26、

As college sports continue to be hugely popular and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) brings in large amounts of money, people have restarted the debate on whether college athletes should get paid.

Supporters of the idea believe that, because college athletes are bringing in audiences, they should receive some sort of compensation (补偿). In fact, the NCAA brings in about $1 billion income a year, but college athletes don’t receive any of that money in the form of a paycheck. Additionally, people who believe college athletes should be paid state that paying college athletes will actually encourage them to remain in college longer and not turn professionals as quickly, either by giving them a way to begin earning money in college or requiring them to sign a contract (合同) saying they’ll stay at the university for a certain number of years while making an agreed-upon salary.

People who argue against the idea of paying college athletes believe the practice could be disastrous for college sports. Paying athletes would turn college sports into a bidding (竞拍) war, where only the richest schools could afford top athletes, and most schools would be shut out from developing a talented team. It could also harm the camaraderie within many college teams if players become unhappy that certain teammates are making more money than they are.

Those against paying college athletes also believe that the athletes are receiving enough benefits already. The top athletes receive scholarships that are worth tens of thousands per year. They receive free food and textbooks, get travel bonuses and free equipment, and can use their time in college as a way to attract the attention of professional coaches. No other college students receive anywhere near as much from their schools.

While both sides have good points, it’s clear that the negatives of paying college athletes far outweigh the positives. College athletes have been compensated enough. Adding a salary would result in a college athletic system where only a few athletes are paid by some schools who enter bidding wars to sign them up, while most student athletics and college athletic programs suffer or even shut down for lack of money. Continuing to offer the present benefits to student athletes makes it possible for as many people to benefit from and enjoy college sports as possible.

【1】It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that college athletes ________.

A．have earned what they are promised

B．tend to serve college longer when paid

C．should sign a contract to make an agreed-upon salary

D．prefer to stay at university rather than turn professionals

【2】The underlined word “camaraderie” in Paragraph 3 is similar to “________”.

A．friendship

B．competition

C．spirit

D．communication

【3】People against paying college athletes believe ________.

A．schools would be unable to afford it

B．it could be harmful to college sports

C．no other college students receive benefits

D．students would value payments over achievements

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards paying college athletes?

A．Uncertain.

B．Satisfied.

C．Unsupportive.

D．Expectant.

27、   A brother and a sister have been reunited (重逢) after more than 60 years, thanks to a letter in the Welwynand Hatfield Times. For years John Hannant kept a photo of his long-lost sister, hoping they would meet again.

Margery, the eldest of three children, had signed up with the Royal Air Force as part of the war effort, when John was still a baby.

The family lost touch and as many years passed only a single letter gave a clue to her whereabouts (下落). The clue was enough for a WHT reader to recognize Margery and put the family back in touch.

John, 67, said he had been searching for a long time and a friend suggested writing to the paper.

“That’s the one that made it, the letter to the paper,” he said. “It’s like a dream that comes true. The last time we ever heard from Margery was in 1953 after the terrible floods. She wrote home to know if we were all right.My sister Dorothy wrote back, but Margery had moved again and never got the letter.”

Having retired from his job as a gardener at Park House, Mr Hannant decided to take action.

He and his wife Doreen traveled to Margery’s home in Chelwood Avenue, Hatfield, which she shares with her husband Jack Cooke.

Now 88, Margery was recovering from her heart operation, but immediately recognized her brother. John said, “It’s something I never thought that was going to happen but I always hoped it would.” AS well as finding his sister, John has also discovered he now has a nephew, a niece and six grandnieces and grandnephews.

【1】The headline of the news would be “________”.

A．An unforgettable and moving experience

B．The Hannant family lost touch because of war

C．A brother and a sister reunited after 60 years

D．The importance of a letter to WHT

【2】Margery left her family because ________.

A．she attended the air school

B．she joined the Royal Air Force

C．she had to feed her family

D．a big flood hit her hometown

【3】Who helped the family reunite after many years?

A．Margery’s husband Jack Cooke.

B．The photographer of the photo of Margery.

D．A reader of WHT.

29、We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways. It is true that a smile means the same thing in many cultures. So does laughter and crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings. Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry. This is probably because they are born with those behaviour patterns.

Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world. In Chinese and English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock. However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest “anger” in Chinese whereas in English it means “surprise”. In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretch out their tongues”! “Sticking out your tongue” in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.

Even in the same culture, people differ in the ability to understand and express feelings. Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognising fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces. Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognise or understand body language than younger people do.

【1】According to the passage,________.

A．we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean

B．we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures

C．words can be better understood by older people

D．gestures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot

【2】In the same culture,________.

A．people have different abilities to understand and express feelings

B．people have the same understanding of something

C．people never fail to understand each other

D．people are equally intelligent

【3】From this passage,we can conclude ________.

A．words are used as frequently as gestures

B．words are often difficult to be understood

C．words and gestures are both used in expressing feelings

D．gestures are more efficiently used than words

【4】The best title for this passage may be “________”.

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.

When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother, “only a miracle(奇迹)can save him now.” The little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.

She hurried to a drugstore (药店) with the money in her hand. At that moment, only a salesman and a well-dressed man were in the drugstore. The girl went to the salesman directly. “What do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman.

“My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile.

“Please! If it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.” said the little girl, almost crying with anxiety.
