Unit 2 The Olympic Games阅读理解ASport is not only physically challenging, but it can also be mentally challenging. Criticism from coaches, parents, and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create an excessive amount of anxiety or stress for young athletes (运动员). Stress can be physical, emotional, or psychological, and research has indicated that it can lead to burnout. Burnout has been described as dropping or quitting of an activity that was at one time enjoyable.The early years of development are critical years for learning about oneself. The sport setting is one where valuable experiences can take place. Young athletes can, for example, learn how tocooperate with others, make friends, and gain other social skills that will be used throughout their lives. Coaches and parents should be aware, at all times, that their feedback to youngsters can greatly affect their children. Youngsters may take their parents' and coaches' criticisms to heart and find a flaw (缺陷) in themselves. Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not becomework for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process oflearning the sport and other life lessons. In today's youth sport setting, young athletes may beworrying more about who will win instead of enjoying themselves and the sport. Following a game,many parents and coaches focus on the outcome and find fault with youngsters' performances.Positive reinforcement should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates thatpositive reinforcement motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.1. An effective way to prevent the burnout of young athletes is ________.A. to make sports less competitiveB. to make sports more challengingC. to reduce their mental stressD. to increase their sense of success2. According to the passage sport is positive for young people because ________.A. it can help them learn more about societyB. it teaches them how to set realistic goals for themselvesC. it enables them to find flaws in themselvesD. it can provide them with valuable experiences3. According to the passage parents and coaches should ________.A. help children to win every gameB. pay more attention to letting children enjoy sportsC. enable children to understand the positive aspect of sportsD. train children to cope with stress4. The author's purpose in writing the passage is ________.A. to persuade young children not to worry about criticismB. to stress the importance of positive support to childrenC. to discuss the skill of combining criticism with encouragementD. to teach young athletes how to avoid burnoutBAs traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it. Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the art in many important activities.“It is important to promote this art to Americans or anyone who is interested in it.Maybe it will make this art more popular.”Woo said.From the art of paper cutting, people can know about Chinese cultural values, history and stories of people’s life. Ms Woo uses the art as a tool to show Chinese culture to people who know little about it. Chinese art is not only for Chinese, but also for people all over the world.5. What did Ms Woo do in 2014？A. She won the second prize in a national painting and art competition.B. She was invited to many activities to show paper cutting.C. She held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington.D. She took part in an activity to promote Chinese paper cutting.6. Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting .A. when she was fourteenB. after she got to AmericaC. when she was in collegeD. after she finished college7. In the passage, the writer thinks the art of paper cutting is now.A. very popular in AmericaB. very popular in ChinaC. for people who know about itD. in danger of disappearingCSports are all about change. A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new move on the basketball court. In 2006, two thingshappened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠军称号). But his greatest accomplishment（成就）might have been how much he changed during his career.When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous（极大的）talent.Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141.So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents（对手）. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others.Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.8. According to the writer, which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.B. He won 60 titles.C. He changed much during his career.D. He won 8 major championships.9. What does the underlined work “vow” in the 6th paragraph probably mean?A. promise.B. agree.C. wish.D. prove.10. What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?A. It is intended to help at-risk kids.B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.11. What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.B. How we can change for the better.C. Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.D. Some assessments(评价) about Agassi from different people.DYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick.And you need to understand a few basic rules about t he wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Isit coming from ahead or behindor from the side?”You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90°an gle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the b oat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boa t. It should be at a 45°angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough tocatch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap （摆动）It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it is flapping, it is pr obably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that directio n. It is possible, but youcan’t go in a straight line. You must go first in one direction a nd then in another.This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.12. What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors’strength.B. Wave levels.C. Wind directions.D. Size of sails.13. What does the word “It”underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The wind.C. The sail.D. The angle.14. What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.15. Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.七选五The Science of Risk-SeekingSometimes We decide that a little unnecessary danger is worth it because when we weigh the risk and the reward, the risk seems worth taking. 