certainly not! do the argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved that most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? not really. but it’s known that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best. ( ) 6. what is the writer’s main purpose in the passage? to explain the role of sport. b. to compare scotland with argentina. c. to show that argentina is better than all others. to prove that football is the world’s most important sport. ( ) 7. according to the passage, argentina is world famous because of its ____. a.clear position on the map b. successes in the football world cup c.excellence at all important sports d. large number of sports fans and supporters ( ) 8. according to the passage, if a sportsman thinks about winning, he will ____. a. be irrational b. be successful c. fail to succeed d. lose enjoyment ( ) 9. what is the writer’s attitude towards international games? nations that meet on football are unlikely to meet on a battle field. nations that win in international games prove best on the sports field at least. nations that win the football world cup are considered as best in all ways. nations that give much attention to international competitions are world-famous in many ways. ( ) 10. from this passage, we can infer that ____. a. we should learn from england b.we should play football only for fun, not for fame c. we should learn from argentina d. we should give chances for other countries to win the world cup c 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 the taj mahal shah jahan finished building taj mahal in 1648. he was a rich and powerful emperor, and he built the taj mahal as a memorial for his wife. 11__ the word “taj” means crown, “mahal” was the name of his wife. twenty thousand people worked for 18 years to complete this beautiful domed(圆顶屋) building. a thousand elephants carried huge stones and jewels from all over india and central asia to the taj. shah jahan wanted this memorial to be a burial place for himself and his wife. the taj mahal is on the yamuna river in agra in northern india. 12__ its picture is in most travel books and brochures. it is open daily from sunrise to sunset. for about fifteen rupees (or about us$0.33), anyone can enter this peaceful and quiet place. as you enter, you pass through beautiful, silent gardens. from the gardens, you cross a wide courtyard. suddenly, you see the dome of the main building through a tall, red sandstone gate. at daybreak, the taj mahal’s white walls turn rose. at noon, they blaze（发光）white. at dusk, they become dark grey. _13_ after you pass through the gate, you step onto a wide stone platform. you look over another garden with pools. everything is arranged carefully in fours. __14_ the garden is divided into four parts. there are straight rows of colorful flowers and trees in each of the parts. at the four corners of the taj mahal, there are pointed tall towers. after the gardens, you go down stone steps towards the main building with the tomb and the graves of shah jahan and his wife. after hundreds of years, the taj mahal remains a lovely and peaceful place. _15__ a. it was a monument of love. b. four is a special number in the moslem religion. c. many people want to visit the taj mahal some day. d. this beautiful building is truly a jewel for all people. e. the taj mahal is most beautiful by the light of the full moon. f. to many people around the world, the taj mahal is a symbol of india. g. from the cool, dark gates, the taj mahal seems to float between earth and sky iv.单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）。 we hear from mr. jones on a r____________ basis. 2. i thought he would change after we got m_________. 3. the __________(有魔力的) tools are popular with young children. 4. our book starts with th e a history of china. 5. meanwhile, a number of university students have v to drive buses while the strike lasts. 6. my brother has graduated from our school and soon he will be a to college. 7. my father p to buy a new bicycle on my 18th birthday. 8. in the morning, he often does some exercise to build up his p strength. 9. he will be difficult to r_________ when he leaves. 10. this proposal d__________(值得) serious consideration. v.完成下列句子（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）。 1.过去我每隔几周就会去看我的爷爷。 i went to see my grandfather ________ ________ _________. 2.你知道为什么英语在国际事务中起如此重要的作用? do you know why english __ ___ ___ _____ ___________ ___________the international business? 3.学生们一个接一个地走进教室。 the students entered the classroom ____ ____ _____ . 4. 字母un代表什么? what do the letters un __________ ___________? 5. 她胃痛。 she _________ ____________ _____________ ____________ her stomach.
