At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia
24. Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?
A. Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B. Because his blood is valuable.
C. Because he was once saved by the blood donations.
D. Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
25. What can we learn about Robyn Barlow?
A. He was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B. He was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C. He was deeply moved by Harrison’s donations.
D. He was anxious about Harrison’s retirement as a donor.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
B. After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C. Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
D. A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA.
27. Which word can best describe Harrison?
A. Patient. B. Diligent. C. Talented D. Devoted.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. A 27. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了James Harrison因14岁时接受血捐而获救,决定成年后定期献血,最终通过近1200次献血拯救了240万婴儿的生命。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.(詹姆斯·哈里森14岁时接受了一次重大的胸部手术,术后他需要13单位(3.4加仑)的血液。这些献血拯救了他的生命,他决定一旦自己满18岁,就会尽可能经常地献血)”可知,James Harrison决定尽可能频繁地献血是因为他曾经的生命被血液捐赠所拯救。故选C。
【25题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.”(“澳大利亚生产的每一瓶抗D免疫球蛋白中都有詹姆斯的贡献,”Rh项目主任罗宾·巴洛告诉《悉尼先驱晨报》。“这是一件了不起的事情。他拯救了成千上万的婴儿。想到这一点我就流泪。”)”可知,Robyn Barlow对Harrison的捐赠行为深深感动。故选C。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia.(但是,哈里森停止献血并不意味着他完全退出了这一领域。科学家们正在收集并记录他的DNA,以建立一个抗体和白细胞库,这可能成为澳大利亚未来抗D计划的基础)”可知,即使 Harrison退休了,他的影响仍然会通过科学家对他的DNA的研究继续存在。故选A。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文对James Harrison事迹的描述,可以看出他是一个非常有奉献精神的人,他坚持献血超过60年,几乎每周都捐血,帮助了数百万婴儿免于疾病。这些行为体现了他的无私和奉献。因此,最能描述Harrison的词是D选项“Devoted(有奉献精神的)”。故选D。
C
Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly.
However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more.
In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy- efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate.
We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower.
It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce.
Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles too. But ultimately, the measures are too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled.
28. Why is importing apples from New Zealand more energy-efficient for British residents in spring?
A. It reduces food miles.
B. British apples are in short supply.
C. New Zealand apples are cheaper.
D. British apples have been stored under energy-consuming conditions.
29. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A. All imported food has a higher carbon footprint than locally grow n food.
B. Beans flown in from Kenya have higher carbon footprints than grown in Britain.
C. Transporting food by air always results in a higher carbon footprint than growing local food.
D. Only considering food miles is an oversimplified way to assess a food’s environmental impact.
30. The underlined word “negate” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. enhance B. ignore C. cancel out D. misunderstand
31. What is the author’s attitude towards buying local food?
A. Strongly supportive. B. Completely opposed.
C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Somewhat indifferent.
【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文,讨论了购买本地食物是否真的更环保这一问题。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy-efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. (然而,我们在冬季或春季购买的苹果已经冷藏了数月,这会消耗大量能源。因此,在春季,从新西兰进口苹果更节能,因为那里的苹果正当季。)”可知,这两句话明确指出英国在春季时,苹果已被冷藏数月,处于耗能状态,所以从新西兰进口苹果更节能。故选D。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. (如果我们的目标是减少碳排放,我们必须考虑整个农业生产过程,而不仅仅是运输。)”以及最后一段中的“Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled. (除了食物运输的距离之外,还有许多不同的因素会影响食物的碳足迹。)”可知,只考虑食物里程来评估食物对环境的影响过于简单,与D选项相符。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据文章第五段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. (同样值得记住的是,产品的旅程并不在超市结束。消费者购买食物所走的距离以及他们使用的交通方式也会增加食物的碳足迹。)”以及“So driving a long way to shop for food (开车很远去购买食物)”可知,所以,会使得购买本地种植产品的任何环境效益都无效。“negate”表示使无效,与“cancel out (抵消)”意思相近。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, the real story is not as simple as that. (然而,实际情况并非如此简单。)”以及文章第五段“It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. (同样值得记住的是,产品的旅程并不在超市结束。消费者购买食物所走的距离以及他们使用的交通方式也会增加食物的碳足迹。)”及全文可知,文章通过分析不同因素对食物碳足迹的影响,可以看出作者的谨慎怀疑态度。故选C。
D
The argument over video games has been ongoing for decades. While some argue that e-sports require skill, there is disagreement over whether they meet the standards of a traditional sport. According to the dictionary, a sport is a physical activity for pleasure. While playing video games requires skill and coordination (协调), it lacks the physicality associated with traditional sports. Strategy is also present in board games like chess or card games like solitaire, but these activities are not classified as sports. Similarly, playing a musical instrument requires practice and training, yet it is not considered a sport.