16 Some of us enjoy activities that would surprise and scare the rest of us. Why? Experts say it may have to do with how our brains work.The reason why any of us take any risks at all might have to do with early humans. Risk-takers were better at hunting, fighting, or exploring. 17 As the quality of Risk-taking was passed from on ration to the next, humans ended up with a sense of adventure and a tolerance for risk.So why aren’t we all jump ing out of airplanes then? Well, even 200,000 years ago, too much risk-taking could get one killed. A few daring survived, though, along witha few stay-in-the-cave types. As a result, humans developed a range of character types that still exists today. So maybe you love car racing, or maybe you hate it. 18No matter where you are on the risk-seeking range, scientists say that your willingness to take risks increases during your teenage years. 19 To help you do that, your brain increases your hunger for new experiences. New experiences often mean taking some risks, so your brain raises your tolerance for risks as well.20 For the risk-seekers a part of the brain related to pleasure becomes active, while for the rest of us, a part of the brain related to fear becomes active. As experts continue to study the science of risk-seeking, we’ll continue to hit the mountains, the waves or the shallow end of the pool.A．It all depends on your character.B．Those are the risks you should jump to take.C．Being better at those things meant a greater chance of survival.D．Thus, these well-equipped people survived because they were the fittest. E．This is when you start to move away from your family and into the bigger world. F．However, we are not all using the same reference standard to weigh risks and rewards.G．New brain research suggests our brains work differently when we face a nervous situation.完形填空Until 1954 it was thought that no man could run one mile in less than four minutes.

Unit 2The Olympic Games本套试卷分为第Ⅰ卷和第Ⅱ卷两部分。
总分120分。
考试时间100分钟。
第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AIt was a Saturday morning，a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks，I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds，sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club.My horse，Tonka, and I could run faster than any other kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车)．Although we never discussed it, my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent centre of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days，and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed towards the fairgrounds，picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on the floor, completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right？” he asked.“Yes.”I answered，although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass，”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back；the man was gone.I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.1．The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.A．take part in a horse racingB．buy Mum a blue ribbonC．join the local riding clubD．train his horse there2．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A．the family kept silent at homeB．the family lived a secret lifeC．Father was addicted to alcoholD．Mother was physically disabled3．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Once formed，bad habits are difficult to break.B．Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.C．However mean your life is，meet it and live it.D．Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbour in the storms.BSince I became a full-time freelancer(自由职业者), I've found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn't been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.I've quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you'll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.Don't read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlling breathing exercises or taking yoga exercises to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you're already halfway on your journey towards becoming an early riser.4．What do we know about the author?A．He has a full-time job outside. B．He likes lying in bed all day.C．He was once fired by a company. D．He has difficulty getting up early.5．The author gives us some tips to help us________.A．find the key to success B．become an early riserC．fall asleep within 10 minutes D．relax after a day's hard work6．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?A．It is a good way to reduce stress. B．It can help you sleep.C．It can make you worried. D．It will help you wake up earlier.CWhat an athlete eats before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for muscles is stored in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is very important to recovery and being ready for the next exercise.Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event.If you have an early morning race or exercise, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20～30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.Because glucose(葡萄糖) is the energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as fruit, bread, energy bars and drinks.Planning is necessary if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.7．Fully digesting before an event may________．A．cause stomach upset B．give enough energy and stomach discomfort C．give comfort and good performance during exercise D．lead to hunger during exercise8．From the passage we can learn________．A．you'd better have your pre-exercise meal after an early morning raceB．fruits and bread are high in glucose and easy to digestC．planning is not necessary for track meetsD．you can try something new for your meals on the event day9．What does the underlined word “digest” mean?A．Absorb. B．Interest. C．Disappear. D．Recover.10．What is the best title for the passage?A．Tips for eating before exercise B．What to eat during exerciseC．Fully digesting before exercise D．Planning for your exercise第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

