二、Reading comprehension： 20%

• 3．Argentina's quarter-final match against England in the 1986 World Cup will always be remembered for Maradona's two goals：The first，an opportunistic handball — which somehow worked.His second，scored minutes later，is known simply as the Goal of the Century：an amazing seventy-yard run with the ball glued improbably to his left foot，as English defenders flail （使勁亂擺） helplessly to the side.The iconic Argentine-television narration sums up the feeling： "Diego，" the breathless announcer shouts， "what planet are you from？"
     Somehow，after winning the World Cup two matches later，it all went wrong.As if Kapadia's remarkable new documentary， "Diego Maradona"，takes a revealing look at the emotional cost of fame and shows how disposable talent can be，no matter how impressive the gift.
     The documentary really begins in July，1984，when Barcelona sold Maradona to Napoli （for what was then a world-record fee）.One of the world's greatest players was sold to a club in Italy's poorest and most violent city.In the first press conference，when a journalist dares to ask what many must have wondered：Did the local Mafia （黑手黨） have anything to do with financing this deal？Maradona dissembles for a moment，before the president of the club steps in to reject the notion angrily.
     The film argues convincingly that Maradona's greatest sporting achievement was not the 1986 World Cup victory with Argentina but the two scudettos （意甲聯(lián)賽） that he won with Napoli，in 1987 and 1990，which turned the league upside down and angered the traditional powerhouses.The hateful criticism directed at Napoli and its fans was an expression of a national divide between the North and South.Yet，the on-field footage is stunning and the Neapolitans flattered him by saying "their city is visited by an angel in soccer sneakers".
     The defining moment came during the 1990 World Cup in Italy.Maradona，playing for Argentina and already hated by most Italian fans because of his association with a despised club，was booed （喝倒彩） everywhere he played.Argentina met Italy in the semifinals.When Argentina beat Italy，Maradona became the most hated man in the country.The next season，back at Napoli，he faced fury unlike any he'd ever encountered.Soon afterward，he was caught in scandals，the league banned him from the game for more than a year，and he returned to Argentina in disgrace.
     On the day of his 2001 testimonial （紀(jì)念賽），Maradona took the microphone with arms folded across his chest. "Soccer is the world's most beautiful game，" he said，and nothing he'd done should be held against the sport itself. "I made mistakes，and I paid for them，" he said.The entire stadium roared back its forgiveness，and he paused for a second，before continuing. "But the ball is never stained."
  
  （1）Which order of the following events is correct？

  
  ①Argentina's quarter-final match against England.
  ②Argentina's the semifinal match against Italy.
  ③Maradona's testimonial.
  ④the scudetto in 1987.
  A． ①②④③
  B． ④②①③
  C． ④①②③
  D． ①④②③
  （2）What major mistake did Maradona mean by saying "I made mistakes，and I paid for them？"

  
  A．His "Goal of the Century" was an opportunistic cheating.
  B．He got a lot of money illegally from his transfer from Barcelona to Napoli.
  C．He worked for a football club related to Mafia.
  D．He caused Italian football fans' national divide between the North and the South.
  （3）According to Asif Kapadia's documentary，which game（s） best showed Maradona's sporting success？

  
  A．Argentina's quarter-final match against England.
  B．Argentina's the semifinal match against Italy.
  C．Maradona's testimonial.
  D．the two scudettos in 1987 and 1990.
  （4）Based on the passage，what does the underlined word "dissemble" mean？

  
  A．hesitate
  B．fear
  C．talk
  D．impress
  （5）What is the best title for the passage？

  
  A．Maradona's relations with Mafia
  B．Another side of Diego Maradona
  C．On the mourning of Maradona
  D．The making of a football legend

• 4．Tourism is often about seeking deeper emotional and personal connections with the world around us.Not all travel experiences，however，need to take place in the real world.With the evolution of virtual reality （VR） technology，tourism will increasingly become a combination of physical and virtual worlds.VR may even remove the need to travel entirely.
     But can a VR experience really equal a real world one？Many experts believe it can.Studies have shown that our brains have an inbuilt VR—like mechanism that enables us to live imagined experiences.Much of our waking life is spent thinking about either the past or the future.This is known as "mind wandering".During these events we're not paying attention to the current world around us.Instead，we're recalling memories，or creating and processing imagined futures.
     When engaged in mind wandering，our brains process these mental images using the same pathways used to receive inputs from the real world.So，the imagined past or future can create emotions and feelings similar to how we react to everyday life.VR can create these same feelings.
     While critics might argue that a virtual experience will never match reality，there are several ways VR tourism could make a positive contribution.Firstly，it could help protect sensitive locations from overtourism.In recent years famous sites such as Maya Bay in Thailand，have had to limit the number of visitors because of their negative impact.These places are now producing their own VR experiences that will allow tourists to pass through virtual models of the sites.Virtual reality may also allow people back in time，to experience historical events，visit ancient cities，and even to walk among dinosaurs.
     Finally，in a world where many people suffer from stress and depression due to overwork，virtual tourism may provide a cheap and convenient way for people to take brief holidays to otherwise unreachable destinations and recharge （充電）their batteries，without ever leaving their homes.
  It sounds like science fiction but it's already happening.As virtual technology improves and as people continue to demand new and interesting experiences，more virtual tourism will be expected，both in combinations with the real world and instead of it.
  
  （1）What is motivating the development of virtual tourism？

  
  A．Companies seeking to make more money.
  B．Improvements in virtual reality technology.
  C．People's demand for more shared experiences.
  D．People's deeper understanding of the physical world.
  （2）According to the passage，can a VR experience really equal a real world one？

  
  A．Yes，many experts believe it can equal.
  B．No，it can hardly equal.
  C．It depends.
  D．Not given.
  （3）Which of the following best describes "mind wandering"？

  
  A．The brain processes which help people think VR is real.
  B．The way the brain processes inputs from the real world.
  C．Brain activities focusing on past or future events.
  D．Experiences coming from a person's imagination.
  （4）What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to？

  
  A．Science fiction.
  B．Virtual technology.
  C．Virtual tourism.
  D．The real world.
  （5）What is the purpose of the passage？

  
  A．To describe the advantages of VR tourism.
  B．To give suggestions for reducing overtourism.
  C．To encourage people to develop VR technology.
  D．To argue that VR tourism will replace the real-world travel.
