The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A.D., the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world's best-known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome's Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city's Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan's desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities(容量) slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still functional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D.P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.
21.How many people could the Circus Maximus hold
A.104,944. B.107,601.
C.About 150,000. D.About 250,000.
22.Of the following stadiums, which is the oldest
A.Michigan Stadium. B.Beaver Stadium.
C.Ohio Stadium. D.Kyle Field.
23.What do the listed stadiums have in common

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What's up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24.What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2
A.Provided shelter for me. B.Became very clear to me.
C.Took the pressure off me. D.Worked quite well on me.
25.Why did the kid poke the storybook
A.He took it for a tablet computer.
B.He disliked the colorful pictures.
C.He was angry with his grandpa.
D.He wanted to read it by himself.
26.What does the author think of himself
A.Socially ambitious. B.Physically attractive.
C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent.
27.What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A.He lacks experience in his job.
B.He seldom appears on television.
C.He manages a video department.
D.He often interviews internet stars.

Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a "keyhole" in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped "keys" to choose from. Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference". In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
28.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A.By following instructions. B.By using a tool.
C.By turning the box around. D.By removing the lid.
29.Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A.Using a key to unlock a door.
B.Telling parrots from other birds.
C.Putting a ball into a round hole.
D.Grouping toys of different shapes.
30.What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A.How far they are able to see.
B.How they track moving objects.
C.Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D.Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
31.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers
B.Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C.Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers
D.Cockatoos: Skilful Shape-Sorters

"Leave her alone." Hans Hubermann entered the fray (争吵). His gentle voice made its way in, as slipping through a crowd. "Leave her to me." He moved closer and sat on the floor, against the wall. The floor was cold and unkind.
"You know how to roll a cigarette " he asked her, and for the next hour or so, they sat in the rising pool of darkness, playing with the tobacco and the cigarette papers and Hans Hubermann smoking them.
When the hour was up, Liesel could roll a cigarette well. She still didn't have a bath.
To most people, Hans Hubermann was barely visible. An un-special person. Certainly, his painting skills were excellent. His musical ability was better than average. Somehow, though, and I'm sure you've met people like this, he was able to appear as merely part of the background, even if he was standing at the front of a line. He was always just there. Not noticeable. Not important or particularly valuable.
The frustration of that appearance, as you can imagine, was completely misleading, let's say. There definitely was value in him, and it did not go unnoticed by Liesel Meminger. (The human child — so much cleverer at times than the stupid adults.) She saw it immediately.
His manner.
The quiet air around him.
When he turned the light on in the small, humble washroom that night, Liesel observed the strangeness of her foster father's (养父) eyes. They were made of kindness, and silver. Like soft silver, melting. Liesel, upon seeing those eyes, understood that Hans Hubermann was worth a lot.
When Liesel finally had a bath, after two weeks of living on Himmel Street, Rosa gave her an enormous tight hug. Nearly choking her, she said, "It's about time!"
After a few months, they were no longer Mr and Mrs Hubermann. With a few typical words, Rosa said, "Now listen, Liesel — from now on you call me Mama." She thought a moment. "What did you call your real mother "
Liesel answered quietly. "Also Mama."
32.What might be the cause of the fray before Hans interrupted it
A.Liesel refused to have a bath.
B.Liesel was annoyed by Rosa's cooking.
C.Liesel wanted to learn how to roll a cigarette.
D.Liesel suffered from living with Hans and Rosa.
33.What did Liesel notice immediately when she met Hans
A.His musical ability. B.His painting skills.
C.His being invisible. D.His personal qualities.
34.Which of the following expressions best describe Liesel
A.Shy and thoughtful. B.Sensitive and clever.
C.Naughty and tough. D.Imaginative and easy-going.
35.What does the underlined sentence "After a few months, they were no longer Mr and Mrs Hubermann."mean
A.Liesel started to call them Hanns and Rosa.
B.Liesel was sent back to her real parents.
C.Liesel adapted herself to the new family.
D.Liesel was used to Rosa's strange manner.

