11.Americans consider baseball as an American sport.They often refer to something being"as American as baseball and apple pie".But is baseball really an American sport?And what are the origins of baseball anyway?
The American game of baseball more than likely came from several European ball games. Russia had an early form of baseball and so did Germany and Romania.People in England played a game called"stool ball."In this game,the pitcher (投手) tried to hit a stool (凳子) or chair with a ball,and the batter (擊球手) used a stick to keep the ball away.But American baseball was most likely based on another English game,which is called"rounders".Players use a soft ball rather than a hard ball while playing rounders.
So when was the first real game of"baseball"played?It seems that it took place in the 1840s. The father of baseball was Alexander Cartwright,who organized a baseball club in New York. Cartwright developed 20rules that distinguished baseball from previous ball games.
In 1858,the first organized baseball league-the National Association of Baseball Players-was formed.This league began charging fans to watch the games.However,the players were all amateurs and did not get paid.In 1869,the Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay their players. Since they could hire the best players,Cincinnati won 57games and lost none in their first season. As a result,other teams decided to hire players too.By 1871,the National Association was the first professional baseball league.
Today baseball is liked very much in America.Top professional baseball players earn millions of dollars each year.There are two professional leagues-the National League and the Amcrican League.The best teams from these two leagues compete for the baseball championship evcry year.

8l.How do Amcricans think of baseball?(no more than 3words)An American sport
82.Where did the American baseball most probably come from?(no more than 5words)English game called"rounders"
83.Why was Alexander Cartwright called"the father of baseball"?(no more than 16words)Because he organised a baseball club and developed 20 rules distinguished baseball from previous ball games.
84.What does the passage mainly talk about?(no more than 5words)the history of American baseball.

分析 本文講述美國棒球運動的歷史:從它的起源到第一場正式比賽,再到第一個棒球協(xié)會,直到今天的廣受歡迎.

解答 1.An American sport
2.English game called"rounders"
3.Because he organised a baseball club and developed 20 rules distinguished baseball from previous ball games.
4.the history of American baseball
1. An American sport  細節(jié)題. 由開頭"Americans consider baseball as an American sport.They often refer to something being'as American as baseball and apple pie'"可知美國人將棒球運動視為"美國運動",An American sport 為關(guān)鍵詞.
2.English game called"rounders"細節(jié)題.由第二段"But American baseball was most likely based on another English game,which is called'rounders'"可知答案為 English game called"rounders".
3.Because he organised a baseball club and developed 20 rules distinguished baseball from previous ball games.細節(jié)題.問題:為什么 Alexander Cartwright 被稱作"棒球之父"?由文中"…who organized a baseball club in New York.Cartwright developed 20 rules…"可知原因,這說明了他對棒球發(fā)展所做出的貢獻.
4.the history of American baseball  細節(jié)題.本文的主旨是講述美國棒球運動的歷史:從它的起源到第一場正式比賽,再到第一個棒球協(xié)會,直到今天的廣受歡迎.故 the history of American baseball 符合題意.

A.February-it's one of the most pleasant months of the year.Most days have clear,sunny skies and the average temperature is a very cool 14°C.With an average monthly rainfall of only 20mm it is also one of the driest months.
B.April-it's a warm spring month with moderate temperatures averaging around 21°C,and it is very wet,with 200mm rainfall on average for the month.
C.June-although it is the start of summer with average temperatures reaching a hot 28°C,you will not see much sun as it is usually very cloudy.It is also one of the wettest months of the year with frequent rain and average monthly rainfall of 240mm.
D.August-it is the hottest month of the year with average temperatures of 30°C.Generally very sunny during the day,but with frequent heavy rain showers in the evening that make it the wettest month of the year with an average monthly rainfall of 280mm.
E.October-this mid-autumn month is still pleasantly warm with average temperatures of 20°C.Days are mostly cloudy and overcast although rainfall levels are relatively low,averaging 70mm for rain for the month.
F.December-it is one of the coldest months of the year with average temperatures of 13°C.Night can be very cold.Mostly sunny,with a moderate average monthly rainfall of 60mm.
71.Corn-it requires a warm weather for strong and rapid growth.As it needs very wet soil,choose a time when there will be plenty of rain.High temperatures will cause corn to lose its sweet flavor.
72.Tomatoes-these popular plants are easy to grow as they can resist most pests and diseases.They require low temperatures,plenty of direct sunlight and dry conditions for best results.
73.Onions-these are a cold-season crop,easy to grow in the right conditions.They need a moderate amount of rain to keep the soil damp,but too much will cause them to rot.They should be planted during sunny period,as they grow best with plenty of direct sunlight.
74.Eggplants-these are tropical or subtropical,hot-season vegetables that need lots of direct sunlight.They grow best when the weather is very hot and there is plenty of water in the soil.
75.Potatoes-the taste of home-grown potatoes is far superior to store bought ones.They need a mild to warm conditions and relatively dry soil for best growth.They also require cloudy,overcast conditions for most of the time to prevent sunburn.

3.Everyone's at it,even my neighbors.I thought I might be the only person left in the world who hadn't done an eBay deal.So I decided to try my hand at online auction.
Buying for beginners:Sign up on www.eBay.co.uk.Most items (e.g.tables,computers,and books) ready for auction will come with a picture and a short description; others may be marked with"Buy It Now"and have a fixed price.You can buy these right away.
If the item is being auctioned,you offer the highest price you are prepared to pay and eBay bids for you.The bid will be increased little by little until it goes beyond your highest bid,then you are emailed and asked if you would like to bid again.Auctions last up to 10days,and when they finish you get an email telling you whether you have won the item.
How to pay:Sellers decide how they would like to be paid and you need to check this before placing a bid as you might not want to post a cheque or postal orders.The easiest way is through PayPal,an online payment system that takes the money away from your credit card.
Selling made simple:If you plan to sell on eBay,it helps to include a picture of the item.I followed my friends'advice and put up the items I wanted to sell for a 10-day auction,starting on a Thursday.This way buyers had two weekends to bid.
The big things in life:It's easy to post a small item,but furniture is a big part of eBay and this has to be collected or sent by delivery men.Check the ways of delivery before you bid.
