第5题：
In a big decision,the Supreme Court overturned a 1992 federal law that had effectively banned all states except Nevada from legalizing sports betting.The court had no opinion about sports gambling itself.11 merely reasserted a constitutional restraint on federal power over the states.So before states rush to permit,regulate,and tax sports betting,they may want to first weigh the original reasons behind the now-defunct ban.The big reason given back then by Congress was to maintain sports as a public display of talent,effort,and teamwork-the very opposite of a belief in chance.The integrity of athletes lies in their ability to master the circumstances of a game.In sports,unforeseen circumstances are not considered luck but rather a challenge to test the skills of athletes.Sports should not be sullied by the false hopes of quick riches by gamblers pining for a"lucky break."Like society itself,sports rely on each person's desire to understand the causality of evenrs and make the best of them.Athletes know they cannot put faith in so-called fortune.Nor should governments.If states now boost sports betting by legatizing it,what message are they sending about athletics-in fact,about any physical or mental endeavor?According to Bill Bradley,a former NBA star and the then-senator who sponsored the 1992 law,placing bets on players makes them no better than roulette chips.Sports have a dignity thai defies those who want to see games turning on a twist of fate.Mr.Bradley also gives a second reason for governments not to push betting on sports.Should gambling be allowed on Little League games or middle-school athletics?Even New Jersey,which led the case against the 1992 act,did not want betting on its local teams.Up to now,most major professional sports leagues were opposed to lifting the federal ban.They feared athletes might throw a game or simply rig a play at the request of gambling agencies,as is often the case in many parts of the world.If games were seen as gamed,fans might flee.Now after this ruling,however,leagues might be tempted by the possibility they could get what is misnamed an"integrity fee,"or a percentage of gambling revenues from each game.States,too,appear tempted to gain tax revenue from sports gambling-although they should first look at how little Nevada has actually gainecl from sports betting in comparison to other types of gambling.The uncertainties of legalized,regulated sports gambling in the United States are very high.But one certainty remains:Sports must remain pure in their purpose as a contest of what athletes give in a game,not what betting can take from them.
After the new ruling,major professional sports leagues would probablyA.keep fighting against sports betting.
B.want to profit from sports betting.
C.get stricter with sports integrity.
D.try harder to please their fans.答案：B解析：第六段④句指出：新判决生效后，各大职业体育联盟也许会被一些潜在收入（“诚信费”收入、博彩收人）所诱惑，即它们可能会因利益诱惑转变态度：由反对博彩转为从体育博彩收人中抽成，故B.正确。[解题技巧]A.与第六段信息“各大体育联盟受到利益诱惑可能会转变态度：由反对博彩转为利用博彩”相悖。C.D.分别由上文所述的体育博彩危害“威胁体育运动的诚信性”、“被下注的体育比赛可能会遭球迷厌恶”反向臆断出“各大联盟会更加重视体育诚信性和球迷喜好”，而原文并未提及各大联盟在新判决生效后对诚信性和球迷的态度。 -

Brotherly Love
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a centuly.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes,Muhammad
Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins
in one house in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sports but complained that they
could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,"You cannot play sports wearing shoes
that you'd walk around town with."So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of
athletic shoes with spikes（钉）,produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many
years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and
1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have sug-
gested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Adolph left the company.His nick-
name was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company,too.At first he wanted to
call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Puma logo of the jumping cat
has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies
have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,
though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written。
song called"My Adidas"and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened,over sixty years
ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to
each other.People in town have forgotten their argument.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：文章第五、六段讲到，1948年两兄弟吵架之后分别成立了公司：阿迪达斯和彪马。由此可知，阿迪达斯和彪马是在19世纪中期开始生产鞋的。
由文章第三段第一句话可知，Adolph和Rudalph的父亲是一个鞋匠。
文章最后一段提到自两兄弟吵架后的60年里，他们所在的城镇就分成了两部分，直到…现在一些阿迪达斯的员工和彪马的员工都还不说话。由此可知，两兄弟是在家乡做鞋的。
根据文章第五段第二句话“but family members have suggested that thea堪ument Was aboutmoney or women"可知，两兄弟吵架不是为了鞋。
由文章第五、六段可知，两兄弟各自开了公司。
文章中没有提到耐克这一运动品牌的情况。
从文章最后一段可知，人们并没有忘记两兄弟的吵架。 -

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms;organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exactly like base-ball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the country,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets,because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball origi-nated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do "not assemble"primarily to see the horse race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Basketball in American is so popular with universities that nation-wide university matches are held yearly.