say it might have been prevented if the boy had received the dental care he needed.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care should start at birth.They say breast milk is the best food for the healthy development of teeth.Breast milk can help slow bacterial growth and acid production in the mouth.When baby’s teeth begin to appear，you can clean them with a wet toothbrush.Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies，and use them very gently.The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world.This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies.The fluoride mixes with enamel(釉质)，the hard surface on teeth，to help prevent holes，or cavities from forming.But the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry points out that young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush their teeth.The group notes that swallowing fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems.So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth.And only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste，the size of a green pea，should be used.Parents often wonder what effects sucking a thumb or sucking on a pacifier might have on their baby’s teeth.Dentalexperts generally agree that this is fine early in life.The American Academy of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four.If it continues，the group advises parents to talk to their child’s dentist or doctor.It could influence the correct development of permanent teeth.16．The boy with a bad tooth died because________.A．his tooth disease was very deadlyB．the doctor refused to treat him properlyC．he didn’t receive timely treatmentD．something was wrong with his brain17．All the following statements are good to teeth except that ________.A．children live on breast milk every dayB．children begin to brush their teeth when they are old enoughC．children use fluoride toothpaste to brush their teeth D．children form the habit of sucking their thumbs18．The underlined word “supervised” in the fifth paragraph means “________”．A．watched and directed B．taught and helpedC．praised and advised D．led and pointed out19．Which one of the followings is NOT true according tothis passage?A．Dental care should be given to babies as soon as they are born.B．Special toothbrushes should be used for babies.C．Breast milk and fluoride are helpful to protect baby teeth.D．Dental experts suggest stopping babies sucking their thumbs.20．The best title of this passage is ________.A．The reason of a twelveyearold boy’s deathB．Baby teeth should be cared for from birthC．Breast milk and fluoride are importantD．How to help young children form good habitsBRoberto Clemente was one of the mosthonored baseball players in history.Manyplayers are known for their skills or therecords they broke.But Roberto was loved not only for his ability in sports，but also for the kind of person that he was.Roberto was born in 1934 in Carolina，Puerto Rico，whose family struggled financially.As a young boy，he helped his father，who worked on a sugar farm and also managed a store that sold food.In school，Roberto was an excellent runner.But more than anything，he loved playing baseball.Puerto Rico’s warm islandclimate made it easy for the young boy to play baseball all year.But he was good at throwing balls to a great distance.While in high school，Roberto played baseball for the Santurce Crabbers in the Puerto Rico’s Winter League.At 18，Roberto was already hitting a baseball better than many professional players in the United States.This ability was recognized the following year.An official from the Brooklyn Dodgers team in New York City came to Puerto Rico looking for new young players.The official，Al Campanis，was pleased with Roberto’s skills.He offered to give him a 10,000 dollar gift to play for the Brooklyn Dodgers.But Roberto was unable to join the major league team because he was still in high school.The young baseball player told Mr.Campanis that he would join the Brooklyn team as soon as he finished school.So Roberto joined the Brooklyn Dodgers after finishing high school.But Roberto began playing for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955.Roberto stood out among the other players in his team.The Pittsburgh Pirates did not do well the first few years when Roberto played in the team.But in 1960，everything changed.That year，he played in the first of his 12 AllStar games.Every year，the best players from the National and American leagues compete in an AllStar game.That same year，Roberto helped his team beat the New York Yankees to win the World Series—thenational baseball championship.Roberto died on December 31,1972，in a plane crash while attempting to deliver aid to earthquake victims in Nicaragua.21．Roberto Clemente was highly honored because________.A．of his intelligenceB．he had no competitorsC．he was kind and generousD．of his personality and skills22．What do we know about Roberto according to the text?A．Roberto was not helpful.B．His family lived a happy life.C．His father worked very hard.D．Roberto had no interest in sports.23．Why did Mr.Campanis offer

People sometimes say they're in the pink when they're in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the 20th century.It probably came from many babies who were born with a nice pink colour showing good health.Blue is a cool colour. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song—Mood Indigo—about the deep blue colour, indigo. In the words of the song：“You aren't blue till you've had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.The colour green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural colour for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as his friend's, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars of greenbacks.Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the colour of the back side of the paper money.The colour black is often used in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day.The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.【语篇解读】文章主要介绍了和颜色有关的习语。

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club（冬泳爱好者协会）and it has more than 2,000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water t emperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing. They enjoy themselves in the lake, while the people by the side of the lake are wearing heavy clothes.Why are so many people interested in winter-swimming? Because winter-swimming can be good for one’s health.Bei Sha is a good example. He is 69, and he once suffered from heart trouble for 26 years. After ten years of winter-swimming he is now in good health. Scientists are now studying the effects of winter-swimming on health.31.

