Exposition:Paraphrase:1.On the basis of controlling purpose we traditionally divide all prose into three kinds: narration,description, and exposition. (Para.1)According to the main purpose we traditionally classify all prose into three kinds: narration, description, and exposition.2.Seldom is any piece of writing pure exposition. (Para.3)It’s hard to find an essay which is an absolute exposition.3.Deciding upon reader and purpose is easily half the task of writing. (Para.4)After choosing reader and purpose, the writer has possibly half-done his writing.4.The expository writer may throw new light upon two things by comparing and contrastingthem, by showing how they are alike and yet different. (Para.7)The expository writer may explain two things with the comparison and contrast and show their similarities and differences, to make it easily understood.Translation:1. Deciding upon reader and purpose is easily half the task of writing. Once the writer hasdetermined what point he intends to make, his composition is already half organized, if not completely planned. The writer has already saved himself time by eliminating several false starts, and he has already resisted the temptation to lose himself and his reader in the thickets and bypaths of his subject. With his reader in mind he has already solved many of his problems of diction and tone as well, and, however awkwardly he has expressed himself when he has done, he will know that he has fulfilled the first requirement of writing—a definite point for definite readers.锁定目标读者，确定写作目的，这常常就意味着文章已经成功了一半。

When the Japanese borrowed the Chinese characters to use in their written language, the characters keep their original Chinese pronunciation. Of course, the Japanese already had a spokenlanguage, and were not going to their own words in favour of a completely new vocabulary.

When we compare (1) the life of a man who does no reading with that of a man who does, we can understand (2) why he thinks so.Generally, one who does not have the habit of reading is limited (3) to contact and conversation with a few friends and acquaintances (4), and he sees only what happens in his immediate neighborhood. But the moment he takes up a book, he immediately enters (5) a different world. If it happens to be a good book, he is immediately put in touch (6) with one of the best talkers of the world. This talker leads him into a different country or a different age, even discusses with him some special (7) line or aspect of life that the reader knows nothing about.Lin agrees with Huang Shanku, a Sung poet (8), in that reading gives a man a certain charm and flavor, which is the entire object (9) of reading, and only reading with this object can be called an art. One does not understand the art of reading if he forces (10) himself to read.According to Huang Shanku, the key to reading is to cultivate (11) people's personal charm of appearance and flavor in speech. Whether one has "flavor" or not inhis talk depends (12) on his method of reading. If a reader gets the flavor of books, he will show that flavor in his conversations, and if he has flavor in his conversations, he will also have a flavor in his writing.Reading is an act consisting (13) of two sides, the author and the reader. The net gain comes as much from the reader's contribution (14) through his own insight and experience as from the author's own. The most critical event in one's intellectual(15) development is to find his favorite author. If one cannot find one, he will fail to get any good out of reading.P218-219 Translation1.Under the circumstances of promoting socialist market economy in China, it is necessary to strengthen the management of accounting information quality.2. Professor Lin cited the stories about/of Washington and Lincoln to show the importance of honesty/being honest.3.People living in desert don’t have enough water to drink, let alone use water to irrigate land.4. Doctor Wang has the habit of making/taking notes in the margin when (he is) reading.5.It is interesting that as time goes, some words which fell into disuse may sometimes revive with new meanings.7. College students should be brave enough to face all the difficulties in their lives, and overcome them with confidence.8. The sanitary conditions of the area have deteriorated to such an extent that there is danger of diseases at any time.9.Extensive investigation and interview put Miss Smith in touch with people of the country and their lifestyles.10.

