Unit 2 Sports events-提升卷 ‎1、    There are many weird sports that are present from around the world. From each region of the world, along with the very popular common sports, there are also those really popular but very weird kinds of sports.‎ ‎    The Ultimate Test between Man and Horse:‎ ‎    This indeed a very strange kind of sport that tests your stamina. You will learn how to be agiler while competing against a horse. This game originated in Welsh town of Llanwrtyd Wells. This sport really has to do with strength. You will require great agility and strength in order to take part in this. Marathon human contestants are put to test against those mounted on horses. This is how the marathon testing takes place.‎ ‎    Love Locked Race ‎    This is a sports event that was first introduced in Finland. This is all about a male competitor racing with a female in a certain way. There would be many obstructions and blocks on the way which would definitely bring you challenges. The person to win would have to finish the race without losing his female partner in the course of overcoming the obstacles even for once. This race takes place really fast and the obstacles are set that way.‎ ‎    Toe sport ‎    This is yet another weird sport that welcomes you to use your toes. This is quite the same kind of sport that you used to play as a child which involved toe wrestling. This has now been turned into a major sport that even has a World Toe Wrestling Competition. It first originated in a pub of Derbyshire.‎ ‎    The locals took this sport with great enjoyment and then made this so popular that it soon had its own championship. The individuals who participate have only got to use their feet in locks but then this is tougher than it may sound.‎ ‎    The Mud Pit Belly Flop ‎    This is a kind of game where even the spectators get splashed in mud but in fact that is quite the fun. The very annual Summer Redneck Games in East Dublin brings about this game and brings about some of the greatest hubcap discus throws with it. This is also a great sport to show the strength and dexterity of your feet.‎ ‎1.Which sport requires couples to participate?

Following the rules…planning your next move...acting as a team member …these are all “game” ideas that you will come across throughout your life.‎ ‎    Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are entertaining and fun. But perhaps more importantly, they translate life into exciting dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating.‎ ‎    Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called Bones, which sharpens the hand-eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.Many sports encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competition. People who watch the event wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just the athlete who earned it. For countries experiencing natural disasters or war, an Olympic win can mean so much.‎ ‎    Sports are also an event that unites people. Soccer is the most popular sport in the world. People on all continents play it—some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian soccer player, has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.‎ ‎    Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects of your life.‎ ‎1.Through playing hide-and-seek, children are expected to learn to _____. A.be a team leader B.predict possible danger C.act as a grown-up D.obey the basic rules 2.The underlined part in Paragraph 2 most probably means that games can_____. A.make learning life skills more interesting B.turn real-life experiences into a play C.describe life in a ridiculous way D.change people’s views of sporting events 3.According to the passage, why is winning Olympic medals so encouraging? A.It proves the special skills of the winners. B.It inspires people’s deep love for the country. C.It helps the country out of natural disasters. D.It earns the winners fame and fortune. 4.What can be inferred from the passage? A.People are advised to play games for fun. B.Sports can get all athletes together. C.Games benefit people all their lives. D.Sports increase a country’s competitiveness.‎ ‎3、Girls should take part in competitive sport to build confidence, the leader of a group of girls’schools will argue this week. Helen Fraser, director of the Girls Day School Trust (GDST), will tell the group that sport can help girls cope with failure. ‎ ‎    “All girls and not just the sporty ones should take physical exercise”, Ms Fraser will say. Research that girls are far less active than boys is worrying, she argues. Ms Fraser will tell the group that she backs “sport for all”. “That’s why I love it when our schools have A, B, C and D teams and beyond”, she will say. ‎ ‎    The GDST draws on research from the Women’s Sport and Fitness Foundation which suggests only a quarter of girls in England meet basic levels(水平)of activity each week. One in five girls do no activity at all, twice the proportion (比例)of boys, the research suggests. ‎ ‎    Ms Fraser says other research suggests that more than 80% of women business leaders played sports while growing up. She uses the examples of US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, once a skater and tennis player, while the head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, was in the French national swimming team. Ms Fraser says Olympic medallists like Jessica Ennis, Katherine Grainger and Nicola Adams are excellent role models for young women but says women’s sport needs more money and more news reports. ‎ Valerie Dunsford, head of Sheffield High School, part of GDST, said it was important to offer a large number of sports to attract different types of girls. “Not everyone wants to be out playing the hockey (曲棍球)”, said Ms Dunsford. 1.Which of the following ideas would Ms Fraser agree with? A.Those taking part in the sport are always failures. B.More should be done to make girls do sports. C.Girls are less confident than boys. D.Boys are born to be sport lovers. 