Section B (18 marks)
There are many kind ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s of art in the world and so are the art museums. In Brazil, soccer is__16__an art form. That is the best__17__for the soccer museum to be built.
Brazil is the lan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d that__18__a lot of great football stars, such as Aradona, Zico, Romario, Ronaldo, Kaka, and the most famous of all, Pele. It is the only country to have qualified for every World Cup, and the__19__one to win it five times.
In order to__20__the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) greatest sport of the nation, the Museum Do Futebol, or Football Museum, opened last month at Pacaembu Stadium in Sao Paulo. On entering the__21__， visitors are happy and a little surprised because they are__22__in Portuguese, Spanish and English by a life size image of Pele, who is known as “The King”．
“The Louvre has th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Mona Lisa. And we have our own piece of__23__， that is Pele.” said Hugo Sukman, of the Robert Marinho Foundation, which helped__24__the construction of the museum.
In many ways, the museum is a shrine to Pele.
One of its most imp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ressive displays is a temporary exhibit with 140 items form Pele's personal collection, including the wooden shoeshine box he used as a boy to__25__spare change and the ball from his 1000th__26__in 1969.
“Inevitably, a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )museum about football is also a museum about the__27__of Brazil and Brazilian culture，” said Leonel Kaz, the museum's curator.

Section C (12 marks)
Sports should help ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a man to learn fairness, not only in games but also for life. If two teams play 28 game, one team must lose. 29 a dozen teams attend an athletic competition, one team will get the most points and all the 30 eleven teams will get 31 points. If a school team comes out last, that is no loss of face. 32 that team and that school must do is to admit that it loses. The only intelligent reaction 33 defeat must be: next year we will do our best to come out on top, because from now on we will devote 34 to a stricter course of training under competent instructors(有能力的教练)．21·cn·jy·com
Lessons learned in sp ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )orts can help us in our dealing with other people. 35 even more valuable are the lessons learned in extra curricular activities in school: in speech, dramatic and musical contests, in “house” activities, and, especially, in the student council.www-2-1-cnjy-com

Part Ⅲ Writing (45 marks)
Section A (10 marks)
(2012·洞口高一上期末)Why d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o people play sports and games Because they are fun and a lot more besides: building up our health...following the rules...acting as a team member.... These are all “game” ideas that you will meet with throughout your life.
Think about some ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of the games you played as a young child, such as rope jumping, hide and seek (捉迷藏) and playing soldiers. Such games are entertaining and a lot of fun. But perhaps more importantly, they teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow in the rest of their lives, such as obeying the rules, taking turns and cooperating (合作)．
Many children's ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown ups. For instance, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which sharpens the hand eye coordination (协调) needed in hunting.
When we grow up, we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) don't play those “silly” games any more. We begin to play basketball, football, tennis and chess and so on. We may play them for fun, for a better health and even for honor. Some even play them to make a living.
Many sports and g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ames encourage national or local pride. The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes (运动员) from around the world together to take part in friendly competitions. People who watch the event will wave flags, knowing that a gold medal is a win for an entire country, not just for the athlete who earns it. For countries experiencing natural disasters(灾难) or a war, an Olympic win can mean a lot more.
Sports are also an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) event that unites people. Football and basketball are the most popular sports in the world. People on all continents play them. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian football player, has discovered a way to spread hope through football. He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only football balls but also a promising future.
To conclude, we say ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that sports and games can do a lot of good to us as well as to our society. Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other aspects (方面) of your life.

Section B (10 marks)
(2012·凤凰县华鑫中学高一下月 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )考)It seems that the Englishman just cannot live without sports of some kinds. A famous French humorist once said that this is because the English insist on behaving like children all their lives. Wherever you go in this country, you will see both children and grown ups knocking a ball about with a stick or something, as if in Britain men always remains boys and women girls! Still, it can never be bad to get exercise, can it 2·1·c·n·j·y
Taking all a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mateur(业余的) and professional(职业的)sports in Britain into consideration, there can be no doubt that football is at the top of the list. It is called soccer in the US. The game started in Britain and was played in the Middle Ages or even earlier, though as an organized game, or association football, it dates only from the beginning of the 19th century.【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
The next is rugby ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), which is called football in the US. It is a kind of football played by two teams of fifteen players rather than eleven. In rugby, an oval shaped(椭圆形的)ball is used which can be held by hand as well as kicked. It is a pretty rough game.21教育名师原创作品
In summer, crick ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )et is the most popular sport. In fact, it has sometimes been called the English national game. Most foreigners find the game rather slow or even boring, but it enjoys great popularity among the British.
Tennis rates high ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) on the list, too. It was introduced into England from France in the 15th century, but it was from England that it spread to almost every country in the world.
Table tennis, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) or ping pong, surely is not played as much as it is in China and Japan. Basketball and volleyball were introduced into Britain during the late 19th century from America and are gaining popularity. Horse back riding, swimming, rowing and golf all attract a lot of people.

Sometimes a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stepparent has to take a step back. When I was thirty five, I met my husband and came to know his kids, aged 10 and 7.We__1__playing basketball and shopping for cartoon books and became great friends. Then I got__2__.

I was no longer ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )a part time friend, so everything changed. For example，__5__the kids to help didn't appear an important thing before, but now they became unwilling.

Even in a li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )fe in situation, a stepparent isn't the parent. You help with everything and__10__lots of hugs and laughs. But you also have to learn to stand in the shadow.

Today, my steps ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ons know where to find me, whether it's for long chats or a(n)__12__e mail to say hi. And I know where to find them. The caring is surely there, even if the bloodline(血统) isn't.

