The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character became first a national event andthen, after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished. internationaL No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go, but some official records date from 776 B.C.The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all part of Greece, but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boy's gymnastics, boxing, wrestling, horse racing and field events, though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games.On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.After an uninterrupted history of almost L200 yeas, the Games were suspended by the Romans in 394 A.D. They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics: the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind, and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over 1,500 years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in 1896.Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes' expenses.The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun's rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals, and it bums throughout the Gaines until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.51.Nowadays, the athletes' expenses are paid for.A.out of the prize money of the winnersB.out of the funds raised by the competing nationsC.by the athletes themselvesD.by contributions52.Modern athletes* results cannot be compared with those of ancient runners because .A.the Greeks had no mean s of recording the resultsB.they are much betterC.details such as the time were not recorded in the pastD.they are much worse53.The order of athletic events at the ancient Olympics.A.has not definitely been establishedB.varied according to the number of foreign competitorsC.was decided by Zeus, in whose honor the Games were heldD.was considered unimportant54.In the early days of ancient Olympic Games.A.only male Greek athletes were allowed to participate in the GamesB.all Greeks, irrespective of sex, religious or social status, were allowed to take partC.all Greeks, with the exception of women, were allowed to compete in (iainesD.all male Greeks were qualified to compete in the Games55.In ancient Greece, the Olympic Games.A.were merely national athletic festivalsB.were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious colorC.had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous positionD.were primarily national events with few foreign participants(2)Is e-mail a blessing or a curse? Last month, after a week's vocation, I discovered 1218 unread e-mail messages waiting in my box. I pretended to be dismayed, but secretly I was pleased. This is how we measure our wired worth in the late 1990s. If you aren't overwhelmed by e-mail, you must be doing something wrong.E-mail. Can't live with it, can't live without it. Con artists and real artists, advertisers and freedom fighters, lovers and sworn enemies 一they've all flocked to e-mail as they would to any new medium of expression. E-mail is convenient, saves time, brings us closer to one another, and helps us manage our ever-more-complex lives. Books are written, campaigns conducted, crimes committed —all via e-mail. But it is also inconvenient, wastes our lime, isolates us in front of our computers and introduces more complexity into our already too-hurried lives. To skeptics, e-mail is just the latest chapter in the evolving history of human communication.Yet e-mail all online communication is in fact something truly different; it captures the essence of life at the close of the 20th century with an authority that few other products of digital teclinology can claim. Does the pace of life seem ever faster? E-mail simultaneously allows us to cope with that acceleration and contributes to it. Are our attention spans shriveling under barrages of new. improved forms of stimulation? The quick and dirty e-mail is made to order for those whose ability to concentrate is measured in nanoseconds. If we accept that the creation of the global-spanning Internet is one of the most important technological innovations of the last half of this century, then we must give e-mail, the living embodiment of human connection across the Net, pride of place. The way we interact with each other is changing; e-mail is both the catalyst and the instrument of that change.56.According to the passage, e-mail is convenient because it .A.saves our timeB.introduces more complexity into our too-upset livesC.makes communication possibleD.enrich our lives57.The author of this passage is about e-maiLA. skepticalB. positiveC. negativeD. firm58.Which of the following phrases is the closest in meaning to the phrase "give ... pride ofplace” in Paragraph 3?A.take pride in the placeB.be proud ofC.give ... the most important positionD.put stress on59.All the following statements are true EXCEPT .A.E-mail not only allows us to cope with the faster pace of life but also makes itacceleratedB.The way we interact with each other is changingC.E-mail can help us manage our ever-more-complex livesD.Only advertisers make use of e-mail60.What is the main idea of this passage?A.E-mail is one of the most important technological innovations of the last half of the20th century.B.E-mail is the instrument that brings about great changes in human connection.C.li-mail helps us understand the essence of life at the close of the 20,h century.D.E-mail is not only convenient but also inconvenient.(3)The phrase "melting pot" has become associated with the American society, implying that many racial and ethnic groups have been integrated into one culture. Scholars disagree as to what extent this assimilation or integration has actually taken place. Many of them see the American soc iety as a “salad bowl： where various groups have remained distinct and separate from each other even though they work and live in the same society.There is no doubt that assimilation has taken place, especially among the whites from diflerent nationalities and religious backgrounds; the disagreement is only about to what extent this assimilation has actually taken place. The scholars argue that "melting plot's an inaccurate description of the American society. Let alone other more distinct races and ethnic groups, they point to the American Jews as the group of whites who have retained their separateness.Many scholars feel that the unwillingness by the Jewish Americans to assimilate with the American society comes mainly from centuries of persecution in European countries, some of which survived and came along with European Christians to America. Weaker forms of discrimination and anti-Jevvish feelings still exist among European descendents, making it more difficult for the Jews to assimilate into the mainstream American culture. Their own cultural and religious pride also plays important roles in maintaining their separateness.What is interesting, however, is that Jewish groups, along with their separateness, have a strong sense of belonging to the larger American culture in which they have achieved success in nearly every field. In fact, among the groups that have retained their national or ethnic identities, the Jewish groups arc the most successful according to a nation-wide survey. Many Jews altribulc this success to their separateness, which has prevented them from losing values that contribute to their success.61.What sentence would best summarize this passage?A.American society is either a “melting pol" or a "salad bouT\ depending on who istalking about it.B.Jewish groups have a strong sense of identity and refuse to assimilate with otherAmericans.C.Scholars disagree about the extent