2、present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports. The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:This indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to

3、 be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is

4、 how the marathon testing takes place.Love Locked RaceThisis a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges. The person

5、to win would have to finish the race without losing his female partner in the course of overcoming the obstacles even for once. This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.Toe sportThis is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kin

6、d of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon

7、 had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.The Mud Pit Belly FlopThis is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck

8、Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your feet.1. Which sport requires couples to participate?A. The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse B. Love Locked RaceC. T

9、oe sport D. The Mud Pit Belly Flop 2. Which statement shows the popularity of the Toe Sport?A. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.B. The locals took this sport with great enjoyment.C. It has a World Toe Wrestling Competition.D. Even kids are fond of the sport. 3. What kind of people are like

10、ly to take part in the Ultimate Test between Man and Horse? A. People with agility and strengthB. People with companionsC. Marathon runners D. Horse ridersBThe evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, whi

11、ch is the opposite of the popularly held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past.” We were surprised by just how positive

12、 todays young people seen to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “Theyre expected to be rebellious(叛逆的) and selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. Theres mor

13、e negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They dont want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. “My par

14、ents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me,” says 17-years-old Daniel Lazall. “I always tell them when Im going out clubbing. As long as they know what Im doing, theyre fine with it.” Susan Crome, who is now 21,agrees.”Looking back on the last 10 years, there was a lot of w

15、hat you could call negotiation. For example, as long as Id done all my homework, I could go out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that.”Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenagers

16、rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parent

17、s really only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”4. The study shows that teenagers dont want to _A. share family responsibilityB. cause troubl

18、e in their familiesC. go boating with their familyD. make family decisions5. Compared with parents of 30 years ago, todays parents_.A. go to clubs more often with their childrenB. are much stricter with their childrenC. care less about their childrens lifeD. give their children more freedom6. Accord

19、ing to the author, teenage rebellion_.A. may be a false beliefB. is common nowadaysC. existed only in the 1960sD. resulted from changes in families7. Which title best gives the main idea of the passage?A. Discussion in family.B. Teenage education in family.C. Harmony in family.D. Teenage trouble in

20、family.CThe days of the hunter are almost over in India. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, mainly by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still survive.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I d

21、isagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first possessed no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in o

22、verpowering dangerous animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing, and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove them

23、selves and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.The greatest big-game

24、 hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives. One of them wrote.“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animals own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day. This is better than letting him g

25、row a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive, by other animals, Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing - not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand suc

26、h beliefs, and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail. But this is very different from many tiger-shoots I have seen, in which modern weapons were used. The so-called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephant

27、s. Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits.8. There is no more hunting in India now partly because_.A. it is dangerous to hunt thereB. hunting is already out of dateC. hunters want to protect animalsD. there are few animals left to hunt9. The author thinks modern hunters kill ma

28、inly_.A. to make the countryside safeB. to earn peoples admirationC. to gain power and influenceD. to improve their health10. What do we learn about the big-game hunters?A. They hunt old animalsB. They mistreat animalsC. They hunt for foodD. They hunt for money11. What is the authors view on the tig

29、er-shoots he has seen?A. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-faceB. Modern hunters should use more advanced weaponsC. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigersD. Modern hunters should put their safety firstDDiet Coke, diet Pepsi, diet pills, no-fat diet, vegetable diet We are

30、 surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere we look and listen. We have so easily been attracted by the promise and potential of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.Diet products si

31、gnificantly weaken us psychologically. On one level, we are not allowing our brain to admit that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fatty, high-calorie, unhealthy foods. Diet products allow us to jump over the thinking stage and go straig

32、ht for the scale(秤)instead. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.On another level, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves without our awareness that we dont have to work to get results

33、. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.The danger of diet products lies not only in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm that they cause. Diet foods can indirectly harm our bodies beca

34、use consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are preventing our bodies from having basic nutrients. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals th

35、at go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Now that we are aware of the effects that diet products have on us, it is time to seriously think about buying them. Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist

36、 diet products, and therefore prevent the psychological harm that comes from using them.12. From Paragraph 1, we learn that _.A. diet products fail to bring out peoples potentialB. people have difficulty in choosing diet productsC. diet products are misleading peopleD. people are fed up with diet pr

37、oducts13. One psychological effect of diet products is that people tend to _.A. try out a variety of diet foodsB. hesitate before they enjoy diet foodsC. pay attention to their own eating habitsD. watch their weight rather than their diet14. In Paragraph 3, “gain comes without pain” probably means _

38、.A. losing weight is effortlessB. it costs a lot to lose weightC. diet products bring no painD. diet products are free from calories15. Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such products _.A. are over-consumedB. lack basic nutrientsC. are short of chemicalsD. provide too much ener
