第三部分、 阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
For hundreds of years, Americans were told “Do your best in sports, whether or not you win.” Part of this “sports ethic” comes from the Bible’s teaching that no matter what you do, God expects you to do it “with all your might”. Another statement of this ethic is expressed in the Olympic Creed: The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.
However, as various sports have become ways to make money, this earlier sports ethic is being replaced by the need to win, for winners make more money than losers. Professional players are now paid unbelievable salaries, more than the presidents of the biggest companies and much more than the President of the United States.
For example in 1944, some huge American sports contracts were signed: In baseball, the San Francisco Giants baseball team agreed to pay Barry Bonds almost forty-four million dollars to play for six years, over seven million dollars a year for playing baseball! In basketball, Larry Johnson will be paid eighty-four million dollars by the Charlotte Hornets for playing twelve years, seven million dollars a year for playing professional basketball. The Cleveland Browns will pay Bernie Kosar twenty-seven million dollars for playing American football for seven years, almost four million dollars a year for playing football.
56. From paragraph 1, we learn that Americans thought_______.
A. it was taking part that mattered in sports B. it was winning that mattered in sports
C. there were no loser in sports D. there were no winner in sports
57. Which of the following is most likely to be the reason for the need to win in sports?
A. Winners are proud. B. Winners are respected.
C. Winners have an award. D. Winners make more money than losers.
58. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Sports To Win. B. The Need To Win.
C. Sports To Make Money. D. The Need To Make Money.
59. The text is designed for________.
A. researchers B. the public C. coaches D. athletes

B
Excused from recycling because you live in a high rise with a rubbish chute? You won’t be for long. Miami’s Mark Shantzis has made it simple for those living in tall buildings to use the chute and recycle too.
In Shantzis’ Hi-Rise Recycling System, a chute leads to a pie-shaped container with six boxes that can turn around when operated. The system, which fits in the same space as the chute and container now in use, enables glass, plastic, paper, metal, and other rubbish to go into separate boxes.
The system is controlled from a board fixed next to the chute door. The board has a button for each class of recycling materials (as well as for unrecyclables). At the press of a button, a microcomputer locks all other floors’ chute door and sets the recycling container turning until the right box comes under the chute. The computer also counts the loads and gives a signal by phone when the box is full. And a particular piece of equipment breaks up the nonrecyclables.
Sorting(分类) recyclables before they are collected saves the use of expensive materials recovery equipment which otherwise has to do the sorting. Such equipment often makes recycled materials very expensive, so expensive that tons of recyclables remain wasted. Shantzis believes his system could help recycled materials become more cost-effective.
60. The purpose in writing this text is ________.
A. to encourage people to recycle their rubbish
B. to describe the use of computer technology in recycling
C. to introduce a recycling system for high rises
D. to explain the need for rubbish collection in high rises
61. When he says “You won’t be for long” the writer means that ________.
A. you’ll soon be living in a cleaner building
B. rubbish chutes will become out of date before long
C. you won’t wait long for your turn to recycle rubbish
D. it won’t be long before you’ll have to recycle your rubbish
62. Before dropping rubbish into the chute you have to ________.
A. lock the other floors’ chute doors
B. press the correct button
C. check if the container is full
D. break up the rubbish
63. The biggest advantage of this new system is that _________.
A. it saves money for people living in high rises
B. it saves time and space
C. it reduces the cost of recycling
D. it makes better use of the existing recovery equipment
