13、ful celebrities in the world of womens soccer. She made her name doing what many still think of as a “mans job” -refereeing(裁判) soccer matches.The Canadian began her career as a referee in 1978, at the age of 14. She worked her way up, and in 1994, became the first female international FIFA referee.
14、 Sonia was the first woman to referee a top mens professional game, in EL Salvador in 1996. A year later, she became the first female to referee a mens first division game (甲级队) in Brazil. She has refereed at thousands of games at all levels, including over 100 international games, three World Cups,
15、 and two Olympic Games.Her goal has always been to encourage more young women to become involved in the game. She accepts that it can be difficult, but she is sure that progress is possible. “I became a top referee and Im from Canada, which is not a huge footballing nation,” she said. “So if I can d
16、o it, anyone can. And I wouldnt change anything about my life because my career has given me excellent opportunities.”In 1994, there were only four female referees on FIFAs list. In 2008, this figure had risen to552-over 18 percent of the 3,000 listed FIFA referees and assistants. She is now Head of
17、 FIFA Womens refereeing and continues to promote the role of women in soccer. However, there is still a long way to go in the battle for equality in the game.It is still very unusual to see a female referee at the top international tournaments. Some people say this is because the women referees aren
18、t fit enough to work at the highest level. But for Sonia, this is simply an excuse to hide the widespread opposition to women doing what is considered a “mans job”. “Its a social thing,” she says. “In some countries women in positions of authority are just not accepted.” Even Sonia admits, “Football
19、 is still a mans world.” However, things are changing, thanks to pioneering women like Sonia.24Which of the following can best describe Sonia Denoncourt?AStrong and patient.BTough and generous.CDetermined and committed.DStrict but humorous.25What can we learn from paragraph 4 about Sonia?AShe has ne

22、hat theyre doing it when they sit down. While you may find it comfortable to sit with one knee crossed over the other, it might be causing health problems that you are not aware of.A study published in Blood Pressure Monitoring stated that sitting with your legs crossed can increase your blood press
23、ure. The reason for this is that the blood in your legs has to work against gravity to be pumped back to your heart and that crossing one leg over the other increases resistance, making it even harder for the blood to circulate. This causes your body to increase your blood pressure to push the blood
24、 back to the heart. You wont feel any immediate effects, but repeated, drawn-out increases in blood pressure can cause long-term health issues. So, planning to sit for a long period of time? Dont keep your legs crossed.Crossing your legs at the knee can also cause pressure on the major nerve in your
25、 leg that passes just below your knee and along the outside of your leg, explains Richard Graves, a medical expert. This pressure can cause numbness and temporary paralysis (麻痹) of some of the muscles in your foot and leg, preventing you from being able to raise your anklewhat we know as that “pins
26、and needles” sensation. While the feeling of discomfort may only last a minute or two, repeatedly crossing your legs until they feel numb can cause permanent nerve damage.So next time you sit down, try to get yourself in the habit of sitting with both of your feet on the floor. Not only will it help
27、 your posture and stability, but it will also save your health in the long run.28What can we learn about crossing ones legs?AIt is a very bad social habit.BIt can do harm to peoples health.CIt is usually practiced deliberately.DIt can make others feel uncomfortable.29According to the study, sitting
28、with your legs crossed can_.Aaffect your blood pressureBresist gravity effectivelyClead to heart attacks easilyDimprove the function of legs30In the third paragraph “pins and needles” probably means_.Abeing highly flexibleBbeing a little tiredCserious muscle injuriesDslight sharp pains31What is the
29、main purpose of the text?ATo compare common habits.BTo evaluate effects of an experiment.CTo give readers some advice.DTo introduce research methods.We can text WhatsApp, Facebook message and Snapchat but are we losing the convenience of the phone conversation? Who has time to chat when you can spen
30、d hours on WhatsApp?Most of my phone calls are less than a minute long. If I unintentionally hit answer instead of pressing the ignore button, I usually say, “Hold on, Ill call you back,” before quickly typing out a “whats up?” text. My list of recent phone calls is limited to four people and unless
31、 we live together, are related, or dating, theres very little chance that youll be added to that list.It seems Im not the only whos abandoning the phone call. The average adult spends more time on media or communication per day than on sleeping, but among all that communication, the phone call is th
32、e medium thats falling.So why has the phone call fallen out of favor? Many messaging apps seem to have created a grade of communication, so that the phone call is no longer the standard way of conversing long distance, but a relatively intimate (亲密的) thing.Rachel, 24, says that she used to speak to
33、all her girlfriends on the phone but now only calls a few. “I rarely even speak to good friends on the phone and if they call me Im like, Hello, is something wrong?,” says Rachel. “If I do a phone call it feels really official, like its a big deal.”Instead of taking the time to ring a friend and cat
34、ch up, it now seems easier to send a short message. And unless youre very close to someone, an unscheduled phone call can feel like an intrusion (干扰). While text messages can be put to one side for hours or even days, a phone call demands attention in the moment.But while text messages and emails ma
35、y be a more efficient way of sharing basic facts and information, theyre not necessarily the best way of communication. We may be communicating more than ever before, but we seem to be listening far less.32What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 1?APeople chat much less on the phone now.
36、BPeople are addicted to messaging apps.CPeople find no time to chat face-to-face.DPeople have many ways to communicate.33According to Rachel, when a good friend calls her, she _.Awill ignore the call.Bwill call back immediately.Cwill make an official visit to her friend.Dwill think her friend has so
37、me problems.34What can be learned from the text?AText messages demand immediate attention.BAn unscheduled phone call may be unwelcome.CUsing a phone call to communicate is out of date.DIt is hard to keep track of friends on messaging apps.35What is the authors attitude towards phone conversation?ADo
38、ubtful.BUncaring.CSupportive.DHopeful.五、七选五The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before. But just as in face - to - face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on - line. 36 Imagine how youd feel if
39、 you were in the other persons shoes.For anything you re about to send: ask yourself, Would I say this to the persons face? If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 38 If it wa
40、s caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake
41、, whether it& a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesnt give you license (特许) to correct everyone else.
42、 40 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status(婚姻状况). Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharin
43、g personal information, dont ask such questions.AEveryone was new to the network once.BIf you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.CIts natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.DThe basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you
44、would want to be treated.EYou should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.FWhen you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to Hear.GRepeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the person
