These half-day visits will be held throughout the year, at times when young people are not at school.

Whether it's ten or thirty, I believe that 90% of them would be male (男性). Even in today's society, which calls for gender equality (男女平等), it seems that female sports stars simply don't get the same coverage (报道) as male players.The World Cup is the most widely followed sporting event in the world. According to a report, almost 715 million people watched the final match of the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a ninth of the whole population of the planet. But how many people notice the fact that the FIFA Women's World Cup has just taken place in Canada? The US team was the winner, after beating the Japanese team 5-2 in the final match. England even got a third place! However, the England team in the men's World Cup seldom runs to the quarter-finals. While the World Cup enjoys prime-time on most BBC channels, the FIFA Women's World Cup is put aside. The only time the media (媒体) made the news was when an English player scored an own goal!The inequality doesn't end with football. Just recently, Caroline Wozniacki (a top Danish tennis player) complained that women don't get the same chance as men to play on the show courts at Wimbledon. In this case, I think it's the luck of the draw — the further you get in the competition, the more likely you are to play on the show courts. In the opening stages, it is true that often only the best players will play their matches on the show courts. Women's tennis does get lots of coverage, though many complain that it isn't exciting to watch.Many people think the women's sport is often paid less attention to, but I think this is slowly starting to change. In the UK, there is a campaign called This Girl Can, which aims to get girls and women back into sports, regardless of their ages, shapes or sporting abilities. Hopefully this campaign will encourage more people to take up and enjoy sports, and help to reduce the nation's health problems.8.The hidden message in Paragraph 1 is that ________.A.female players don't get much attentionB.male players are more likely to enjoy sportsC.there are more male players than female playersD.the media prefer to provide coverage of female sports9.The author thinks Caroline's case ________.A.is due to the level of players' abilityB.is another example of gender inequalityC.helps women's tennis get a lot of coverageD.leads to disappointment at women's tennis10.What's the author's attitude toward the fixture of women's sport?A.Negative. B.Positive.C.Unconcemed. D.Doubtful.11.Why does the author expect more women to take part in sports?A.To beat male players.B.To have a household name.C.To achieve their dreams.D.To improve their health.DThe sun rises above the Arctic Ocean (北冰洋). Across the frozen sea, a white bear moves slowly.The bear stops and sways (摇晃) his head from side to side. There is nothing to see but endless ice and red sky. Then his powerful nose senses what his eyes cannot: a beluga whale is nearby.The bear follows the smell and spots a large hole in the ice where a small white whale is swimming. He silently walks toward the hole, then stops, standing still. The whale does not see the bear, whose white fur makes him appear invisible (看不见的) against the ice.Finally, the whale swims close to where the bear is waiting. With terrifying speed, the bear comes to life and moves toward the whale. In a moment it is over, and the bear eats his first meal in nearly a week.Polar bears rule the frozen sea, but their ancestors weren't always built for ice and snow. The first Arctic bears were brown bears, a species that includes grizzly bears. They came to the icy north over a hundred thousand years ago.No one knows for sure why these bears traveled to such a cold place. Scientists think they might have wandered north looking for food. Maybe they became trapped by glaciers and couldn't leave. Whatever the reason, the bears never should have survived.But they did. They got used to their new environment. Their bodies changed. Their behavior changed, too. Eventually, the bears developed into an entirely new species: the polar bear. You can see some of the characteristics that polar bears developed to survive.Sadly, these characteristics may now threaten the polar bear's survival. As sea ice melts due to global warming, polar bears are frequently forced to come ashore (在岸上). They are poor hunters on land, which means they often go a long time between meals. The polar bear, king of the Arctic, is now classified as a threatened species.Although the future of the polar bear is unknown, the tale of two bears continues. As temperatures rise, grizzly bears have been spotted moving north into polar bear territory (领地). These long-lost cousins, once forced apart by nature, are coming back together again.12.What can be inferred about the white bear mentioned in the first four paragraphs?A.It is noisy. B.It is smelly.C.It is starving. D.It has good eyesight.13.What do we know about polar bears' ancestors?A.They were a darker-colored species.B.They were born to live in ice and snow.C.They had no trouble getting used to the icy north.D.They came to the Arctic Ocean about 1,000 years ago.14.Why are polar bears struggling to survive?A.They are losing their hunting ground.B.They are threatened by other animals.C.They are spending little time on land.D.They have difficulty reaching the shore.15.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.The climate changeB.The polar bear's favorite mealC.The dark past of the polar bearD.The mysteries of the Arctic Ocean第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
