52、起到作用。3.D句意:在一周的七天内,据说在有些国家周六是举行婚礼的最佳选择。4.B句意:“谁在主持电视节目?她好像很有才华。”“Mary Green,她过去是位很棒的女演员。”5.Dused to do sth.过去常常做某事,be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。此处表示今昔对比,故选D。6.Areplace 在句中的意思是“放回原处”。7.Acover在此处意为“支付,够用”。问句句意:你有足够的钱来支付你的日常开支吗?8.D从句意看此处应用host,意为“主持”。9.B句意为“如果一个人想取得成功,他就必须尽可能地努力工作”。10.Bbe admitted into

56、赛是想通过自己的努力去“完成”自己想干的事情,不管是“什么”事情。35.C 作者受到鼓舞,再难的事情也变得“容易”了。36.C 细节理解题。从第一段的“Stress can be physical,emotional,or psychological and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout.可知减少心理压力的方法是减少stress。故C项正确。37.C 细节理解题。从第二段的“The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place.可知答案选C。3
57、8.B 归纳推理题。由最后一段的“Following a game many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find faults with youngstersperformances.以及Again,criticism can create high levels of stress,which can lead to burnout.可得出结论,父母和教练只顾结果而对运动 员吹毛求疵,这无疑增加了他们的压力,破坏了他们的自信心。故B项正确。39.A 推理判断题。由最后一段可总结出教练和父母应该变批评为鼓励,以减轻运动员的心理压力
58、,使他们拥有积极的动机,从而更喜欢体育运动。所以A项正确。40.C 作者意图题。纵观全文可知作者通过写stress对孩子参加运动的诸多负面影响,让父母和教练们意识到只有更多的积极的鼓励,减少批评和挑剔,才能让孩子喜欢体育运动,所以C项正确。41.C 从第一段我们可以看出古奥运会是在公元前776年开始的,故选C。42.D 整篇文章都在介绍摔跤的历史。在古奥运会举行之前,摔跤就已经作为一种运动形式存在了。作者 说摔跤是人类历史的序幕,旨在说明摔跤作为一种运动历史悠久。43.D 由第二段可知A、B、C都为原因,故选D。44.C 这种摔跤比赛让人振奋,又让人放松,与以前那种不同,这是它受欢迎的主要原因
59、。45.A 细节理解题。根据文中的时间1896年再结合目前的时间可以确定答案。46.A 主旨大意题。综合全文可知,文章主要谈论的是奥运会的发展史。47.B 细节理解题。文中并未提及史上第一次有记录的奥运会举办目的。48.C 主旨大意题。通读全文以及第一段中的What is Americas number one sport?和倒数第一段中So what is Americas number one sport?可推断出答案。49.B 词义推测题。由文中第二段最后一句Today,they had better be ready because there are so many talents
60、in other countries.可知现在各国高手林立,对他们造成威胁,因此比赛是艰难的。50.D 主旨大意题。通读全文可知A项不是“说服”而是“解释,说明”;文中并未涉及“美国不同运动的历史”,而是仅说明了篮球,故B项错误;C项错误,理由同B项。51-55 EFBGCNoticeBoys and girls, Attention, please!