to which assimilation of diflerent races andethnic groups has taken place in American society.D.There is still some discrimination and persecution of Jews in America.62.The European descendents who most likely discriminate against the AmericanJews are .A. ChristiansB. scholarsC. capitalistsD. Catholics63.Many scholars prefer to describe American society as a "salad bowl" because it.A.shows cultural and religious differences of various cultural groupsB.shows the togetherness and separateness of different ethnic, national, and racialgroupsC.is more colorful and imaginativeD.is more progressive64.The author claims that Jewish groups retain most of their cultural identity and .A.their separateness prevents them from achieving successB.other groups dislike them lor their separateness from the mainstream AmericancultureC.also think of themselves as belonging to the American cultureD.refuse to cooperate with other cultural groups65.According to the passage, one of the reasons why the Jews have remained mostlyseparate is .A.seeing no advantage in assimilatingck of opportunity to assimilateC.the fear of losing their identityD.their pride in their own culture(4)The growth of population during the past few centuries is no proof that population will continue to grow straight upward toward infinity and doom. On the contrary, demographic history offers evidence that population growth has not been at all constant. According to paleo-ecologist Edward Deevey. the past million years show three momentous changes. The first, a rapid increase in population around one millionB. C.，followed the innovations of tool-making and tool-using. But when the new power from the use of tools had been exploited, the rate of world population growth fell and became almost stable.The next rapid jump in population started perhaps 10.000 years ago. when men began to keep herds, plow and plant the earth. Once again when initial productivity gains had been absorbed, the rate of population growth abated.These two episodes suggest that the third great change, the present rapid growth, whichbegan in the West between 250 and 350 years ago. may also slow down when, or if technology begins to yield fewer innovations. Of course, the current knowledge revolution may continue without foreseeable end. Either way — contrary to popular belief in constant geometric growth — population can be expected in the long run to adjust to productivity. And when one takes this view, population growth is seen to represent economic progress and human triumph rather than social failure.66.In the passage, when did the first significant demographic change occur?A.Three to four centuries ago.B.Ten thousand years ago.C.At a time when steamed engine was invented.D.At a time when human beings began to use tools.67.What did human beings learn to do when the 2nd demographic change took place?A.To use stone.B.To plant the earth.C.To build aircraft.D.To derive automobiles-68.What is found to have close relationship with rapid increase in population?A.War between 2 centuries.B.Ways discovered to increase productivity.C.Migration from a continent to another continent.D.A new religion beginning to be accepted by people.69.What can be concluded when the current tide of knowledge revolution ebbs?A.Productivity will rise.B.Productivity will receive no impact.C.Population growth will slow down.D.Population growth will become accelerated.70.What is the concept most people have on population growth?A.The population is always in constant geometric growth.B.Rapid growth is followed by stable growth.C.Decelerated growth is followed by a declineD.No growth at all.(5)In our society the unwitten rules of communication discourage the direct expression of emotions. Count the number of genuine emotional expressions you hear over a two-or-lhree-day period and you'll discover that emotional expressions are rare. People are generally comfortable making statements of fact and often delight in expressing their opinions, but they rarely disclose how they feel.Not surprisingly, the emotions that people do share directly are usually positive. l;or example, one study of married couples revealed that the partners shared flattering feelings of face-saving ones. They also willingly disclosed both positive and negative feelings about absent third parties. On the other hand, the husbands and wives rarely expressed face-threatening feelings of hostility.Surprisingly, social rules even discourage too much expression of positive feelings. Ahug and kiss for Mother is all right, though a young man should shake hands with Dad. AHection toward friends becomes less and less frequent as we grow older, so that even a simple statement such as T like you" is seldom heard between adults.A review of research on emotional expression supports the cultural stereotype of the non-emotional male and the more emotional female. As a group, women are more likely than men to express their emotions. They are better at distinguishing between related feelings such as liking and loving, and they are more likely to have more aflectionate relationships than men. Of course, these gender diflerences are statistical average, and there are many men and women who do not tall into these types.71.What is the main ides of this passage?A.lioth adults and children seldom expose their feelings and opinions.B.Society is the real cause of people's less expression of their aftcction.C.People like to talk freely behind a third person.D.Women are more open than men in expressing their feelings.72.People avoid expressing their feelings directly because .A.they have no time over a two-or-three-day periodB.they feel timid to do soC.they prefer facts to feelingsD.they feel uneasy when they disclose their inner world73.Which of the following statements do people tend to express?A.Your hairstyle is good, but the color does not suit your skin.B.How should he have left the room in such a mess!C.I'm sorry to say I can't love you any more.D.It is silly of you to have given up this chance.74.That "Women are better than men in expressing feelings^ is .A.a complete cultural stereotypeB.proven by researchC.the traditional prejudiceD.the key to social problems75.According to the passage, it is surprising that .A.women are more expressive than menB.husbands and wives tend to please each otherC.people are socially discouraged from expressing their positive feelingsD.people feel comfortable to disclose their negative feelingsPaper Two(注意：以卜各题的答案必须写在Answer Sheet II _h)Part IV Translation (25%)Section A (10%)Directions: Put the following into (f hinese. Write your Chinese version on Answer Sheet II.It may also be said that rational, industrious, useful human beings are divided into two classes: lirst, those whose work is work and whose pleasure is pleasure; and secondly, those whose work and pleasure arc one. Of these the former are the majority. They have their compensations. The long hours in the office or the factory bring with them as their reward, not only the means of sustenance, but a keen appetite for pleasure even in its simplest and most modest forms. But Fortune's favoured children belong to the second class. Their life is a natural harmony. For them the working hours are never long enough. Each day is a holiday, and ordinary holidays when they come are grudged as enforced interruptions in an absorbing vacation. Yet to both classes the need of an alternative outlook, of a change of atmosphere, of a diversion of effort, is essential. Indeed, it may well be that those whose work is their pleasure are those who most need the means of banishing it at intervals from their minds.Section B (15%)Directions: Put the following into English.
