题型:不详难度:来源:
[1] Fishing is probably the world’s most popular sport. People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs. And you can see that fishing can be an expensive pastime. Fishing lovers believe that their hobby is worth it. Others say that fishing is spoiling the environment and that it is a cruel hobby.
[2] Supporters of fishing say that it is a nice hobby. Firstly, of the millions of people who fish for fun, most only catch enough fish to feed their families. They catch fish that are found in large numbers, so there is little danger to the species (种类).
[3] Secondly, recreational fishermen contribute to the economy. They spend money on equipment and other items, and they also spend it indirectly by paying taxes on their equipment and fuel. Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares. This money keeps people in work and provides new jobs each year.
[4] Thirdly, fishing is relaxing and fun so it lessens stress. Instead of turning to drugs or alcohol, it is far better to go fishing. People who are relaxed are generally healthier and much nicer to be near ----- except for the smell of the bait!
[5] Those who _________________ say that there are too many fish thoughtlessly taken from rivers, lakes, streams and oceans. This could lead to the dying out of some species. Modern cars and boats mean that people can fish in remote areas of the world, so no place is safe from greedy fishermen who take both males and females, leaving few fish to produce young.
[6] Those against fishing also say that it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun. Many of the fish caught for sport are not suitable for eating, so they are thrown away. Once hooked, fish have no chance of escape.

答案
小题1:Different views on fishing
小题2:Fishing lovers catch fish found in large numbers
小题3:boats, vehicles, fishing equipment, bait, boat repairs, accommodation and airfares.(列出其中四项即可)
小题4:disagree with fishing (are against fishing)
小题5:A blood sport
解析
【文章大意】户外钓鱼是一种常见运动。有人赞美之,有人抨击之。赞美者称可怡情,可增财税,无灭鱼种之害;抨击者说有血腥,有断鱼类之险。
小题1:文章2--4段阐述户外钓鱼支持者的观点;5—6段提出户外钓鱼反对者的观点。
因此,根据结构可以得知整篇文章大意是和户外钓鱼观点相关。
小题2:第二段指出两个理由:①most only catch enough fish to feed their families.(钓鱼数量不多,够得全家一餐而已。)②They catch fish that are found in large numbers,(鱼量众多者为目标)。当然,主要是第二个做法起重要作用。
小题3:文章第一段提到People spend many dollars each year on items like boats and four-wheel-drive vehicles. In addition, they spend money on fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs.(钓鱼者每年花钱的方面有:boats,four-wheel-drive vehicles fishing equipment, bait, fuel and boat repairs);文章第三段指出Those who travel to fishing spots pay for accommodation (食宿) and airfares.(出外远程钓鱼者需支出accommodation,airfares)
小题4:第五段中谈及…lead to the dying out of some species(导致一些鱼类的灭绝) 和… leaving few fish to produce young.(有很少的鱼类可以繁殖),可以判断该段讲的是反对钓鱼者的观点。再看第六段首句Those against fishing also say that…(那些反对钓鱼者也说……)。由此综合推测答案为disagree with fishing(are against fishing)
小题5:由…it is a blood sport, which means that an animal must die so that a human can have fun.可以分析出该句是一定语主从复合句。which means that …为一非限定性定语从句。?意为“那意味着动物的死亡,人类可以从中得到欢乐。显然是修饰先行词a blood sport。那which关系词指代的是a blood sport。

Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “ 小题1: the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪) 小题2: 24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem, 小题3: created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of 小题4: special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and— 小题5: important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump 小题6: won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested, 小题7: withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce 小题8: a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries. (154 words)
Currently offered by some famous universities, MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education, or who do not have formal qualifications. They also allow participants to study at their own pace.
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast—they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation. They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses, they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education.
However, it is still very early days for MOOCs. The quality of the education provision is highly variable, with many courses offering only recordings of lectures, and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes, research projects or extensive library access. Besides, wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource. Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class.
Considering the challenges, some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate (蒸发). But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education, are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands, and are well worthy of serious consideration.

“Let’s Talk”:The Free Advice Project
A few weeks ago, I took a walk around Washington Square Park. I met all the usual people:street performers, the Pigeon Guy, a group of guitarists singing in harmony. But off to the side, sitting on a bench was a woman doing something vastly different—giving free advice.
A week or two later, I set up an interview with her and we discussed her project at length.
Lisa Podell, 32, started the Free Advice Project this past May. It began as an experiment;she sat in Washington Square Park for a day with a sign that read “Free Advice” as a simple way to reach out to people. Podell was astonished at the strong response.
Podell admits that she was doubtful at first, but now she describes the project as mutually (相互地) beneficial. People learn from her—but she also learns from them. She says that the majority of those who come to her are dealing with some pretty heavy issues, and they expect her not only to listen, but also provide real answers.
Having worked as a full time teacher and now as an adolescent advisor, Podell believes that talking things out is an important in the decision-making process.
Sometimes, people walk around all day, keeping their problems in their own head and thinking about them in the same way. Podell simply strives to provide people with perspective.
I asked if there is a future plan for the Free Advice Project. Podell said she would like to promote it to each public space in New York, which would be carried out by various volunteers across the city.
It was truly inspiring to meet someone with such a big heart, especially in New York—where it is sometimes very hard to find anybody to listen. (303 words)