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 36. "A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run," says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. "When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful," says Dr.Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we're short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. 37.
Engage in volunteer work. 38. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. "We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health," adds Sharma. "Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network."
39. A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: "If you're eating a proper breakfast, you're less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices," says Abramson. "We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle." 40.
A. Eat breakfast.
B. But others may not have crossed your mind.
C. Volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
D. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.
E. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F. Eat healthy food rich in protein and fiber but low in fat and sugar
G. Doing good for others helps your self-esteem and relieves stress.

Two days before Christmas, I received a Facebook message from a stranger. "Hi, Peter," it began, "my name is Al Sodaro and I'm a former patient of your Dad."
My father was a doctor, and Al wanted to share holiday greetings and a childhood story involving a talk he'd had with Dad. Over the years I've received many such messages, or had people ask me if I was related to Dr. Zheutlin, or Dr. Z as he was well known in my New Jersey hometown. A story of grace or kindness would always follow.
When he was diagnosed (诊断) with lung cancer in 1997 and realized he was going to have to close his practice of more than 40 years, Dad asked me to help him draft(草拟) a letter to his patients. He was heartbroken. "I think I need my patients more than they need me," he told me.
We had the letters copied and mailed them out the old-fashioned way. He was completely unprepared for the outpouring of love and appreciation that followed. He was just doing his job, he said.
The cards and letters-hundreds of them-came from near and far. Young children sent drawings, many recalling their past with my father, or enclosed a lollipop (棒棒糖). Some came from parents who had been his patients when they were young. Some were several pages long, filled with stories about the doctor who, above all, showed kindness, answering their calls in the middle of the night or meeting them in the office before sunrise.
Sometimes his greatest gift was his ability to simply reduce their anxiety. At other times, he recognized rare but serious symptoms (due to his clinical excellence) where quick thinking avoided disaster. Many of the cards and letters contained stories like Al Sodaro's. There was one, however, that is still fresh in my mind, which I shared at his standing-room-only memorial service.
When he was quite young, a little boy named Chris Eckershard came to the office, proud of a new pair of sneakers he was wearing.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Dad asked Chris if he could have one, just one, of Chris's sneakers(运动鞋).
……
The box came from a woman, who was Chris's mother.
【答案】Dad asked Chris if he could have one, just one, of Chris's sneakers. I imagine at first Chris was confused, but then understood Dad was gently joking with him. By the time Dad was dying, Chris was about 12 and the sneaker joke had been ongoing for years. Every time he came to the office, Dad would ask him for one of his shoes. A week before Dad died, a small box arrived in the mail and inside was a single well-worn sneaker. It remains a cherished possession in our family.
The box came from a woman, who was Chris's mother. Hearing the news of Dad's death, she drove all the way to the funeral home to tell us something. She was a single, working mom raising Chris on a tight budget, and had no health insurance. She wanted us to know that for years, Dad refused to take a penny from her. Dad never told us such stories as these. He did these things not because he wanted others to think better of him, but because he believed what mattered most in the world was kindness.

We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new. For them, it's just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday. I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures — a perfect match for his age.
Picture this: my grandson sitting on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes (戳) the page with his finger.
What's up with that He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder. I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
There's one notable gap in my new-media experience, however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, grandpa is now an internet star — two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
24.What do the underlined words "hit home for me" mean in paragraph 2
A.Provided shelter for me. B.Became very clear to me.
C.Took the pressure off me. D.Worked quite well on me.
25.Why did the kid poke the storybook
A.He took it for a tablet computer.
B.He disliked the colorful pictures.
C.He was angry with his grandpa.
D.He wanted to read it by himself.
26.What does the author think of himself
A.Socially ambitious. B.Physically attractive.
C.Financially independent. D.Digitally competent.
27.What can we learn about the author as a journalist
A.He lacks experience in his job.
B.He seldom appears on television.
C.He manages a video department.
D.He often interviews internet stars.

