12、 A 　　Every time Lionel Messi breaks a record, it seems appropriate to compare him to the legends that came before him. In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Muller’s previous mark,

13、 before wrapping up the year with 91 goals. All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do

14、. We don’t know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(維持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons. Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelona’s victorious Champions League(冠軍聯(lián)賽)campaigns, a

15、nd he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times. Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelon

16、a, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina. Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messi’s performances for his country have been severely disappointing. While he was still a teenager in 2006-and

17、 his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentina’s performance in 2010. But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next

18、 World Cup could finally be Messi’s breakout performance in blue and white stripes. Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮狀態(tài))until his speed and skills start to decline due to age,

19、he may continue to break records and win trophies. 21. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career? A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina. B. He must win the tournament a few more times. C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona. D. He must avoid injury or lengt

20、hy slumps. 22. How was Messi’s performance in 2010 World Cup? A. Excellent. B. Inspiring. C. Disappointing. D. Normal. 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history. B. Messi will try his best t

21、o win the next World Cup with Argentina. C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies. D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers. 24. What is the best title of the passage? A. Lionel Messi, the Best Socc

22、er Player of All Time B. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in History C. Barcelona and Lionel Messi D. World Cup and Lionel Messi B Planning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs. AVOID BIG EVENTS　Big sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cos

23、t of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost ￡169.15 at B. A week later, the same room cost ￡118.15. If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid—or youre looking for

24、 a big event to pass your time—check out sites such as W, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category. STAY AWAY FROM THE STATION　If traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the

25、sake of convenience at the start of your holiday. Dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodges Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel wa

26、s ￡75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just ￡62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELF　Really central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a self－catering flat with its own kitche

27、n. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic ONeill Flat on Edinburghs Royal Mile, available for ￡420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults. GET ON A BIKE　Londons “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention

28、, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs. Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to

29、 30 minutes, or ￡5 per day)． 25. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may ________． A. help travelers pass time B. attract lots of travelers to the UK C. allow travelers to make flexible plans D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation 26．“Farringdo

30、n” in Paragraph 5 is most probably ________． A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent Garden C. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency 27．The passage shows that the ONeill Flat ________． A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in ce

31、ntral London C. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over ￡100 on average per day in late September 28．Cardiffs program allows a free bike for a maximum period of ________． A. half an hour B. one hour C. one hour and a half D. two hours C

32、 　　While students in Yinchuan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution. But things may start to improve soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environm

33、ental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel engines(柴油機(jī))by 40 percent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them. “We encourage t

34、he development of public transports. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ”said an official. Efforts are being made to improve the capital’s environment with tighter controls on emissions(排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by th

35、e steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were

36、rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index(指數(shù))gave just 100 days as good. “I am glad to see an improvement, ”said a senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate pollution. Once I was rid

37、ing my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldn’t see a car only metres away from me in fog. ” In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French Air Force was called off. Rapid development, industry, traffic fu
