21、   The Professional Footballers’ Association will help to fund the initiative that will lead to the FA appointing up to 28 black, Asian and ethnic minority coaches to work with all England teams next season, including Gareth Southgate’s senior squad (小队).

The Times revealed details of the joint FA and PFA scheme yesterday, which could be finalised as soon as next week. Martin Glenn, the FA chief executive, is due to meet his counterpart at the PFA, Gordon Taylor, at Wembley before England’s friendly international against Italy next Tuesday. Chris Powell, the Southend United manager, has been identified as a potential addition to Southgate’s back-room staff after the World Cup, which would be welcomed by the England manager.

The FA has already held initial talks with several other coaches, including Jason Euell, Charlton Athletic’s under 23 coach, about taking on a role in the national coaching set-up at St George’s Park. The former Jamaica international has previously questioned the merit of the so-called Rooney Rule, which the FA implemented (执行) in January with a commitment to interview a BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) candidate for every coaching position. But Euell believes that the governing body’s decision to offer 28 positions is a more practical way to bring about change.

The FA has begun offering opportunities to BAME coaches, with the former Everton striker Danny Cadamarteri, who is currently a youth coach with Burnley, working with England’s under-18 squad this week. It will extend the programme after it has been approved by the FA Board. The PFA has been instrumental in developing the proposals through the work of their sponsors Brendon Batson, Garth Crooks and Paul Elliott, and have promised to provide funds to make it a success.

“This is integral (完整的) to the modernization of the FA,” Taylor told The Times. “If it’s implemented correctly, with meaningful roles, it will show the FA really means football is for all.”

However, Crooks added that it was a “monumental error of judgment” by Southgate not to take a black coach to Russia for the World Cup finals to support England’s black players in the event of racial abuse from fans.

The FA’s plans received a cautious welcome from many in the game, with the former England defender Viv Anderson saying that coaches from BAME backgrounds have been hindered (阻碍) by a lack of access. The 61-year-old was the first black player to represent England in 1978 and went on to manage Barnsley before joining Middlesbrough as an assistant coach.

“There are only a handful of black managers so there’s clearly a problem,” Anderson said. “If you go up and down the country there are black and ethnic minority players in every squad, but very few go on to become coaches, which is down to a lack of opportunity and access. There are still a lot of negative perceptions about black managers and coaches, which are totally false.” At least the FA is trying to do something, and it could make a difference.

【1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.PFA has funded FA in the World Cup.

B.FA and PFA will work together to diversify the coach team.

C.PFA will take on black coaches for England teams.

D.FA has interviewed 28 BAME candidates for coaching positions.

【2】We can infer that Jason Euell is   .

A.working in the national coaching set-up

B.in favor of the joint FA and PFA scheme

C.likely to be one of the Southgate’s back-room staff

D.sceptical about FA’s promise to interview BAME candidates

【3】Why are many people cautious about the FA’s plans?

A.BAME coaches lack chances and access to England teams.

B.The FA Board hasn’t approved the plan for lack of sponsors.

C.Older coaches don’t possess qualifications for national coaches.

D.There are not enough BAME players to represent England teams.

【4】The author holds the view that   .

A.there are still negative perceptions about black managers and coaches

B.black managers and coaches are superior in managing football teams

C.advantages in taking on black coaches outweigh disadvantages

D.attempts are being made to show the FA means football for all

22、In France, a lot of energy goes into one’s personal appearance. Clothing is a big part of Parisian culture; after all, this is one of the world fashion capitals.

Parisians like simple, classic pieces that are timeless. Must-have pieces such as a good pair of jeans, a trench coat, and basic knitwear are always good to have on hand. Parisians don’t really like clothing to be colorful or ostentatious, especially not something to be worn for an ordinary day out. Black, white and different shades of beige are common sightings around Paris’ streets.

Classic goes for shoes, too. A quality pair of leather boots, loafers (休闲鞋) or heels can be paired with anything, provided they are in a shade of black or brown. Comfort is key, since most Parisians do a lot of walking. However, you’ll rarely notice Parisians wearing open-toed shoes. Younger generation Parisians are becoming part of sports shoes culture, though it is unlikely to see an elder Parisian wearing any form of them in public.

Speaking of berets (贝雷帽), a decent beret is an important item for most Parisians. It would be far too general to say that all Parisians are fond of the beret, but the vast majority can appreciate their place in fashion history. They also love having a way of covering their hair when unexpected wind or rain happens in the city of light!

Parisians are not about logos (商标). Contrary to Italians, Parisians prefer not to see any kind of printed logo on clothing, handbags or shoes, unless it is extremely small and subtle. Hoodies with an oversized logo printed down the front is a no-no. Something to keep in mind is that just because Parisians are not into logos, this does not mean they are not into name brands (名牌). On the contrary, the French love luxury fashion and name branded clothing. Parisians know their brands, and they don’t need logos to tell them when something is of a particular fashion house, or when something is real or fake.