Goffin's cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the box had a "keyhole" in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped "keys" to choose from. Inserting the correct "key" would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes. This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will fit is called an "allocentric frame of reference". In the experiment, Goffin's cockatoos were able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that Goffin's cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in space, similar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos rely entirely on visual clues (线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape selections.
28.How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment
A.By following instructions. B.By using a tool.
C.By turning the box around. D.By removing the lid.
29.Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text
A.Using a key to unlock a door.
B.Telling parrots from other birds.
C.Putting a ball into a round hole.
D.Grouping toys of different shapes.
30.What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos
A.How far they are able to see.
B.How they track moving objects.
C.Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D.Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
31.Which can be a suitable title for the text
A.Cockatoos: Quick Error Checkers
B.Cockatoos: Independent Learners
C.Cockatoos: Clever Signal-Readers
D.Cockatoos: Skilful Shape-Sorters

"Leave her alone." Hans Hubermann entered the fray (争吵). His gentle voice made its way in, as slipping through a crowd. "Leave her to me." He moved closer and sat on the floor, against the wall. The floor was cold and unkind.
"You know how to roll a cigarette " he asked her, and for the next hour or so, they sat in the rising pool of darkness, playing with the tobacco and the cigarette papers and Hans Hubermann smoking them.
When the hour was up, Liesel could roll a cigarette well. She still didn't have a bath.
To most people, Hans Hubermann was barely visible. An un-special person. Certainly, his painting skills were excellent. His musical ability was better than average. Somehow, though, and I'm sure you've met people like this, he was able to appear as merely part of the background, even if he was standing at the front of a line. He was always just there. Not noticeable. Not important or particularly valuable.
The frustration of that appearance, as you can imagine, was completely misleading, let's say. There definitely was value in him, and it did not go unnoticed by Liesel Meminger. (The human child — so much cleverer at times than the stupid adults.) She saw it immediately.
His manner.
The quiet air around him.
When he turned the light on in the small, humble washroom that night, Liesel observed the strangeness of her foster father's (养父) eyes. They were made of kindness, and silver. Like soft silver, melting. Liesel, upon seeing those eyes, understood that Hans Hubermann was worth a lot.
When Liesel finally had a bath, after two weeks of living on Himmel Street, Rosa gave her an enormous tight hug. Nearly choking her, she said, "It's about time!"
After a few months, they were no longer Mr and Mrs Hubermann. With a few typical words, Rosa said, "Now listen, Liesel — from now on you call me Mama." She thought a moment. "What did you call your real mother "
Liesel answered quietly. "Also Mama."
32.What might be the cause of the fray before Hans interrupted it
A.Liesel refused to have a bath.
B.Liesel was annoyed by Rosa's cooking.
C.Liesel wanted to learn how to roll a cigarette.
D.Liesel suffered from living with Hans and Rosa.
33.What did Liesel notice immediately when she met Hans
A.His musical ability. B.His painting skills.
C.His being invisible. D.His personal qualities.
34.Which of the following expressions best describe Liesel
A.Shy and thoughtful. B.Sensitive and clever.
C.Naughty and tough. D.Imaginative and easy-going.
35.What does the underlined sentence "After a few months, they were no longer Mr and Mrs Hubermann."mean
A.Liesel started to call them Hanns and Rosa.
B.Liesel was sent back to her real parents.
C.Liesel adapted herself to the new family.
D.Liesel was used to Rosa's strange manner.

