Sports in America take various forms: organized competitive struggles, athletic games, hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.‎ Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.‎ Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It’s not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players as well on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country.‎ Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US and many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. And the famous NBA games are considered the best of this game.‎ Other sports attracting a great many people include wrestling, boxing and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the exactness of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do not come primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling(赌博) is the attraction of horse racing.‎ ‎36.

The underlined word “jockeys” in the last paragraph refers to______.‎ A. the person who bets upon the race B. the person who cares about horse-racing C. the rider who enjoys watching the race D. the rider who competes in horse-racing B Although my stable job at a large company had made my parents happy, I knew I wanted something different. The only workplace I could imagine was Facebook. So, I flew from New York to San Francisco and showed up at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, determined to find a way to at least meet people.‎ A friend who worked there had agreed to introduce me to a few people around the office. But on our way back from a coffee break, I got nervous. I paced around outside the Facebook building by myself, trying to focus. I reminded myself, “You have already flown across the country. Now you just need to go for it.”‎ A little calmer and a lot more excited, I sat in the lobby of the building for hours. Each time the elevator doors opened, I looked up, hoping to see someone who wanted to speak with me. Finally, at the very end of the day, the director of PR walked out and introduced herself. Our conversation went on for an hour. Eventually, a few more people joined in. I left the Facebook ‎ office and was even more excited.‎ A few days later, the woman I had spoken with called me,“We can’ t hire you. We didn’t interview you. We don’t have a job available for you. But if you’re interested in a part-time job, we can give you some help.”‎ This wasn’t exactly what I’d been yearning for. But I knew that I was passionate about the work and the company, so I flew to San Francisco once again.‎ A few months later I was offered a full-time job.‎ And after nearly 12 unforgettable years, I’m still here. If I hadn’t made it through my nervousness years ago I would never have gotten these chances. Now, whenever I’m anxious about taking a risk, I remember the day when I was waiting in the lobby of Facebook and I remind myself to lean in, try something new, pursue a long shot, and put myself out there.‎ ‎41.

He said, “We know that 20 percent of Australians fall asleep when driving. When you’re tired, it doesn’t take much to start nodding off and the gentle vibrations made by car seats can relax your brain and body. In 15 minutes of getting in the car, drowsiness (睡意) has already begun to take hold. In 30 minutes, it’s making an impact on your ability to stay concentrated. To improve road safety, future car seat designs can include features that stop this effect and fight vibration-induced sleepiness.”‎ Led by Professor Robinson, the team tested 15 volunteers in a virtual simulator (虚拟模拟器) that imitates the experience of driving. The simulator was set up on a platform that could be vibrated on different frequencies. The volunteers were tested twice — once with vibrations at low frequencies and once with no vibration. The tiredness produced by vibration makes it harder to perform mental tasks, so the body’s nervous system is activated to adjust, leading to changes in the heartbeat. By looking at the volunteers’ heart rate changes, researchers were able to gain a measure of how tired they were feeling in the 60-minute test. Within 15 minutes of starting the vibrating test, volunteers were showing signs of tiredness. Within 30 minutes, the drowsiness was significant. The tiredness increased progressively over the test, peaking at 60 minutes.‎ Robinson said,“We want to study further, particularly to investigate how age may affect someone’s vibration-induced tiredness and the impact of health problems such as sleep apnea (窒息). Our research also suggests that vibrations at some frequencies may help keep people awake. So we also want to examine a wider range of frequencies, and inform manufacturers of how to use those‘good vibrations’.”‎ ‎46. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?‎ A.To present the background of the research.‎ B. To share the new findings of the research.‎ C. To tell drivers the dangers of driving when tired.‎ D. To show the importance of creating new car seats.‎ ‎47. What is Professor Robinson’s research?‎ A. Various reasons for road crashes.‎ B. How to improve car seat designs.‎ C. How physical vibration affects drivers.‎ D. Ways to keep drivers on the wheel awake.‎ ‎48.The team tested the volunteers by_______.‎ A. changing different simulators B. measuring the volunteers’ heartbeats C. improving the volunteers’ driving habits D. calculating the miles the volunteers drive ‎49. According to the test, a driver starts to feel tired in_______.‎ A. 15 minutes B. 20 minutes C. 30 minutes D. 60 minutes ‎50. What do we know from Robinson’s words in the last paragraph?‎ A. Vibrations also have some good aspects.‎ B. It’s important for drivers to have a good sleep.‎ C. There are still some shortcomings in the research.‎ D. The research has caught the attention of manufacturers.‎ 第三部分：写作 第一节：高级句型（每小题5分，共4小题，满分20分）‎ 51.

The trip from Lagos, the largest city, to Idanre, a pretty town in the south, takes eight hours. It should take less time, but the roads are rocky with big holes. Those who have made the trip say it is worth it just for a selfie(自拍)in front of the Idanre hills, one of the most beautiful parts of Nigeria. It is even better to get a picture with Chiamaka Obuekwe.‎ ‎ Chiamaka started a popular travel agency. Many young people in Lagos use it. Chiamaka never planned on running a company. She liked to post pictures of her own trips on her blog and Instagram(照片墙)account. Her followers started to ask if they could come along on her adventures. Chiamaka’s Instagram page has more than 40,000 followers.“This is the Instagram age,” Chiamaka said.“If you didn't t take a picture, it is like it never happened.” The Internet has helped Nigerians to discover their own country. It is about more than collecting “likes”, even though that can be fun, too.‎ ‎ Nigeria makes most of its money from the oil and gas industry. Tourism is not a big business there. Even locals do not travel around the country very much. The hotels are run down. Roads need to be fixed. Some areas have been destroyed by wars and many of the beaches are polluted by oil. Yet, Nigeria has real hidden treasures. “Obudu Mountains are very beautiful and exciting,” said Lola Daniyan, who also started an online travel agency.‎ ‎ Daniyan decided to start her business when she was on vacation in London, England. She saw many people outside of Buckingham Palace, the home of the queen. “I thought, ‘Why don’t people come to see our royal palaces? We have so many but people don’t know about them,’” she said. She realized that Nigerians had much to learn about their own country. She says that traveling helps you to understand people. It is good to see how other people live. It is a good way to learn that everyone is important.‎ ‎55. Why does it take 8 hours to travel from Lagos to Idanre? (no more than 10 words)‎ ‎ _________________________________________________________________________‎ ‎56. What positive influence does Chiamaka’s Instagram page have on other people?