The members do different jobs at different places.B. They come from all parts of Beijing.C. They are persons of different ages.D. They are men and women, old and young.33.

What’s the best title for this passage?A. People in Beijing Like Swimming in WinterB. Winter-swimming—A Craze（狂热）in BeijingC. People Benefit from Winter-swimmingD. Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenBRecently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (top).For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help Dr. Cleiman believe.If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(呵欠) and stretch (伸腰). Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.36. Dr. Cleiman didn’t explain in the passage__________.A. how people can make their life fit their cycleB. whether everyone has a daily cycle or notC. why people have their energy cycle of body at different timesD. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has37.For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?A .Either of them gets up late in the morningB.

Communities had almost twenty years to make the change. So some students went to school for seven years while others went for at least nine years.This difference gave researchers the chance to see if the additional schooling had any effect on intellectual development.All young men in Norway must take a test of their cognitive ability at age nineteen in preparation for required military service. This is commonly called an IQ，or intelligence quotient test.The researchers compared the test results of one hundred and seven thousand young men to their years of school. Taryn Ann Galloway is a researcher at the University of Oslo.“The young men who were basically forced to stay in school for two years longer actually did have higher IQs. So，based on that，we were able to say that increasing compulsory schooling did actually have an effect on their cognitive abilities as measured at nineteen years of age.” Taryn Ann Galloway says.The average IQ is one hundred. Most people score between eightyfive and one hundred fifteen.Ms.Galloway says students who attended school for nine years scored seven points higher than those who attended for seven years. Those who went for eight years scored about four points higher.Taryn Ann Galloway says，“So that’s still quite large.”The findings appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.Another recent study，in the journal Nature，found that IQ scores can rise or fall during the teenage years. In two thousand four，researchers from University College London tested thirty-three young people aged twelve to sixteen. They repeated the tests four years later. They found increases or decreases of as much as twenty points.Professor Cathy Price says the differences in performance could be the result of some teens being early or late developers. But she says it is equally possible that education played a part. She sees a lesson for educators：“We have to be careful not to write off poorer performers at an early stage when in fact their IQ may improve significantly given a few more years.”1．According to the passage，in Norway ________.A．teens stay at school longer than those in other countriesB．students usually begin school at 7C．the public must carry out the requirement at onceD．the government did a lot of things to improve students’ IQ2．Young men in Norway must take an IQ test at 19 ________.A．to help researchers do a study on intellectual developmentB．to see whether their IQ scores rise or fallC．to prepare for the required military serviceD．to b e allowed to graduate from the school3．How did the researchers do their study?A．By comparison. B．By asking questions.C．B y giving examples.

Today, most experts 21 you would be considered unwise.Even if you don’t sweat(出汗) much or feel 22 , and even if there is a nice wind, 23 experts say drinking water or something instead is 24 before, during and after all warmer-weather 25 .Only a few years ago, many coaches(教练) 26 players from drinking anything during the game —they thought it was 27 for them to rinse(漱口) their mouths, 28 swallowing anything might slow them down. Now, there’s 29 plenty of water on the side-lines for athletes to drink. The National Hockey League even 30 goal-keepers to put water bottles on top of their nets.These new practices shouldn’t be 31 on the recreational(消遣的) athlete. Some 32 advise you to drink about two cups of water fifteen minutes or so after you 33 exercising and the same amount every fifteen minutes. In some types of exercise —running, 34, others encourage drinking a cup or two of water with the workout.Don’t drink any more, experts say —too much fluid makes 35 and exercise uncomfortable. In 36, continuous hot-weather exercise, a(n) 37 can sweat and breathe away 1.8 kilograms of 38 an hour.Drinking water does two things: restores some weight and allows you to 39 sweating so the skin can be kept 40.