Sports require full-body movements and coordination while video games mainly involve finger and hand movements. Although it is possible to include physical movement while playing, it is not a requirement for success. Many e-sports enthusiasts sit in front of their screens, filling themselves with snacks while controlling the game. This lack of physicality not only sets video games apart from sports but can also have negative effects on health. Unlike traditional sports, which have been shown to improve well-being, too much video gaming can lead to headaches and anger.
While e-sports and competitive gaming may be comparable to activities like chess in terms of competition, they do not possess the physical effort and health benefits associated with traditional sports. However, as the industry continues to develop, the idea of e-sports is evolving. Studies have stressed the demanding motor skills and reaction times required in e-sports. Professor Ingo Frobose conducted a study that demonstrated the impressive motor skills of e-sports “athletes”, with up to 400 movements per minute on the keyboard and mouse. The strategic aspect of e-sports, including team planning, is also often ignored. Games such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Honor of Kings have attracted large audiences and showed the skills of players.
While some argue against the classification (分类) of e-sports as real sports, evidence suggests that they possess unique skills and abilities. As the industry grows, the understanding and recognition of e-sports as a lawful competitive activity are gradually changing.
32. Why don’t some people think of video games as a sport?
A They lack full-body movements. B. They stress teamwork mostly.
C. They have no influence on health. D. They require no strategy and training.
33. What will be a result of playing video games too much according to the text?
A. Better relationship with friends. B. Bad performance in study.
C. Poor health condition. D. Lack of coordination.
34. Which supports the classification of e-sports as real sports?
A. The fast development of traditional sports.
B. The benefits for health brought by video gaming.
C. The comparison of e-sports to chess.
D. The strategic aspect involved in e-sports.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Do e-sports require teamwork and skills?
B. Should video games be considered a sport?
C. Do e-sports have negative effects on health?
D. Should e-sports players concentrate more when playing?
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文属于议论文。文章就电子游戏是否应被归类为体育运动这一话题进行了讨论,通过对比电子游戏与传统体育的特点、对健康的影响以及电子竞技所包含的技能和策略性,来探讨电子游戏作为一项体育运动的合理性和公众认知的变化。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“While some argue that e-sports require skill, there is disagreement over whether they meet the standards of a traditional sport. According to the dictionary, a sport is a physical activity for pleasure. While playing video games requires skill and coordination (协调), it lacks the physicality associated with traditional sports. Strategy is also present in board games like chess or card games like solitaire, but these activities are not classified as sports. Similarly, playing a musical instrument requires practice and training, yet it is not considered a sport. (虽然一些人认为电子竞技需要技巧,但对于它们是否符合传统运动的标准,人们存在分歧。根据字典的解释,运动是一种为了娱乐的体育活动。虽然玩电子游戏需要技巧和协调性,但它缺乏传统体育运动所需要的身体素质。策略也存在于棋盘游戏中,如象棋或纸牌游戏,但这些活动不被归类为运动。同样,演奏乐器需要练习和训练,但它不被认为是一项运动。)”可知,一些人不认为电子游戏是运动是因为它们缺乏全身运动。故选A。