Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.

The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year' s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.

Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim- ilar to soccer.

Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.

[D] Tennis.

28. For how long has soccer been played in the United States?

[ B ] About fifty years.

[ C ] Only recently.

[ D ] About thirty years.

29. Who invented the modem soccer game?

[c] Geeks [D] Romans.

30. What is the author going to state in the next paragraph?

[C] Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe.

The cohesiveness(內聚力 ) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac- tices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.

Existing ch shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in- cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character- ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup- port the family ;wives arc "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.

The women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's response:

I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak- ing, wben it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do husbands,a good wife is someone who is:

Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it al work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shil when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense.

These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.

31. Despite , shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.

[ A ] traditional beliefs about marriage

[ B ] Jack of control over time

[ C ] a very clear division of roles

[ D ] the demands of work

32. From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with

[A] their work

[ B ] their children

[ C ] their husbands' inability to protect the family and provide companionship

[D] leisure activities

33. What is implied by the author?

[ A 1 Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members.

[ B ] Shift workers could live a normal life.

[ C] Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage.

[ D ] Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families.

34. In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,

[ A] wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent

[ B ] shift work couples must administer their time and activities

[ C ] wives mustn' t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands'

[ D ] all of thesework

35. The best title for this paragraph is

[ A ] Constructing Family Life

[ B ] Managing Time and Activities

[ C ] The Meaning of Marriage

[ D ] Living a Normal Life

美國準備着迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他們有史以來第一次承辦了世界盃。當全世界有數以百萬計的人在踢足球時，這項運動在關國才剛剛火熱起來。大批美國青年人對足球感興趣還是最近30年的事。但現在它是美國發展最快的運動。一項最近的調查顯示大約有一千八百萬的美國青年男女踢足球。

這項調查同樣表明，足球已經開始代替更多的傳統運動，比如橄欖球，成為學生當中最流行的運動。因此，世界盃下週開賽時預計去看球的美國人超過一百萬。主辦方聲稱這一屆的世界盃會成為歷史上最盛大的一屆。52場比賽中大部分場次的座位已全部售完。

足球在美國僅僅有一百多年的歷史，但這項運動是怎樣流傳到這個國家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?沒有人確切地知道足球是從哪裏起源或是人們從什麼時候開始踢足球。某些科學家表示，有證據證明用腳玩的球類運動幾千年前就有了。現在也有證據顯示古希臘、古羅馬和美國土著印第安人玩類似於足球的運動。

大部分專家都承認英國是現代足球的發源地，他們同樣也認為英國把足球傳播到了世界各地。不同的是，現在比賽中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革質地，而過去使用的球常常是用動物的胃做的。早期足球比賽的規則也與現在有所不同。

答案及解析

26.c【解析】是非題。見文中第一段第五旬提到，足球在美國是發展最快的運動，但沒有説在世界範圍內是發展最快的運動。故選C。

27.B 【解析】細節題。見第二段第一句，“…soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年中最為流行的傳統運動。故選B。

28.A【解析】細節題。見第三段第一句話。

29.B【解析】細節題。見最後一段第一句，英國是現代足球的發明者。

30.B【精析】推理題。文中最後一段講述了英國足球是現代足球的發明國，接下來就應該介紹一下足球在英國的發展才符合邏輯。故選B。

一個家庭的'內聚力似乎要依靠家庭成員們一起做一些常規的事情來維繫。然而由於美國勞動力人數的增多，在非正常工作時間的輪班工作，也就是我們通常所説的“換班工作”，使家庭生活面臨困境。

現有的調查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承認壓力很大，工作和家庭生活的需求相互衝突。但是，從事換班工作的夫婦們仍然保持着對婚姻的意義和夫妻各自責任的傳統觀念。他們表示仍然願意“不惜一切代價”實現他們認為正常的婚姻生活，譬如犧牲睡眠時間或是在非常規的時間去做一些慣例的事情。大多數接受採訪的夫婦，甚至是那些妻子在外工作的家庭都認為，正常家庭生活的顯著特點還是清楚的分工：丈夫是家庭的“支撐者”，他們主要的責任是養活全家，而妻子仍然是“主婦”。她們負責打掃、做飯、照顧丈夫和孩子。

以下是一個妻子對“好丈夫”的定義，這代表了所有女人的看法：

我希望他能養家。在我需要的時候陪在我身邊，和我熱衷於相同的事物。希望他也願意支配我，就像我期望的那樣。這麼説吧，在需要他表現得像個男人的時候，我希望他挺身而出，而不是坐視不管，卻想讓我去處理一切。

丈夫們眼中的好妻子是這樣的：

她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作時受尊重，我希望能在工作中找到受尊重的感覺。我要我的妻子明白我對工作的期望。我可不想每天下班回家的時候，她嘮叨個沒完洇為我也不知道這是否有意義。 以上的觀點對於維護那些輪班工作的夫妻家庭是至關重要的。