He contends that the purpose of an inclusive globalization lies (2) not only in opening markets but in expanding opportunity and promoting (3) cooperation.Annan appeals to us to tear down the walls in our own minds (4) so that we are able to recognize (5) the untold ways in which we can all benefit (6) from cooperation and solidarity across lines of nationality, race or economic (7) development. He holds that the poor, the disenfranchised or those who are denied (8) basic right to liberty and self-determination cannot continue to be excluded (9). Otherwise, no country can hope to secure lasting peace and prosperity (10).Annan believes that nations can act on this imperative (11) by opening markets for the products of developing countries; by increasing development assistance (12); by promoting good and transparent governance; by tackling diseases and environmental problems; by recognizing obligations to provide asylum; by fostering (13) a more orderly process of integrating migrants; and by valuing pluralism as a top priority for every state.Annan maintains that dialogue can triumph (14) over discord, that diversity is a universal virtue, and that the peoples of the world are far more united by their common fate than they are divided by their separate (15) identities. This dialogue must take place within and between civilizations, cultures and groups.P252-253 Translation1.Those people yearn for the days in the past because they don't think they can benefit from the current policies.2.Terrorists will make no distinction between races, nations or regions when they carry out acts of terror.3. The invention of paper was one of the great contributions of Ancient China to human civilization, and we should take pride of it.4.The teacher suggested that the students analyze these problems in a different light so as to find a solution as soon as possible.5.In recent years, some developed countries have been robbing developing countries of their natural resources in the name of globalization.6.Legal English is a special register of English. Its distinctive features distinguish it from literary language and other practical style.7.The company cashed in on its rivals’ difficulties by doubling its investment in this area/region.8.When he wrote The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson was firm in the belief that all men were created equal.9.He has served the public heart and soul for many years, regardless of his personal gain or loss.10.Experts has long been concerned about the implications of population growth for economic development of the world.This modern lifeAs is shown in the above picture, people sit in front of the computer day and night. Even in their dreams they’re still playing computer games. Such thought-provoking phenomenon is, especially among young people, prevail ing in our modern life.It’s true that the computer has brought great convenience to our modern life. However, as is illustrated in the picture, the overuse of it may lead to several bad consequences. To begin with, there is evidence that long-term exposure to electromagnetic radiation emitted from computers may cause many health problems, like insomnia, headaches, and even cancer. In addition, when people immerse himself in the world of computer, they tend to pay less attention to the surroundings, and excessive use of the computer means much less chance of face-to-face interactions with people who populate their real lives.In conclusion, while computers have contribute a lot to making our life more convenient, we should use them appropriately.Parents’ Role in Their Children’s GrowthThe picture jumping into my sight is extremely compelling. We can observe from it that there is a hot debate going on about parents' role in children's growth between mother and her daughter saying that "I was accepted to the college of your choice" In line with my personal thinking, children should realize that correct roads ought to be a must in learning by themselves rather than parents.Recently, children are always considered as the apple of parents' eye, which is particularly true in modern families with an only child in china. That is to say, it is high time that we should take some positive and effective actions to cope with it. For parents, they should keep a close watch on the instruction social skills, focusing on independent thinking and feasible methods to their kids. For children, without any help of parents, we must learn more for the job and future life, be a man having a sharp and imaginative mind with different knowledge.From my perspective as a college student, independent thinking, rather than parents' mind, may bring to us many advantages, such as encouraging us to take an active part in social practice and putting more pressures on youngsters to improve abilities. Only by doing so can we have access to a satisfactory result.。

Part I Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.PPassage 1Scientists have identified the elephants that live on the island of Borneo in Malaysia as separate from other Asian elephants. The group Worldwide Fund for Nature, or W-W-F, announced the finding. This follows genetic tests on waste from Borneo's Pygmy Elephants （婆罗州矮象）, as they are called.The Sabah Wildlife Department in Malaysia permitted researchers to collect droppings from forests on Borneo. They sent the material to Columbia University in New York City. There, the Department of Evolution and Environmental Biology carried out the tests.Scientists compared the DNA to the genes of elephants that live in mainland Malaysia and in Sri Lanka, India and other Asian countries. The research shows that Borneo elephants were separated from other Asian elephants about three-hundred-thousand years ago. Some differences are easy to see. The Borneo elephants are smaller than other elephants. Their ears and tails make up a larger part of their bodies. And their tusks (象牙) are straighter. Also, the chairman of the W-W-F program in Malaysia says the Borneo elephants are gentler compared to other Asian elephants.The group says the test results mean that the pygmy elephants of Borneo should be treated as their own kind. It says the elephants should not be permitted to reproduce with other Asian elephants. It says there should also be research into the reproductive rates of the Borneo elephants and survival of their young. The nature group notes a long-standing dispute about where the Borneo elephants came from. One theory is that their ancestors were gifts from the British East India Company to the Sultan of Sulu in the seventeenth century. The scientists, however, say the new findings reject the argument that humans brought the elephants to the island.The other theory is that the elephants could remain from a native population that traveled between Borneo and Sumatra. During the ice ages, more than ten-thousand years ago, sea levels were much lower. Land sometimes linked the two islands. The elephants could have been trapped on Borneo after the water rose again.1. How did scientists get to know that Borneo elephants were separated from other Asian elephants about three-hundred-thousand years ago? A) By studying their straight tusks. B) By following their footsteps.C) By collecting their droppings from forests on Borneo.D) By comparing their DNA to the genes of other Asian elephants.2. What helped scientists identify Borneo's Pygmy Elephants as separate from other Asian elephants?A) Their gentle manner. B) Their strange appearance. C) The genetic tests on their waste. D) The tests on their leftovers. 