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This lack of physicality not only sets video games apart from sports but can also have negative effects on health. Unlike traditional sports, which have been shown to improve well-being, too much video gaming can lead to headaches and anger. (这种身体接触的缺乏不仅使电子游戏与体育运动区别开来,而且还会对健康产生负面影响。传统体育运动已被证明可以改善健康,但电子游戏玩得太多会导致头痛和愤怒。)”可知,过度玩电子游戏会导致健康状况不佳。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Professor Ingo Frobose conducted a study that demonstrated the impressive motor skills of e-sports “athletes”, with up to 400 movements per minute on the keyboard and mouse. The strategic aspect of e-sports, including team planning, is also often ignored. Games such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Honor of Kings have attracted large audiences and showed the skills of players. (Ingo Frobose教授进行了一项研究,展示了电子竞技“运动员”令人印象深刻的运动技能,他们每分钟在键盘和鼠标上移动多达400个动作。电子竞技的战略层面,包括团队规划,也经常被忽视。《英雄联盟》、《Dota 2》和《王者荣耀》等游戏吸引了大量观众,并展示了玩家的技能。)”可知,电子竞技中涉及的战略层面支持将其归类为真正的体育运动。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“The argument over video games has been ongoing for decades. While some argue that e-sports require skill, there is disagreement over whether they meet the standards of a traditional sport. (关于电子游戏的争论已经持续了几十年。虽然一些人认为电子竞技需要技巧,但对于它们是否符合传统运动的标准,人们存在分歧。)”可知,整篇文章围绕“电子游戏是否应被视为一项运动”这一争议展开,讨论了电子竞技的技能要求、与传统体育的区别、对健康的潜在影响以及它作为一项竞技活动的逐渐认可。因此,选项B“Should video games be considered a sport? (电子游戏应该被视为一项运动吗?)”为最佳标题。故选B。

Leave yourself wanting more, rather than overdoing it. You are also less likely to feel sore or injure yourself.

空处位于段末,是对于整个段落的总结概括,根据本段主题句“Identify your “why” — do you want to exercise for your health?(确定你的“为什么”——你想为了健康而运动吗?)”可知,本段中心是在讲需要弄清楚你为什么运动,你可以从中获得什么,F项“明确你想从锻炼中获得什么可以帮助你开始”是对于本段的再次概括,故选F。
【38题详解】
本空位于段首,是段落主题句,根据本段中“by doing an activity you find enjoyable(通过做一项你觉得有趣的活动)”以及“doing a form of exercise you enjoy(正在做一种你喜欢的运动)”可知,本段主要是讲要做自己喜欢的运动,A项“做一项你喜欢的活动”符合语境,故选A。
【39题详解】
前句“If you hate running, don’t do it.(如果你讨厌跑步,那就不要跑步)”提到如果讨厌跑步,就不要去跑步,下文“Start small.(从小处着手)”建议读者从小事做起,循序渐进。B项“去大自然中散步吧”承接上句,符合语境,故选B。
【40题详解】
前句“It’s very easy not to go and exercise when you’re relying on yourself — but with a friend, you can use him or her for motivation to make sure you stick at what you set out to do.(当你依靠自己的时候,不去锻炼是很容易的——但是和朋友在一起,你可以用他或她的动力来确保你坚持你的计划)”提到,和朋友一起锻炼,可以把朋友当作动力,这样应是更有可能坚持下去,G项“你们会更有可能坚持到底,因为你们不想让对方失望”承接上句,符合语境,故选G。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was born into a poor family from a small Indian village where we had no college, or university. After completing Grade Ten, my father came to me with some bad news. . .
“Son, I’m sorry. I won’t be able to pay any more of your educational expenses.”
I was the fourth and youngest son in the family. The family expenses had become too much for my father’s small army wage to handle. Not having money for my education worried me. I laid my head down that night, wondering what my future held in store. The words of my teacher came to me, “Nawaz, you must try and find another way for your future. Look at me! I grew up as a poor boy from the village. I struggled, I worked hard and I went to the city. You must find a way and never give up. ”
I heard Karachi was a city of opportunity for poor people due to lots of small jobs. I decided to move to the city to get a job, so I could save up and pay for my education.
On a busy street not far from where I stayed, I found a job in a small restaurant. I waited on tables, cleaned floors, and washed dishes. I slowly saved enough money for my college admission fee. After that, I studied by day. By night and on weekends I worked at the restaurant. I was tired but determined to complete my education.
