Since youve been away, has this country changed for the better-or for the worse?If youve just arrived back in the UK after a fortnights holiday, small changes have probably

28、surprised you-anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobile-phone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us

29、have hardly noticed-or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my hometown, was a town of white, middle-class families-all very conservative (保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come h

30、ere mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.Having been an immigrant (移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, Id think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have imp

31、roved this country because theyre more open-minded and often work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked.

35、in in Future. D. Britain in Memory.BOne of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of the Engl

36、ish language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文) showing how it was used. This was a huge task. So Murray had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States, and the British colonies to search e

37、very newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England. He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,” 50 miles from Oxf

38、ord. Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the next years, he became one of the staffs most valued contributors. But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel t

39、o Crowthorne himself. When he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the Criminally insane. Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years. Murr

40、ay continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the asylum grounds. In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the port to wave goodbye to his remarkable friend. Minor died in 1920, seven years before the first edition of the Oxford

41、 English Dictionary was completed. The 12 volumes defined 414,825 words, and thousands of them were contributions from a very scholarly and devoted asylum patient. 64. According to the text, the first Oxford English Dictionary _. A. came out before minor died B. was edited by an American volunteer C

42、. included the English words invented by MurrayD. was intended to be the most ambitious English dictionary65. How did Dr. Minor contribute to the dictionary?A. He helped Murray to find hundreds of volunteers. B. He sent newspapers, magazines and books to Murray.C. He provided a great number of words

43、 and quotationsD. he went to England to work with Murray. 66. Prof. Murray and Dr. Minor became friends mainly because _.A. they both served in the Civil War. B. They had a common interest in wordsC. Minor recovered with the help of MurrayD. Murray went to America regularly to visit Minor67. What do

44、es the text mainly talk about?A. The history of the English language.B. The friendship between Murray and Minor C. Minor and the first Oxford English DictionaryD. Broadmoor Asylum and its patients CThe New York Times states that cheerleading is the fastest growing girls sport, yet more than half of

45、Americans do not believe it is a sport. In addition, they fail to distinguish between sideline cheerleaders and professional ones. Sideline cheerleaders main goal is to entertain the crowd and lead them with team cheers, which should not be considered a sport. On the other hand, professional cheerle

46、aders aim to compete. Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activity. Like gymnasts, cheerleaders must learn to tumble. They perform standing back flips, round flip flops, and full layout twists. Cheerleaders also perform lifts and tosses. This is where the “fliers” are thrown in the ai

47、r, held by “bases” in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates. Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play, so does competitive cheerleading. The whole routine has to be completed in less than three minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerl

48、eaders are required to stay within a certain area. Competitive cheerleaders goal is to be the best. Just like gymnasts, they are awarded points for difficulty, technique, creativity and sharpness. The more difficult a mount or a stunt, the sharper and more in-sync the motions, the better the score.

49、Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation and synchronization (同步性), first place is out of reach. So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport? It cannot be because cheerleaders do not use balls or manipulate objects (if you do not count megaphones, pompoms and signs as objec

50、ts). Wrestling, swimming, diving, track, cross-country, gymnastics, ice-skating and boxing are recognized sports that do not use balls. Some people argue that cheerleaders are just “flirts in skirts” with their only job to entertain the crowd, but cheerleaders today compete against other squads and

51、work just as hard as other athletes. Competitive cheerleading is a sport. It is a physical activity that is governed by rules under which a winner can be declared and its primary purpose is to compare the skills of participants. Hopefully, cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football a

52、nd basketball, and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.68. Whats the most important for cheerleaders to win a championship? A. They need to perform as gymnasts do. B. They have to entertain the crowd a l

53、ot. C. They should be energetic in the competition. D. They must understand how to work well together.69. What does the underlined word “sideline” mean in the first paragraph？ A. bB. off-lineC. amateurD. exciting70. The writers attitude towards treating cheerleading as a sport is _. A. negativeB. su

54、pportiveC. neutralD. disappointing DReading with Rover is a reading program where children read to dogs. In addition to Reading with Rover, which is based on Washington state, there are many such reading programs around the country. The goal of all these programs is to improve the reading skills of

55、children with reading problems by having children read to dogs.When reading aloud in the classroom, many children with reading problems and poor reading skills feel frightened. They have little confidence in themselves and are afraid of being laughed at. They may also feel that reading is difficult,

56、 boring and stressful. However, when children read to dogs, reading becomes a fun and non-stressful experience for both the children and the dogs. Dogs dont criticize, judge or laugh at the childrens reading ability.Reading with Rover and other programs like it have been a huge success, resulting in

57、 improved reading skills for a significant number of participating children with reading problems. In addition to making learning enjoyable, when children read to dogs, it increases their sense of worth and self-confidence.As part of the Reading with Rover program, the children read to dogs that are

58、 registered therapy dogs. These are dogs that have been trained and tested. Along with their owners, these dogs have become registered therapy teams.A recent research study was conducted by the University of California, which concluded that when children read to dogs, it can increase their reading s

59、kills by thirty percent.Children who took part in this study remarked, “ I feel relaxed when I am reading to a dog because I am having fun.” “ The dogs dont care if you read really badly so you just keep going.”When children read to dogs and improve their reading skills, it becomes just another exam
