1. The origins(起源) of baseball probably stretch

back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student,

laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and

attempted to standardize(使标准化) the rules governing the playing of

such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors(祖先) of

baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had

grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which

toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national

association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed(宣布) a set of

standard rules. These teams were amateurs(业余爱好者) or

semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered

opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the

Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon

fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League

was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league

appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was

intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season(季后赛) contest, the

first "world"s series". The American Association eventually

collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.

1). According to the passage, baseball originated in 1839 because

____.

games

C. the old games died out and a new one was needed

三、 完型填空 (共 1 道试题,共 10 分)

1. Ahhh, summer. Time to relax. You cannot have

complete rest if you ___1___it too seriously. But taking vacations

seriously is exactly___2___we Americans seem to do. In the same way

our kids" free time is now packed with activities, we adults have

turned vacations into "active leisure." Anytime you try very hard

to relax, that"s active leisure. Our vacations___3___with an

agenda, a purpose. We"re visiting family, attending weddings, going

camping, and making sure we ride that roller coaster-no matter how

long the line is. We Americans are so active in our

leisure___4___we commonly complain we need a vacation from our

vacations. We leave home___5___; we come back exhausted. That"s why

many of us have decided not to go. Americans are___6___a few

vacation days (14 days, on average) compared with other developed

countries, but ironically, we don"t even use them. The average

American will leave four vacation days on the table this year,

which adds up to a total 574 million days of___7___vacation. Our

relationship to relaxation seems contradictory. We spend more money

than anyone else in the world on leisure-fully one-___8___of our

income-and yet at the same time we are No. 1 in the world at not

taking vacations. One of the top reasons given for not taking a

vacation is that it"s too much extra work. We have to get___9___of

our work in order to leave, and then we have to catch up on our

work upon our return. The longer the vacation we take, the bigger

the stumbling blocks appear. So only 14% of Americans will take a

vacation two weeks or longer this summer. Bottom line: it"s simply

become too stressful to relax. We Americans take our time off so

seriously that you can now get a Ph.D. in leisure studies at Penn

State and 17 other famous universities. That"s right-a doctorate,

not just a bachelor"s. It"s such an up-and-coming field in academe

that there is an actual shortage of___10___educators. We don"t have

enough people to teach leisure. I am tempted to make a joke about

this, but I don"t want to get the wrath of the leisure scientists.

They"ll beat me up with chairs.