Recreation and Sports
1."All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy."is a popular saying in the United States. Other countries have similar sayings.It is true that all of us need recreation,We cannot work all the time if we are going to maintain good health and enjoy life.Good physical and mental health in fact enables us to work more efficiently.
2.Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports.There are team sports,such as baseball,basketball and football.There are individual sports, also,such as golf and swimming. In addition,hiking,fishing,skating and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors.Chess,card-playing,and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people.
3.Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to participate in them. Many people prefer to be spectators,either by attending the games in person,watching them on television,or listening to them on the radio.When there is an important baseball game or boxing match,it is almost impossible to get tickets;everyone wants to attend.
4.It doesn't matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong,concentrate over the bridge table （桥牌桌）,or go walking through the woods on a brisk（清新的）autumn afternoon. It is important for everyone to relax from time to time and enjoy some form of recreation.Participating indoor sports or outdoor sports is a good way______.
A:must be very boring
B:some kind of recreation

第11题：
A.The Arguments of Sports Executives
B.The Philosophy of Visionary Executives
C.Sports and Television in the 21st Century
D.Sports：A Business答案：C解析：判断文章的主旨着重看首末两段，以及中间各段的第一句话。本文首段指出Sport is heading for an indissoluble marriage with television ...(体育运动与电视密切结合)，第二段主要讲在电视上转播体育比赛的技术给观众带来的好处，第三、四段讲一些运动项目管理者的保守观点，第五段The world is being constructed on new technologies...Sport will have to adapt itself to the new world讲体育运动必须适应新技术的发展，最后一段最后一句话rather than see television take over sport，why not have sports taken over television更是表明全文围绕sports和television二者的关系展开论述，因此只有C项为正确答案。A、B两项只描述了第三、四段的内容，D项没有提到television，概括不够全面。故本题选C。参考译文：体育运动与电视密切结合，且收看体育节目的观众享有更多的选择空间。这一切将在未来的体育运动中实现。观看体育节目的电视观众将拥有优先选择权，职业俱乐部也会重新调整组织结构来适应新趋势：体育运动是一种商业活动。新技术将意味着观众不再需要等着收看频道所播放的节目，而是由自己决定观看什么节目，并为此支付费用。在美国，名为“收看—付费”的未来系统已经启用，所有的节目均由电视台提供，而观众只需选择想看的节目。《体育》杂志最近发表了关于在下个世纪中叶本系统使用者生活情况的介绍，文章称观众将会通过一个巨大的、足以占据一面墙的平面屏幕选择想看的电视节目，并且画面的清晰度也是目前技术无法预知的。电视观众可以从击球手身后的教练员的角度观看棒球比赛，或是从明星球员头顶的角度俯视足球比赛。观众将拥有和节目制作人相同的自主支配权，选择重放，选择哪个镜头对着自己以及决定是否要听到现场观众、球员或是教练的声音。许多运动项目的管理者年事已高并且思想太保守，以至于对新技术感觉不习惯，他们认为在电视上转播的体育运动覆盖范围必须得到控制以确保观众继续到现场观看比赛。他们也不愿接受与其观点相矛盾的事实，例如，虽然电视上越来越多地转播篮球比赛，但无疑篮球比赛也越来越受到人们的喜爱。电视正危害着平凡的运动队，这也正是这些运动项目的管理者争论的话题。事实如此，但那些运动队的未来也是平凡的。他们已经达到了顶峰，这就是市场规律。只有重大的赛事才会吸引大量的观众。世界由新技术构建起来，因此人们可以最大限度利用时间，在家中就可以收看最大范围的娱乐节目。体育运动将不得不适应新世界。有远见卓识的管理者看得更远。他们的哲学是：与其让电视取代体育运动，为何不让体育运动取代电视呢？ -

第13题：
2 Good Sports Limited is an independent sports goods retailer owned and operated by two partners, Alan and Bob. The
sports retailing business in the UK has undergone a major change over the past ten years. First of all the supply side
has been transformed by the emergence of a few global manufacturers of the core sports products, such as training
shoes and football shirts. This consolidation has made them increasingly unwilling to provide good service to the
independent sportswear retailers too small to buy in sufficiently large quantities. These independent retailers can stock
popular global brands, but have to order using the Internet and have no opportunity to meet the manufacturer’s sales
representatives. Secondly, UK’s sportswear retailing has undergone significant structural change with the rapid growth
of a small number of national retail chains with the buying power to offset the power of the global manufacturers.