(2013·浏阳一中高一阶段考 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )试)When I was 19，I had got a job in my local bookstore. Living in the large city, I usually saw many strange customers(顾客), most of 13 were teenagers. They didn't come often; I forgot all the customers 14 two. One night a 15 year old girl came in looking for a book with a boy. They seemed to find what they wanted to buy. But 15 they came to the counter(柜台), the girl found she was a dollar or two short to buy the book, and she took 16 all her money to prove it. She looked so disappointed. Just then I remembered my discount card and 17 was still active, so I told the girl 18 to worry. I put in my code(密码), being happy that I could help them with this card. With the book in her hand she gave me 19 thankful smile, and then she and the boy got out of the store happily, leaving me feeling content, too. 20 fact, sometimes a little thing can also make one's world beautiful.

“I grew up on mon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )key bars，and I never forget how good it felt to get to the top of them with other children，”Mr.Stern said.“I don't want to see the playground without them.”
His philosophy is sh ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ared by some researchers who question the value of safety first playgrounds.Even if children do suffer fewer physical injuries，researchers say that these playgrounds may prevent emotional development，leaving children with anxieties and fears that are worse than a broken bone.
“Children need t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o meet risks and overcome fears on the playground，”said Ellen Sandseter，a professor of psychology at Queen Maud University in Norway.“I think monkey bars and tall slides are great.As playgrounds become more and more boring，these are some of the few facilities that still can give children exciting experiences with heights and high speed.”
“Climbing equipment ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) needs to be high enough，or else it will be too boring in the long run，”Dr.Sandseter said.“Children approach thrills and risks in a progressive (渐进的) manner，and very few children would try to climb to the highest point when they climb for the first time.The best thing is to let children meet these challenges from an early age，and they will then progressively learn to master them through their play over the years.”2·1·c·n·j·y
Falls are the common ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) form of playground injury.But these rarely cause long lasting damage，either physically or emotionally.While some psychologists and many parents have worried that a child who suffers a bad fall would develop a fear of heights，studies have shown the opposite pattern: a child who's hurt in a fall before the age of 9 less likely becomes a teenager who has a fear of heights.
1．What's the point of this passage
A．Can children easily get hurt on the playground
B．Do children need to be overprotected at school
C．Should children keep away from the playground
D．Should a playground be too safe for children
2．The underlined word“them”in Paragraph 1 refers to“________”．
A．other children B．monkey bars
C．playgrounds D．parents
3．Which of the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) following statements about safety first playgrounds may Ellen Sandseter agree to 21·世纪*教育网
A．They are never too safe.
B．They make children safe and happy.
C．They cannot prevent physical injuries.
D．They may prevent the emotional development of children.
4．According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to Paragraph 4，by climbing high equipment，children will learn ________.21*cnjy*com
A．the value of safety
B．how to reduce injuries
C．how to deal with challenges
D．how to work well with others
5．The writer would probably agree that ________.
A．safety first playg ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rounds are better for the emotional development of children
B．children who have ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) suffered a bad fall may be less likely to develop a fear of heights21·cn·jy·com
C．children usually ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )try to climb to the highest point when they climb monkey bars for the first time
D．a teenager's f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear of heights often results from a fall from monkey bars before nine years old

Think about some of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the games you played as a young child，such as rope jumping and hide and seek.Such games are entertaining and fun.But perhaps more importantly，they_translate_life_into_exciting_dramas that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives，such as taking turns and cooperating(合作)．
Many children's games ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )have a practical side.Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown ups.For instance，some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones，which sharpens the hand eye coordination(协调)needed in hunting.

Sports are al ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )so an event that unites people.Soccer is the most popular sport in the world.People on all continents play it－some for fun and some for a living.Nicolette Iribarne，a Californian soccer player，has discovered a way to spread hope through soccer.He created a foundation to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a promising future.

(2012·醴陵二中、醴陵四中高一下 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )联考)People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother's Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father's Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child care.www.21-cn-jy.com
These two special ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one stands for a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式)to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves(坟). On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.
Another tradi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tion is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.www-2-1-cnjy-com

The child finally born ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Bill and his wife was a boy，whom they named Frank.Twenty eight years later，in 1952，Bill received a telegram from Frank.It was sent from Helsinki，Finland，where the 1952 Olympics were being held.The telegram read，“Dad，I won.I'm bringing home the gold medal you lost while waiting for me to be born.”Frank had just won the gold medal for the United States in a rowing event，a medal his father had dreamed of winning but never did.When people asked Bill about his decision he made twenty eight years ago，he said he would make the same choice if he was in such a situation again.

Short and shy，Ben Sau ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )nders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team.“Football，tennis，cricket anything with a round ball，I was useless，”he says now with a laugh.But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England's rural Devonshire.2·1·c·n·j·y
It was a moun ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him.At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest.Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend.Gradually，Saunders set his mind on building up his body，increasing his speed，strength and endurance.At age 18，he ran his first marathon.
The following year，he ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )met John Ridgway，who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean.Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's School of Adventure in Scotland，where he learned about the older man's cold water exploits(成就)．Intrigued，Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions，then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Po ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )le aren't the usual holidays for British country boys，and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy.“John Ridgway was one of the few who didn't say，‘You're completely crazy，’”Saunders says.In 2001，after becoming a skilled skier，Saunders started his first long distance expedition toward the North Pole.He suffered frostbite，had a close encounter(遭遇)with a polar bear.
Saunders has since bec ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ome the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole，and he's skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton.His old playmates would not believe the transformation.21·cn·jy·com
This October，Saunders, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )27，heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back，an 1,800 mile journey that has never been completed on skis.【版权所有：21教育】
