1 . You may have heard of the word “pub” . It is short for public house. There are around 60,000 pubs in the U.K. One of the oldest pubs，Ye Olde Fighting Cocks in St. Albans，Hertfordshire，is located in a building that dates back to the eleventh century.

    1     People talk，eat，drink，meet their friends and relax there. Pubs often have two bars，one usually quieter than the other，and many have a garden where people can sit in summer. Children can go into pub gardens with their parents.

Groups of friends normally buy “rounds” of drinks.    2     It is sometimes difficult to get served when pubs are busy：The bar staff will usually serve those who have been waiting the longest at the bar first.

Most pubs offer a complete range of beers，local and imported，with German，Belgian and French beers being in demand.    3     As a matter of fact，pubs sell soft drinks，too.

The legal age to purchase alcohol is 18 in the UK. People aged 16 and 17，with the license's permission，may have only one glass of wine during a meal.    4     It is illegal to sell alcohol to someone who already appears drunk. A fourteen-year-old may enter a pub unaccompanied by an adult if he orders a meal. Children may enter a pub with their parents until 9 p．m.，which lets families enjoy reasonably priced pub meals together.     5    Customs in British pubs differ from those in American bars. In most pubs in the U.K.，you must go to the bar to order drinks and food and pay for your purchases immediately.

6 . Last summer, over 12,000 fans packed London’s Wembley Arena. Thousands more watched online, shouting and cheering. Were they watching soccer? No, they were watching e-sports or competitive PC gaming.

Millions of people in the UK play PC games for fun. Some of them have become professionals, playing games as their full-time job. The prize at the Wembley event totaled 3 million pounds. It’s not easy being a professional gamer, though. They practice for 10 or more hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. They do exercises like typing something and then trying to type it faster and faster. They also study videos of other players and plan ways to beat them.

Many people who play games also enjoy watching them. They often watch games on video sites like Twitch and YouTube, and in the UK there’s even a TV channel showing e-sports 24 hours a day. Matches can be exciting to watch. Just like in other sports, there are close games, last-minute victories and creative strategies (策略). Sometimes online viewers can interact with the players through instant messaging. For example, some supporters rename characters in the game with the names of their biggest supporters.

But are e-sports really sports? Are the players athletes? It’s easy to say, “No Way!” After all , professional gamers don’t need to run, jump or throw a hall. At the moment, the UK government classifies e-sports as a kind of game, not as a sport. But many people think that e-sports are sport. They say that players do need physical skills, especially hand-eye coordination (协调), quick action , accuracy and timing. In fact, the governments of China and South Korea do classify e-sports as sports, and professional gamers will soon be able to compete for medals at the 2022 Asian Games.

For many e-sports fans and players, though, the most important thing is that e-sports are growing in popularity and reputation.   E-sports are not important at the moment. If e-sports are not probably be soon.

7 . 阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

Thanks to the Chinese government scholarship, I was able to come to China and realize my dream as    1     international student. In my two years of Master's study, I collected a bunch of wonderful memories.

One of them was joining a hiking marathon or climbing to the top of a mountain. I did not win the marathon,     2     the sight of the beautiful landscapes along the way was enough for me. In China, I found that hiking was one of the best leisure     3    (activity) of Chinese people.

The visit     4     Zijin Mountain last year was the most challenging yet very memorable to me because of the bad weather in winter and the long hours of journey    5       ( reach) the top. The temperature at that time reached a freezing point. My hands were stone cold and my face    6       (go) very pale. When we reached the top, it was just so     7    (attract). The sunset view was the best of all. One of my friends took a photo of     8    (I) and my Chinese friend as if we were sharing the sun with our hands. We stayed on top for a while, until we felt that we should be leaving before we would     9     (total) freeze to death.

I believe that     10     (climb) mountains gives someone a sense of direction and a motivation to reach your goal no matter how hard or unimaginable it could be.

8 . Are you wondering whether it’s worth going for a little jog? Don’t hesitate, and get your sports shoes on. A new study shows that proper running lowers the risk of death before the normal time.

In a survey of 14 previous studies from the US and Denmark, the group of researchers from institutes in Australia and Finland concluded that running would probably lead to improvements in population health and longevity（长寿）.The studies involved 232,149 participants over time periods ranging from 5. 5 to 35 years.

On the whole, people running any distance were related with a 27% lower risk of death from all causes than those who did not, the study shows. Running was also related with a 30% and 23% lower risk of death from cardiovascular（心血管的）disease and cancer.

Previous studies had concluded “inconsistent findings” about whether running could lower the risk of death before the normal time, according to the researchers. Lead researcher Jim White, a professor at Victoria University in Melbourne, told CNN: “Our recent findings may encourage physically inactive individuals to take up running and those who already run to keep on doing it.”

He added that doctors may be encouraged by our findings to promote running as a part of “lifestyle medicine”. In their paper, which will be published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers say health professionals are sometimes wary of promoting running because vigorous（剧烈的）use of it has been linked with sudden heart death.

Jim and his team deny this by noting that the benefit of running outweighs the risk. However, they did say advice should be given on a case — by — case basis, as running might not be appropriate for everyone. Although running has a clear health benefit, the researchers point out that higher “doses” of running may not reduce the risk of death further. According to the WHO s guidelines, adults aged between 18 and 64 should take 150 minutes of gentle exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous exercise each week.

1. What did the new study focus on?

A．The benefit of jog.	B．People’s lifestyles.
C．People’s living conditions.	D．The popularity of jog.

2. What will the study contribute to according to Jim?

A．Doctors’ quicker treatment.	B．People’s losing weight.
C．People’s involvement in running.	D．Researchers’ promotion of sport.

3. What does the underlined word "wary" in paragraph 5 mean?

A．Certain.	B．Tired.
C．Cautious.	D．Confident.
