AThe Olympic flameThe Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred（神圣的）flame burned at the altar of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932.Carl Diem, chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted（采纳）, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952.The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner. Olympic motto“Citius, altius, forties”is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance. Olympic oath（宣誓）“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them… in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.”Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes’ oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath with slightly different wording.21. When was the Olympic flame first burned in modern times?A. In 1920.B. In 1924.C. In 1932.D. In 1936.22. What can we learn from the passage?A. The Olympic torch has burned since 1924.B. Before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games.C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games.D. The first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games.23. The Olympic motto was ________.A. written by Baron de CoubertinB. from GreekC. borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of ParisD. from the ancient Olympic GamesBIn the days when the whites ruled South Africa and apartheid（种族隔离）was the law of the land, two middle-aged blacks met in a whites-only-section of Johannesburg. One of them had a permit to work in the area, the other did not. This meant he could be put behind bars for walking into a forbidden area.Suddenly they saw a policeman coming towards them, and they were frightened at once. “Run!” whispered the man with the permit to his friend. “I’ll follow.”They started running and the policeman began chasing them, shouting “Stop! Stop!” Finally he caught the second man.“Did you think you could run faster than me!” he shouted. “Show me your permit!”The man, playing for time to help his friend, began searching slowly in his pocket and finally took his permit out.The policeman was surprised. He realized that he had been tricked. The man without the permit was now too far away to be caught.“When you had a permit why did you run!” he shouted loudly.“Doctor’s orders,”said the man. “He has asked me to run a mile every evening.”“Oh, yes?”sneered（冷笑）the policeman. “Then why was your friend running?”“His doctor has ordered him to run, too,” said the man.The policeman became red with anger.“You think you’re very smart, don’t you?” he shouted. “But tell me, if you were only running for your health why didn’t you stop when you saw me running after you? And don’t tell me you didn’t see me chasing you. I know you did!”“Of course I knew you were running after me,” said the man.“Then why didn’t you stop?” asked the policeman.“It was stupid of me,” said the man, “but I thought you also had been ordered to run by your doctor.”24.

The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.Popular music in America is what every student likes. Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class, after class, and at lunch. Students with cars buy large speakers and play the music loudly as they drive on the streets.Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work. They also listen to the news about sports, the weather, politics, and activities of the American people. Most of the radio broadcast is music.Pop or popular music singers make much money. They make a CD or a tape which radio stations use in every state. Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country, young people buy his or her tapes. Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer. Wherever the singer goes, all the young people want to meet him or her. Now the singer has become a national star. There are other kinds of music that are important to Americans. One is called folk music. It tells stories about the common life of Americans. Another is called western or country music. This was started by cowboyswho would sing at night to the cows they were watching. Today, any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music. Music for instruments is called orchestra music（管弦乐）, such as the symphonies（交响乐）of Beethoven. There is opera（歌剧）for singers. There is ballet（芭蕾舞剧）for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.28. How many kinds of music are mentioned in the passage?A. Six.B. Eight.C. Five.D. Seven.29.

Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo around September 16, Japanese people haven’t been able to get these thoughts out of their minds.They heard the news from Yoshio Kushida, a researcher who used radio waves to predict that an earthquake would strike with a magnitude（量级）of at least seven.“It would be terrible not to warn people of a possible disaster in case a quake actually occurs,” he said.His warning had a big effect. Frightened Tokyo people have been stocking up on water, food and candles in preparation for the terrible day.But Kushida hasn’t had much support from the experts. At present, predicting earthquakes is thought to be impossible. No one can tell exactly where or when the next major earthquake will occur. An earthquake begins tens of miles below the earth’s surface: it’s too far away to see.Ancient Chinese and Italian scientists forecast earthquakes by special “earthquake clouds”. They found that a week before an earthquake, there were often strange clouds—shaped like snakes, waves or feathers—in the sky. They thought the clouds might come form a gas produced underground by an earthquake.People also used to watch animals to see if earthquakes were coming. When they saw birds fly away suddenly, dogs barking violently or fish jumping out of the water, they told people to leave the area. Some scientists believed animals had a sharper sense of changes taking place underground.But the ancient methods were not reliable enough. Nowadays, scientists use special instruments to predict earthquakes more precisely（精确地）.Satellite systems are very useful: they record small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields（磁场）which help show where and when an earthquake may strike.32. Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo, Japanese people ________.A. have bought all the foods in the marketsB. have almost forgotten about itC. have always thought great damage it may causeD. have had no mind to do their work33. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Tokyo people were surprised at the warning.B. According to ancient people, before an earthquake we can see strange clouds anywhere.C. Predicting earthquakes is completely impossible at present science level.D. Great disasters would happen if people are not warned of before an earthquake.34. Which is the best way to predict earthquakes nowadays?A. Use satellite systems.B. By special “earthquake clouds”.C. Watch animals.D. There’s no way.35. What is the passage mainly about?A. Earthquakes.B. Earthquake prediction.C. Magnetic fields.D. An earthquake in Japan.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。