One day Mr. Jatin started asking me questions. “Where are you from?” “What are you doing here?” “Why are you working here?” He came to the restaurant for a cup of tea regularly in the afternoon, so the waiters were all familiar with him. I politely answered his questions about my situation.
“Mmm, I see,” Mr. Jatin nodded. “I’ve watched you work hard. And I’d like to pay for all your college fees. You can quit your job and focus on your studies. ”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. My heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of joy and profound gratitude. I stood there stunned for a moment, my eyes wide with astonishment. I thanked Mr. Jatin repeatedly, unable to contain my excitement. With his support, I could finally focus entirely on my studies without the burden of financial worries. I worked even harder, determined not to disappoint him and to make the most of this precious opportunity.
Having got a well-paid job after graduation, I realized it was time to pay back. I expressed my appreciation in the most heartfelt way possible, emphasizing how his kindness had transformed my life. I decided to help other students in need, just as he had helped me. I set up a scholarship fund to support those who struggled like I once did. I was acutely aware of the immense value of a helping hand in times of difficulty and was eager to pass on the kindness and make a positive difference in the lives of others.

At the age of 14, James Harrison had a major chest operation and he required 13 units (3.4 gallons) of blood afterwards. The blood donations saved his life, and he decided that once he turned 18, he would begin donating blood as regularly as he could.
More than 60 years and almost 1,200 donations later, Harrison, whose blood contains an antibody (抗体) that has saved the lives of 2.4 million babies from miscarriages (流产), retired as a blood donor on May 11. Harrison’s blood is valuable because he naturally produces Rh-negative blood, which contains Rh-positive antibodies. His blood has been used to create anti-D in Australia since 1967.
“Every bottle of anti-D ever made in Australia has James in it,” Robyn Barlow, the Rh program director told the Sydney Morning Herald. “It’s an amazing thing. He has saved millions of babies. I cry just thinking about it.” Since then, Harrison has donated between 500 and 800 milliliters of blood almost every week. “I’d keep going if they let me,” Harrison told the Herald. His doctors said it was time to stop the donations. They had already extended the age limit for blood donations for him, and they’re cutting him off now to protect his health.
Harrison’s retirement is a blow to the Rh treatment program in Australia. Only 160 donors support the program, and finding new donors has proven to be difficult. But Harrison’s retirement from giving blood doesn’t mean he’s completely out of the game. Scientists are collecting and cataloging his DNA to create a library of antibodies and white blood cells that could be the future of the anti-D program in Australia
24. Why did James Harrison decide to donate blood as regularly as he could?
A. Because he wanted to be a celebrity.
B. Because his blood is valuable.
C. Because he was once saved by the blood donations.
D. Because the Rh treatment program in Australia need him.
25. What can we learn about Robyn Barlow?
A. He was sad because millions of babies suffer from blood disease.
B. He was worried because Harrison may die of losing too much blood.
C. He was deeply moved by Harrison’s donations.
D. He was anxious about Harrison’s retirement as a donor.
26. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Harrison’s influence to the Rh program will still exist after his retirement.
B. After Harrison’s retirement, the Rh program will fail.
C. Harrison’s retirement will not affect the Rh program.
D. A library has been built for the study of Harrison’s DNA.
27. Which word can best describe Harrison?
A. Patient. B. Diligent. C. Talented D. Devoted.
C
Recently, campaigners have encouraged us to buy local food. This reduces “food miles”, that is, the distance food travels to get from the producer to the retailer. They reason that the higher the food miles, the more carbon emissions. Buying local food, therefore, has a lower carbon footprint and is more environmentally friendly.
However, the real story is not as simple as that. If our aim is to reduce carbon emissions, we must look at the whole farming process, not just transportation. Other processes, including fertilization, storage, heating and irrigation, contribute much more.
In fact, imported food often has a lower carbon footprint than locally grown food. Take apples for example. In autumn, when apples are harvested, the best option for a British resident is to buy British apples. However, the apples we buy in winter or spring have been kept refrigerated for months, and this uses up a lot of energy. In spring, therefore, it is more energy- efficient to import them from New Zealand, where they are in season. Heating also uses a lot of energy, which is why growing tomatoes in heated greenhouses in the UK is less environmentally friendly than importing them from Spain, where the crop grows well in the local climate.
