27、题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中, 选出最佳选项。AOn March 8, a big spelling mistake was made at the Selma Unified School Districts spelling bee(拼字比赛), in Selma, California. The mistake was made not by one of the competitors, but by the judges. Even though 12-year-old Sierra Shoemaker spelled her final word correctly, sh

28、e was disqualified(淘汰)because the judges thought she had it wrong. “I didnt want to say anything because if the word master tells you youve got a wrong word, you dont really argue with him, ”Sierra told local California news station KMPH. The word Sierra was told to spell was “braille, ”referring to

29、 the written language for people unable to see. Sierra spelled it out correctly, but the judges master sheet had the word written down as “b-r-a-i-l-e, ”with one l missing. The audience immediately recognized the judges mistake. So did Sierra. “I looked around at the audience, half of them were look

30、ing at each other, complaining quietly, ”said Sierra, speaking to KMPH. She went home with a second place prize, but was frustrated, realizing that perhaps she could have won the first place prize. Determined to move on to the next level, Sierra appealed her disqualification. At first, the county re

31、jected her appeal. Fortunately, the school community got behind her. Her school supported the appeal and won. Sierra will now advance to the Fresno County Spelling Bee. If she wins Fresno, she will then go on to represent her county in the California State Spelling Championships. Beyond each states

32、spelling bee is the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Winners from state championships move on to compete against each other, as well as against students from countries outside the United States.

37、anding facilities for more than 20 years. However, the hotels newly appointed general manager Gerd Knaust says it is the people that make the hotel successful. More than 380 employees have been working with the hotel for more than 15 years. Some of them have personal relationships with customers. “I

38、ts a people-relation business, ” Knaust says. “They really tell me about the stories in the last 15 years. Its something very nice to listen to. Its also a lasting memory for the guests. ”In fact, over the years, some of the guests have stayed in the hotel 200 or even 300 times. Knaust, who has been

39、 working in the hospitality industry for more than 30 years, started his career as a chef in Germany. During his early 30s, Knaust already moved to the top in the culinary(烹调的)field as director of kitchen of Hyatt Regency Cologne in Germany. After holding several general manager positions in Mandari

40、n Oriental hotels, Knaust joined Hilton International as the general manager to open the Conrad and Doubletree by Hilton at Haitang Bay, Sanya in 2010. When he was appointed as the general manager of Hilton Shanghai in November, he not only was heavily involved in recruitment, sales and marketing st

41、rategies but also worked closely with the food and beverage team to develop the hotels restaurant concepts and menus. “I believe that we should offer quality and healthy food. ” he says. Knaust believes that a hotel must value the customers comments on Ctrip, Trip Advisor and other platforms, etc. .

45、national hotel in Shanghai. B. How to manage a hotel well. C. Knausts management idea. D. Knausts life story. CLong after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing decisions that denied victory to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the perf

46、ormance of some top referees. The researcher organized an experimental tournament involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge. Observers noted down the referees errors, of which there were 61 over the

47、tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When

48、 the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20 meters. There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving

49、 at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, footballs international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than

50、rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. He also says that FIFAs insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. 65. The experiment conducted by the researcher was meant t

51、o_. A. review the decisions of referees at the 1998 World CupB. analyse the causes of errors made by football refereesC. set a standard for football refereeingD. reexamine the rules for football refereeing66. The findings of the experiment show that_. A. errors are more likely when a referee keeps c

52、lose to the ballB. the farther the referee is from the incident, the fewer the errorsC. the more slowly the referee runs, the more likely errors will occurD. errors are less likely when a referee stays in one spot67. The word “officials” (Para. 4)most probably refers to_. A. the researchers involved

53、 in the experimentB. the inspectors of the football tournamentC. the referees of the football tournamentD. the observers at the site of the experiment68. What is one of the possible conclusions of the experiment? A. The ideal retirement age for an experienced football referee is 45. B. Age should no

54、t be the chief consideration in choosing a football referee. C. A football referee should be as young and energetic as possible. D. An experienced football referee can do well even when in poor physical condition. D(2014湛江模拟)What do you do if you dont get into your first choice of university? Thats

55、the dilemma that thousands of British students face every year. Many candidates turn to Clearing, the service that helps find university places for students at the last moment. If they dont have the marks to get into their first choice of institution, Clearing tells them about places available at ot

56、her universities, though they might have to read another subject. But this year has seen a record number of people applying to university. This, combined with the weak economy, an uncertain job market and budget cuts at universities, means that theres been even more of a scramble for places than usu

57、al. Some sources say six students have applied for each remaining undergraduate university place. The British university admissions service, UCAS, says up to a quarter of this years university applicantsalmost 190, 000 peoplestill dont have a place on a degree course. Thats a rise of over 46, 000 st

58、udents from last year. Faced with these figures, some British students might be thinking of an interesting alternative: studying abroad. The University of Nottingham, for example, is offering places at its campuses in Ningbo, near Shanghai, and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Students here can gain Universi

59、ty of Nottingham degrees in business, accounting, engineering and English. Similarly, the University of Bolton says it has “unlimited” places at its campus in the United Arab Emirates. Given the problems getting into university, the UKs Higher Education Minister, David Willetts, encourages students

60、who havent made the grade to consider alternatives to university, such as apprenticeships and studying at home. “There are a range of options available, ”he says. “People are able to reapply. They should think how they can spend their year adding that bit to their CVs, which would help their applica

61、tiongetting practical work experience or extra skillsanything that strengthens their chances next year. ”But some experts say that rising university costs, poor long-term job prospects, and a drop in graduate recruitment mean its the worst time to be a university student in the UK. 69. When the auth

62、or says this year “theres been even more of a scramble for places”(Para. 3), he means_. A. more people have applied to universityB. there is more competition between the candidatesC. there are more services that help find university placesD. more places are available70. According to UCAS, there are about _ university applicants this year. A. 190, 000B. 46, 000C. 236, 000D. 760, 00071. David Willetts encourages students faced with the lack of places on a de
