21、What makes a sports event a winner? Exciting action? Tick. Athletes competing to win honour and glory for their club or motherland? Tick. History and tradition? Tick. Delicious snacks? Tick. Most people think global events such as the Olympic Games and the World Cup are the most exciting, but there is some serious competition. Here’s a look at some of the hottest tickets in sports.
The World Series
The World Series is the final championship of the American baseball leagues. The seven-game series is played in October or November and attracts a great number of fans. Baseball is one of America’s favourite sports and has many traditions, such as the "seventh-inning stretch (七局伸展操)". The song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" is played so that everyone can get up after sitting for a long time. The break is also a good time for a snack. Hot peanuts are a hit with hungry baseball fans, but the hot dog is the real winner!
Indian Premier League
Cricket is from England but has become as Indian as saris and curry. The Indian Premier League has the largest audience of all cricket leagues in the world and is the sixth most-watched sports league in the world. Cricket is a unique sport and may seem a little confusing at first, but once you start learning the rules, you’ll love it. The most popular cricket snacks are finger foods like biscuits and cucumber sandwiches.
Wimbledon
Wimbledon is a treat for all tennis fans. The tournament started in 1877 and many of the rules are the same today. For example, the players may only wear white clothes. The event, however, is quite colourful since fans often dress up for the games and wear amazing hats. And when it comes to snacks, it’s "game, set, and match" at Wimbledon. Where else can you enjoy champagne and strawberries as you cheer for the champion?
【1】According to the text, which of the following is NOT an attraction of the sports events?

22、From ancient stories to modern researches, the label（标签）attached to being left-handed is undeniable. Left-handed people, or “lefties” as they are often called, are generally believed to be good at art — Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Michelangelo are all left-handed .
Our brain is divided into two parts: the left hemisphere（大脑半球）and the right hemisphere. The left hemisphere, linked to logic and analysis, is responsible for the right side of the body. The right hemisphere, linked to creativity and imagination, controls the left side of the body. So, people tend to believe lefties are controlled by the right side of the brain, and are more creative than right-handers. Some also think that lefties may not be as good as right-handers in mathematics and problem-solving skills.
However; a recent study carried out by scientists from the University of Liverpool in the UK and the University of Milan in Italy proved this theory wrong. The study involved（涉及）more than 2,300 students in Italy aged between 6 and 17 years old. They were asked to complete several mathematical tasks of different levels. It turned out the left-handers outperformed the others when the tasks involved difficult problem-solving. This pattern was particularly clear in male adolescents. However; when it came to simple arithmetic, there was no difference between left-handers aud right-handers.
It was also discovered that those who are “severely” right-handed performed less well in all the experiments compared to “medium” right-handers and left-handers.
“Taken together, these findings show that handedness does influence abilities to some degree,” the study’s authors wrote. However, “handedness is just an indirect expression of brain function,” wrote psychology professor Giovanni Sala from the University of Liverpool in the UK, the lead author of the study. Sala also noted that only one third of people with a highly-developed right side of the brain are left-handed. It means that there are lots of right-handed people with a similar brain function as left-handers.
【1】The author begins the text by ________.
A．telling some ancient stories
B．giving examples of artworks
C．introducing a modern research
D．presenting conventional wisdom
【2】What is the main focus of paragraph 2?
A．Skills of solving problems.
B．Ways of becoming creative.
C．People’s opinions of left-handers.
D．The functions of two hemispheres.
【3】What can we Jearn from the recent study led by Giovanni Sala?
A．Handedness doesn’t have any association with brain function.
B．People with a highly-developed right hemisphere are most likely lefties.
C．The “severely” right-handed are far better at simple arithmetic than lefties.
D．Right-handers didn’t perform as well as lefties when handling tough problems.
【4】The text is most probably taken from_________ .
A．a medical report
B．a science magazine .
C．a biology textbook
D．an education essay

26、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The long and tiring mid-term exam finally ended as the pleasant bell rung over the school. Walking out of the classroom, I looked up at the sky, feeling the breeze gently kissing my face. In the distance came Fred, my best friend. Waving my arms in the air, I ran toward him. “How is your exam?” I asked, smiling. “Maybe not that bad, you know I have prepared for it the whole month” he grinned. After chatting for a while, we finally decided to celebrate the end of our exams by eating outside.
Fred and I went to a fast food restaurant nearby excitedly. There near the counter sat a short man wearing a shirt unbuttoned(未系扣子的) to expose his chest, with a shaven head and tattoos（纹身）on his arms. “That man must be a bad guy!” Fred said to me in whisper. I nodded and walked to the counter cautiously.
We ordered hamburgers and steaming coffee at the counter.When our food came, I started walking towards an empty table. By bad luck, my purse strap(带子)got caught on a chair and the tray(托盘)that I was holding slipped form my hands and went flying in the air.The tray, and its contents, fell on the exact short man who was just about to take a bite of his sandwich. I stared, greatly shocked, with my eyes wide open, as the drinks soaked(浸湿)his white shirt.
“ouch!” yelled the short man and then he immediately dashed towards the washing room before I could say anything.