【1】What does the underlined word “ostentatious” mean in the second paragraph?

A．Simple in design.

B．Of an old style.

C．Enhancing creativity.

D．Attracting attention.

【2】What will an elder Parisian probably wear in public?

A．White boots.

B．Black loafers.

C．Open-toed shoes.

D．Comfortable sports shoes.

【3】How do Parisians like the beret?

A．Most of them like to have one.

B．They think it too old-fashioned.

C．They think it goes well with long hair.

D．Most of them wear it for an ordinary day out.

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Parisians don’t like name brands.

B．Parisians aren’t into oversized logos.

C．Parisians don’t care about what is in fashion.

D．Parisians prefer not to see any logo on clothing.

23、   Integrity is the quality of being honest and strong about what you believe to be right. The concept of integrity has played a key role in moral philosophy throughout history and is promoted in all societies because of its importance to social relations. Individual integrity is vital to society, one that enables people to make use of their capacity for critical reflection, does not force people to take up particular roles and does not encourage individuals to betray each other. Besides, societies can be favorable to the development of individual integrity.

Individual integrity can lift up the spirits of the entire society. It can shape the lives of people living in a particular society, the lives of all fellow people and, in its broadest sense, even the destiny of a nation. By contrast, if those living in the society are dishonest, it could have bad effects, jeopardizing the healthy morality of the society.

Additionally, a society can be favorable to the development of individual integrity. Society expects and requires integrity. A society consisting of people of integrity, and people who never compromise on their principles, could have a positive mark on the personal development of its members. Being a part of such a morally lively community could serve as a basis for absorbing traits of good character. This could be of a distinct advantage to any individuals in the society.

However, some social structures are of the wrong sort for some individuals to pursue integrity. If that is the case, we have to ask questions about the moral nature of society first before raising questions about individual integrity. Questions about integrity may turn out to be about what kind of society it is, rather than about the relationship between individual interests and characteristics of a society. The pursuit of adequate individual integrity often depends, not so much on understanding who one is and what one believes and is committed to, but rather understanding what one’s society is and imagining what it could be.

Under no circumstances can we underestimate the importance of human integrity in a society. People, who are honest, trustworthy, compassionate and caring, are the factors decisive in the growth of individuals as well as the development of a society.

【1】Individual integrity has been valued in society because ________.

A．it helps develop philosophy

B．it is important to social relations

C．it is the basis of critical thinking

D．it ensures people’s particular roles

【2】The underlined word “jeopardizing” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A．assessing

B．strengthening

C．destroying

D．influencing

【3】The writer believes that ________.

A．individual integrity depends on what one believes

B．the nature of society is decided by economic development

C．the pursuit of individual integrity changes with time

D．social structures guide the formation of individual integrity

【4】Which of the following shows the development of ideas in this passage?

CP: Central point    P: Point    Sp: Sub-point    C: Conclusion

A．

24、In some snow-covered villages in Altay district of Xinjiang, it’s common in winter to see local herdsmen (牧民) with planks attached to their feet, climb the snowy slopes without any other form of assistance. The pair of planks are wrapped with horsehide (马皮), which serves a double purpose. Remarkably, the horsehide not only can provide friction to prevent skiers from slipping while going up the hills, but also helps them slide more smoothly down the hills.

According to rock carvings uncovered in the area by archaeologists, such skis have served for around 12, 000 years as a means of transportation for the snowfield people of Altay, especially those who had to travel a long way in the snow to herd animals or hunt. The fur skis gradually lost their popularity in recent decades after paved roads linked houses to the outside world. However, in response to the nation’s goal of brightening up grassroots enthusiasm for ice and snow sports, Altay plans to protect and promote its skiing culture and better pass along its skiing tradition to future generations.

Silambek Sakish, 67, a herdsman in the village of Altay, began to learn the craft at the age of 15 from his father. He would cut high-quality pine into a plank and then bend the plank’s front end after the wood was heated in a fire. Wrapping the plank with horsehide was the last step.

Sakish was honored as an heritor of the craft of making fur skis in 2010, which had been assigned as an intangible (非物质) cultural heritage of Xinjiang. His works are exhibited in ski places, airports and train stations across Altay and also at the display center for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics to promote the district's deep historical connection to skiing. More young people have come to him to learn the craft, and his youngest son, who is 31, has followed in his footsteps to carry on the tradition.

【1】What is a function of horsehide?

A．Keeping sliding more slowly.

B．Adding the friction up the hills.

C．Weakening the friction up the hills.

D．Increasing the friction down the hills.

【2】What can we infer about fur skis from paragraph 2?

A．They were used for fun in history.

B．They originated from winter sports.

C．They were first unearthed under a rock carving.

D．They may regain more popularity in the future.

【3】Which is the correct order of making fur skis?

a. Bending the plank’s front end.   

b. Heating the wood in a fire.

c. Wrapping the plank with horsehide.   

d. Cutting high-quality pine into a plank.

A．badc.

B．dbac.