Every hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. As many as 6,000 people take part in over 20 sports．For the winners，there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor ,too，for al1 who compete，win or lose．That is in the spirit of the Olympics-to take part is what matters．The Olympic Games a1ways start in a bright color and action．The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track . The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held-the host country-marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch（火炬）then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath(宣誓)on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium,the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but it is a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in a different sport-riding,shooting,swimming,and cross-country running.Points are gained for each event.Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the games．They first competed in 1900, in tennis and go1f，which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912，But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports．In horse riding, shooting，and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men．41. Why is there honor for the losers as well as for the winners?A. Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.B. Because failure is the mother of success．C. Because losers need encouragement.D. Because losers and winner should be equally treated.42. Which of the following is a long-established practice in the opening ceremony?A. Runners enter the stadium with torches．B. Each team puts on a wonderfu1 display．C. Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.D. The Greek team marches in first．43. Who takes the Olympic oath?A. A sportsman from the host country.B. A judge from a foreign country．C. An officer from the host country.D. A Greek sportsman.44. What are the most important events in the Olympic Games?A. The horse-riding events.B. The track and field events.C. The swimming events.D. The boat-racing events.45. When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A. Inl912B. In 1928C. In 1900D. In 1924BGeorge and Carol were medical students at the same college, and like many other collegestudents, they enjoyed playing jokes on people .Both of them smoked, but they knew that their professor was strongly against it, because smoking was dangerous to one’s health. One day they decided to play joke on their professor.At one of their medical lectures there was always a skeleton（骨骼）in the room so that the professor could show the students different bones in the human body.That afternoon, Carol told George to put a cigarette in the mouth of the skeleton that was to be used to the next lecture.When the professor came in, he began talking and then noticed the cigarette. He went up to the skeleton, took the cigarette out of its mouth and said, “You really should give it up, old boy.Look what itis doing to you!”46.What do the professor’s words mean?A.

event in the Olympics is the marathon.It is also usually the most exciting.As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42－kilometre race，the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer.The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece.According to the story，a soldier ran from the scene of the battle，Marathon，to Athens，to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians.He died just after arriving.The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896.At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens.In 1908，however，at the London Olympics，it was changed.The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London.The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers.In fact，the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地)．When the leader，an Italian，entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground.Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line，just as the second runner，an American，entered the stadium.The Americans protested(抗议)and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner.Since then，there have been many more exciting marathons.In fact，you don't have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon，as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today.One of the most famous marathons is in New York，and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区)，and past New York's famous landmarks.But perhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon，which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be thehardest.But experts believe that most people—even people who are not particularly good at sport—can run a marathon，if they train for it.31．When the leader comes into the stadium，the crowd________．A．run to his or her feet happilyB．shout with excitementC．carry him or her to the finishing lineD．sing and dance32．Which is TRUE according to the passage?A．The name of the race comes from a battle in Greece.B．The soldier who ran from Marathon to Athens won a gold medal.C．The Marathon events in the Games have the same length all the time.D．From 1908，the Marathon events are of the same length.33．Who ran to the finishing line first in 1908?A．The American runner.B．The leading runner.C．The Greek winner.D．The Italian soldier.34．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Marathon is the most important event.B．Marathon is the most popular event.C．Marathon is the hardest event.D．Marathon is the final Olympic event.BWhen a child is told he is“uncool”，it can be very painful.He may say he doesn't care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose.But these are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful.If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn't matter！”，children know that it does matter.Instead，an active way may be best.You could say，“I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him.The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects.This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him.A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child.It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc.There are things that parents can do at home，too.Be friendly when your child brings others home to play.Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider delicious.When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out.Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own.35．A child who has been informed of being“uncool”may ________．A．care nothing about itB．do something uncool on purposeC．develop a sense of angerD．pretend to get hurt very much36．A teacher can help an unpopular child by ________．A．seeing the child as the teacher's favorite.B．asking the child to do something for partners.C．