3. According to the scientists, the pygmy elephants of Borneo should _______. A) be reproduced with other Asian elephantsB) be taken good care of for their survival C) be prohibited from being huntedD) be treated as a unique kind of elephants4. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A) Borneo elephants have been living on the island of Borneo for more than ten-thousandyears.B) The ancestors of Borneo elephants were gifts from the British East India Company to theSultan of Sulu in the seventeenth century.C) Borneo elephants swam across the sea from Sumatra to Borneo during the ice ages.D) Some baby pygmy elephants of Borneo are a mixture of pygmy elephants with other Asian elephants.5. Compared with other Asian elephants, Borneo’s Pygmy Elephants are _______. A) taller B) much stronger C) more coward D) gentler Passage 2A teenage girl from the state of Connecticut has won the top prize in the Intel Science Talent Search. The competition was known as the Westinghouse Science Talent Search until 1998. It is the oldest program in the United States that honors the science projects of high school students.The Intel Science Talent Search celebrated its sixtieth anniversary last year. The winners received money for a college education and a new computer. More than 1,500 students entered projects for the competition. The students were from 36 states and the District of Columbia. 49 percent were female and 51 percent were male. Their research projects involved every area of science, including chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, social science and biology.Forty students were invited to Washington, D.C. for the final judging by well-known scientists. They judged the students on their research ability and creative thinking. They also questioned the students about scientific problems before deciding on the top ten winners.The first place winner was Mariangela Lisanti of Westport, Connecticut. She received 100,000 dollars for her college education. Her physics project involved the use of single atoms or molecules to create electronic devices. She developed a new way to measure electron movement in tiny structures.The second place winner was Nathaniel Jay Craig of Sacramento, California. He received 75,000 dollars for his college education for a physics project. He developed a method for expressing the strength of specially prepared glass by describing the super cooled liquid from which it was formed.The third place winner was Gabriel Drew Carroll of Oakland, California. He received 50,000 dollars for his college education. His mathematics project involved the partial order of numbers.The president of Intel, Craig Barrett, praised all the finalists as future leaders.

Like the flu, computer viruses evolve. Last year’s immunization isn’t any good for this year’s disease because every time someone invents a new medication(医药), someone else invents a new disease. Nevertheless, a few simple precautions will help you against all but the cleverest hacker.For a PC user, he or she should use good virus-checking software. But a word of caution: Not every program fixes every virus, and when a new bug hits, the remedy takes a while to reach the market. A PC user must keep it in his or her m ind to back up the data and anyone who doesn’t have a backup drive is begging for trouble. When a new file or application is loaded onto the computer, one should immediately pass it through antivirus software so that the viruses can be caught and killed before they do any harm. If you receive a mail with a file attached to it from someone you don’t know, then do not open that file because these days most viruses and their cousins, networking-infecting worms, are spread through files attached to email or downloaded from the Web. Finally, if your computers are infected, you should not be panic and you should use a friend’s computer to search the Web for a cure.Where Viruses are concerned, what grandma used to tell you is extremely relevant: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.11. The sentence “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” in the last paragraph is usedto ________.A) remind the computer users of the importance of taking preventive actionsB) prove that old generations have lots of experience which is worth learningC) warn the computer users of the danger of virusesD) explain that prevention is the same as curing12. Computer viruses have something in common with the flu because ________.A) they can invent a new diseaseB) they can help computer users against the hackersC) they can invent a new medicationD) they can evolve into new types13. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A) a new medicine can cure flu foreverB) people have found a thorough solution to the problem of virusesC) many computers are immune to virusesD) the cleverest hacker can break into any computer14. According to the passage, computer viruses can ________.A) make a computer user rather annoyedB) tear people's hair outC) conceal the secret legitimate files and programsD) spread bacteria from one computer to another15. To protect their computers, people should ________.A) stop surfing the Internet to cut off the connections with virusesB) fix every virus with their new antivirus softwareC) back up important data regularlyD) load new files or applications onto the computersPassage 4All over the world mention of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools’, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions—Eton college, Harrow school and Winchester college; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system.Eton is the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of 13 to 18 years. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton.However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immerse influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.

