treasure. For thousands of years, he could sail on it. But he could
not got far beneath（在……下方）its surface.
Man wants to explore deep into the sea.
However, he is not a fish. He must breathe air, so he can't stay
under the water's surface for any length of time. To explore deep
water, man faces even more dangers and problems.
A diver who wants to stay under water
for more than a few minutes must breathe air or a special mixture
of gases. He can wear a diving suit and have air pumped（打气）to him
from above.& He can carry a tank of air on his
back and breathe through a hose（软管）and a mouthpiece（接口管）. Water
weighs 800 times as much as air. Tons of water pushes against a
diver deep in the sea. His body is under great pressure（压力）.
When a diver is under great pressure,
his blood takes in some of the gases he breathes. As he rises to
surface, the water pressure becomes less. If the diver rises too
quickly,& the gases in his blood form bubbles（气泡）.
The diver is then suffering from the bends（潜水员病）. The bends can
cause a diver to double up in pain. They can even kill him.
the whole, this passage is about _____.

special mixtures of gases in deep sea

diving under the water too quickly causes a kind of illness
&&&&&&&&D.&

【103049】 I arrived
in the United Stated on February 6, 1966, but I remember my first
day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane
landed at Kennedy Airport at three o'clock in the afternoon. The
weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to
mind. From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On
the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I
stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made
beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and then left me
because he had to go back to work.& He promised to
return the next day.
Shortly after my friend had left, I
went to a restaurant near hotel to get something to eat. Because I
couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't tell the waiter what I
wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the
waiter didn't understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the
man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk
along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie
theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel
tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see
everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted
When I returned to the hotel, I was
tired out, but I couldn't sleep because I kept hearing the fire and
police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New
York. It was a very big and interesting city with many tall
buildings, big cars, and full of noise and busy people. I also
decided right then that I had to learn to speak English.

【103051】 Prehistoric men and women
enjoyed a more varied diet（饮食）than people do now, since they ate
species（种类）of plant and several hundred thousand types of living
things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever
domesticated（驯化）. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards
specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The
food of rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is
speedily distributed in supermarkets, but the choice annually
becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves
become more standardized. We live in the world of the carrot
specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and
the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of eighteen
tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis Altschul asks: "Only the tree
major cereals（谷物）and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species
stand between famine and survival for the world's human population
and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for
several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: are we
missing something?" After all, there are 800,000 species of plant
prehistoric times people _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
ate much more than we do today
&&&&&&&&B.&
lived mainly on plant food
&&&&&&&&C.&
had a wide-ranging diet
&&&&&&&&D.&
were more fussy about what they ate
&&&&&&&&2.
Most of us have come to expect _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
no variation in our diet
&&&&&&&&B.&
a reduction in food supplies
&&&&&&&&C.&
a specialist diet
&&&&&&&&D.&
food conforming to a set standard
&&&&&&&&3.
The specialization of food was started by _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
the emergence of supermarkets
&&&&&&&&B.&
the rise of agriculture
&&&&&&&&C.&
the rich countries
&&&&&&&&D.&
the modern shops
&&&&&&&&4.
According to the passage, people in the West today survive on
&&&&&&&&A.&
carrots and tomatoes
&&&&&&&&B.&
several thousand types of plants and cereals
&&&&&&&&C.&
a very small number of cultivated foods
&&&&&&&&D.&
special species planted one thousand years age
&&&&&&&&5.
The conclusion seems to be that we _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
could make use of more natural species
&&&&&&&&B.&
don't cultivate the right kind of food
&&&&&&&&C.&
produce more food than we need
&&&&&&&&D.&
cultivate too many different species
&&&&&&&&答案：
【103059】 Suppose we built a
robot（机器人）to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with
seeing detectors（探测器）to keep it away from danger. It is powered
entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally
active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a
time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it
to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next
According to the
evolutionary（进化的）theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a
regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The
theory does not deny（否认）that sleep provides some important
restorative functions（恢复功能）. It merely says that evolution has
programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity
would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep
protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into；it
does not protect us form trouble that comes looking for us. So we
sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep
lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the
The evolutionary theory explains the
differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for instance,
sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not
need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But
cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they
spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they
sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating,
because what they eat is very low in energy value. Moreover, they