forcing other children to make friends with the child.D．offering the child chances to show his good qualities.37．Which of the following is TRUE?A．Children doesn't care others'comments on them.B．It's only teacher's work to make children popular.C．Parents should take their children out for picnic and shows more often.D．Inviting children's friends to family activities is good for them to make friends.38．The text is mainly about ________．A．how an unpopular child can be helpedB．why some children are unpopularC．what good qualities unpopular children haveD．who care about unpopular childrenCA couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty－six days in a life －raft(救生艇) in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.Twenty－one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales(鲸鱼)．“They started to hit the side of the boat，” said Bill, “and then suddenly we heard water.” Two minutes later, the boat was sinking.They jumped into the life－raft and watched the boat go under the water.For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water.They also had a fishing－line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water—two things which saved their lives.They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw(生的)．Then the line broke.“So we had no more fish until something very strange happened.Some sharks(鲨鱼) came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface.I caught them with my hands.”About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them.After fifty days at sea their life－raft was beginning to break up.Then suddenly it was all over.A fishing boat saw them and picked them up.They couldn't stand up.So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica.Their two months at sea was over.39．Bill and Simone were traveling ________ when they met some whales.A．in a life－raft B．in MiamiC．in Simony D．in Panama40．The whales hit the side of the boat, and then ________．A．they brought in a lot of waterB．they broke the side of the boatC．they pulled the boatD．they went under the water41．After their boat sank, the couple ________．A．jumped into the life－raftB．heard waterC．watched the boat go under waterD．stayed in the life－raft42．During their days at sea，________ saved their lives.A．tins of food and bottles of waterB．a fishing－line and a machineC．whales and sharksD．Twenty passing shipsDAmerica is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while －then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however，express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!43．The writer of this passage must be ________．A．a Chinese B．an AmericanC．a professor D．a student44．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.45．The underline d words“generous with our time”in paragraph 3 probably mean ________．A．strict with time B．serious with timeC．willing to spend time D．careful with time46．A suitable title for this passage would probably be“________”．A．Friendships between ChineseB．Friendships between AmericansC．Americans'and Chinese

Unit 2 The Olympic GamesⅠ.阅读理解(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AThe word “sport” first meant something that people didin their free ter it often meant hunting wild animalsand birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first usedfor organized games.This is the usual meaning of the wordtoday.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football,basketball, tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for the sport they play.These people are called professional (职业化的) sportsmen.They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than ￡3，000 a year.The stars can earn a lot more.International golf (高尔夫球) and tennis champions(冠军) can make more than￡50，000 in a year.Of course，only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals(个人), like golf, tennis and motor racing (赛车)．Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this：the stars can earn more money from advertising(做广告) than from sports.As an advertisement for sports equipment doesn't simply say“Buy our things.”It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as...”Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this.Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time.【语篇解读】本文介绍了体育运动的发展演变。

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care about criticism(批评).”“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”She didn’t care about critici sm made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens. “Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me last year and if she really cared for me, I’m sure she would have contacted(联系)me.”Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens. “In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.However, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final”world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.“I don’t think that---although I can’t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”Radcliffe is sure she can better her win ning London 2003 performance some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.Radcliffe clocked a time 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago. Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.46. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her ______.A. face criticism calmlyB. rest for five monthsC. love people around her moreD. develop respect for Liz47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.B. Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon.C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathonD. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.48. By saying “I can’t put a number on it “ , Radcliffe means she’s not sure ______.A. if she has the ability to set a new world recordB. if she can win another race though she has won many timesC. how many times a marathon runner can set the world recordD. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times49. According to the text, Radcliffe has won_____ London marathon title(s).A. oneB. twoC. threeD. four50. What can we learn from Radcliffe’s story?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Well begun is half doneC. A friend in need is a friend indeedD. Where there is a will, there is a way.BAthens will welcome the 2004 Olympic Games with open arms. Not only will the Games be returning to their birthplace, but they’ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history.The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been looking for ways to make the world’s largest sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host. Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have hosted the Olympics. And the games have never been held in Africa.It costs well over$4 billion t host the Olympic Games. And this is stopping many poorer countries from trying to win the bid. Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems, cannot even begin to make the bid.So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world. These ideas are to be put into practice soon---maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IOC wants to save up to $400 million.The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10,500.“Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,”said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball, softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running).“We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆),”said IOC president J acques Rogge.“Our dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games.”51. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. The Olympic Games have to be made smaller and less costlyB. The Olympic Games have to increase the number of sports.C. The Olympic games have to increase the number of athletes.D. The Olympic Games have to enlarge their global attraction.52. From the passage, we can know that the Olympics have been held in four continents EXCEPT____________.A. AsiaB. AmericaC. EuropeD. Africa53. The events which are most probably limited include ______ according to the passage.A. basketball, baseball and footballB. baseball, softball and volleyballC. softball, baseball and the modern pentathlonD. softball, fencing and pentathlon54. The purpose of writing the article is to ______.A. think highly of the Athens Olympic GamesB. make many poorer countries be able to organize the Olympics.C. increase the events of the Athens Olympic GamesD. make Athens enter a new period of Olympic historyCIt seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty. “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and sir en(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.”But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene.Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about.“Just about that time,” Hyde says, “ I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’s blown his engine. Now he had to stop.”“After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s licens eThat accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty—a thousand dollars for the new engine—not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving.55. The meaning of “panicked” in paragraph 2 is related to _______.A. happyB. fearC. angerD. hate56. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway?A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road.B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene.C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him.D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder.57. Which of the following statements is true?A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person.B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene.C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car.D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40.58. The driver of the Firebird _________.A. took a wrong turn on the wayB. had some trouble with his carC. was stopped by the police officerD. paid for the expenses of the accident59. What is probably the best title for the article?A. Losing His Way?B. Going My Way?C. Fun All the Way?D. Help on the Way?IV. 短文改错High school in the United States is usually dividing into 60._________Two periods—the first two and three years is called “junior 61.__________high school”and other is “senior high school”.

AIt is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living。
This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just a way of making a living，people don’t need to spend so much time in school。
People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone。
Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail，either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well—rounded and it is mainly for improving a man。

It is also usually the most exciting. As the leader comes into the stadium to run the last few meters of the 42－kilometre race，the crowd rises to its feet to shout and cheer. The name of the race comes from a battle in Ancient Greece. According to the story，a soldier ran from the scene of the battle，Marathon，to Athens，to bring the news of a Greek victory against the Persians. He died just after arriving.The marathon has been an Olympic event since the modern games started in 1896.At first the distance was 40 kilometers—the distance between Marathon and Athens. In 1908，however，at the London Olympics，it was changed. The King of England wanted the runners to leave from his castle in Windsor and arrive in a new stadium in central London. The distance was 26 miles—about 42 kilometers. In fact，the 1908 marathon ended dramatically(戏剧性地)．When the leader，an Italian，entered the stadium he turned the wrong way and fell onto the ground. Officials picked him up and helped him to the finishing line，just as the second runner，an American，entered the stadium. The Americans protested(抗议)and in the end the American runner was declared(宣布)the winner. Since then，there have been many more exciting marathons.In fact，you don't have to wait for the Olympic Games to run or watch a marathon，as there are marathons in over sixty countries and hundreds of cities around the world today. One of the most famous marathons is in New York，and is watched by two million people around the streets and across the bridges of the city's five boroughs(纽约市的行政区)，and past New York's famous landmarks. Butperhaps one of the most beautiful and extraordinary(最特别的)marathons ever is the Great Wall Marathon，which most competitors find is the toughest course to run.The marathon is the final Olympic event because it is thought to be the hardest. But experts believe that most people—even people who are not particularly good at sport—can run a marathon，if they train for it. 36．When the leader comes into the stadium，the crowd________．A．run to his or her feet happilyB．shout with excitementC．carry him or her to the finishing lineD．sing and dance37．Who ran to the finishing line first in 1908?A．The American runner.B．The leading runner.C．The Greek winner.D．The Italian soldier.38．Which is the most special of the marathon events in the world?A．The Marathon in New York.B．The Marathon in the Beijing Olympic Games.C．The Great Wall Marathon.D．The Marathon in London in 2012.39．What's the main idea of the passage?A．Marathon is the most important event.B．Marathon is the most popular event.C．Marathon is the hardest event.D．Marathon is the final Olympic event.BWhen a child is told he is“uncool”，it can be very painful. He may say he doesn't care，and even act in ways that are opposite of cool on purpose. Butthese are simply ways to handle sadness by pretending it's not there.Helping a child feel better in school had to be careful. If you say，“Why are you worried about what other children think about you？