do well right away. Those who find it difficult are likely to show a big drop in their interest and enjoyment. If it isn’t a testimony (证明) to their intelligence, they can’t enjoy it. In contrast, students with the growth mindset are able to continue to show the same high level of enjoyment even when they find the work very difficult. Difficulty and interest go hand in hand.
If you want to succeed and enjoy your studying, don’t think of your classes as a series of tests that show just how intelligent or unintelligent you are. Instead, think of them more as ongoing opportunities to learn and grow.
8. Which of the following might students with fixed mindsets believe
A. They are not interested in math.
B. Their abilities are not valued.
C. Their mindset determines their ability.
D. Failure is caused by their intelligence.
9. What does the underlined phrase “tough it out” mean in paragraph 2
A. Stick to it. B. Get away from it. C. Give in to it. D. Refer to it.
10. What can we learn from paragraph 3
A. Students who are able to deal with difficult problems do better in their studies.
B. Students who find it hard to fix problems lose their interest in their studies.
C. Students mindsets play a huge role in how interested they are in their studies.
D. Students’ interests have a big effect on how well they perform in their studies.
11. What may the author suggest learners doing to make studying fun
A. Choosing an active and positive mindset.
B. Regarding learning as a test of intelligence.
C. Paying little attention to the task difficulty.
D. Looking for a strong inspiration to succeed.

If it isn’t a testimony to their intelligence, they can’t enjoy it. In contrast, students with the growth mindset are able to continue to show the same high level of enjoyment even when they find the work very difficult. (拥有固定心态的学生可能只有当他们马上做得很好时才会保持兴趣。那些觉得很难的人，他们的兴趣和乐趣可能会大大下降。如果不能证明他们的智商，他们就不会喜欢这个科目。相比之下，拥有成长型心态的学生即使发现任务非常困难，也能继续表现出同样高水平的乐趣。)”可知，学生的心态很大程度上影响他们的学习兴趣，即心态对他们的学习兴趣起着很大的作用。故选C。

