For many people in the US, sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband’s favorite season. America’s devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people ---professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million-dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.
Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non-competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.
Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball giant Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.
21. We can infer from the first paragraph that the meaning of “widow” is_______.
A. one who is serious in religion B. one who is devoted to sports
C. one who lost her husband D. one who has interest in games
22. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. The US sports stars can earn a large sum of money via the media.
B. American students go in for various sports and athletic events.
C. Lots of American people take part in non-competitive activities.
D. American people like to exchange different sports from each other.
23. The writer mainly intends to tell us _______.
A. how important sports are in America B. where sports can help to make money

Of all the animals in the animal kingdom, which one (aside from man) is the cleverest?
There are several ways of measuring the intelligence of animals. In one test a scientist sets three same cans on a table. While the animal watches, he puts food under one of the cans. Then he leads the animal away. Some time later, he brings it back to see if it remembers which can has the food. No smelling is allowed; the animal must go directly to the correct can or it fails.
This is called a delayed- response text. The idea is to find out how long an animal’s memory can keep information. The scientists would try showing the cans to the animal one hour later, or two hours later, or even a full day later. They discovered that chimpanzees and elephants had the best memory, and were able to remember the correct can for at least twenty hours. No other animal is close. Dogs came next, but they only remembered for nine hours.
To settle the matter, the scientists designed a huge maze (迷宫) and ran the chimps and elephants through it. The maze was very difficult, with many blind paths and dead ends. It took the chimps (chimpanzees) ten minutes to find their way out. The elephants needed half an hour. Even allowing for the elephants’ slower rate of speed, the test shows that chimpanzees are the cleverest animals.
From this and other tests, the scientists drew the following conclusion: an animal’s intelligence depends on the size of its brain in proportion (比例) to the size of its body. The elephant’s brain weighs ten pounds. But this is only 1/600th of its 6,000 pounds body. A chimp’s brain weighs about one pound, or 1/120th of its total body weight. So in proportion to its body size, the chimp has four times as much brain as the elephant----more brain for less body. The chimp is the champ!
24. Which is the best title?
A. The Elephant’s Memory B. The Cleverest Animal
C. Judging Intelligence D. The Chimp’s Brain
25. According to the passage, a rhinoceros (犀牛) that weighs 2100 pounds, and has a 3-pound brain is________.
A. as clever as a chimp B. more clever than an elephant
C. less clever than an elephant D. as clever as an elephant
26. The delayed-response test is designed to test an animal’s________.
A. eyesight B. brain C. learning ability D. memory
27. The passage tells that elephants ________.
A. never forget things B. are more clever than chimps
C. are slower-moving than chimps D. have better memories than chimps
C
Trends come and go but style is eternal. So what is the latest fashion trend that defines this season? Let’s take a look at the fashion trend in 2016 and be the first ones to embrace the latest trend.
Head----It seems like everyone will be wearing a bucket hat this season. Bucket hat might sound a bit old-fashioned for some people, but the 90s trend is in season again! Spring and summer are always the seasons for casual clothes, so pairing the bucket hat with casual shorts or skirts would be your outfit to go in this spring and summer in 2016.
Bottom—Summer is the season when everyone gets ready for the humid weather. The current season trend is making everyone have a more comfortable summer because wide-leg bottoms is in

All these little details will transform your look in season. Simple colors like pink and black are designer’s favorites in this season too.
Shoes---Many people thought wedges are also the shoes to go in spring and summer time, but in 2016, very flat flats are in trend again. Shoe designers are trying to have more combinations flats or low-heels with less of gender identity.

Hollywood is on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Worried about an industry wide writers’ strike, struck by a series of theater-chain bankruptcies(破产), burdened with unreasonable corporate profit, requirements and seemingly incapable of producing consistently creative movies, the American film industry is in a period of soul-searching. There’s little doubt it will survive this crisis. But most insiders agree there is disease at both ends of the business—where films are produced, and where they’re shown---that may take years to overcome.
While annual box-office income increases for nine straight years, largely due to increased ticket prices, the number of actual tickets sold declined for the second year in a row. The construction boom has added nearly 10,000 theaters (more than 200,000 more seats) in the last five years. But due to a static(静止的)audience base, eight major chains have gone into bankruptcy and several others are in terrible financial situations.
In fact, insiders say, Hollywood is now in a business it does not want to be in. “There’s a general problem because the companies that have the most consistent output of material are least interested in what they’re making,” says former 20th Century Fox CEO, Bill. And, Bill adds, “We’re in a period where movies are getting bigger and more costly and less interesting and fulfilling to an audience.”
Today the studios are under the stress to increase profit margins(营业利润) for their corporate parents, and profit margins are hard to control in a business whose products are seen as impulse buys. Other business can increase profits by cutting costs—buying cheaper material, or making the candy bar smaller. Not Hollywood.
“What we’re cutting is risk,” says the head of one major studio, who asked not to be named, “And risk is what great film has always demanded.” While the studios are avoiding risky concepts, their competitors in the home entertainment business have been expanding the boundaries of the imagination. It was this pressure---in electronic games, the Internet----that forced the movie theater chains into a self-destructive craze of expansion.
32. Which is NOT the worry of the American film industry according to the passage?
A. Theater-chain bankruptcy. B. Lack of the advertisement funds.
C. The stress to increase corporate profit. D. Being unable to produce creative movies.
33. What has directly caused major theater-chains in terrible financial situations?
A. Bigger movies. B. More costly movies.
C. Increased ticket prices. D. More theaters but an unchangeable audience base.
34. What do we know about the profit of the film industry?
A. It’s not easy to control the profit.
B. The studios can shorten the material.
C. Cutting the cost can increase the profit.
D. The studios can buy cheap material to increase profits.
35. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Hollywood will survive financial crisis.
B. Hollywood is on the edge of destruction.
C. It’s hard to increase the profits of the studios.
D. The construction boom leads to theater-chain bankruptcies.