It doesn't matter！”，children know that it does matter. Instead，an active way may be best. You could say，“I'm going to do a couple of things for you to help you feel better in school.”If a boy is having trouble making friends，the teacher can help him. The teacher can arrange things so that he has chances to use his abilities to contribute to class projects. This is how the other children learn how to value his good qualities and to like him. A teacher can also raise a child's popularity in the group by showing that he values that child. It even helps to put him in a seat next to a very popular child，or let him be a partner with that child in activities，etc.There are things that parents can do at home，too. Be friendly when your child brings others home to play. Encourage him to invite friends to meals and then serve the dishes they consider delicious. When you plan trips，picnics，movies，and other shows，invite another child with whom your child wants to be friends.What you can do is to give him a chance to join a group that may be shutting him out. Then，if he has good qualities，he can start to build real friendship of his own.40．A child who has been informed of being “uncool” may ________．A．care nothing about itB．do something uncool on purposeC．develop a sense of angerD．pretend to get hurt very much41．A teacher can help an unpopular child by ________．A．seeing the child as the teacher's favorite.B．asking the child to do something for partners.C．forcing other children to make friends with the child.D．offering the child chances to show his good qualities.42．How can parents help their child fit in better?A．By cooking delicious food for him.B．By being kind to his schoolmates.C．By forcing him to invite friends home.D．By taking him to have picnics in the park.43．The text is mainly about ________．A．how an unpopular child can be helpedB．why some children are unpopularC．what good qualities unpopular children haveD．who care about unpopular childrenCI used to know nothing about fairy tales. To improve my reading skills, my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand. I didn't even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight. Of course once I found out about books of this type, I would read them as quickly as I could.Again and again, I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few. Finally, my request was granted. After our return from the library, I started reading them eagerly and energetically, one after another. And I tried to put myself in the female character's shoe. I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue, and then they would live happily ever after.I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales. Looking straight in my eyes, she told me that life is not like a fairy tale. There are good and bad things that will happen through life. At the end though, there is not a man that will come and “save” us. We do not need saving; we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones; we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us. Life is not about “happily ever after”．What then is life about mom? Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you, even the annoying things. He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live, laugh and love together. But things are not going to be perfect. You still have to face difficulties together, working hard for your relationship.44．Before the age of eight, the author________．A．received no formal educationB．took no interest in reading booksC．didn't read any books of fairy talesD．was forced to improve her reading skills45．What happened to the author after she attended public school?A．She started to like reading.B．She was crazy about fairy tales.C．Her mother always took her to the library.D．Her mother didn't allow her to read books of fairy tales.46．How does the author's mother like fairy tales?A．A must for her kid.B．Unnecessary for her kid.C．Easy for her kid to understand.D．Helpful in building her kid's character.47．The author's mother intends to explain that__________．A．life is not perfectB．no pains, no gainsC．life is about sharingD．one needs to live on his/her ownDAmerica is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while－then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, evenyears later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time．Sometimes，we，as hosts，will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however，express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!48．The writer of this passage must be ________．A．a Chinese B．an American C．a professor D．a student 49．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A．Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families. B．Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break. C．Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D．Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.50．The underlined words “generous with our time”in paragraph 3 probablymean ________．A．strict with time B．serious with timeC．willing to spend time D．careful with time51．A suitable title for this passage would probably be“________”．A．Friendships between ChineseB．Friendships between AmericansC．Americans' and Chinese people's views of friendshipsD．Americans' hospitalityEIs early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine Online explains that “the younger the child is, the less his chances of catching up with first－grade work.”I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier.Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”，as the gains are lost in middle and high schoolyears. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life's success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.52．The government values the early childhood education in order to________．A．develop the children's communicationB．help the children to learn by playingC．get the children prepared for the kindergartenD．train the children formally and regularly53．According to the studies，________．A．children with good early education may have a rich lifeB．the orphaned children are usually unhappy in their lifeC．children without early education can do well at schoolD. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children54．The underlined word “frustrated” in Paragraph 3 means________．A．dissatisfied B．unsuccessfulC．disappointed D．dishonest55．The main idea of the last passage is that________．A．the early childhood education is very necessaryB．Head Start programs have helped the children a lotC．environment is the most important to life's successD．better ways should be found to help the poor childrenⅣ.书面表达(满分25分)众所周知，体育运动在人们生活中的作用越来越重要了。
