(A)

A Whole new ball game

Last week, millions of Chinese viewers turned into CCTV 5 to watch two teams of men in colourful clothing chase a ball around a field.

But the New England Patriots (愛(ài)國(guó)者隊(duì)) and Carolina Panthers (黑豹隊(duì)) were not playing soccer--they were competing for American football's greatest prize, the Super Bowl.                        

The first recorded game of American football was played between a Canadian and an American university more than 100 years ago, using a mixture of soccer and rugby (英式橄欖球) rules. The Super Bowl itself was first contested in 1967, but 2004 was the first time the game reached Chinese TV screens.                          

In American football, teams score points by carrying a leather ball into the other team's goal area, known as the end zone. When a team carries the ball into the other side's end zone, this is called a touchdown (達(dá)陣).                         

Players on one team can throw the ball forward to each other or pass it from hand to hand to move up the field, while the other team tries to stop them. Players are allowed to tackle (絆倒) each other to stop the ball from moving. Sometimes this is quite physical so padding (襯墊) and helmets are worn to prevent injury. A touchdown is worth six points, and a further point can be won by kicking the ball between two upright posts. Teams can also kick a field goal (射門(mén)得分) during the game for three points. A game is made up of four quarters (節(jié)) each lasting 15 minutes.

American football is very popular because it exhibits a number of athletic skills, such as running, jumping, catching, throwing and kicking. There is also hitting and tackling, which can appear violent sometimes!                         

The best-known league in the United States is the National Football League (NFL), which is made up of 30 teams, and the Super Bowl is its championship game. One of the most famous players is New England star Tom Brady, who was named the Most Valuable Player as his team won the Super Bowl last week. Brady plays in the quarterback (四分衛(wèi)) position, and is the player responsible for throwing the ball to his teammates.

Now the Super Bowl has arrived in China, maybe the game will become just as popular as basketball or soccer!                         o

46. What is the Super Bowl? It is _____.

A. a famous American football award        B. the American football league

C. best-known game in American football    D. a rugby contest

47. What is the highest score a team may get in American football?

A. 10 points.               B. 40 points.                          

C. Less than 40 points.     D. More than 40 points.                        

48. Which of the following can replace the word “violent” at the end of Paragraph 6? m                          

A. Exciting.   B. Bloody.    C. Physical.   D. Unpleasant.

第三部分:閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿(mǎn)分40分)

Machines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申請(qǐng)專(zhuān)利）his machine, to stop anyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.

    In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked very well, however, it wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercially successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.

     Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋轉(zhuǎn)桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.

     It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was quicker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner（吸塵器）with an electric motor to suck the dust.

1. Whose sewing machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women?

   A. Thomas Saint’s.                                          B. Bartelemy Thimonier’s.

   C. Elias Howe’s.                                                        D. Isaac Singer’s.   [來(lái)源:學(xué)+科+網(wǎng)]

2. According to the article, modern inventors __________ .

   A. follow the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it much

   B. only imitate the first washing machine

   C. power the first ever-made washing machine by electricity

   D. have to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time

3. The underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by today’s standards”

probably means __________ .  

   A. useless       B. ugly-looking     C. rough       D. not skillfully made

4 The article mainly tells us about __________ .

   A. the great inventors in the world

   B. the important inventions in the world

   C. the short history of household machines

   D. the importance of the machines used in the home