These retail chains stock a limited range of high volume branded products and charge low prices the independent
retailer cannot hope to match.
Good Sports has survived by becoming a specialist niche retailer catering for less popular sports such as cricket,
hockey and rugby. They are able to offer the specialist advice and stock the goods that their customers want.
Increasingly since 2000 Good Sports has become aware of the growing impact of e-business in general and e-retailing
in particular. They employed a specialist website designer and created an online purchasing facility for their
customers. The results were less than impressive, with the Internet search engines not picking up the company
website. The seasonal nature of Good Sports’ business, together with the variations in sizes and colours needed to
meet an individual customer’s needs, meant that the sales volumes were insufficient to justify the costs of running
the site.
Bob, however, is convinced that developing an e-business strategy suited to the needs of the independent sports
retailer such as Good Sports will be key to business survival. He has been encouraged by the growing interest of
customers in other countries to the service and product range they offer. He is also aware of the need to integrate an
e-business strategy with their current marketing, which to date has been limited to the sponsorship of local sports
teams and advertisements taken in specialist sports magazines. Above all, he wants to avoid head-on competition
with the national retailers and their emphasis on popular branded sportswear sold at retail prices that are below the
cost price at which Good Sports can buy the goods.
Required:
(a) Provide the partners with a short report on the advantages and disadvantages to Good Sports of developing
an e-business strategy and the processes most likely to be affected by such a strategy. (12 marks)
正确答案：
(a) To: Good Sports Limited
From:
E – Business strategy
Clearly, the markets that Good Sports operates in are being affected by the development of e-business and its experiences to
date are mixed to say the least. In many ways the advantages and disadvantages of e-business are best related to the benefit
the customer gets from the activity. Firstly, through integrating and accelerating business processes e-business technologies
enable response and delivery times to be speeded up. Secondly, there are new business opportunities for information-based
products and services. Thirdly, websites can be linked with customer databases and provide much greater insights into
customer buying behaviour and needs. Fourthly, there is far greater ability for interaction with the customer, which enables
customisation and a dialogue to be developed. Finally, customers may themselves form. communities able to contact one
another.
There is considerable evidence to show how small operators like Good Sports are able to base their whole strategy on
e-business and achieve high rates of growth. The key to Good Sports survival is customer service – in strategic terms they
are very much niche marketers supplying specialist service and advice to a small section of the local market. The nature of
the business means that face-to-face contact is crucial in moving customers from awareness to action (AIDA – awareness,interest, desire and action). There are therefore limits to the ability of e-business to replace such contact.

C.Sports betting is a threat to the integrity of sports.
