Another reason for the fact that competitive cheerleading is one of the hardest sports is that it has more reported injuries. According to some research, competitive cheerleading is the number one cause of serious sports injuries to women. Emergency room visits for it are five times the number than for any other sport, partially because cheerleaders don’t use protective equipment. Smiling cheerleaders are thrown into the air and move down into the arms of the teammates, which may easily cause injuries. Generally, these injuries affect all areas of the body, including wrists, shoulders, ankles, head, and neck.
There can be no doubt that competitive cheerleading is a sport with professional skills. Hopefully, it will appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports. It should be noted that it is a team sport and even the smallest mistake made by one teammate can bring the score of the entire team down. So without working together to achieve the goal, first place is out of reach. 32. What is the main purpose of competitive cheerleading? A. To compare skills of participants. B. To make the audience feel amused. C. To attract more people to watch events. D. To cheer up the competitors on the court.
33. The underlined word “integrate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “______”. A. examine B. combine C. identify D. replace
34. We can learn from the passage that competitive cheerleading ______. A. lacks necessary guidelines to follow B. enjoys greater popularity than other sports C. requires more designed actions than gymnastics D. has a relatively high rate of damage to the body
35. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
I: Introduction P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: Conclusion

return this trust. Your friends tell you secrets that no one else knows. Let you share secrets.
