for playing in a sports team?That you wereable to fillstadiums with peoplecoming to see youplay?That you could attract fanscrazily like a superstar?ESports have made all that possible and more.The fever forvideo games has had a great influence on the sports industry.To what degree ESports,or electronic sports can be considered a sport remainsa question.If we stick to the meaning in the dictionary,sport is understood to beany physical activity,whether a game or competition,that requires training andfollowing rules.A second meaning is:all kinds of physical activities are done forhealth or for fun.Spending hours and hours in front of a computer or with a mobile phone in handplaying video games is not a physical activity.But when the voices that defend itbelong to famous athletes,and when the International Olympic Committee itself is,seriously thinking about the possibility of introducing eSports in the 2020 OlympicGames,it is at least worth considering the argument.It is clear that eSports has had a big influence on the sports industry and itsfans are increasing all the time.Athletes,sports teams,sponsors(赞助商)inside andoutside the sport,and the media support the industry greatly,which attracts andsatisfies the young generation.Professional video game competitions have made nearly$900 million over the past three years thanks to sponsorship and advertising.Theindustry is expected to make over$1.1 billion and reach 215 million users in 2019,according to a study by the consultant Newzoo.The big players in the eSports leagues have turned their hobby into a professionwhich offers a chance to gain fame or become famous.Those guys who distance themselvesfrom the world,shutting themselves up for up to 12 hours a day in a dark room to connectwith people from all over the planet through a video game,now fill large stadiumsand compete for prizes that are over one million dollars.They are the envy of halfthe planet!As a famous NBA superstar,Shaquille ONeal says“the fans themselves are the坚持就是胜利！2020 高一英语阶段检测ones who opened my eyes.ESports are a great business chance and the industry cannotbe left out.”While millions of dollars are paid around the world for these new idols,we cancontinue to argue whether they are sports or not.If only for fun4.Which is right according to the passage?A.ESports attract all people for the prizes.B.ESports have no clear effect on business.C.ESports have little influence on the sports industry.D.ESports are different from the sports people traditionally consider.5.Why do the big players in the eSports become the envy of half the planet?A.They shut themselves up for up to 12 hours a day,playing video games.B.They have turned their hobby into a profession,earning fame and wealth.C.They can connect with people from all over the planet through a video game.D.They have got support from famous athletes and the International Olympic Committee.6.Whats the best title of the passage?A.Esports:a way to wealthC.Esports:a meaningful sport【答案】4.D 5.B 6.BC“Why do I live?Why do I wish for anything,or do anything?Is there anythingin my life that will not be destroyed by my death?”These are the words of the famous Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.Like Tolstoy,manypeople ask these difficult questions.And they struggle to find meaning in their life.Tolstoy spent his whole life trying to answer difficult questions like these.Hissearch for answers influenced his writing.On August 28th,1828,Leo Tolstoy was born in the country of Russia.As a child,Tolstoy was a member of the Russian Catholic Church.But as a youngman,he began to question that faith.Tolstoy wanted to make his own moral decisions;he was tired of being told what to believe.He thought people could achieve a degreeof perfection if they tried hard enough.So he worked very hard at being the best ineverything he did.He thought that he would find meaning and truth in success.坚持就是胜利！B.Esports:sport or businessD.Esports:a great opportunity2020 高一英语阶段检测In the 1850s,LeoTolstoy wrote his first stories.He wrote about his experiencesin the army.He also told stories about when he was a child.These works were publishedand Tolstoy became a well-known writer.Tolstoy was finally successful.He earned the respect he always wanted.Manywealthy and intelligent men met and talked with Tolstoy.Some of the men were writerslike him.They talked a lot about faith and the meaning of life.But soon Tolstoyrecognized that these men were not perfect.Now he knew they could not answer hisquestions about faith.So in the 1860s,Tolstoy tried a different way to find meaning.He opened a schoolfor the children of his serfs the people who worked on his land.These workers werevery poor.He wanted to help them because he thought they were more honest than thewealthy people he knew.Tolstoy learned many things from his workers.He respected how they worked hardto provide for their families.He began to believe that marriage and family would givehis life meaning.So in 1862,Leo Tolstoy married a young woman named Sonya Behrs.The next 15 years were thebest years of Tolstoys life.It was during this timethat he wrote his most famous books-War and Peace and Anna Karenina.Many literatureexperts say that War and Peace is one of the greatest books ever written.Both War and Peace and Anna Karenina communicate Tolstoys beliefs about theRussian nation,church and people.They also communicate what he thought was the answerto all his questions.Tolstoy believed humans were supposed to live a simple life andtake care of their families.Tolstoy thought this would satisfy him and bring himhappiness.Leo Tolstoy is still a very respected writer today.His faith and writings haveinfluenced many people.Tolstoys search for the meaning of life is something everyonecan understand.His teachings still interest people all over the world.7.Which shows the correct order of the following events?Tolstoy served in the armyTolstoy