【103060】 Tim Berners-Lee is the man who
wrote the software（软件）programme that led to the foundation of the
World Wide Web. Britain played an important part in developing the
first generation of computers. The parents of Tim Berners-Lee both
worked on one of the earliest commercial（商业的）computers and talked
about their work at home.& As a child he would
build models of computers from packaging material. After graduating
from Oxford University he went on to the real thing. In the 1980s
scientists were already communicating using a primitive
version（原始版本）of e-mail. While working at a laboratory in
Switzerland, Tim Berners-Lee wrote a programme, which let him store
these messages. This gave him another idea: write a programme that
will let academics（学术界人士）from across the world share information on
a single place. In 1990 he wrote the HTTP（服务程序所用的协议）and
HTML（超文本链接标示语言）programmes which form the basis of the World Wide
The next year his programmes were
placed on to the Internet. Everyone was welcome to use them and
improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes（编码）to work
with different operating systems. New things like web
browsers（浏览器）and search engines were developed. Between 1991 and
1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.
In 1994 Tim Berners-Lee formed the
newly formed World Wide Web Consortium（协会），or W3C. More than 200
leading companies and laboratories are represented（代表）by W3C.
Together they make sure that everyone can share equally on the web.

【103064】 Normally a student must attend
a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course
which he attends gives him a credit（学分）which he may count towards a
degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree
is made up of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester（学期）.
A typical course is made up of three classes per week for fifteen
weeks；while attending a university a student will probably attend
four or five courses during each semester. Normally a student would
expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. It is
possible to spread the period of work for the degree over a longer
period. It is also possible for a student to move between one
university and another during his degree course, though this is not
in fact done as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a
student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is
useful for the student to show to prospective（未来的）employers. All
this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite
of this some students still find time for great activity in student
affairs. Elections to positions in student organizations arouse
much enthusiasm（热心）. The effective（有效的）work of obeying rules is
usually performed by students who advise the academic
authorities（权威）. Any student who is thought to have broken the
rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student
court. With the great numbers of students, the operation of the
system does involve（牵涉，包含）a certain amount of activity. A student
who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected
and it will be of benefit to him later in this career.
Normally a student would at least attend _____ classes each
&&&&&&&&A.&
&&&&&&&&B.&
&&&&&&&&C.&
&&&&&&&&D.&
&&&&&&&&2.

to get two degrees from two different universities
&&&&&&&&3.
American university students are usually under pressure of work
because _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
their academic performance will affect their future careers
&&&&&&&&B.&
they are heavily involved in student affairs
&&&&&&&&C.&
they have to observe university discipline
&&&&&&&&D.&
they want to run for positions of authority
&&&&&&&&4.
Some students are enthusiastic for positions in student
organizations probably because _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
they hate the constant pressure and strain of their study
&&&&&&&&B.&
they will then be able to stay longer in the university
&&&&&&&&C.&
such positions help them get better jobs
&&&&&&&&D.&
such positions are usually well paid

【103067】 The journey two
divers（潜水员）made some time ago to the very deepest point on the
earth make us realize how much of the world still remains to be
studied. The two men went down seven miles to the bottom of the
Pacific Ocean inside a small ball to find out if there are any
ocean currents（水流）or signs of life.
It was necessary to set out early, so
that the ball would come to the surface in daylight, and so be
easily found by the mother ship which would be waiting for it. The
divers began preparations（准备）early in the morning and soon
afterwards, when all was ready, the steel ball disappeared under
the surface of the water.
The divers felt as if they were going
down steps as they passed through warm and cold layers（层）of water.
In time, the temperature dropped to freezing point. They kept in
touch with the mother ship by telephone telling how they felt.
Then, at a depth（深度）of 3,000 feet, the telephone stopped working
and they were quite cut off from the outside world. All went well
until some four hours later at 30,000 feet, the men were frightened
by a loud, cracking（爆裂）noise: even the smallest hole in the ball
would have meant instant death. Luckily, though, it was only one of
the outer（外部的）windows that had broken. Soon afterwards, the ball
touched the soft ocean floor raising a big cloud of "dust" made up
of small dead sea-creatures. Here, powerful lights lit up the dark
water and the men were surprised to see fish swimming just above
them quite untroubled by the great water pressure（压力）. But they did
not dare to leave the lights on for long , as the heat from them
made the water boil. Quite unexpectedly, the telephone began
working again and the faint（微弱的）but clear voices of the divers were
heard on the mother ship seven miles away. After a stay of thirty
minutes the men began their journey up, arriving three hours later,
cold and wet through, but none the worse for their experience.
purpose of the diver's journey to the deepest point on the earth
was to find _____.&
&&&&&&&&A.&
if there are water currents and life in the great depths
&&&&&&&&B.&
if people can stand the severe cold in the great depths

