Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes) Task l

Many sports need the services of one or more referees. You will find, for example, referees in swimming, diving competitions, football, skating, basketball, and tennis, among others. The referee's judgment, no matter what the sport is, can make the difference between winning and losing.

When a decision is announced, one can often hear loud cheering from the watchers. Sometimes the people don’t agree with the decision. Usually however, no matter what the people think, the decision of the judge is final. With the instant replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments, Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions? Some people think so. The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time.

In Japan, where sumo wrestling (相扑) is thought by many to be the national sport, a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayama's record of 69 victories. in the 46th match, Futabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestler's foot leave the circle.

Soon after the mistake, the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $375 for a side seat. Now cameras record the actions of the wrestlers. The camera is the most important referee of all. If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgment, the camera will correct it, and the instant replay will let everyone know it. The right winner will win. 36. The passage is mainly about

A) how wrestling is played in Japan B) using a camera as referee

C) watching matches on television D) why sumo wrestling is fun 37. In most sports, the referee

A) doesn't count much B) gets too much pay C) can't see all the actions D) makes the final decision

38. According to the passage, a poor decision from the referee A) Can result in the wrong winner B) is usually declared invalid C) almost never happens

D) will always be found out

39 We can tell from the passage that sumo wrestling A) is played on a race track

B) is formed by teams of nine or ten

C) is a contest between two sportsmen D) is very popular in the world

40. In the match described in the last two paragraphs, the wrestler Taiho tried to A) win the match quickly B) help Futabayama win C) cheat the referee D) break a record Task2

It is chiefly a matter of custom. Our faces, exposed to cold, do get cold, but they do not feel cold because the nerves by which we feel cold are accustomed to this state of affairs and take no notice of it.

In face, all nerves act in this way: messages travel along them only when there is a change in the usual condition of the body. We tolerate, without noticing them, certain degrees of cold to which we are accustomed in our face and hands: but we actually feel that our feet are cold if we expose them. Yet people who are accustomed to bare feet feel no more and suffer no more from them than we do from bare hands. On a winter day we may not notice that our noses and eartips(耳垂) are cold, Even when they are quite cold. You soon find that they are if you put a warm hand against them. There is a tremendous difference between being cold and feeling; cold.

This law about custom, and the way in which nerves are affected by it, also explains many other things-for Instance, why the country man cannot at first sleep in the town on account of the noise, while the townsman often Cannot sleep in the country on account of the silence. At last, however, the country man gets used to the noise and the townsman gets used to the silence, and both sleep soundly.

41. Exposed to cold our faces do not feel cold because A) the nerves in the face do not work B) our faces have fewer nerves

C) our faces have got used to the cold D) the usual body condition has changed 42: When our hands are exposed to cold A) we feel cold at once

B) we may not feel cold at all

C) we have to Warm them up at once D) we do not need to care about them

43. From the passage we can learn the degree of cold we can tolerate A) is related to the general weather condition B) has to do with the place we stay in C) depends on the way our nerves work

D) relies on the traveling of coldness along our nerves 44. The word \ A) the temperature change

B) the body condition

C) the information about cold D) the conditions of our nerves 45. From the passage we know that

A) bare-footed people do not feel cold on a winter day B) custom plays an important role in our everyday life C) our noses are not sensitive to cold at all

D) country men do not mind the noise in big cities Task 3