For my own part, I find thatappearances are all too oftendeceptive. For instance, youmight be wrong if you judgedby appearances only peoplelike Edward Hyde Burton. Inappearance, he seemed a man all of a piece. He was a tiny little fellow with white hair and mild blue eyes, gentle and candid. Nevertheless, he turned out to be very cruel. He insulted and fooled Lenny who was down and out and made him commit himself to an insane venture. What was still more surprising was that he was completely indifferent to Lenny’s death. Without doubt, Burton was a man with a heart of stone.Today we are underconstant pressure to worklonger hours, to produce more,and to possess more. Lots ofpeople hold the wrongperception that happiness liesin working hard and earningwell/ good money.Many women today feel the same stress to work and get ahead and, at the same time, to nurture their offspring and shoulder the burden of domestic responsibilities.Research shows that workaholism tends to distance us from our immediate families. It forces us to toil longer and longer hours, leaving a minute fraction of our time to be physically and emotionally available to our loved ones. Intimacy among family members is doomed to die in the process.Today, long after theearthquake shook // hit mytome-town, I can still recall, incrystal detail, what I saw as Iran out of my home with myparents. The building justacross the street toppled rightbefore our eyes, debris flew everywhere and a cloud of choking dust blotted out the sun. Horror-stricken people ran in all directions, crying and screaming.Now, many years after that tragic event, a new town has risen on the wreckage of the old one. In the town square, a memorial has been build to remember those killed in the disaster. It seems the wounds in people’s hearts have healed, but the memory will linger.听力一：Emotion is sometimes regarded as the opposite of reason; s is suggested by phrase such as” appeal to emotions rather than reason” and “don’t let your emotions take over”. Emotional reactions sometimes produce consequences or thoughts which people may later regret or disagree with; but during an emotional state, they could not control their actions. Thus, it is generally believed that one of the most distinctive facts about human beings is a contradiction between emotion and reason.However, recent empirical studies do not suggest there is a clear distinction between reason and emotion. Indeed, anger or fear can often be thought of as an instinctive response to observed fact. The human mind possesses many possible reactions to the external world. Those reactions can lie on a continuum, with some of them involving the extreme of pure intellectual logic, which is often called “cold”, and others invol ving the extremes of pure emotion not related to logical agreement, which is called “the heat of passion”. The relation logic and emotion merits careful study. Passion, emotion, or feeling can reinforce an argument, event one based primarily on reason. This is especially true in religion or ideology, which frequently demands an all-or-nothing rejection or acceptance. In such areas of thought, human beings have to adopt a comprehensive view partly backed by empirical argument and partly by feeling and passion. Moreover, several researchers have suggested that typically there is no “pure” decision or thought; that is, no thought is based “purely”” on intellectual logic or “purely” on emotion—most decisions are founded on a mixture of both.听力二：Within personal finance, the act of saving means preservation of money for future use. A deposit account is typically used to hold money for future needs such as buying a car, going out on vacation and spending money on children's education. On the other hand, money used to buy shares or any asset where there is some risk is called an investment. The distinction between saving and investment is important, as investment, unlike cash savings, has the risk of a capital loss. Cash savings accounts are considered to have almost no risk. In the United States, all banks are required to have deposit insurance, typically issued by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. In extreme cases, a bank failure can cause deposits to be lost as it happened at the start of the Great Depression. However, since the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation was created, no deposits in the United States have been lost due to a bank failure.In many instances the terms saving and investment are used interchangeably. For example, banks may just use deposit savings for investment in the market.To know whether an asset of yours is savings or an investment, you should ask yourself, "Where is my money invested?" If the answer is cash, then it is savings; if it is a type of asset which can fluctuate in value, then it is investment. There may be problems in saving money for the long term.In about 30 years its value will decrease to about a half of its original value due to inflation, if there is a two to three percent inflation rate.听力三：With the invention of modern laptops and the advances in broadband internet access and communication software, there is no longer a need to work in the office, more and more people are starting to work from home. Opinions on this new trend vary as there are both pros and cons of working from home.The disadvantages are obvious. To begin with, you may feel lonely at home since you lack social interaction and face to face communication with colleagues. Besides, there are many distractions at home: your wife and kids may knock on your door or call you any time. You yourself may want to stop and have a cup of coffee or find something to eat from time to time. Without the official discipline, you may even be tempted to play computer games, what’s more, it may be very monotonous if you have to stay at home all day long.On the other hand, many people think the pros of working at home outweigh the cons. The most obvious benefit is flexibility. You don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock early in the morning, and you can work any time you want any in any way you want. For those who are more productive at night, working from home must be a paradise. Moreover, without a boss supervising you over your shoulder, you fell less stress. Like to work in pajamas? Fine. Like to listen to heavy metal at the highest volume while you are designing? Go for it. Also, people that work in the home environment value immensely the extra time they can spend with their loved ones. As a mom or dad, you will be in a much better position to educate and take care of your children.