【103076】 "I ask you to drink to his
health as a young man full of the spirit of adventure who has lit
up the world with a flash of courage. "With these
words,& the British Minister of Air turned and
raised his glass to the young man who sat beside him-a young man
who, only a month before, was completely unknown. Yet on that
summer day in 1927 his name was on the world's lips-Charles
Lindbergh, the first man to fly the Atlantic alone.
He had been an air mail pilot, flying
back and forth between Chicago and the city of St. Louis.
Determined to win the $5, 000 prize offered by a fellow American
for the first flight form New York to Paris, Lindbergh had
persuaded a group of St. Louis businessmen to finance the building
of a special plane for him.
The news that Lindbergh intended to fly
the Atlantic alone was received with disbelief. The plane would
never fly, people said. It would run out of fuel. It had only a
single engine. Lloyds of London refused to insure the flight. Men
called Lindbergh the "flying fool".
But on May 20th, 1927, just after ten
to eight in the morning, Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis", heavily
laden with fuel, struggled into the air from a New York airfield.
For several hours the weight of the petrol prevented the young
pilot from flying more than a few feet above the wave-tops. Night
came and thick fog covered up the stars. Lindbergh flew steadily
on, hoping that his course was the right one. He struggled to keep
awake, checking the fuel all the time to keep his mind active.
Throughout the next day the "Spirit of St. Louis" flew on over the
seemingly limitless sea. Then a fishing boat appeared, and, an hour
later, land. It was Ireland. Lindbergh set a compass course for
By ten o'clock the lights of France's
capital were shining beneath him. Tired, unshaved, suddenly hungry,
the "flying fool" came down to Le Bourget airport, and landed in
front of a huge crowd of wildly cheering people. After 34 hours of
continuous piloting, the flight of 3, 600 miles was over.
British Minister of Air _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&

【103084】 Although April did not bring
us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley
doesn't generally experience the sound and lightning that can go
with those rains, it's still important for parents to be able to
answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.
The reason these two wonders of nature
are so difficult for many adults（成年人）to explain to children is that
they are not very well understood by adults
themselves.& Fox example, did you know that the
lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is
actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth ? Our eyes trick us
into thinking we see a downward motion when it's actually flashing
up to a cloud from the earth? Our eyes trick us into thinking we
see a downward motion when it's actually the other way around. But
then, if we believed only what we think and we see, we'd still
insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.
Most lightning flashes take place
inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between
two clouds or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2, 000
thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day
and night, there's enough activity to produce about 100 lightning
strikes on earth every second.
Parents can use thunder and lightning
to help their children learn more about the world around them. When
children understand that the light of lightning flashing reaches
their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder
takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to
time the interval（间隔）between the flash and the crash to learn how
close they were to the actual spark（闪光）.
According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley,
&&&&&&&&A.&
rains usually come without thunder and lightning
&&&&&&&&B.&
it is usually dry in April
&&&&&&&&C.&
children pay no attention to the two natural wonders
&&&&&&&&D.&
parents are not interested in thunder and lightning
&&&&&&&&2.
We believe that lightning is a downward motion because _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
we were taught so by our sense of vision
&&&&&&&&B.&
we are taken in by our sense of vision
&&&&&&&&C.&
it is a common natural sight
&&&&&&&&D.&
it is a truth proved by science
&&&&&&&&3.
What is true about lightning according to the passage? _____
&&&&&&&&A.&
Only a small number of lightning flashes occur on earth.
&&&&&&&&B.&
Lightning travels 5 times faster than thunder.
&&&&&&&&C.&
Lightning flashes usually jump from one cloud to another.
&&&&&&&&D.&
There are far more lightning strikes occurring on earth than we can
&&&&&&&&&&imagine.

