English culturethe football.A lot of people in England are crazy about football.During the football season whenever there is a big match,all the flags for local football teams,such as Liverpool and Newcastle,are hung outside every window,or even spread proudly on T-shirts or scarves.There is an atmosphere of excitement in the air.Groups of young men crowd into dark,packed pubs staring at television screens.Of course they are covered head to toe in the colours of their team.They shout and scream in sadness when their team loses a goal,or with joy when there is a moment of success.You do not have to be a fan of football to get caught up in the excitement.As far as victories are concerned,England had its big moment in 1966 in Wembley Stadium.The World Cup victory is in the hearts and minds of all football fans.Now,whenever England is playing a big match,red and white covers every inch of every pub,a symbol of hopethe English flag.While football has never been something I am particularly interested in,for years,Ive had to pretend excitement and pick a team to support.You cannot say you dont like or do not follow football in England,as often this would lead to a long dialogue in which someone would begin telling you why you should support their team.18.Where do young men go to watch big games according to Jeff?A.Pubs.B.Stadiums.C.Friends homes.答案A19.Why does Jeff have to pick a team to support?A.To avoid being bothered.B.To open a conversation.C.To earn respect from others.答案A20.What does Jeff mainly talk about?A.Englands moment of success.B.English flag as a symbol of hope.C.Englands all-time favourite sport.答案C第二部分阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。AAaptivDownload Aaptiv,take a quick fitness quiz about your goals,and
