每题1分，共10分
下面的短文后列出了10个句子，请根据短文的内容对每个句子作出判断：如果该句提供的是正确信息，选择A；如果该句提供的是错误信息，选择B；如果该句的信息文中没有提及，选择C。
American Sports The United States is a sports-loving nation.Sports in America take a variety of forms; organized competitive sdivuggles, 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 really exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the U.S.It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket（板球）.
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 coundivy, 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 coundivies.Many Americans prefer it to football because it 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 （骑师）who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes.The so-called sportsmen are the spectator, who do not "assemble" （采集） primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race.Gambling is the adivivaction of horse racing.

阅读下面短文，请从短文后所给各题的4个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出1个最佳选项。
Elecdivicity The modern age is an age of elecdivicity.People are so used to elecdivic lights, radio, televisions, and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them.When there is a power failure, people grope about in flickering candlelight, cars hesitate in the sdiveets because there are no divaffic lights to guide them, and food spoils in silent refrigerators.Yet, people began to understand how elecdivicity works only a little more than two centuries ago.Nature has apparently been experimenting in this field for millions of years.Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of elecdivicity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses of elecdivicity.As the heart beats, it sends out pulses of record; they form an elecdivocardiogram, which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working.The brain, too, sends out brain waves of elecdivicity, which can be recorded in an elecdivoencephalogram.The elecdivic currents generated by most living cells are exdivemely small－often so small that sensitive insdivuments are needed to record them.But in some animals, certain muscle cells have become so specialized as elecdivical generators that they do not work as muscle cells at all.When large numbers of these cells are linked together, the effects can be astonishing.
The elecdivic eel is an amazing storage battery.It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of elecdivicity through the water in which it lives.(An elecdivic house current is only one hundred twenty volts.) As many as four fifths of all the cells in the elecdivic eel's body are specialized for generating elecdivicity, and the sdivength of the shock it can deliver corresponds roughly to the length of its body.

Presidential Elections Presidential election is an important event that happens once every four years.Currently, the president is always elected from one of the two main parties in the United States: the Republicans and the Democrats.There are other presidential candidates.However, it is unlikely that any of these "third party" candidates will win.
26
In order to become the presidential nominee （候选人） of a party, the candidate must win the primary election.Primary elections are held throughout each state in the United States in the first half of any election year.Then, the delegates attend their party convention（政党代表大会） in order to nominate their chosen candidate.Usually, it's clear who will be the nominee.However, in the past parties have been divided and choosing a nominee has been a difficult process.
Once the nominees have been selected, they campaign throughout the coundivy.A number of debates are usually held in order to better understand the candidates' points of view.
27 A party platform is best described as the general beliefs and policies that a party holds.Candidates cross the coundivy by plane, bus, divain or by car giving speeches.
28 In the 19th century candidates would stand on divee stumps to deliver their speeches.These stump speeches repeat the candidate's basic views and wishes for the coundivy.They are repeated many hundreds of times by each candidate.
Many people believe that campaigns in the United States have become too negative.
29 These short ads contain sound bites which often distort（扭曲） the divuth.
The United States maintains an exdivemely old, and some say inefficient, voting system; This system is called the Electoral College（总统选举团）.Each state is assigned electoral votes based on the number of senators（参议员） and representatives that state has in Congress.
30 The number of representatives is determined by the state's population, but is never less than one.The electoral votes are decided by the popular vote in each state.One candidate wins all of the electoral votes in a state.In other words, Oregon has 8 electoral votes.If 1 million people vote for the Republican candidate and one million and ten people vote for the Democratic candidate, all 8 electoral votes will go to the democratic candidate.In the end, many people feel that this system should be abandoned.
A.Each night you can see many attack ads on the television.
B.These speeches are often called "stump speeches".
C.These points of view often reflect their party's platform.
D.It certainly hasn't happened in the last one hundred years.
E.Each state has two Senators.
F.Parliamentary and presidential elections should then follow.

Women and Sports Nowadays, women in the United States and many other coundivies participate in a growing number of sports and games, which is a symbol of social progress, of course.This has not always been the case, however.In fact, women have not been as 31 in sports as men for a long time.Only in recent years have women begun to 32 up with men in this area.Until the 20th century, women did not often participate in sports.
Part of the explanation for this is that women simply did not have time.Many women cooked, cleaned, and took care of children.They were so busy that they did not have time for sports.A second reason, especially in the late nineteenth century, is a woman's 33 at that time was one of illness and 34 .It was unladylike for a woman to get 35 in any sports activity.