&&&&&&&&B.&
"lightning strikes"
&&&&&&&&C.&
"lightning flashes"

"thunderstorms"
&&&&&&&&5.
It can be concluded from passage that _____.

things moving downward are more noticeable
&&&&&&&&C.&
people often have wrong ideas about ordinary phenomena（现象）

【103090】 A greenhouse is a building
made of glass which is used for keeping plants when the outside
temperature is low. In a similar way there are several gases in the
atmosphere which trap（捕捉）the heat produced by the sun and prevent
it from escaping. These gases are known as"greenhouse gases"，and
the way in which they trap heat in the atmosphere is called the
"greenhouse effect". This is not simply air pollution. Most of the
main greenhouse gases exist naturally in small amounts in our
atmosphere, and without them earth would be 30 degrees colder and
human life would not exist. In other words, the greenhouse effect
is a natural course which is to some degree helpful to us.
The problem is that in the last century
and a half, we have been putting too many of these gases into the
earth's atmosphere by burning large quantities of coal and oil and
by cutting down forests. The rapid increase in greenhouse gases is
making the world warmer. The world's temperature has already gone
up by half a degree this century, and the sea level has risen by 10
centimetres. If the amount of carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）in the atmosphere
doubles, there will probably be a rise in the earth's temperature
of between 1 and 4 degrees. This may seem a small increase, but it
would be enough to cause major changes in geography and
agriculture. Large areas of the world would be flooded, and some
areas would become dry and unable to produce crops. It is
important, too, to consider that there may be a delay of about 30
years in the greenhouse effect. This means that we are probably
experiencing only now the effect of the gases put into the
atmosphere before the 1960s. Since then, our use of these gases has
greatly increased.
The"greenhouse effect"means _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
the way in which gases are used for keeping plants warm
&&&&&&&&B.&
a natural course which is some degree helpful to us
&&&&&&&&C.&
the way"greenhouse gases"trap heat on the earth
&&&&&&&&D.&
the whole course in which greenhouse gases prevent heat
&&&&&&&&2.
If there were no greenhouse effect, _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
no plants would grow on our planet
&&&&&&&&B.&
earth would be thirty degrees colder
&&&&&&&&C.&
man could not live on the earth
&&&&&&&&D.&
All of the above answers are correct
&&&&&&&&3.
Which of the following is NOT true? _____
&&&&&&&&A.&
Burning too much coal and oil produces lots of greenhouse
&&&&&&&&B.&
It has become warmer on the earth now than in the past.
&&&&&&&&C.&
Gases put into the atmosphere now will affect the earth years
&&&&&&&&D.&
The temperature in a greenhouse is as high as that in the
atmosphere.
&&&&&&&&4.
Suppose the earth's temperature rose by 3 degrees, _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
great harm would be done to mankind
&&&&&&&&B.&
the sea level would go by 10 centimetres
&&&&&&&&C.&
all the land in the world would be flooded
&&&&&&&&D.&
crops would be unable to grow on the earth
&&&&&&&&5.
This passage mainly deals with _____.
&&&&&&&&A.&
the concept（概念）and harm of greenhouse effect
&&&&&&&&B.&
the relation between greenhouse gases and man

【103092】 Australia
is the world's smallest continent and largest island, a relatively
young nation established in an ancient land. Its development
represents a triumph（胜利）over remoteness and a harsh landscape.
It is generally accepted that
Australia's original inhabitants, the aboriginal（土著的）people, have
lived on the continent for 40,000 to 60,000 years. They were also
its sole（唯一的）human inhabitants until two centuries ago. Indonesian
traders probably visited Australia's northwest but it was unknown
to the rest of the world until the 1600s. A huge south land
appeared on maps before 200 AD but its existence was not confirmed
until the 17th century when Portuguese, Spanish and Dutch merchants
ventured into Asia.
The first European settlement of the
continent--by the British--began in 1788, on the site now occupied
by Sydney, Australia's largest city. There were then about 1500
Europeans and an estimated 300,000 aboriginal people in Australia.
The population has reached 2.25 million by
million by
1921 and 7.4 million by the end of World War II（1945）. It increased
sharply, partly because of a large postwar immigration program, and
reached more than 17 million in 1991, despite a decline that began
in the 1970s in the natural increase and net immigration. The rate
of population increase in the 40 years after world war II, about
two percent, has halved.
Australia is one of the most urbanized
countries in the world, with about 70 percent of the population
living in the 10 largest cities. Australians have a high standard
of living by world standards. The flag of Australia is the only one
to fly over a whole continent in the world. The small Union Jack
represents the historical link with Britain, the largest star has
six points for each of the states and one point for the
territories, and the small stars form the Southern Cross - a
prominent of the southern hemisphere night sky.

