Rugby looks like a mixture of soccer and American football. In Rugby, players carry the ball, kick the ball and tackle(拦截抢球)one another. Men, women and children play it in more than 120 countries.
Legend says rugby was invented in 1823 at a school in the town of Rugby, England. One of the school’s students, a young man named William Webb Ellis, was playing in soccer match. But he got bored with just kicking the ball, so he picked it up and ran with it. Before long, this new way of playing soccer became popular at the school. When the school’s students finished their studies, they moved to other parts of Britain, taking the new game, which they called rugby, with them. Before long, they and others established rugby clubs throughout Britain and in British colonies around the world.
By the 1870s, there were many clubs in Britain and elsewhere, but they weren’t all playing rugby the same way. To solve this problem, representatives from twenty-two teams met and agreed on official rugby rules. They also founded an association of rugby teams, called the Rugby Football Union (RFU).
Today, Rugby Union World Cup tournaments are held every four years. The first one occurred in 1987 with Australia and New Zealand hosting. The next World Cup will happen in 2015 and will be hosted by England. Thousands of fans will travel to attend the matches and cheer on their favorite teams. Believe it or not, not one team who’s won the Rugby World Cup has managed to win the next World Cup ! But players and fans don’t mind. They just enjoy the game.

I plan to remember this year’ vacation season with just two words: NEVER AGAIN. Never again, that is, will I take all my technology along. The Internet has ruined summer vacations.
Instead of reading dog-eared summerhouse mystery novels, this year we browsed the Internet. Instead of long evenings of crossword puzzles or board games, we checked our Twitter feeds and updated our Facebook pages. And that, of course, is the problem with the Internet: It’s so easy that, unless you’re equipped with massive self-control, you use it if it’s there.
For several years, I kept my Internet addiction under control by using inconvenient technology: a laptop which is old and not in good condition and a slow dial-up connection. But this year, the combination of a new iPad and very good Wi-Fi turned out to be fatal. The magical iPad signaled silently from the picnic table: What harm could it be to give the e-mail a quick check? But once that attractive touch screen lights up, who can resist?
I’m not the first to get lost across this problem, of course. I’m a late adopter. As early as 2008, Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains, was warning that broadband Internet was reducing our attention spans and making us stupid. The Web, he said, encourages us to get stuck into our “natural state of dis-tractedness.” Even before that, in 2000, Harvard’s Robert Putnam warmed that television -- and, more broadly, staring into any kind of screen -- had reduced the amount of time families spent in social interactions. And last year, researchers at UC - Irvine reported that employees who were unplugged from their e-mail got more work done -- and experienced far less stress.
Access to the Web is unquestionably a wonderful thing. I love having a bottomless library at my fingertips: I love having the world’s newspapers on my electronic doorstep. I love being able to pay bills and make airplane reservations online. And, thanks to those ugly cell phone towers in the woods, we now have a way to call for help if we need an ambulance or a fire truck. It’s also nice to have an app that identifies the constellations(星座)when you hold the iPad up to the night sky. But then, you have to remember to put the screen down and simply drink in the stars -- the original, uncut version.
And that’s the point: It’s important not to let the convenience of the Internet get in the way of simpler beauties. It’s our fault instead of the Internet, for failing to control the urge to browse. My problem is learning how to limit the time I spend on it. So now I have one more thing to look forward to next summer: More time reading old novels; more time playing crossword puzzles and chasing frogs. Next year, I promise to unplug. Except, of course, when we need to find a new bike trail, or Google a recipe for wild blueberry pie.
63. Throughout the passage, what evidence does the author provide to support the claims he makes in paragraph 2?
A. Scientific studies and statistics about Internet use.
B. Historical facts regarding the effects of television and the Internet.
C. Personal accounts and opinions of those who have studied the Internet.
D. results of opinion polls about Internet use.
64. According to the passage, how does the writer keep himself from getting addicted to the Internet?
A. By using outdated laptops with poor Internet access.
B. By only giving the e-mail a quick look.
C. By keeping the electronic devices out of reach.
D. By accessing new iPad and good Wi-Fi.
65. In the article, UC-Irvine research functions as ________.
A. a personal account that illustrates an idea about social life
B. a restatement of the author’s main argument
C. historical context to allow the reader to understand the article’s setting
D. evidence to support a point made by Nicolas Carr
66. Which of the following statement will the author probably agree to?
A. people should not rely simply on the Internet to provide them with news and other information
B. people can have meaningful vacations only if they leave all electronic devices at home
C. although the Internet is often useful, it can become addictive and prevent human interaction
D. even though there are some good things about the Internet, overall it has affected civilization for the worse
Section C
Directions: Choose from the sentences A -F to complete the passage. There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
A. I listened to it 20 times at least. B. That place made me what I am today. C. Community colleges have improved a lot these years. D. Those plays filled my head with expanded dreams. E. Of course, I enjoyed the pleasure of eating French fries between classes. F. So I sent my test results to Chabot, a community college in nearby Hayward, California, with accepted everyone and was free.
I owe(归功于...)it all to my community college
In 1974, I graduated from Skyline High School in Oakland, California, an underachieving student with poor SAT scores. I couldn’t afford tuition(学费)for college anyway. ______67_____.
For thousands of commuting students like me, Chabot was our Harvard, offering course in physics, certified public accounting, foreign language, journalism and so on. Classmates included veterans(老兵)back from Vietnam, married women returning to school, middle-aged men wanting to improve their employment prospects and paychecks. We could get our general education requirements out of the way at Chabot -- credits we could transfer to a university --- which made those two years an invaluable head start.
Classes I took at Chabot have rippled(起涟漪)through my professional pond. I produced the HBO mini-series John Adams with an outline format I learned from a pipe-smoking historian James Coovlis, whose lectures were interesting, Mary Lou Fitzgerald’s “Studies in Shakespeare” taught me how the five-act structures of Richard Ⅲ, The Tempest, and Othello focused their themes.
In Herb Kennedy’s “Drama in Performance,” I read plays like The Hot L Baltimore and Desire Under the Elms, then saw their productions. I got to see the plays he taught, through student rush tickets at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco and the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. _____68_____ I got an A. Some hours I stayed in the huge library, where I first read the New York Times, frustrated by its lack of comics.
If Chabot’s library still has its collection of vinyl records(黑胶唱片), you will find my name repeatedly on the takeout slip of Jason Robards’ performance of the monologue(独白)of Eugene O’Neill. _____69_____
Chabot College is still in Hayward, though Mr. Coovelis, Ms. Fitzgerald, and Mr. Kennedy are no longer there. I drove past the campus a few years ago with one my kids and summed up my two years there this way: “_______70________”