听力四：A blizzard is a sever weather condition characterized by low temperatures and strong winds, greater than 15 miles per hour, bearing a great amount of snow.Because the factors for classifying winter storms are complex, there are many different definitions of what a blizzard truly is. But it is generally agreed that in order to be classified as a blizzard, as opposed to merely a winter storm, the weather must meet several conditions. The storm must decrease visibility to a quarter of a mile for three hours running. Include snow or ice as precipitation, and have wind speed of at least 32 miles per hour, which means Force 7 or more on the Wind Scale.Another standard, according to Environment Canada, is that the winter storm must have winds of 40 kilometers per hour or mi=ore, plenty of snow, visibility less than 1 kilometer, a temperature of less than -25 degrees Celsius, and all of these conditions must last for 4 hours or more, before the storm can properly be called a blizzard.When all these conditions continue after snow has stopped falling, the storm is referred t o as a ground blizzard.An extensive form of blizzard is a whiteout, when the downdrafts, together with snowfall, become so sever that it is impossible to distinguish the ground from the air. People caught in a whiteout can quickly become disoriented, losing their sense of up and down as well as their sense of direction. Severe blizzard can also occur along with arctic cyclones.。

Part I Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice. Please write the answer on the Answer Sheet .Passage 1Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: thelonging for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy -- ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness -- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what -- at least -- I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved.Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I can ’t, and I too suffer.This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me.1. What rhetorical device does the author use in the first paragraph? A) Hyperbole and simile. B) personification and hyperbole. C) parallelism, simile and metaphor. D) All of the above.2.

The reason why the author mentions Pythagorean power is ____________ A) to substantiate his viewpointB) that he is a mathematicianC) to show his talent in mathematicsD) that this essay is based on Pythagorean theory 4. Why does the author say he suffers too? A) Because he is homeless. B) Because he is ill.C) Because he cannot alleviate all the evil that he hates.D) Because he does not have enough money to support the poor. 5. What is the basic tone for the whole passage?A) Critical. B) Ironic. C) Pathetic. D) Passionate. Passage 2Since Tiger was so fortunate with the game of golf, he decided to start a foundation called: The Tiger Woods Foundation which starts schools in urban American cities that provided an education for less fortunate kids. Tiger also supports and donates money to The First Tee program. The First Tee program’s goal is to provide learning facilities and educational programs that promote character development and life enhancing values through the game of golf. Tiger himself has also been an idol or hero for many kids around the world because of his dominance and records throughout his golfing career. Because of this many kids have started learning the game of golf.Tiger ’s real first name is Eldrick. He was born on December 30, 1975 and grew up in Cypress California. He began taking an interest in golf when he was just six months old. He would watch his dad, Earl, hit golf balls into a net and would try to copy his swing. He was given the nickname Tiger after a Vietnamese soldier and friend of his father. Tiger Woods appeared on TV practicing his swing at the age of two and by the time he was three, he had already shot a 48 on a nine-hole course. When he was five, the golf world began to take notice of Tiger and he was featured on the cover of Golf Digest. Tiger Woods was just 16 and still in high school when he played in his first professional golf tournament - the Nissan Los Angeles Open. Two years later, he went to college at Stanford University where he won ten collegiate events and the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) title. While he appeared in only a handful of professional tournaments during his years in college, it wasn’t long before Tiger Woods would be winning pro events at a ridiculous rate.Tiger Woods, who is now 28 years old, has had an amazing career since becoming a pro golfer in 1996. He has won 53 worldwide tournaments, 40 of those wins were on the PGA TOUR, including eight major championships: the 1997, 2001, and 2002 Masters, the 1999 and 2000 PGA Championships, the 2000 and 2002 U.S. Open Championship and the 2000 British Open. Tiger has now won an incredible 9 out of 16 World Golf Championship events he has played in.Tiger relates to the book because he is a hero to others near and far. People around the world notice his dedication, time spent working to perfect his game, his fitness routines and since he is young, all the kids like that. Even if you didn’t play golf, you would know who Tiger is and he has influenced many people to take up the game and learn more than just how to play: to learn the integrity and rules which also help you in life.To wrap things up, Tiger Woods started the game at a young age and set many records that may never be broken and has changed the game forever. He’s a hero, incredible golfer, and a generous giving man. He works hard at everything he does and院系： 班级： 姓名： 学号： 装 订 线gives back whenever he can. That is why I chose Tiger to be my hero.6.

