South Africa Golf Association President Colin Burger offers a reason. “We can play 12 months of the year, which is obviously an advantage for us, so we can actually gro
18、om our juniors up until the seniors, and we can play a lot of tournaments all over the country in good weather conditions,” said Burger.South Africa also has programs to spot and develop young talent, regardless of social background. The South Africa Golf Development Board offers programs across the
19、 country to teach children to play golf. Every day after school, they can come for free to perfect their swing (挥棒) with a coach.When the children are good enough, they can practice at a regular golf course, and the best get to play in tournaments around the country. For the South Africa Golf Develo
20、pment Board, golf is more than a sport. Regional manager Andy Ostle said, “The game of golf is very similar to life itself. It teaches them etiquette (礼仪); it teaches them values; it teaches them honesty. And the most important thing is that it takes them off the streets. Theyre doing something wort
21、hwhile that they can actually pursue (追求) once they become an adult.”And there are benefits for those young players who do not become professionals. “To play golf, they also have to go to school. They have to pass their exams, and if they pass their exams, then there is a much better possibility to
22、get a job, especially in the golfing industry,” said Ostle.In the South Africa Golf Association, 25 percent of the players in the junior section turn professional after three years. The future of South African golf is already in good hands.36. The reason why South Africa produces top golfers is that

25、 is the best sport in the world B. intends to teach children etiquetteC. is not really their original sport D. helps children grow healthily 40. What can we learn about the young players according to the text?A. They are tired of playing football and turn to golf.B. About a quarter of them will beco
26、me professional players.C. They go to learn playing golf in order to find a good job.D. Most of them play golf in order to get rid of school exams.BPaul Larsens Vestas Sailrocket 2 is half boat, half plane, and hopefully it will soon be the fastest sailing boat on water too. “Everything above the wa
27、ter is an aeroplane and everything below the water behaves just like a boat,” says Larsen, a professional sailor whos now turned his attention to breaking the speed sailing record, describing it as his lifetime mission (使命). “A large part of this boat is flying,” says Larsen. “When its going at high
28、 speed, its like a well-built paper airplane.”The record is open to any craft (飞行器), as long as its using wind and water, and there is at least one person on board. At present, it is held by American kite surfer Rob Douglas, who reached 55.65 knots (about 103 kilometres per hour) over the required 5
29、00 meter course in 2010.The craft may be using the latest technology, but its concept (理念) is based on a craft that was written about nearly five decades ago. American rocket scientist Bernard Smith wrote about a sailboat in 1963 that he believed could reach 40 knots a concept that was well ahead of
30、 his time. Larsens team tracked down Smith in 2007 to tell the then 97-year-old that they had broken the 40 knots, using the ideas Smith came up with 44 years earlier. Based on that design, they have since been able to go 50 knots and are pushing to go even faster.“It is dangerous,” Larsen admits. “
31、You go out there and you dont realize the consequences if the smallest thing goes wrong.” The worst crashes are the ones when the boat dives directly into the water. “Thats a killer. At least in the air you slow down.” Although there is some danger, Larsen and his team wont stop until they hit the 6
32、0 knot mark and take with it the world speed sailing record. 41. Larsen hopes to realize his dream to . A. set a new world speed sailing record B. design a craft which can fly and sail C. win a gold medal in the Olympic Games D. put his Vestas Sailrocket 2 into market42. To challenge the record, a c
33、ompetitor must . A. make a boat of special paper B. sail the boat designed by himself C. go through half a kilometer course D. make use of the latest technology43. What can we infer from the text about Bernard Smith? A. He was a professional sailor himself. B. He instructed Larsens work now and then
34、. C. He designed the boat particularly for Larsen. D. He got to know his concept proved to be a success.44. The most dangerous moment comes when Larsens boat . A. reaches the highest speed B. gets into water from the air C. starts to fly into the air D. slows down in the air45. What would be the bes
35、t title for the text? A. The world speed sailing competition B. A flying boat is coming into our life C. Rocket scientist Bernard Smiths dream D.

36、ters or hippies criticized middle class values. Hippies were in favor of peace, love, and personal freedom over political and social systems. The hippies fashion was popular with the youth across the United States in the 1960s. The hippies designed a whole new lifestyle of their own. The 1960s hippi
37、es fashion included the dressing styles which the youth of today are interested in. These teenagers decorated themselves with flowers in their hair. They enjoyed body painting and tattoo body art.

38、omen. They tried to show off themselves and didnt care about what others thought about them. In the 1960s, the hippies fashion offered a very informal and casual look.

39、at influence on the world today. They wore bell-bottom jeans, and T-shirts were part of everyday wear. Women wore long skirts and dresses.

41、 the time also included bandanas and other headgear, scarves. Hippies decorated their hair with flowers or little hair clips or a colorful headband across their forehead. The long easy flowing hair tied back a thin ribbon became popular throughout the 1960s.Womens jewelry was mostly influenced by Na
42、tive American or any similar handmade designs. Sporting any necklace with beads was hugely popular. Jewelry that made music was highly desirable since music was a basic part of the hippies scene. Necklaces and jangly ankle bracelets were popular among women. In general, the ankles received a lot of
43、attention, especially amongst those living on the warm west coast, because many hippies preferred to go barefoot (赤脚的).Hippies fought back the ugliness of the Second World War and turned the attention of fashion towards natural beauty as much as possible. The youth movement affected the teen fashion
44、 industry in a major way.
