11、ur answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.(40points)Text 1 Massive changes in all of the worlds deeply cherished sportinghabits are underway.Whether it s one of London s parks full ofpeople playing softball,and Russians taking up rugby,or theSuperbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televisedspectat

12、or event in Britain,the patterns of players and spectatorsare changing beyond recognition.We are witnessing a globalizationof our sporting culture That annual bicycle race,the Tour de France,much loved by theFrench is a good case in point.Just a few years back it was astrictly continental affair wit

13、h France,Belgium and Holland,Spainand Italy taking part.But in recent years it has been dominatedby Colombian mountain climbers,and American and Irish riders.Thepeople who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization.Peugeot,Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporationsthat want wor

14、ldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams.So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficialworld championship become just that.This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we arewitnessing here,one made possible by communications technology,but made to happen because of

15、 marketing considerations.Sell thegame and you can sell Coca Cola or Budweiser as well.The skilful way in which American football has been sold toEurope is a good example of how all sports will develop.The aimof course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake,buttoincreasethenumberofpeople

16、interestedinthemajormoney-making events.The economics of the Superbowl are alreadyastronomical.With seats at US$125,gate receipts alone were astaggering$10 000 000.The most important statistic of the day,however,was the$100 000 000 in TV advertising fees.Imagine howmuch that becomes when the eyes of

17、 the world are watching.So it came as a terrible shock,but not really as a surprise,to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change frombeing a game of two 45-minute halves,to one of four 25-minutequarters.The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertisingrevenue,without giving any

18、thought for the integrity of a sportwhich relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action.Moreover,as sports expand into world markets,and as our choiceof sports as consumers also grows,so we will demand to see themplayed at a higher and higher level.In boxing we have already seennumerous

19、,dubious world title categories because people will notpay to see anything less than a“World Title”fight,and this meansthat the title fights have to be held in different countries aroundthe world!21.Globalization of sporting culture means thatA more people are taking up sports.B traditional sports a

20、re getting popular.C many local sports are becoming international.D foreigners are more interested in local sports.22.Which of the following is NOT related to the massive changes?A Good economic returns.B Revival of traditional games.C Communications technology.D Marketing strategies.23.As is used i

21、n the passage,“globalization”comes closestin meaning toA“commercialization”.B“popularization”.C“speculation”.D“standardization”.24.What is the author s attitude towards the suggestion tochange soccer into one of four 25-minute quarters?A Favorable.B Unclear.C Reserved.D Critical.25.People want to se

22、e higher-level sports competitions mainlybecauseA they become more professional than ever.B they regard sports as consumer goods.C there exist few world-class championships.D sports events are exciting and stimulating.Text 2 Why should anyone buy the latest volume in the ever-expandingDictionary of

23、National Biography?I do not mean that it is bad,asthe reviewers will agree.Butit will cost you 65 pounds.And haveyou got the rest of volumes?You need the basic 22 plus the largelydecennial supplements to bring the total to 31.Of course,it willbe answered,public and academic libraries will want the n

24、ew volume.After all,it adds 1 068 lives of people who escaped the net of theoriginal compilers.Yet in 10 years time a revised version of thewhole caboodle,called the New Dictionary of National Biography,will be published.Its editor,Professor Colin Matthew,tells methat he will have room for about 50

25、000 lives,some 13 000 more thanin the current DNB.This rather puts the 1 068 in Missing Personsin the shade.When Dr.Nicholls wrote to The Spectator in 1989 asking for nameof people whom readers had looked up in the DNB and had beendisappointed not to find,she says that she received some 100 000sugge

26、stions.As soon as her committee had whittled the numbers down,the professional problems of an editor began.Contributors didnt file copy on time;some who did sent too much:50 000 words insteadof 500 is a record,according to Dr.Nicholls.There remains the dinnerparty game of whos in,whos out.That is a

27、game thatthe reviewers have playedand will continue toplay.Criminals were my initial worry.After all,the originaledition of theDNB boasted:malefactors whose crimes excite apermanent interest have received hardly less attention thanbenefactors.Mr.John Gross clearly had similar anxieties,for hecomplai

28、ns that,while the murderer Christie is in,Crippen is out.One might say in reply that the injustice of the hanging of Evansinstead of Christie was a force in the repeal of capital punishmentin Britain.But then Crippen was reputed as the first murderer tobe caught by telegraphy(he had tried to escape

29、by ship to America).It is surprising to find Max Miller excluded when really notvery memorable names get in.There has been a conscious effort toput in artists and architects from the Middle Ages.About theirlives not much is always known.Of Hugo of Bury St Edmunds,a 12th-century illuminator whosedate

30、s of birth and death are not recorded,his biographer comments:Whether or not Hugo was a wall-painter,the records of hisactivitiesascarverandmanuscriptpainterattesttohisversatility.Then there had to be more women,too(12 percent,against the original DBNs 3),such as Roy Strongs subject,theTudor painter Levina Teerlinc,of whom he remarks:Her techniqueremained awkward,thin and often cursory.That doesn t seem toqualify her as a memorable artist.Yet it may be better than therecord of the original DNB,which included lives of people who neverexisted(such as Merlin).
