Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.
The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.
Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim- ilar to soccer.
Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.
26. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
[A] Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article.
[ B ] More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years.
[ C] Soccer is the fastest developing sport in the world.
[ D ] The article was written before the world cup held in the United States.
27. Which was the most popular sport as a traditional game among students?
[ A ] Basketball.
[ B ] American football.
[C] Soccer.
[D] Tennis.
28. For how long has soccer been played in the United States?
[ A] About a hundred years.
[ B ] About fifty years.
[ C ] Only recently.
[ D ] About thirty years.
29. Who invented the modem soccer game?
[ A ] American Indians.
[ B ] British.
[c] Geeks
[D] Romans.
30. What is the author going to state in the next paragraph?
[A] There have been attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S..
[ B ] In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns.
[C] Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe.
[D] Experts believed that the United States would win.

參考譯文
美國準(zhǔn)備著迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他們有史以來第一次承辦了世界杯。當(dāng)全世界有數(shù)以百萬計的人在踢足球時，這項運(yùn)動在關(guān)國才剛剛火熱起來。大批美國青年人對足球感興趣還是最近30年的事。但現(xiàn)在它是美國發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動。一項最近的調(diào)查顯示大約有一千八百萬的美國青年男女踢足球。
這項調(diào)查同樣表明，足球已經(jīng)開始代替更多的傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動，比如橄欖球，成為學(xué)生當(dāng)中最流行的運(yùn)動。因此，世界杯下周開賽時預(yù)計去看球的`美國人超過一百萬。主辦方聲稱這一屆的世界杯會成為歷史上最盛大的一屆。52場比賽中大部分場次的座位已全部售完。
足球在美國僅僅有一百多年的歷史，但這項運(yùn)動是怎樣流傳到這個國家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?沒有人確切地知道足球是從哪里起源或是人們從什么時候開始踢足球。某些科學(xué)家表示，有證據(jù)證明用腳玩的球類運(yùn)動幾千年前就有了�，F(xiàn)在也有證據(jù)顯示古希臘、古羅馬和美國土著印第安人玩類似于足球的運(yùn)動。
大部分專家都承認(rèn)英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)源地，他們同樣也認(rèn)為英國把足球傳播到了世界各地。不同的是，現(xiàn)在比賽中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革質(zhì)地，而過去使用的球常常是用動物的胃做的。早期足球比賽的規(guī)則也與現(xiàn)在有所不同。
答案及解析
26.c【解析】是非題。見文中第一段第五旬提到，足球在美國是發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動，但沒有說在世界范圍內(nèi)是發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動。故選C。
27.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見第二段第一句，“…soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年中最為流行的傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動。故選B。
28.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見第三段第一句話。
29.B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見最后一段第一句，英國是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明者。
30.B【精析】推理題。文中最后一段講述了英國足球是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明國，接下來就應(yīng)該介紹一下足球在英國的發(fā)展才符合邏輯。故選B。

"We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it. " Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty million jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have fifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts, administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become "computer-literate". By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print-illiterate today.
What is "computer literacy"? The term itself seems to imply some degree of "knowing" about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge, of what computers are, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate.
Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine (內(nèi)燃機(jī)) works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work.
Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how to .repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work?
Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is.
"Knowing how to use a computer is what s going to be important. We don t talk about automobile literacy. We just get in our cars and drive them. "
31. In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to
A. 79 million B. 100 million C. 30 million D. 70 million
32. The underlined part "print-illiterate" in the text refers to
A. one who has never learnt printing
B. one who has never learnt to read
C. one who is not a computer literate
D. one who is not able to use a typewriter
33. What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A. Recent predictions of computer-related jobs.
B. The wide of computers in schools.
C. The urgency of computers education.
D. Public interest in computers.
34. According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers is to teach
A. how to use computers
B. what computers use
C. where computers can be used
D. how computers work
35. From the text, we can infer that
A. computers will be easy to operate
B. automobile will be move comfortable
C. illiteracy rate will be down

參考譯文
“我們不是即將進(jìn)入信息時代，而是置身其中感覺良好。”目前的預(yù)測是，到l990年，在美國大約3000萬的工作或大約30%的工作市場將和電腦相關(guān)。l980年，所有美國高中只有21%的學(xué)校擁有一臺或兩臺.供學(xué)生用的電腦。而在1985年秋季，一項新的研究表明，美國一半的中等學(xué)校擁有十五臺或更多的供學(xué)生用的電腦�，F(xiàn)在教育專家、行政人員、甚至普通大眾正要求所有學(xué)生會使用電腦。到2000年電腦知識將在超過80%的職業(yè)中成為必然要求。很快那些不會使用電腦的人將會被比作今日的“文盲”。
“電腦讀寫能力”是什么?這個術(shù)語本身暗示某種程度上與電腦有關(guān)，但是知道什么呢?時下的觀點(diǎn)好像是，它應(yīng)該包括對電腦是什么有個大概的了解，另外知道一些電腦的.歷史以及知道電腦運(yùn)行方面的一些知識。
因此，每個地方的教育者不僅要留心觀察正在做的事情，而且要注意在電腦教育領(lǐng)域什么應(yīng)該做。如今，大部分成年人在幾乎渾然不知內(nèi)燃機(jī)如何運(yùn)作的情況下能夠駕駛一輛摩托車。在無法講出它們的歷史
或解釋它們怎樣工作的情況下，我們也能夠有效地使用各種電器設(shè)備。
生意人已經(jīng)充分利用打字機(jī)和加法機(jī)很多年了，但幾乎沒人知道怎樣維修它們。那么為什么教電腦要通過教它們內(nèi)部構(gòu)造以及為什么工作呢?
更確切地說，首先我們必須把注意力放在教授電腦的有效使用上，正如工具一般。
“知道怎樣使用電腦將會變得重要。我們不是在討論‘汽車讀寫能力：我們只需上車駕駛便是�！�
答案及解析
31.D【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)“…present predictions are that by 1990，about tliny million jobs in the United States，or about thirty percent of the job market，will be computer-related”(據(jù)1990年的預(yù)測，美國的三千萬份工作，約占所有工作的30%，會和電腦相關(guān))。所以此題選擇D。
32.D【解析】事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)“Soon those people not educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print—illiterate today”可知不懂電腦的人將會比作今日的“打字文盲”，所以此題選擇D。
33.C【解析】主旨大意題。閱讀第一段可知信息時代電腦必不可少，不懂電腦相當(dāng)于“文盲”，從而呼吁加強(qiáng)電腦教育。所以此題選擇C。
34.A【解析】推理判斷題。第三、四段中以現(xiàn)代人會騎摩托車和生意人學(xué)用打印機(jī)為例，告訴了我們學(xué)習(xí)電腦的最有效方法就是學(xué)會如何使用電腦，所以此題選擇A。
35.A【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)“Knowing how to use a computer is whats going to be important.We dont talk about automobile literacy.We iust get in our cars and drive them”(知道如何使用電腦是很重要的…就像我們坐在車?yán)镩_車一樣)，由此可知學(xué)會操作電腦也不是很難的，所以此題選擇A。