【103095】 Do you like to eat out? Do you
like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food ? Some people go
to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people
usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people
in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.
A man named Walter Scott had the first
"diner" in 1872. It wasn't really a diner. It was only a food cart.
People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts
served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a
late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887,
Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the
customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later,
people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down
Before long, many diners stayed open
around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner
at any time.& Diners changed in other ways, too.
The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It
included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition,

&&&&&&&&答案：
【103096】 Long bus rides are like
televisions shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an
end--with commercials thrown in every three or four minutes. The
commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or
not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus
window. "Buy Super Clean Toothpaste." "Drink Good'n Wet Root Beer."
"Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep, which is equal to
turning the television set off, are you spared the unending cry of
"You Need It! Buy It Now!"
The beginning of the ride is
comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you've traveled that way
before. Usually some things have changed--new houses, new
buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of
driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so.
If the driver is particularly reckless or daring, the ride can be
as thrilling as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in
time? Will the driver move into the right or the left-hand lane?
After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a
while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes
bus rides more interesting. But you've got to be careful of what
kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty
between stops.
The end of the ride is somewhat like
the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there's a kind of
expectation and excitement in that. The seat of course, has become
harder as the hours have passed. By now you've sat with your legs
crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm
rests--even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes
just at no more ways to sit.

【103097】 What do you do if you are hit
in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out? A dentist may be
able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the
dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that
it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is to put the
tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frank
Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other
researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He
tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture
medium（细胞培养液）. He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air.
He used teeth that had to be removed from people's mouth for
various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions（溶液）or
stored in the air for an hour. Then cells from the root of the
teeth were scraped（刮）off the teeth. Dr. Courts and the others then
studied how healthy these cells were.
The cell-culture medium worked best to
keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth．However，few
people keep cell-culture medium handy（手边的）at home or in school．The
next best thing was milk．But Dr. Courts said that the best thing of
all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its
socket（牙槽）in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too
painful or upsetting（令人心烦意乱的）. So milk will do, until you get your
tooth（and your mouth）to a dentist.

【103099】 Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth
put it when she said to father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if
you're dead."
Dad，in a hurry to get home before dark
so he could go for a run，had forgotten to wear his safety belt - a
mistake 75% of the US population make every day．The big question is
There have been many myths about safety
belts ever since their first appearance in cars forty years ago.
The following are three of the most common.
Myth Number One：It's best to be "thrown
clear" of a serious accident.
Truth：Sorry, but any accident serious
enough to"throw you clear"is also going to be serious enough to
give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have travelled
through a windshield（挡风玻璃）or door to do it. Studies show that
chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater
in cases where people are "thrown clear".
Myth Number Two：Safety belts "trap"
people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.
Truth：Sorry again, but studies show
that people knocked unconscious（昏迷）due to not wearing safety belts
have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing
safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear
head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be
trapped in them.
Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't
needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour（mph）.
Truth: When two cars traveling at 30
mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield
with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a
height of 10 meters.

【103101】 Boxing matches were very
popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers
fought with bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were
known as "prize-fighters". However, boxing was very crude, for
there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured
or even killed during a match.
One of the most colourful figures in
boxing history was Daniel Mendoza, who was born in 1764. The use of
gloves was not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of
Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was
technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude
prize-fighting into a sport, for he brought science to the game. In
his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by
rich and poor alike.
Mendoza rose to fame swiftly after a
boxing-match when he was only fourteen years old. This attracted
the attention of Richard Humphries, who was then the most eminent
boxer in England. He offered to train Mendoza and his young pupil
was quick to learn. In fact, Mendoza soon became so successful that
Humphries turned against him. The two men quarrelled bitterly and
it was clear that the argument could only be settled by a fight. A
match was held at Stilton where both men fought for an hour. The
public bet a great deal of money on Mendoza, but he was defeated.
Mendoza met Humphries in the ring on a later occasion and he lost
for a second time. It was not until his third match in 1790 that he
finally beat Humphries and became Champion of England. Meanwhile,
he founded a highly successful Academy and even Lord Byron became
one of his pupils. He earned enormous sums of money and was paid as
much as & 100 for a single appearance. Despite this, he was so
extravagant that he was always in debt. After he was defeated by a
boxer called Gentleman Jackson, he was quickly forgotten. He was
sent to prison for failing to pay his debts and died in poverty in