As much as 80 percent of premature heart disease is preventable by making specific lifestyle choices. Some strategies, such as exercising and managing weight, are well known. 36. "A small change in your everyday routine can potentially have a big impact in the 1ong run," says preventive cardiologist (心脏病学家) Dr. Beth Abramson, a spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada.
Get eight hours of sleep. "When you're not rested, everything that happens in your life is a lot more stressful," says Dr.Arya Sharma, founder of the Canadian Obesity Network. If we're short of sleep, our bodies also have more difficulty controlling blood pressure, inflammation (炎症) and blood sugar levels. 37.
Engage in volunteer work. 38. Research published in Psychosomatic Medicine in 2016 showed that a feeling of purpose in 1ife is linked to a lower likelihood of heart attack and stroke. "We know that loneliness is a risk factor for heart health," adds Sharma. "Volunteering gets you out of the house and creates a social network."
39. A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that healthy people who skipped breakfast were almost three times more likely to have heart disease six years later than those who had a substantial morning meal. One possible reason: "If you're eating a proper breakfast, you're less likely to be hungry later and make poor food choices," says Abramson. "We need to eat a balanced diet as part of a healthy lifestyle." 40.
A. Eat breakfast.
B. But others may not have crossed your mind.
C. Volunteering might even increase your physical activity.
D. These factors can all have an impact on heart and blood health.
E. Choose whole-grain, low-fat breakfast foods and include fruit.
F. Eat healthy food rich in protein and fiber but low in fat and sugar

Two days before Christmas, I received a Facebook message from a stranger. "Hi, Peter," it began, "my name is Al Sodaro and I'm a former patient of your Dad."
My father was a doctor, and Al wanted to share holiday greetings and a childhood story involving a talk he'd had with Dad. Over the years I've received many such messages, or had people ask me if I was related to Dr. Zheutlin, or Dr. Z as he was well known in my New Jersey hometown. A story of grace or kindness would always follow.
When he was diagnosed (诊断) with lung cancer in 1997 and realized he was going to have to close his practice of more than 40 years, Dad asked me to help him draft(草拟) a letter to his patients. He was heartbroken. "I think I need my patients more than they need me," he told me.
We had the letters copied and mailed them out the old-fashioned way. He was completely unprepared for the outpouring of love and appreciation that followed. He was just doing his job, he said.
The cards and letters-hundreds of them-came from near and far. Young children sent drawings, many recalling their past with my father, or enclosed a lollipop (棒棒糖). Some came from parents who had been his patients when they were young. Some were several pages long, filled with stories about the doctor who, above all, showed kindness, answering their calls in the middle of the night or meeting them in the office before sunrise.
Sometimes his greatest gift was his ability to simply reduce their anxiety. At other times, he recognized rare but serious symptoms (due to his clinical excellence) where quick thinking avoided disaster. Many of the cards and letters contained stories like Al Sodaro's. There was one, however, that is still fresh in my mind, which I shared at his standing-room-only memorial service.
When he was quite young, a little boy named Chris Eckershard came to the office, proud of a new pair of sneakers he was wearing.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Dad asked Chris if he could have one, just one, of Chris's sneakers(运动鞋).
……
The box came from a woman, who was Chris's mother.

66.【答案】Our School Sports Festival, which is held every two years ,took place last weekend. Well-trained athletes from different classes participated in all the activities , where they devoted themselves to achieving sporting excellence. One person who/that should be applauded was Jessica from Class Four. Though she fell heavily onto the ground and got hurt when taking part in the 3,000-metre race, she kept running and finally.The Sports Festival brought joy and excitement to all of us . And we are all looking forward to the next one.
67.【答案】Dad asked Chris if he could have one, just one, of Chris's sneakers. I imagine at first Chris was confused, but then understood Dad was gently joking with him. By the time Dad was dying, Chris was about 12 and the sneaker joke had been ongoing for years. Every time he came to the office, Dad would ask him for one of his shoes. A week before Dad died, a small box arrived in the mail and inside was a single well-worn sneaker. It remains a cherished possession in our family.
The box came from a woman, who was Chris's mother. Hearing the news of Dad's death, she drove all the way to the funeral home to tell us something. She was a single, working mom raising Chris on a tight budget, and had no health insurance. She wanted us to know that for years, Dad refused to take a penny from her. Dad never told us such stories as these. He did these things not because he wanted others to think better of him, but because he believed what mattered most in the world was kindness.