When did the author write the passage?A) 2002. B) 2003. C) 2005. D) Unknown.8. Why does the author adore Tiger Woods?A) He is young. B) He dedicates himself to golf.C) He donates money to others. D) B and C.9. In which way did the author write the passage?A) Ironic. B) Objective. C) Subjective. D) Exaggerated.10. What might be the best title for the passage?A) Tiger Woods B) The world’s Best GolferC) The Brightest Sports Star D) Sports Hero: Tiger WoodsPassage 340 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwing Guttmann, the situation began to change.Sir Ludwing Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with other Olympics.The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able-bodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.11. The first games for the disabled were held _______ after Sir Ludwing Guttmannarrived in England.A) 40 years B) 21 yearsC) 10 years D) 9 years12. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for the disabled were once held in_______.A) New York B) LondonC) Rome D) Los Angeles13. In Paragraph 3, the word “athletes” means _______.A) people who support the games B) people who watch the gamesC) people who organize the games D) people who compete in the games14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B) Sir ludwing Guttmann is an injured soldier.C) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is from Germany.D) Sir Ludwing Guttmann is welcomed by the British government.15. From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is _______.A) one of the organizers of the games for the disabledB) a disabled person who once took part in the gamesC) against holding the games for the disabledD) in favor of holding the games for the disabledPassage 4Books are to mankind what memory is to the individual. They contain the history of our race, the discoveries we have made, the accumulated knowledge and experience of ages. They picture for us the marvels and beauties of nature, help us in our difficulties, comfort us in sorrow and in suffering, change hours of weariness into moments of delight, store our minds with ideas, fill them with good and happy thoughts, and lift us out of and above ourselves.Many of those who have had, as we say, all that this world can give, have yet told us they owed much of their purest happiness to books. Aseham, in “The Schoolmaster,” tells a touching story of his last visit to Lady Jane Grey. He found her sitting in an oriel window reading Plato’s beautiful account of the death of Socrates. Her father and mother were hunting in the park. The hounds were in full cry and their voices came in through the open window. He expressed his surprise that she had not joined them. But, said she, “I wish that all their pleasure in the park is but a shadow to the pleasure I find in Plato.”Macaulay had wealth and fame, rank and power, and yet he tells us in his biography that he owed the happiest hours of his life to books. In a charming letter to a little girl, he says: “Thank you for your very pretty letter. I am always glad to make my little girl happy, and nothing pleases me so much as to see that she likes books, for when she is as old as I am, she will find that they are better than all the tarts and cakes, toys and plays, and sights in the world. If any one would make me the greatest king that ever lived, with palaces and gardens and fine dinners, and wines and coaches, and beautiful clothes, and hundreds of servants, on condition that I should not read books, I would not be a king. I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of books than a king who did not love reading.”Books, indeed, endow us with a whole enchanted palace of thoughts. “There is a wider prospect,” says Jean Paul Richter, “from Parnassus than from a throne.” In one way they give us an even more vivid idea than the actual reality, just as reflections are often more beautiful than real nature. “All are mirrors,”says George Macdonald. “The commonest room is a room in a poem when I look in the glass.”Precious and priceless are the blessings which the books scatter around our daily paths. We walk, in imagination, with the noblest spirits, through the most sublime andenchanting regions.16. This passage argues that _______.A)books are the memory of an individualB)books can tell us what kind of memory an individual hasC)human beings need books just as an individual needs memoryD)an individual needs books to help him memorize what has happened17. According to the passage, books can _______.A) change our mood B) change the time-schedule of our activityC) improve our social position D) keep us in sadness18. Lady Jane Grey _______.A)saw her parents hunting in the shadow in the parkB)knew that her parents enjoyed hunting in the shadowC)believed that her parents’ pleasure in hunting was inferior to hers in reading PlatoD)enjoyed sitting in the shadow near window opening to a park while reading Plato’sworks19. It can be inferred from this passage that Macaulay _______.A)used to be a kingB)is very poor now because he likes books more than wealth and powerC)likes his little girl because she always wears a smile on her faceD)finds real happiness in reading books20.