D.Almost all sports contain a certain amount of luck.答案：C解析：第二段首句指出国会通过1992法令的最初动因“确保体育运动是对才能、努力及团队合作的公开展示——与相信机遇的博彩信念截然相反”，随后指出运动员的正直诚信体现于他们的比赛技能。由此可知，1992法令背后最为核心的理念就是“体育博彩会威胁体育诚信”，故C.符合文意。[解题技巧]A.干扰源自第三段②句“赌徒们期待一夜暴富的虚假妄想会玷污体育运动”，但不符合④句“运动员不相信运气（不易受到一夜暴富愿望的影响）”；B.将第三段①句对unforeseen circumstances的陈述“是测试运动员技能的一种挑战”夸大为“使运动员发挥最佳技能”；D.源自人们的惯常认识“运动员的成就往往是技能和运气综合作用的结果”，但并非1992法规所基于的理念。 -

American Sports
The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory；athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found;and hunting and fishing.Most sports are seasonal,so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.Some sports are called spectator sports,as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and sum-mer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exact-ly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the coun-try,and the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11 players on each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur.
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to foot-ball because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling,boxing,and horse racing.Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen,the accuracy of the term is questionable,as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble” primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.Baseball shares many features with the English game of cricket.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：A解析：题干意为“在美国，男人们，无论老少，都喜欢打猎和钓鱼”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语hunting, fishing, men, US作为定位线索，同时关注题干中的修饰词young, old，这样找到相关句Sports in America take a variety of forms: organized competitive struggles,which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory;athletic games,played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found； and hunting and fishing，相关句意为“在美 国，运动有各种各样的形式：有组织的比赛争夺，吸引着众多的人群去为他们最喜欢的队取得胜利而喝彩，为了消遣只要能找到足够的场地就举行的竞技活动，此外，还有打猎和捕鱼。” 由相关句可知“打猎和钓鱼是美国人的两种运动形式”，但至于什么样的人喜欢打猎和捕鱼却没有提到，短文的其他部分也没有谈到这样的内容，因此是否主要是男人们喜欢打猎和捕鱼 是从短文中无法获取的信息。
题干意为“职业棒球队在春夏两个赛季结束之后还可以在秋季继续进行比赛很长时间”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语professional baseball teams , the regular baseball seasons,a long period of time, fall, spring, summer作为定位线索，这样找到相关句 Baseball is the most popular sport in the US.It is played throughout the spring and summer （对应the regular baseball seasons of spring and summer),and professional baseball teams play well into the fall（对应a long period of time in the fall)．相关句提到“整个春夏两个赛季人们都在打棒球，职业棒球比赛进入秋季后还可以持续很长时间”。很明显，题干句意义与 短文中相关内容一致。
题干意为“棒球比赛和英国的板球比赛之间有很多共同点”。利用题干中的 名词和名词短语baseball, English game of cricket, many features作为定位线索，这样找到相 关句Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket(英国板球比赛），相关句提到“与棒球运动最接近的是英国的板球运动”，这与题干句的句意一致，因此题干句陈述了正确的信息。
题干意为“足球可以被归类为一种观赏性的运动”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语football , spectator sport作为定位线索，这样找到相关句Some sports are called spectator sports , as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game（第一段最后一 句）… the football stadiums of some of the largest universities seat as many as 80,000 people。相关句提到“最大的大学足球体育馆能容纳下八万名观众”，而根据spectator sports的定义（观众的人数大大地超过参加比赛的球员的人数），由此可以得出这样的结论：足球是观赏性的运动。有的阅读判断题考查考生依据所给的阅读材料进行分析和推断的能力。
题干意为“许多美国人同橄榄球相比更喜欢篮球，因为橄榄球比赛很粗鲁，所以球员们都必须得穿上特别的制服”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语many Americans, basketball,football, players, special uniforms作为定位线索，这样找到相关句Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game。相关句提到“许多美国 人喜欢篮球胜过橄榄球是因为篮球整个冬季可以在室内比赛，而且节奏更快”，显然短文中陈 述的美国人更喜欢篮球的原因与题干陈述的原因不一致。
