A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup put Argentinaon the map.
Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.
So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport？ Certainly not! Do the Argentinian really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others？ Not really, But it’s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best.
1. What is the author’s main purpose in the passage？（）
A. To explain the role of sport
B. To prove that football is the best sport in the world
C. To show that Argentina is better than all others
D. To prove that football is the world’s most important sport
2. In the second paragraph, the word “summit” means “（） ”.
A. award
B. summary
C. highest point
D. mountain top
3. According to the passage, Argentina is world-famous because of its （）.
A. obvious position on the map
B. successes in the football World Cup
C. excellence at most important sports
D. large number of sports fans and supporters
4. According to the passage, if a sportsman only thinks about winning, he will （）.
A. fail to succeed
B. lose enjoyment
C. be successful
D. be unreasonable
5. What is the author’s attitude towards international games？（）
A. Nations that meet on a football field are unlikely to meet on a battlefield
B. Nations that win the football World Cup are regarded as best in all aspects.
C. Nations that win in international games prove the best on the sports field at least.
D. Nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways.

Teaching children to read well from the start is the most important task of elementary schools. But relying on educators to approach this task correctly can be a great mistake. Many schools continue to employ instructional methods that have been proven ineffective. The staying power of the "look-say" or "whole-word" method of teaching beginning reading is perhaps the most flagrant example of this failure to instruct effectively.
The whole-word approach to reading stresses the meaning of words over the meaning of letters， thinking over decoding， developing a sight vocabulary of familiar words over developing the ability to unlock the pronunciation of unfamiliar words. It fits in with the self-directed，"learning how to learn" activities recommended by advocates of "open" classrooms and with the concept that children have to be developmentally ready to begin reading. Before 1963， no major publisher put out anything but these "Run-Spot-Run" readers.
However， in 1955， Rudolf Flesch touched off what has been called "the great debate" in beginning reading. In his best-seller Why Johnny Can"t Read， Flesch indicted the nation"s public schools for miseducating students by using the look-say method. He said——and more scholarly studies by Jeane Chall and Rovert Dykstra later confirmed——that another approach to beginning reading， founded on phonics， is far superior.
Systematic phonics first teaches children to associate letters and letter combinations with
sounds; it then teaches them how to blend these sounds together to make words. Rather than building up a relatively limited vocabulary of memorized words， it imparts a code by which the pronunciations of the vast majority of the most common words in the English language can be learned. Phonics does not devalue the importance of thinking about the meaning of words and sentences; it simply recognizes that decoding is the logical and necessary first step.
The author feels that counting on educators to teach reading correctly is_________. 查看材料
A. only logical and natural
B. the expected position
C. probably a mistake
D. merely effective instruction

Babies are almost totally【S3】______on others, and the responsibility of meeting their needs almost falls on parents and other family members. At least until the start of schooling, the family is responsible for teaching children cultural【S4】______and attitudes. Schooling【S5】______children's social world to include people with backgrounds that differ from their own. Formally, schooling teaches children a wide range of knowledge and skills.

Throughout life, most of our daily activities are performed in the company of others. Whether our purpose is working, playing, raising a family, learning, or simply relaxing, we usually pursue it in groups, even if the group is as small as two or three people. Out need for human contacts is not merely a practical one; it is a deep psychological need as well. If people are deprived of the company of others for prolonged periods, mental breakdown is the usual result. Even the Geneva Convention(日内瓦公约)，an international agreement that regulates the treatment of prisoners of war, recognizes this need. It regards solitary(孤独的) imprisonment for more than thirty day as a cruel form. of torture(折磨).
In its strictest sense, a group is a collection of people interacting together in an orderly way on the basis of shared expectations about one another&39;s behavior. As result of this interaction, members feel a common sense of “belonging.” They distinguish members from nonmembers and expect certain kinds of behavior. from outsiders.

Conventional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the subtle atmospheric changes that come before these storms.In most nations, for example, weather – balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at locations typically separated by hundreds of miles.With such limited data, conventional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large regions than they do forecasting specific local events.
Until recently, the observation intensive approach needed for accurate, very short – range forecasts, or “Nowcasts,” was not feasible.The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties involved in rapidly collecting and processing the raw weather data from such a network were hard to overcome.Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems.Radar systems, automated weather instruments, and satellites are all capable of making detailed, nearly continuous observation over large regions at a relatively low cost.Communications satellites can transmit data around the world cheaply and instantaneously, and modern computers can quickly compile and analyze this large volume of weather information.Meteorologists and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment capable of transforming raw weather data into words, symbols, and vivid graphic displays that forecasters can interpret easily and quickly.As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, Nowcasting is becoming a reality.
11.The word “exceeded” in paragraph I most probably means ____________.
A.added up toB.were more than
C.were about D.were less than
12.Conventional computer models of the atmosphere fails to predict such a short – lived tornado because ______________.
A.the computer is not used to forecast specific local events
B.the computers are not advanced enough to predict it
C.the weather data people collect are often wrong
D.weather conditions in some small regions are not available
13.According to the passage, the word “Nowcast” (paragraph 3) means _______________.
A.a way of collecting raw weather data
B.a forecast which can predict the weather conditions in the small area in an accurate way
C.a network to collect instant weather data
D.a more advanced system of weather observation
14.According to the passage, ___________ is the key factor to making “Nowcasts” a reality.
A.scientific and technological advances such as radar, or satellites
B.computer scientist
C.meteorologists
D.advanced computer programs
15.According to the author, the passage mainly deals with ________________.
A.a tornado in Edmonton, Alberta
B.what’s a “Nowcast”
