27、The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take various forms: organized competitive struggles, athletic games, hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It’s not the same as European football or soccer. In American football there are 11 players as well on each team, and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country.
Basketball is the winner sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, basketball originated in the US, many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. And the famous NBA games are considered the best of this game.
Other sports attracting a great many people include wrestling, boxing and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the exactness of the term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sportsmen are the spectators, who do not come primarily to see the horses race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.

28、 Although fires are still a danger in every major city today, they were a much more serious problem in earlier centuries. The historic Fire of London was a serious example of the damage fire can cause. Finally, however, this disaster also positively affected the city.
In 1666, the Great Fire of London burned out of control for three days, destroying most of the central district of the city. The disaster caused a huge amount of damage — around seventy thousand people lost their homes. At the time, there were only about eighty thousand living in the city. There are no accurate records of how many people died in the fire because the worst damage happened in poor neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the government didn’t record the deaths of poor people in those early times.
When the fire happened, people in London were already struggling to survive a large plague (瘟疫) outbreak that had begun in 1665. London’s housing troubles were a major cause of the problem. At the time, much of central London consisted of closely packed and poorly made wooden buildings. This created an unhealthy environment because germs travelled freely from home to home. In addition, the buildings were on narrow, dirty streets where people threw their garbage. Rats were attracted by the garbage, and they brought fleas (跳蚤) — the carriers of the plague. Once people caught the plague from flea bites, the disease spread rapidly throughout the city especially in the cramped central district. It was in these terrible conditions that the Great Fire raged through London.
Despite the damage, the fire had a positive effect because it destroyed the old, poorly made wooden buildings. It also killed most of the rats and fleas, which slowed the spread of the plague. After the fire, the government rebuilt the damaged areas. Whenever possible, they used brick or stone. Thus, the new houses were much more solid and more difficult for rats to enter. Widened streets and improved garbage collection also helped to stop the disease from spreading from person to person because there was simply more room to walk.
【1】Which of the following is TRUE about fires in the past?
A．They mainly happened in large cities.
B．They always had some positive effects.
C．They caused small amounts of damage.
D．They were more dangerous than fires today.
【2】Why are there no accurate death records of the fire?
A．The numbers were beyond counting.
B．The government intended to hide the facts.
C．The records were destroyed in another fire.
D．The deaths of poor people were unrecorded.
【3】What does the underlined word “cramped” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．Ancient.
B．Crowded.
C．Damaged.
D．Popular.
【4】Why did the government rebuild the city with brick and stone after the fire?
A．To reduce building costs.
B．To make houses stronger.
C．To keep fleas out of the city.
D．To stop the plague spreading.
29、Standing in my office 25 years ago was a young astronomer. She had an incredible request that my team revise our software to do something beyond our design, and risk breaking it. All to carry out a seemingly impossible experiment—to prove that a massive black hole existed in our Milky Way. My initial "no way" gradually gave way in the face of her cheerful but unshakable determination. It was my first encounter with Andrea Ghez, one of the winners of Nobel Prize in Physics 2020.
For 25 years Andrea has been searching for evidence of a black hole at the heart of our galaxy. But the work has been defined by technology. Scientific equipment was never designed to meet Andrea's need—analyzing the image data at superspeed. But she was not to give in and our team just made the changes. And it worked! It was extremely hard and time-consuming, but Andrea persisted. Out of that effort came the first evidence of stars orbiting a black hole.
Andrea is fond of owing her success to the interaction between astronomers and engineers responding to the challenge. Science questions generate new technology and new technology generates new science. Andrea has always pioneered in this virtuous cycle (良性循环). She created UCLA Galactic Centre to promote research and technical developments.
Today, Andrea received the highest scientific recognition. But as she would be the very first to knowledge, this success represents the combined efforts of so many. From the theoretical prediction Albert Einstein, through the amazing telescopes and observatory locations, to the technical workers it is the product of thousands.
But in my eyes, it was just one person that had the persistence and focus to make the idea happen that person is my friend and longtime colleague the one who refused to take "no" for an answer Andrea Ghez.
【1】Why did Andrea Ghez pay the first visit to the author?
A．To appreciate a software design.
B．To demand a software revision
C．To conduct an astronomy research
D．To promote a high-tech product.
【2】What has Andrea Ghez been persisting in?
A．Carrying out outer space experiment.
B．Developing superspeed equipment.
C．Looking for evidence of a black hole
D．Searching for new stars in the galaxy.
【3】Which of the following best describes Andrea Ghezi?
A．Pioneering and appreciative.
B．Artistic and reserved
C．Determined and disciplined.
D．Innovative and controlling.
【4】What does the author think of Andrea Ghez?
A．Average
B．Fashionable.
C．Troublesome.
D．Admirable.

She ________ from the University of Glasgow with a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Philosophy(physics),with honors, in 1965 and ________a PhD degree from the University of Cambridge in 1969. She was the only girl in her class in the University of Glasgow, and was frequently laughed at by the boys in the same class. But that did not ________ her from carrying on with her aspirations.

Her supervisor(导师), Hewish took these records to Martin Ryle, under whom they were working, and they discussed these developments without Bell’s knowledge.

But before long, she heard news that her colleagues were ________ awarded the 1974 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of pulsars.
“I think the fact that I was a ________ that reduced my standing in terms of receiving a Nobel Prize. It didn’t ________me.