题干意为“在美国篮球在大学里是如此的受欢迎以至于每年都会举行全国范围内的篮球比赛”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语basketball , American , universities , nationwide university matches作为定位线索，这样找到相关句It（指篮球）is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than 20 states,state-wide high school matches（与na-tionwide university matches相对应）are held yearly，相关句意为“篮球在美国中学里非常流行，在20多个州里每年都要举行全州规模的中学篮球比赛”，但该句没有提到大学是否每年都要举行全国性的比赛。整篇短文中也没有提到大学是否会每年举行全国性比赛。
题干意为“赛马迷不能被认为是运动员，因为他们是观众，他们主要的兴趣是赌博”。利用题干中的名词及名词短语horse-racing fans, sportsmen, spectators, primary interest , gambling作为定位线索，这样发现相关句Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing,and horse racing.…The so-called sportsmen are the spectators,who do“not assemble”primarily to see the horses race,but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the attraction of horse racing，相关句提到“赛马比赛吸引人之处是赌博，赛马迷只是对赌博感兴趣”，显然相关句与题干意义一致。 -

Brotherly Love
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup一winning football heroes,Muhammad Ali,hip hop stars and rock musicians famous all over the world.But the story of these two companies begins in one hoise in the town of Herzogenaurach,Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker.They loved sport but complained that they could never find comfortable shoes to play in.Rudolph always said,“You cannot play sports wearing shoes that you'd walk around town with.”So they started making their own.In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes（钉）,produced on the Dasslers,kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,Dassler Brothers Ltd and they worked together for many years.The company became successful and it provided the shoes for Germany's athletes at the 1928 and 1932 Olympic Games.
But in 1948 the brothers argued.No one knows exactly what happened,but family mem-bers have suggested that the argument was about money or women.The result was that Ad-olph left the company.His nickname was Adi,and using this and the first three letters of the family name,Dassler,he founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the River Aurach and founded his own company too.At first he wanted to call it Ruda,but eventually he called it Puma,after the wild cat.The famous Pu-ma logo of the jumping cat has hardly changed since.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again and their companies have now been in competition for over sixty years.Both companies were for many years the market leaders,though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma.A hip hop group,Run DMC,has even written a song called“My Adidas”and in 2005 Adidas bought Reebok,another big sports shoe company.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten,but ever since it happened, over sixty years ago,the town has been split into two.Even now,some Adidas employees and Puma employees don't talk to each other.The brothers'father was a ball maker.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mention答案：B解析：题干意为“阿迪达斯和彪马自19世纪末开始做鞋。”文章第二段“Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes,World Cup-winning football heroes”表明，从1928年开始两个公司就开始为奥林匹克运动员等提供鞋了，故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“这两兄弟的父亲是做球的。”文中第三段第一句“Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker.”说明两兄弟是一个鞋匠的儿子。故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“这两兄弟在家里做鞋。”文中第三段最后一句“In 1920 Adolph made the first pair of athletics shoes with spikes,produced on the Dasslers'kitchen table”说明他们的第一双鞋是在家里的餐桌上做出来的。故此题说法为“正确”的。
题干意为“两兄弟因为鞋争吵。”文中第五段对于争吵有描写“No one knows exactly what happened,but family members have suggested that the argument was about money or women”虽然没人知道到底发生了什么，但是家庭成员觉得两人是为了金钱和女人起了争执。故此题说法为“错误”的。
题干意为“争吵之后兄弟俩决定建立各自的公司。”第五、六两段分别写了两人争吵之后建立公司的细节。故此题说法是“正确”的。
题干意为“耐克做的鞋比阿迪达斯多。”文章只写了阿迪达斯和彪马两个公 司的事，没有提及耐克。故此说法为“未提及”的。
题干意为“镇子里的人忘记了他们的争吵。”从最后一段我们可以看出，不但两兄弟吵架了，两兄弟各自公司的员工也互不理睬。第一句“The terrible family argument should really be forgotten.”说明争吵应该被遗忘，但是接着以but来转折，故此题说法为“错误”的。 -
