25 I was carefully packing the car, the Sunday baseball game came on.

There, 32 we found the Cardinals losing 3—1. “How come? They won the champion last season.” He whispered with doubt. “That’s fine,” I 33 , wanting so much to keep this last moment before he left. “Let’s watch anyway.”

Then came a 34 . The Cardinals took the lead. In that one moment we were 35 , excitedly jumping up and down and experiencing a joy that I could 36 imagine happening on that bittersweet afternoon.

第二部分：阅读理解（第一节20小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分）

第一节??阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答 题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

In the gym of Croxteth Community School, Liverpool, 50 boys have completed a course on boxing that is seen as a pilot for its return to state schools.

The Schools Amateur Boxing Association (SABA) has developed the Kid Gloves scheme (方 案），a -non-contact (非接触)version of the sport where outside coaches teach a range of basic skills.

Chris Andrews, assistant secretary of the SABA, said the scheme was regarded as a way of changing the decline in boxing in state schools which began 25 years ago.

Safety fears and the poor image of professional boxing had accelerated the sport’s decline. Concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer Bradley Stone. But the Croxteth example was winning more supporters. Mr. Andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of England.

“The interest shown so far has been enormous,” he said. “I believe that boxing will come back into schools. A video has been produced to promote boxing in schools, and a bid has been made for a Sports Council grant (拨款）.”

He said, “I think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really are very beneficial for children. This scheme takes away the dangers. I hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated way.” Such an idea horrifies such groups as the British Medical Association (BMA) and the British Safety Council, both critics of the idea.

Dr Jeffrey Cundy, the joint author of a BMA report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in Liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. He said, “We feel that children should still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.”

He added, “There is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. We see this reintroduction in schools as an unhealthy development.”

At the 800-pupil Croxteth school, Steve Stewart, head of PE, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. Everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scratch, the improvements could be quickly seen.

Certificates were presented to the pupils at the end of the course by Paul Hodgkinson, a local boxer who is a former world champion. Next year, the course will be repeated and if possible girls will be allowed to take part following requests from them.

Gerry Thompson and Tony Curry, both 12，have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “I thought it was brilliant,” said Gerry. “I would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. It’s more enjoyable?”

41.What’s the present situation of the Croxteth school boxing course?

A.It’s declining due to the safety worries.

B.Girls can be admitted as long as they’re willing to.

C.It’s becoming increasingly popular among the children.

D.Some pupils have been trained to be world champions.

42.Dr. Cundy’s attitude towards the return of boxing to schools can be described as .

A. supportive B. unconcerned C, disapproving D. objective

43.The Kid Gloves scheme is developed by SABA primarily to .

A.provide more fun for students

B.encourage students to be better-behaved

C.help students gain a sense of achievement

D.promote the boxing course in a less dangerous way

44.The underlined part “all were starting from scratch” probably means .

A.starting the course was difficult

B.scratching was the first step to learn boxing

C.students would easily get hurt during the course

D.everyone was inexperienced and started from the very beginning

45.In which section of a newspaper can we most likely read the passage?

A.Lifestyle B. Education C. Science D. Business

B

Below are the latest books I’d like to recommend:

Title: Zero to One

Subtitle: Notes on Startups, or How to Build the Future Author: Peter Thiel

“Doing what someone else already knows how to do takes the world from 1 to n, adding more of something familiar. But when you do something new, you go from 0 to 1.” This excerpt vividly sums up the concept of Thiers book. The next Bill Gates will not build an operating system, for progress comes from the most important skill: Learning to think for yourself.

This bestseller is welcomed by the startup community as it offers precious advice on what to consider and what to avoid before moving forward. Additionally, the author offers his philosophy on business, which helps the reader generate new ideas he or she may not have considered previously.
