However, in many cultures people paint their faces instead. ①_________ In fact, face painting may be the very first form of art. Painting faces are in different colors and patterns. This has been part of people’s traditions for thousands of years. The way that people painted their faces can tell stories and lessons from the past. ②_________ People still paint their faces for lots of reasons. Patterns on faces connect people to a tribal (部落) family and can show who is the most important person in the family. For fighters, it is a way to make their enemies afraid. Face painting is also used in many ceremonies and special celebrations. How is face paint important in theater? Face paint was important in Japanese and Chinese ancient ceremonies. It was also used in traditional theatre to change the actors’ roles. Actors in those countries still wear white, black and red face paint today to show feelings and make the bad people look dramatic (戏剧性的) and awful. ③_________ Tribal people make face paint from the natural colors in plants and earth. Plant parts are used to make different colorings. The ingredients are dried over a fire and then made into a powder (粉末). This is then mixed with animal fat. 58. Match the title with each part. a.

But isn’t a sport more than that? Different people have different answers. Many people think that a sport must be hard for your body. But what about if you only need to think? Look at chess. There are chess competitions and chess stars. So is chess a sport? And do you need to be strong and fit to take part in a sport? What about Olympic shooting? You don’t have to be strong to do that. One thing all sports need is skill. A skill is something special you can do better than others. It is often a thing you learn, but some people have natural skills. Most people can learn to play football. But to be a really good football player, you need to be naturally quick and move well. Then there are hobbies, Hobbies are special activities that we like to spend our time doing when we aren’t working. So a sport can be a hobby, but not all hobbies are sports. Painting and cooking are hobbies. ________ If your hobby is looking after your garden, people don’t call it a sport. But if you climb mountains—if you’re a mountaineer (登山运动员) —many people will say you’re taking part in a sport. Maybe that’s because mountaineers compete—in other words, they try to do better than other climbers. Finally, what are games? Football is a game—but chess, video games, and hide and seek are games, too, each with its own rules. Is a game something we do just for fun? That’s also true for hobbies. And some games are clearly sports, but people don’t agree about others. There are different activities, For some, you have to be fit and strong. For others, you have to be smart or quick, But are they sports, games or hobbies? You decide. 63. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A rule. B. A skill. C. A garden. D. A competition 64. Why do many people think mountain climbing can be a sport? A. Because mountain climbers compete. B. Because mountain climbers have fun. C. Because mountain climbing is their hobby. D. Because mountain climbing doesn’t need skills. 65. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “________” in Paragraph 4. A. But few people do them after sports. B. And they need some natural skills, C. But no one calls those things sports. D. And people spend their free time on them. 66. What do we know about games according to the passage? A. People have to be strong to do them. B. They are less interesting than hobbies. C. They are things people need to learn D. Most of them have their own rules. 67. What is the topic of the passage? A. Success. B. Sports. C. Family. D. Olympics. 【答案】63. B 64. A 65. C 66. D 67. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍运动并不仅指强身健体的活动，也包含一些需要技巧、具有竞争意识的活动。 【63题详解】 代词指代题。根据“A skill is something special you can do better than others.”可知，It指代的是“A skill”。故选B。 【64题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“…if you’re a mountaineer (登山运动员) —many people will say you’re taking part in a sport. Maybe that’s because mountaineers compete”可知，因为登山运动员竞争。故选A。 【65题详解】 推理判断题。根据“If your hobby is looking after your garden, people don’t call it a sport.”可知，并不是所有的个人爱好都是运动，打理花园就不是运动。故选C。 【66题详解】 细节理解题。根据“…but chess, video games, and hide and seek are games, too, each with its own rules”可知，比赛都有自己的规则。故选D。 【67题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要围绕“运动”展开论述说明，故选B。 D When I was a boy, my family would sometimes get together at my great-aunt’s tiny house over the summer, Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. Then our family connection became deeper and we know we are all one and a big, beautiful family. During these times, the adults would crowd together in the living room, around the kitchen table and on the front porch (门廊) to talk and catch up on each other’s lives. All of us kids would be sent out to the front yard to play. Those were the days before video games and smartphones, so we often ended up playing a good old-fashioned game of tag (捉人). I remember one of those times especially. I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, so I got caught first and couldn’t catch anyone else. Although I tried my best to chase after my brothers and sisters, they were all too fast for me, I became more and more sad. 1 finally lunged at (扑向) one of my brothers and fell face down into the dirt. I got up with tears in my eyes. Then I saw one of my cousins standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before, I easily caught her. Then she turned to me, smiled and said, “I’m it! You’d better run!” I ran off laughing happily while she turned and started to chase one of my older brothers. I see now how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and brought me joy. It didn’t matter that we hardly ever saw each other. We were family and she loved me. 68.

C When we hear the word “sport”, we usually think of football, basketball, the Olympic Games. and things like that. But isn’t a sport more than that? Different people have different answers. Many people think that a sport must be hard for your body. But what about if you only need to think? Look at chess. There are chess competitions and chess stars. So is chess a sport? And do you need to be strong and fit to take part in a sport? What about Olympic shooting? You don’t have to be strong to do that. One thing all sports need is skill. A skill is something special you can do better than others. It is often a thing you learn, but some people have natural skills. Most people can learn to play football. But to be a really good football player, you need to be naturally quick and move well. Then there are hobbies, Hobbies are special activities that we like to spend our time doing when we aren’t working. So a sport can be a hobby, but not all hobbies are sports. Painting and cooking are hobbies. ________ If your hobby is looking after your garden, people don’t call it a sport. But if you climb mountains—if you’re a mountaineer (登山运动员) —many people will say you’re taking part in a sport. Maybe that’s because mountaineers compete—in other words, they try to do better than other climbers. Finally, what are games? Football is a game—but chess, video games, and hide and seek are games, too, each with its own rules. Is a game something we do just for fun? That’s also true for hobbies. And some games are clearly sports, but people don’t agree about others. There are different activities, For some, you have to be fit and strong. For others, you have to be smart or quick, But are they sports, games or hobbies? You decide. 63. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A rule. B. A skill. C. A garden. D. A competition 64. Why do many people think mountain climbing can be a sport? A. Because mountain climbers compete. B. Because mountain climbers have fun. C. Because mountain climbing is their hobby.

And they need some natural skills, C. But no one calls those things sports. D. And people spend their free time on them. 66. What do we know about games according to the passage? A.
