Passage 1
In almost every big university in the United States, football is a favorite sport. American football is different. Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or they can throw it. If they move the ball ten yards, they can try to move it another ten yards. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points.
It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the other team try to stop the man with the ball. If he does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team. Each university wants its own team to win. Many thousands of people come to watch. They all shout for their favorite team.
Young men and women come on the field to help the people shout more. They dance and jump while they shout. Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on TV.

Passage 2
In ancient time the most important examinations were spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted of saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
In the European universities of the Middle Ages, students who were working for advanced degrees had to discuss questions in their field of study with people who had made a special study of the subject. This custom exists today as part of the process of testing candidates for the doctor’s degree.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known until the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into existence with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry. A room full of candidates for a state examination, timed exactly by electric clocks and carefully watched over by managers, resembles a group of workers at an automobile factory. Certainly, during examinations teachers and students are expected to act like machines.
11. In the Middle Ages students ___________.
A. took objective tests B. specialized in one subject
C. never wrote exams D. were timed by electric clocks
12. The main idea of paragraph 3 is ___________.
A. workers now take examinations
B. the population has grown
C. there are only written exams today
D. examinations are now written and timed
13. The word “degree” in paragraph 2 means __________.
A. position in society B. academic title
C. unit of measurement D. step in process
14. Modern industry must have developed ___________.
A. before the Middle Ages B. around the 19th century
C. in Greece of Rome D. machines to take tests
15. It may be concluded that testing __________.
A. should test only opinions B. should always be written

第六部分：参考范文
Money is regarded by some people as the most important thing in life. It is even regarded as the symbol of wealth and social position. For example, with plenty of money a man can do whatever he wants. He can afford expensive cars and luxurious houses, and he can travel around the world and visit many interesting places. In their eyes, money is everything in life.
In my opinion, money is not everything. Money can both benefit people and do harm to them. On the one hand, we can't deny that money is useful. We need money to buy food or a house. Money can make us live more comfortably. For example, with more money, we can help others and take part in more social activities and receive a good education, thus increasing our knowledge and developing our skills. On the other hand, some people try to get money by dishonest means, for example, they often cheat and gamble, even rob and kill people. Sooner or later, they will be punished by the law. Money can bring them nothing but misery.
