BIt seems that the Englishmen just cannot live without sports of some kind. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown-ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men shall always remain boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it? Taking all amateur（业余）and professional sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the United States. The game originated（起源于）in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or “association football”, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century. The next is rugby, which is called “football” in the United States. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players than eleven. In rugby, an oval-shaped ball is used which can be handled as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game. In summer, cricket is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British. Tennis rates high on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to practically every country in the world. Table tennis, or “ping-pong”, surely is not played on a great scale as it is in China or Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse-back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.24. The main purpose of Paragraph l is to tell us that the English__________.A. are all sports lovers             B. behave like childrenC. like to kick a ball around         D. can remain young all their lives25. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true about football and rugby?A. They differ in the shape of the ball.  B. They are played by different numbers of players. C. They both can be handled.         D. They both can be kicked.26 The game that was never played in Britain until the late 19th century is__________.A. basketball      B. tennis     C. rugby          D. football27. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Most Popular Sports         B. The English SportsC. History of Sports          D. Sports in BritainCAfter the age of sixteen, the number of brain cells begins to decrease at a speed of several million a year. They simply die off. We know that in certain types of activity, the human brain is at its peak (高峰) in the early twenties, when it has collected enough information to be able to use the vast number of cells freely in the most effective way. Pure mathematics is one of the fields in which this happens, and we know that Albert Einstein made all his world-shaking discoveries between the age of about 20 and 25, and spent the rest of his life tidying them up and arranging them.But in certain other types of activity (of which being an author is perhaps one), experience is more important than sharpness of brain, and there one usually finds that a person reaches his or her peak much later in life.Besides sharpness of brain and experience, here is another thing that is very important, and that is wisdom. One can have a very quick, inventive brain and plenty of experience, but if one uses these foolishly, one harms both oneself and others. Wisdom does not always come with age — there are plenty of foolish middle-aged people about — but the average person tends to learn wisdom as he gets older, usually by making painful of embarrassing mistakes.Leaning to be wise is basically learning what is not possible; and what is possible but so difficult that it is not worth all the trouble one has to go through to get there. Mostly, it is learning about human nature; how real people behave and react, as against how one would like them to behave and react. One can read and hear lot of idealistic stuff (空想的东西) about how to make the world a better place, which would be found if it was based on an accurate (准确) observation of human nature, but which is basically a waste of time because it is not.28.According to the writer, the great discoveries made by Albert Einstein were mainly a result in __________.    A. years of hard work      B. sharpness of the brainC. rich experience     D. his deep understanding of the nature29.. Some people achieve success much later in life because _________.A. their work often requires much experience B. they do not have a chance to show their talentsC. they have to learn lessons from failuresD. they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work30. The writer came to believe that ________.A. it is always a waste of time to make plans about the futureB. it is human nature to make attempts on what looks impossibleC. one should always challenge the impossible to push the society forwardD. one has to use wisdom in deciding what is the best thing to do第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Did you make financial decisions last New Year’s Eve? Did they fall by the wayside? If so, you are not alone. 31.___________________.Make a smart budget Did you plan to make a budget and fail to do so? This is a perfect time to start, as you are heading into the new year. You may be able to stop yourself from overspending if you realize how overextended you are. If you’ve taken no other financial steps this year, start by setting a realistic budget. 32. ________________.Control your spending Even if you had a budget, were you able to stick to it? 33. ___________. Use it as a psychological advantage—you have less to spend so you need to shop harder for bargains and research prices. Impulse buying（即兴购买）will be less likely to attract you and your spending should be more focused as a result.34.______________.You had a savings goal, didn’t you? If you didn’t have a specific goal, it may be why your savings effort failed. Set a smaller savings goal now, and use that to build a larger savings goal for the upcoming year. Make sure that you equate（使等同）your savings with a specific goal.Reduce your debt Debt reduction is an important goal, especially in the case of high-interest debt such as credit cards. It’s easy to get into an unrecoverable increase of debt if you have no plan to keep debt in check. It is a longer-term goal, but one you need to start right away. 35. ____________. That may be a tall task, which is all the more reason to start immediately. Increase your savings Have a clear goal for your debt C. You will go on with your new decisions D. Most other financial improvements will follow E. Start small by setting a spending budget for your shopping F. But this year, you can make some progress on your financial goals G. Attack the debt with the highest interest rate, and control your spending 第三部分  语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Mondays are generally pretty busy for me.
