AThe expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something.“Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance, be brave, and act firmly.“Go for it!” gets name from football. Not football as it is played in most countries such as England, Egypt or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three attempts, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a critical（批评的）decision.The conservative choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary（临时的）defeat in order to gain a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to gain the remaining yards needed.In the nineteen eighties, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely.There is no guarantee that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind. You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.21. The expression “Go for it!” comes from______.A. English footballB. Egyptian footballC. Japanese footballD. American football22. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider______.A. safetyB. actionC. resultD. situation23. In which of the following situations should we use the expression nowadays?A.

It is a major holiday in Ireland, but the rest of the world has influenced its celebration as much as the Irish themselves.Most Americans think of Saint Patrick’s Day as a big party centered around drinking alcohol. But its beginnings in Ireland were religious, says Mike Cronin, a professor of Irish history with Boston College of Massachusetts.Ireland is a mostly Roman Catholic country. Saint Patrick lived in Ireland more than 2,000 years ago. He is widely considered to have established Christianity in the country. The Church honored him with a holy day in the 17th century. March 17 marks the date of his death. The average Irish person honored March 17 quietly. Attending church services was the main activity. In fact, most businesses that served alcohol would close in honor of the day.In the early 1900s, Ireland’s government made St. Patrick’s Day an official holiday. By the 1960s, towns across Ireland started celebrating the holiday with parades and music. In Ireland today, St. Patrick’s Day is a four-day public celebration that includes parades, music, food, and games.For Irish people living outside Ireland, Saint Patrick’s Day became a chance to celebrate their Irish identity and culture. Now, countries and cities around the world celebrate March 17 in creative ways. Many countries hold Saint Patrick’s Day parades. Famous monuments, including the Great Wall of China, the Niagara Falls, and the Gateway of India in Mumbai will all be colored by green light for the day.Cronin says that the worldwide popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day has helped the Irishgovernment, which uses the holiday as a form of diplomacy. And for a small island of 4.5 to 5 million people it’s quite remarkable that they have that kind of soft power.21.How did average Irish people celebrate Saint Patrick’s Day in the 17th century?A. Drinking alcohol.B. Parading in the streets.C. Attending church services peacefully.D. Coloring well-known monuments green.22.What can we learn from the passage?A. Saint Patrick’s Day is the most significant day in the US.B. Saint Patrick’s Day plays a role in foreign affairs in Ireland today.C. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide today as in the 17th century.D. On Saint Patrick’s Day, parades and parties are held throughout America.23.What is the passage mainly about?A. The origin of Saint Patrick’s Day.B. The celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day.C. The influence of Saint Patrick’s Day on the world.D. The role of Saint Patrick’s Day in Irish diplomacy.27. What is Cronin’s attitude towards the popularity of Saint Patrick’s Day?A. Unclear.B. Neutral.C. Negative.D. Positive.CKayla Coehoorn sweeps（打扫）the floor in her family’s cow barn(畜棚). She spreads feed. Soon she’ll cut the grass. One thing she won’t do is milk cows. Kayla manages the family’s cow herd, which until last year meant getting up at 5 for milking, then milking again in the evening. Not anymore. Last year the family built a new barn equipped with a pair of robotic milking machines. The machines milk cows around the clock, without Kayla in attendance. Kayla, feeling so relieved, loves it and so do the cows.Robotic milking was first developed in Europe and only recently began to catch on in the US.About 5% of American cow farms have begun to use robots. But the machines are growing in popularity, especially on smaller farms.The robots solve a big problem. As older farmers retire, young people are unwilling to fill their shoes. Robotic milking is encouraging them to take another look. It not only makes the work easier but also gives them the flexibility（灵活性）to get up later or take a day off, or attend a soccer game. It allows more time for other things.Cows come two or three times a day to a robot, attracted by the promise of food. As each one steps up, a steel arm swiftly washes its udder(乳房) and applies four milking cups. Computers not only control the robots but also collect detailed information about each cow. On traditional farms, the farmer pushes the old milking machines and attaches the machines by hand.However, robots won’t save all farms. Low milk prices have got many cow farmers deep in debt and worsened the financial(财政的) uncertainty that also helps drive them out of business. Over the past few years, the US has lost nearly 17,000 cow farms. So robots aren’t a panacea(万能药). Still, experts say robotics can offer new possibilities to families facing hard decisions about the future. “Especially in places with a history of smaller farms, this will help keep that way of life,” says one expert.28. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. An example of cow farmer’s daily life in the US.B. Kayla’s opinion on applying robotic milking .C. The effect of robotic milking on Kayla’s work.D. The popularity of robotic milking in recent years.29. Why might young farmers be attracted to farm work by robots?A. They could increase their income.B. They could have more family time.C. They could learn about high technology.D. They could have their farm life improved.30. According to the text, milking tech with the use of robots_________.A. still needs the work of human hands.B. could also check the cow’s condition.C. is widely used on large cow farms.D. has no requirement for location and time.第二节（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10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。