2.What’s the proportion of boys who never take exercise? A.1/10. B.1/4. C.1/5. D.2/5. 3.Ms Fraser mentions those famous women to show ________. A.hard work will pay off. B.it’s not easy to be great. C.sport can help girls to ‎ succeed. D.it’s necessary to balance work and sport. 4.What’s the purpose of the text? A.To explain the key to success. B.To show the importance of sport. C.To introduce more games to girls. D.To encourage more girls to do sports.‎ ‎4、    Everyone wants to win,and everybody knows it.Take the case of Olympic athletes,who train hard each day for years to reach the top of their sport and hopefully win a gold medal.Since every competitor,s goal is to win,we assume that the silver medalists would be less happy than gold-medal winners,but still happier than those in third place.Common sense says that our levels of happiness should have something to do with our levels of achievement—except that often this isn’t the case.‎ ‎   Researchers found that bronze medalists actually appeared on the whole to be happier than silver medalists.How could that be? The answer,in a word,is gratitude.Silver medalists,who compared themselves to the gold medalists,experienced disappointment at having been close to winning the I gold,but falling short.The bronze medalists,on the other hand,were thankful to have won a medal at a11,comparing themselves to all those who didn’t even reach the Olympic platform.‎ ‎   If happiness,then,is the aim of life,perhaps our achievement-centered culture is getting it all I backwards.We focus on what we want rather than on what we have.We forget to be grateful,and as a result we forget to be happy.‎ ‎   We’re from a culture that teaches us to envy others—another person’s achievements—and  that is always looking forward to what comes next.Yet in a better society,might we not look at what a11 of our earlier nexts have already earned us?‎ ‎   I encourage any person who struggles with frustration(挫折)in their life to take out a notebook and a pen each evening before bed,and to write down all the things that they feel grateful for.It’s not a cure for dissatisfaction,to be sure,but many people quickly discover that,when they actually stop to think about it,they have things pretty good.‎ ‎   Those bronze medalists,after all,can’t be wrong.‎ ‎1.People usually think that the better an athlete performs,___________. A.the greater their motivation to win is B.the greater their desire to improve is C.the greater their feeling of happiness is D.the greater their need to meet expectation is 2.Why are the bronze medalists happier than silver medalists? A.Because they are more grateful. B.Because they haven’t won before. C.Because they never envy others. D.Because they focus more on desires. 3.What does“nexts”in Paragraph 4 refer to? A.Achievements. B.Frustrations. C.Disappointments. D.Medals. 4.Which of the following best serves as the title? A.No Pains,No Gains B.The Secret of Happiness C.Happiness and Achievements D.Happiness Comes from Gratitude ‎   ‎ ‎5、Garlic ‎   Some people can't stand garlic." That smell is too strong. And it doesn't go away! There's nothing worsethan garlic," they say. ①        Chester Aaron grows eighty-seven kinds of garlic on his farm. He wrote a book called Garlic is life. It seems that people either love garlic or hate it.‎ ‎   ②        The first wild garlic probably grew somewhere in western Russia. Later, travelers carried garlic toChina, Europe, and North Africa. Farmers began planting it over 5000 years ago.‎ ‎  People in many countriesshared similar ideas about garlic. For example, it was believed that garlic made it possible for slaves to workharder and longer. In Greece, the athletes of the first ‎ Olympic Games ate garlic, because they wanted tobecome stronger and faster. ③        In some places, garlic was called "food for lovers" People added it to otherfoods because it tasted good.‎ ‎  People in many cultures ate garlic when they got sick. ④        It was also supplied to help with different kinds of pain.‎ ‎  Is eating garlic actually food for you, or should we just laugh at these old ideas? The truth is, doctors today are telling their patients,"Eat garlic!" Recent research shows that garlic is good for your heart.‎ ‎   ⑤        In many cultures, people trusted garlic to protect them from all kinds of bad luck. Garlic is great,but it can't do that!‎ A. But garlic wasn't only for slaves and athletes.‎ B. It was supposed to make a cold or fever go away.‎ C. In China, people also used garlic to keep meat fresh.‎ D. Maybe you don't know that garlic has a long history.‎ E. Recent research shows that garlic is bad for our health.‎ F. Other people say it tastes great and it's good for you, too.‎ G.However, we can't accept every idea about garlic from the past.‎ ‎6、阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ ‎    Every year,the Olympic Training Centre has one extra special day just for girls and women.This day celebrates the fact that    1    can join in any particular sport they desire,just as    2    as men. ‎ ‎    In the old    3    ,women were told that certain sports were for men    4    ,and that women were forbidden to the    5    .Well,eventually the women of this world decided to strike back,telling    6    else that they weren’t going to put up   7    this form of nonsense any longer.    8     was then that women and men were declared equal    9   to any sports game,regardless of(不管)   10    . ‎ ‎    Tomorrow,this special day will be    11    by all Olympic Centres by offering a free tour as well as planned activities for all the   12    from the neighbouring schools.Since the Olympic Training Centre,here in San Diego,is just a few    13    from where our school is located,we   14    an invitation to this event as well.How wonderful,    15    ,and incredible!
