Americans are getting ready for the biggest soccer event in the world. For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game around the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.
The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year' s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.
Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games sim- ilar to soccer.
Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modem soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early soccer games also differed from those we have today.

The cohesiveness(內(nèi)聚力 ) of a family seems to rely on members sharing certain routine prac- tices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours--what we here call "shift work"--makes the lives of families difficult.
Existing re.search shows that both male and female shift workers express high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do "whatever it takes" to approximate their view of a proper marriage,in- cluding sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is character- ized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are "providers" whose major responsibility is to sup- port the family ;wives arc "homemakers" who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children.
The women's definitions of a "good husband" are typified by the following wife's response:
I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same things as he would expect out of me,expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speak- ing, wben it' s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything.To husbands,a good wife is someone who is:
Understanding of what I feel go through at work. I need that respect at work,I hope I get it al work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don' t want her to give me a lot of shil when I come home from work because I don' t know if this makes much sense.
These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift workers.
31. Despite , shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life.
[ A ] traditional beliefs about marriage
[ B ] Jack of control over time
[ C ] a very clear division of roles
[ D ] the demands of work
32. From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with
[A] their work
[ B ] their children
[ C ] their husbands' inability to protect the family and provide companionship
[D] leisure activities
33. What is implied by the author?
[ A 1 Shift work had a direct effect on the attitudes and behavior of family members.
[ B ] Shift workers could live a normal life.
[ C] Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage.
[ D ] Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families.
34. In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers,
[ A] wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent
[ B ] shift work couples must administer their time and activities
[ C ] wives mustn' t adapt their own feelings of boredom to their husbands'
[ D ] all of thesework
35. The best title for this paragraph is
[ A ] Constructing Family Life
[ B ] Managing Time and Activities
[ C ] The Meaning of Marriage
[ D ] Living a Normal Life

美國(guó)準(zhǔn)備著迎接世界上最大的足球盛宴，他們有史以來(lái)第一次承辦了世界杯。當(dāng)全世界有數(shù)以百萬(wàn)計(jì)的人在踢足球時(shí)，這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)在關(guān)國(guó)才剛剛火熱起來(lái)。大批美國(guó)青年人對(duì)足球感興趣還是最近30年的事。但現(xiàn)在它是美國(guó)發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動(dòng)。一項(xiàng)最近的調(diào)查顯示大約有一千八百萬(wàn)的美國(guó)青年男女踢足球。
這項(xiàng)調(diào)查同樣表明，足球已經(jīng)開(kāi)始代替更多的傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)，比如橄欖球，成為學(xué)生當(dāng)中最流行的運(yùn)動(dòng)。因此，世界杯下周開(kāi)賽時(shí)預(yù)計(jì)去看球的美國(guó)人超過(guò)一百萬(wàn)。主辦方聲稱這一屆的世界杯會(huì)成為歷史上最盛大的一屆。52場(chǎng)比賽中大部分場(chǎng)次的座位已全部售完。
足球在美國(guó)僅僅有一百多年的歷史，但這項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)是怎樣流傳到這個(gè)國(guó)家的?足球在世界其他地方存在多久了?沒(méi)有人確切地知道足球是從哪里起源或是人們從什么時(shí)候開(kāi)始踢足球。某些科學(xué)家表示，有證據(jù)證明用腳玩的球類運(yùn)動(dòng)幾千年前就有了。現(xiàn)在也有證據(jù)顯示古希臘、古羅馬和美國(guó)土著印第安人玩類似于足球的運(yùn)動(dòng)。
大部分專家都承認(rèn)英國(guó)是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)源地，他們同樣也認(rèn)為英國(guó)把足球傳播到了世界各地。不同的是，現(xiàn)在比賽中用的足球是人造材料或是皮革質(zhì)地，而過(guò)去使用的球常常是用動(dòng)物的胃做的。早期足球比賽的規(guī)則也與現(xiàn)在有所不同。
答案及解析
26.c【解析】是非題。見(jiàn)文中第一段第五旬提到，足球在美國(guó)是發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動(dòng)，但沒(méi)有說(shuō)在世界范圍內(nèi)是發(fā)展最快的運(yùn)動(dòng)。故選C。
27.B 【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見(jiàn)第二段第一句，“…soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students.”可知“American football”是在青少年中最為流行的傳統(tǒng)運(yùn)動(dòng)。故選B。
28.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見(jiàn)第三段第一句話。
29.B【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。見(jiàn)最后一段第一句，英國(guó)是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明者。
30.B【精析】推理題。文中最后一段講述了英國(guó)足球是現(xiàn)代足球的發(fā)明國(guó)，接下來(lái)就應(yīng)該介紹一下足球在英國(guó)的發(fā)展才符合邏輯。故選B。

一個(gè)家庭的內(nèi)聚力似乎要依靠家庭成員們一起做一些常規(guī)的事情來(lái)維系。然而由于美國(guó)勞動(dòng)力人數(shù)的增多，在非正常工作時(shí)間的輪班工作，也就是我們通常所說(shuō)的“換班工作”，使家庭生活面臨困境。
現(xiàn)有的調(diào)查表明男性和女性的倒班工人都承認(rèn)壓力很大，工作和家庭生活的需求相互沖突。但是，從事?lián)Q班工作的夫婦們?nèi)匀槐３种鴮?duì)婚姻的意義和夫妻各自責(zé)任的傳統(tǒng)觀念。他們表示仍然愿意“不惜一切代價(jià)”實(shí)現(xiàn)他們認(rèn)為正常的婚姻生活，譬如犧牲睡眠時(shí)間或是在非常規(guī)的時(shí)間去做一些慣例的事情。大多數(shù)接受采訪的夫婦，甚至是那些妻子在外工作的家庭都認(rèn)為，正常家庭生活的顯著特點(diǎn)還是清楚的分工：丈夫是家庭的“支撐者”，他們主要的責(zé)任是養(yǎng)活全家，而妻子仍然是“主婦”。她們負(fù)責(zé)打掃、做飯、照顧丈夫和孩子。
以下是一個(gè)妻子對(duì)“好丈夫”的定義，這代表了所有女人的看法：
我希望他能養(yǎng)家。在我需要的時(shí)候陪在我身邊，和我熱衷于相同的事物。希望他也愿意支配我，就像我期望的那樣。這么說(shuō)吧，在需要他表現(xiàn)得像個(gè)男人的時(shí)候，我希望他挺身而出，而不是坐視不管，卻想讓我去處理一切。
丈夫們眼中的好妻子是這樣的：
她要理解我在工作中的感受。我需要在工作時(shí)受尊重，我希望能在工作中找到受尊重的感覺(jué)。我要我的妻子明白我對(duì)工作的期望。我可不想每天下班回家的時(shí)候，她嘮叨個(gè)沒(méi)完洇為我也不知道這是否有意義。 以上的觀點(diǎn)對(duì)于維護(hù)那些輪班工作的夫妻家庭是至關(guān)重要的。
