閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

　　There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer．Not all Canadians love hockey．A similar situation exists in America, where there are those individuals you may be one of them who frown when somebody mentions baseball．Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very little of anything happens．They tell you it's a game better suited to the 19 th century, slow, quiet, and gentlemanly．These are the same people you may be one of them who love football because there's the sport that values “the hit”．

　　By contrast, baseball seems abstract, cool, silent, still．

　　On TV the game is divided into a dozen perspectives, replays, close-ups．The geometry(幾何學(xué)) of the game, however, is essential to understanding it．You will view the game from one point as a painter does his subject; you may, of course, project yourself into the game．It is in this projection that the game affords so much space and time for involvement．The TV won't do it for you．

　　Take, for example, the third baseman．You sit behind the third base and you watch him watching home plate．His legs are apart, knees flexed(彎曲)．His arms hang loose．He does a lot of this．The skeptic(懷疑論者) still cannot think of any other sports so still, so passive．But watch what happens every time the pitcher throws：the third baseman goes up on his toes, flexes his arms or brings the glove to a point in front of him, takes a step right or left, backward or forward, perhaps he glances across the field to check his first baseman's position．Suppose the pitch is a ball．“Nothing happened,” you say．“I could have had my eyes closed．”

　　The skeptic and the innocent must play the game．And this involvement in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is．Watch the third baseman．Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot; smooth the pocket in your glove; watch the eyes of the batter, the speed of the bat, the sound of ball on wood．If football is a symphony of movement and theatre, baseball is chamber music, a spacious interlocking(連鎖) of notes, chorus(和聲) and responses．

(1)

[　　]

A．

the different tastes of people for sports

B．

the superiority of football

A．

B．

C．

baseball is more interesting than football

D．

baseball may seem boring when watched on TV

(4)

By stating “I could have had my eyes closed．” the author means (4 th paragraph last sentence) ________．

[　　]

A．

Even if the third baseman closed his eyes a moment ago, it could make no difference to the result

B．

The third baseman is so good at baseball that he could finish the game with eyes closed all the time and do his work well

C．

The consequence was so bad that he could not bear to see it

D．

The third baseman would rather sleep than play the game

    Dr Wiseman started “the laugh lab” project in September 2001. It is the largest study of humour. Participants are invited to log on  to the laugh lab website, give a few personal details , tell their favorite jokes and judge the jokes told by other people.

    The project will last for a year, and the organizers hope to finally discover the world’s funniest joke. But there is also a serious purpose, the researches want to know what people from different nations and cultures find funny. And they want to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor. The idea is that if we want to understand each other, we have to find out what makes us laugh.

This is a subject that has long interested psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, we tell the truth about ourselves.

By December 2001 over 10,000 jokes had been submitted(提交). This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humor, for instance.

“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which males and females use humor,” said Dr Wiseman. “Males use humor to appear superior(優(yōu)越的) to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play.”

Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humor. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet humor”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “You’re a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. What’s the second question?”

The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humor. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted jokes funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I don’t know, but let’s say yes, just to be safe.

Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.

1.Scientist started “the laugh lab” project ____________

   A．to find the funniest joke in European countries

   B．to know what funny people are from different nations and cultures

   C．to find out the differences between the male and female sense of humor

   D．to get more personal details about participants

2.What is the main idea of the 4 th and 5 th paragraph?

    A．Man and woman have different senses of humour.

    B．Male and female have similar senses of humour.

    C．About 10,000 jokes have been submitted from September 2001 to December 2001.

    D．Scientists have collected enough evidence to make conclusions.

3.The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans        .

    A．to show that French people have a better sense of humour

    B．to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humour”

    C．to show people from different nations have different senses of humour

    D．to prove that the Germans have no sense of humour

4.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

   A．The jokes by computer are less funny than those by humans

   B．The Germans cannot find the submitted jokes amusing

   C．Males are better at word play compared with women

   D．Females like to use humor to show that they are superior

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源： 題型：閱讀理解

For my grandmother's 70th birthday, my family and I visited South Korea. While there, I was attentive to Korean high schools and students.

I was surprised by how different Korea's public high schools are from America's. Korean high schools can be all-girls, all-boys or co-ed (男女同校的）unlike our standard co-ed high schools. There are three grades: “go 1（10th) ”， “go 2” (1l th) and “go 3” (12th). “Go”is the first syllable of the word “go-deung –hakkyo”, which, simply translated, is “high school”.

In America, unless you want to go to a private school, you don't have to take an entrance exam. In Korea, however, students must take a test to get in because of the many choices of schools.

Another difference I couldn't help but notice was the students' appearance. With very few exceptions, all wear uniforms. A name tag (標(biāo)牌)with the student's name, grade and homeroom number must also be worn. Girl's skirts can't be above the upper part of the knee, and it is forbidden to dye (染)your hair or wear accessories (裝飾品)except small earrings. There are strict regulations for appearance to achieve neatness, and it seems the only freedom students have is with their choices of hair style, socks and shoes.

The final difference was the setup of the classes. There may be 40 students in a classroom, but the number can be less or even more, depending on the population of the town or city. Although there are many students per classroom, they are very close, which I think is a result of not changing classrooms for different subjects. There are no levels in the subjects and the teachers are the ones who switch classrooms. They just have ten-minute breaks between subjects. In each class, students are ranked by their grades. This causes strict competition, and Korean students do a lot of studying. To help them, all schools have extra study classes after school. One other fact that helped me appreciate living in America is that Koreans have school on Saturdays. Although it's only a half day, I think I speak for most Americans when I say we could never imagine ourselves in school on a Saturday.

Korea's public high schools are clearly different from America's. I had imagined them to be just like our schools, but now I have a clear picture of how different they are.

59. How many main differences are mentioned between Korea's public high school and America’s?

A. 3.                               B. 4.                   C. 5.                   D. 6.

60. It seems that the writer  _______ .

A. is familiar with the education system of high schools in Korea

B. is fond of Korean students' appearance

C. prefers the high school life of America to the one of Korea

D. feels it common to have lessons on weekends

61. What does the underlined word "setup" in paragraph 5 probably mean?

A. Arrangement.        B. Size.               C. Number.         D. Outline.

62. According to the rules, the students of Korea can _______  .

A. go to different high schools without exams  B. wear any clothes except uniforms at school

C. attend different classes as they like               D. have different hair styles
