Geneva is situated between the Jura Range and the Alps on the western end of Lake Geneva. Capital of Peace is one of its names― the European headquarters of the United Nations lies here in Palais des Nations. Another worthy name for this city with a humanitarian tradition(人道主義傳統(tǒng))and international character is the World’s Smallest Metropolis. Parks,splendid stores and lively streets in the old part of town and its 2000 ― year history wait to be discovered.

The Jet d’Eau together with the Flower Watch are the main attractions every year for the tourists visiting Geneva. The Jet d’Eau has become the symbol(象征)of Geneva for a long time. This is a 140 meters high water monument with a rich history. Eight 13,500―watt projectors light the grand column(圓柱)of the fountain in the evening, from early March until the second Sunday of October. The Flower Watch, which was created at the edge of the English Garden in 1955,reminds us about that Geneva is the birthplace of the Swiss clock and watch making, and that this industry has become internationally famous, as well through the quality of the watches as through their beautiful appearance.

Sails on Lake Geneva are also enjoyable. The Lake of Geneva, lying among the Alps, is a true inland sea, making possible a wide range of pleasant boat trips, you can relax and watch the beautiful scenes pass by.

Playing basketball isn’t ladylike. That’s what Jewell Chapman’s high school headmaster told her in 1961 when he was against the girls’ basketball program.

“We were very discouraged, ” said Chapman, a forward(前鋒)for her high school team of Des Moines.

Nearly 50 years later, Chapman is back on the playground. She’s 62 and plays for “Hot Pink Grannies”, joining about 10 other women on a team whose uniforms are black trousers and hot pink socks. They play in the Iowa Granny Basketball League.

It’s one of dozens of basketball leagues for women over 50 that have arisen across the country. For some, it’s a chance to exercise and meet people; for others, it’s a once – refused chance to make up.

“You see more and more elderly women’s teams taking part in state and national competitions,” said Michael Rogers, a professor in sports studies at Wichita State University. “In the future it will be something common to have leagues like this.”

Yearly surveys by the National Sporting Goods Association show the number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball at least 50 times a year has grown from 16,000 in 1995 to nearly 131,000 ten years later.

The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good – natured but competitive when game time comes.

“I think I’m tough” says Colleen Pulliam, 69, showing off her strong arms at her challengers in a game against “Strutters”, known for their bright yellow socks.

Granny Basketball Leagues and similar groups spread quickly through much of the country, including California, Louisiana, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C.

1.Which is right about Chapman?

A.She thinks playing basketball isn’t ladylike.  

B.She is now 62 years old and feels discouraged.

C.She plays basketball again about 50 years later.

D.She is a forward in the Hot Pink Grannies.

2.The underlined sentence “it’s a once – refused chance to make up” in the fourth paragraph means          .

A.it is chance to realize their old dream

B.it is chance to take part in sports

C.it is chance to earn a reputation

D.it is chance to compete for medals

3.Who is probably a player of “Hot Oink Grannies”?

A.Des Moines.        B.Colleen Pulliam.  C.Michael Rogers.  D.Strutters.

4.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Some elderly women play basketball with the purpose of getting wealthy.

B.Granny Basketball Leagues have spread all over the USA.

C.The women on the Hot Pink Grannies are good – natured and less competitive.

D.The number of women aged 55 and older who play basketball has greatly increased.

5.From the passage we can infer          .

A.in the 1960s, playing basketball wasn’t considered as a girls’ sport

B.the color of the socks is of great importance to granny players

C.more and more granny players are confident about getting higher scores

D.Jewell Chapman’s high school headmaster has already changed his attitude

The history of modern art begins with Impressionism, a movement started in Paris in the mid-1800’s. At that time many artists painted in a very traditional way that involved spending hours in a studio, painstakingly (辛苦地) creating paintings that were extremely detailed. These paintings were sometimes of people or landscapes or historical events. In 1863, Edouard Manet exhibited his painting “Dejeuner sur l’erbe” at the Salon des Refuses. The painting caused a commotion (騷動), thus starting the Impressionist movement. Although Edouard Manet is the declared leader and founder of the group, he was not present at the first group exhibition or any of the other eight collective Impressionist shows. The movement gained more attention in the April of 1874 when Claude Monet, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, and Jean-Frédéric Bazille formed Society of Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Engravers and began exhibiting outside of the official salon. The same year, the term Impressionism was invented by criticizing (批評的) journalist Louis Leroy to describe their paintings, who worked for the magazine Le Charivari.

The Impressionists often paint out of doors and want to show how light and shadow fall on objects at particular times of the day. Their works are sometimes described as “captured moments” and are characterized by short quick brushstrokes (筆) of colour which, when viewed up close looks quite messy and unreal. If we step back from the Impressionist paintings, the colours are blended together by our eyes and we are able to see the painters’ subjects which often show colourful landscapes, sunlight on water as well as people busy with outdoor activities.

1.Before Impressionism, the works of artists were         .

A. quite abstract                     B. very confusing

C. very detailed                D. quite controversial

2.Who first started Impressionism? ___________

A. Claude Monet.                 B. Edouard Manet.

C. Auguste Renoir.             D. Alfred Sisley.

3.The works of the Impressionists are best viewed         .

A. with imagination     B. at a distance

C. outdoors                  D. in a studio

4.The second paragraph is mainly about ______.

A. the painting style of the Impressionists

B. how to describe the Impressionist paintings

C. the influences of the Impressionist paintings

D. the subjects of the Impressionist paintings