We must also take into account the type of transport. Transporting food by air creates about 50 times more emissions than shipping it. However, only a small proportion of goods are flown to the consumer country, and these are usually high value, perishable items which we cannot produce locally. Even then, these foods may not have a higher carbon footprint than locally grown food. For example, beans flown in from Kenya are grown in sunny fields using manual labour and natural fertilizers, unlike in Britain, where we use oil-based fertilizers and diesel machinery. Therefore, the total carbon footprint is still lower.
It’s also worth remembering that a product’s journey does not end at the supermarket. The distance consumers travel to buy their food, and the kind of transport they use will also add to its carbon footprint. So driving a long way to shop for food will negate any environmental benefits of buying locally grown produce.
Recently, some supermarkets have been trying to raise awareness of food miles too. But ultimately, the measures are too simple. Lots of different factors contribute to a food’s carbon footprint besides the distance it has travelled.
28. Why is importing apples from New Zealand more energy-efficient for British residents in spring?
A. It reduces food miles.
B. British apples are in short supply.
C. New Zealand apples are cheaper.
D. British apples have been stored under energy-consuming conditions.
29. Which of the following statements is correct according to the passage?
A. All imported food has a higher carbon footprint than locally grow n food.
B. Beans flown in from Kenya have higher carbon footprints than grown in Britain.
C. Transporting food by air always results in a higher carbon footprint than growing local food.
D. Only considering food miles is an oversimplified way to assess a food’s environmental impact.
30. The underlined word “negate” in paragraph 5 probably means ________.
A. enhance B. ignore C. cancel out D. misunderstand
31. What is the author’s attitude towards buying local food?
A. Strongly supportive. B. Completely opposed.
C. Cautiously skeptical. D. Somewhat indifferent.
D
The argument over video games has been ongoing for decades. While some argue that e-sports require skill, there is disagreement over whether they meet the standards of a traditional sport. According to the dictionary, a sport is a physical activity for pleasure. While playing video games requires skill and coordination (协调), it lacks the physicality associated with traditional sports. Strategy is also present in board games like chess or card games like solitaire, but these activities are not classified as sports. Similarly, playing a musical instrument requires practice and training, yet it is not considered a sport.
Sports require full-body movements and coordination while video games mainly involve finger and hand movements. Although it is possible to include physical movement while playing, it is not a requirement for success. Many e-sports enthusiasts sit in front of their screens, filling themselves with snacks while controlling the game. This lack of physicality not only sets video games apart from sports but can also have negative effects on health. Unlike traditional sports, which have been shown to improve well-being, too much video gaming can lead to headaches and anger.
While e-sports and competitive gaming may be comparable to activities like chess in terms of competition, they do not possess the physical effort and health benefits associated with traditional sports. However, as the industry continues to develop, the idea of e-sports is evolving. Studies have stressed the demanding motor skills and reaction times required in e-sports. Professor Ingo Frobose conducted a study that demonstrated the impressive motor skills of e-sports “athletes”, with up to 400 movements per minute on the keyboard and mouse. The strategic aspect of e-sports, including team planning, is also often ignored. Games such as League of Legends, Dota 2, and Honor of Kings have attracted large audiences and showed the skills of players.
While some argue against the classification (分类) of e-sports as real sports, evidence suggests that they possess unique skills and abilities. As the industry grows, the understanding and recognition of e-sports as a lawful competitive activity are gradually changing.
32. Why don’t some people think of video games as a sport?
A. They lack full-body movements. B. They stress teamwork mostly.
C. They have no influence on health. D. They require no strategy and training.
33. What will be a result of playing video games too much according to the text?
A. Better relationship with friends. B. Bad performance in study.
C. Poor health condition. D. Lack of coordination.
34. Which supports the classification of e-sports as real sports?
A. The fast development of traditional sports.
B. The benefits for health brought by video gaming.
C. The comparison of e-sports to chess.
D. The strategic aspect involved in e-sports.
35 Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. Do e-sports require teamwork and skills?
B. Should video games be considered a sport?
C. Do e-sports have negative effects on health?
D. Should e-sports players concentrate more when playing?