We’re all familiar with the feeling―it usually starts with a little itch (痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air rushes out of our nose at a shocking 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could be pushed out.
For decades, countless people have tested the theory. When finding it almost impossible to keep their eyes open while sneezing, many have concluded that the theory must be true. If you try it yourself, the possibilities are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. Furthermore, increased pressure from sneezing actually builds up in the blood vessels (血管), which may cause vessels to break but may not be possible to push the eyeballs out.
Why did this theory start, anyway Some say that it all began in 1882, when the New York Times reported an incident of a woman who burst one of her eyeballs during a sudden sneeze. Others point at the fact that different high-pressure experiences, such as childbirth, can cause blood vessels in the eyes to break out. Still others say that closing our eyes when we sneeze shows the theory is true. Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze ― to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!
12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 1
A. The cause of a sneeze. B. The danger of sneezing.
C. The importance of a sneeze. D. The experience of sneezing.
13. Why won’t eyeballs be pushed out while people are sneezing
A. Because they are fixed firmly in the eyes.
B. Because high pressure builds up in the eyes.
C. Because they are held strongly by blood vessels.
D. Because increased pressure prevents them from bursting out.
14. What can we infer from the text
A. Sneezes usually cause an itchy nose.
B. People sneeze to burst out unwanted things.
C The high pressure caused by a sneeze will become less through breathing.
D. People close their eyes when sneezing to stop their eyeballs from popping out.
15. Where is the text most likely from
A. A guidebook. B. A magazine.
C. A storybook. D. A textbook.
【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为，如果我们不闭上眼睛，它们就会弹出来，文章用一些研究来表明没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球，所以我们对此不用担心。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“We’re all familiar with the feeling―it usually starts with a little itch(痒) deep inside the nose. Next comes the awareness that it’s going to happen. Then, achoo! Air rushes out of our nose at a shocking 100 miles per hour, bursting out whatever was causing the itch. The high-pressure from a sneeze(喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could be pushed out.(我们都很熟悉这种感觉——通常开始于鼻子深处有点痒。接下来是意识到它将要发生。然后，阿嚏！空气以惊人的每小时100英里的速度从我们的鼻子喷出，喷出引起瘙痒的任何东西。打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为，如果我们不闭上眼睛，它们就会弹出来。)”可知，第一段主要介绍了打喷嚏的经历，故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“If you try it yourself, the possibilities are that your eyes are still where they belong. That’s because they are held firmly by the muscles in the eyes. (如果你自己试试，很可能你的眼睛还在它们该在的地方。那是因为它们被眼睛里的肌肉牢牢地抓住了。)”可知，人们打喷嚏时眼球不会突出来是因为它们牢牢地固定在眼睛里。故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Scientists, on the other hand, explain that we close our eyes for the same reason we sneeze ― to prevent unwanted things from entering our bodies. (另一方面，科学家解释说，我们闭上眼睛的原因和打喷嚏的原因一样——是为了防止不想要的东西进入我们的身体。)”可知，人们打喷嚏是为了防止不想要的东西进入我们的身体，由此可推知，人们打喷嚏是为了喷出不想要的东西。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“The high-pressure from a sneeze (喷嚏) has led some people to think that if we didn’t close our eyes, they could be pushed out.(打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为，如果我们不闭上眼睛，它们就会弹出来。)”和最后一段中“Either way, as far as we know, there are no actual recorded cases of anyone losing an eyeball because of a sneeze, so don’t lose any sleep over it!(不管怎样，据我们所知，没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球，所以不要因此而失眠！)”可知，打喷嚏产生的高压让一些人认为，如果我们不闭上眼睛，它们就会弹出来，文章用一些研究来表明没有任何实际的记录显示有人因为打喷嚏而失去了一个眼球，所以我们对此不用担心。结合选项“A. A research paper.(一篇研究论文)；B. A biology textbook.(生物教科书)；C. A guidebook.(一本旅游指南)；D. A magazine.(一本杂志)”可知，本文属于科普类知识，最有可能出现在杂志上，故选B。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了新加坡小贩文化的历史和重要性，以及它如何成为新加坡文化的代表之一。
【36题详解】
考查形容词。句意：到目前为止，新加坡在被称为小贩中心的地方外出就餐的传统已因其文化重要性而得到联合国的认可。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做定语表示属性，使用形容词，故填cultural。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：小贩是指通过在街上对路人大喊大叫来出售食物或商品的人。分析句子结构，这是一个包含定语从句的复合句，先行词为：person，因先行词在定语从句中做主语指人，使用关系代词that或who引导定语从句，故填who/that。
【38题详解】
考查冠词。句意：小贩是新加坡文化的一个特殊部分。分析句子结构，因空白处后面有名词，根据冠词的用法，名词前需使用不定冠词表示“一个”含义，因空白处后面名词的第一个发音音素为辅音，故填a。
【39题详解】
考查代词。句意：露天用餐区是小贩们出售商品的地方，在新加坡非常受欢迎。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作定语，使用形容词性物主代词，故填their。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意：周三，联合国文化机构联合国教科文组织将该市的“小贩文化”列入其人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。分析句子结构，on Wednesday为固定用法，表示“星期……”的含义的名词前需使用介词on，故填On。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：大约两年前，新加坡申请将小贩文化列入名单。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中做谓语，根据时间状语about two years ago可知句子表示的是过去发生的动作，谓语动词使用一般过去时，故填applied。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：报告必须具体说明这个城市国家为拯救和支持其小贩文化所采取的措施。take measures to do sth“采取措施做某事”，故填to save。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：联合国教科文组织表示：“这些中心是‘社区餐厅’，来自不同背景的人聚集在这里，分享早餐、午餐和晚餐时的聊天体验。分析句子结构，因空白处前面有介词of，可知空白处应填动名词，故填chatting。
【44题详解】
考查时态。句意：小贩的平均年龄为60岁。分析句子结构，空白处在句子中作谓语，因句子表示的是一个客观情况，谓语动词使用一般现在时，又因主语为单数，故填is。
【45题详解】
考查形容词的比较级。句意：他们对在小餐馆工作不太感兴趣。根据下文“working in small restaurants(在餐馆里工作)”可知此处要将在餐馆里工作和摆摊子工作进行对比，空白处使用形容词的比较级，故填less。

【详解】考查名词。第一空表示“体力”，用名词strength作动词短语“build up”的宾语，strength做“体力”讲为不可数名词；第二空表示“态度”，用名词attitude作动词“have”的宾语，attitude是可数名词，由空前的“a”可知此处用单数形式。故填①strength②attitude。
49. 这位老师很受尊敬，因为她平等对待每一位同学，而且能在每一次紧急情况中保持冷静。
