Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope. Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the god Zeus. The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges. There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors. They were banned in 394 A. D. by Emperor Theodosius, after they became professional circuses and carnivals.The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete.The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch. In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jesse Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens for the feat of having won four gold medals. In the 1972 Munich Games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists. The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations; in addition, Taiwan withdrew. In 1980, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games. The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.51. According to the passage, the first Olympic Games were held ____.A. as a religious festivalB. for political reasonsC. as an international competitionD. as a professional athletes’ competition52. The Olympic Games were discontinued because ____.A. the Romans did not enjoy themB. they had ceased to be sports eventsC. racial problems had arisenD. winners were getting special privileges53. From the passage, we can infer that Hitler’s refusal to congratulate JesseOwens was an indication of ____.A. jealousyB. national prideC. racial discriminationD. political prejudice54. The feelings of those athletes whose countries boycotted the 1980 Gamescould best be described as ____.A. differentB. angryC. very happyD. terribly disappointed The car industry suffered another setback yesterday when Lucas Electrical Company announced that many of its 12,000 workers at 15 factories in the West Midlands would be going on short time. It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month.“There will be a requirement for some short-time working in selected product areas and the final details will be organizsed on a site-by-site basis,” a Lucan spokesman said in Birmingham.The factories cover an area from Telford, Shropshire, to Solihull in the West Midlands. Many of those involved are women and the products include alternators, battries and headlamps. For many families the wife has been the sole earner in recent months.The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the region’s rapidly declining economy.The company spokesman said that not all the 12,000 would be affected; about 20 percent of the staff would not be affected at all.The announcement comes after BL’s production cuts in the Austin-Rover division with a two-week extended holiday for 8,000 workers because of thesluggish market. Dunlop in Birmingham has made a similar decision.Lucas said that it was also because of reductions in the schedules of other customers in the car industry. It was emphasized that it was temporary and its duration would depend on how many cars were sold in the coming months. 55. According to the passage, we learn the bad news for the car industry from____.A. the announcement of production cuts by the Austin-Rover.B. the report of the sluggish market for the car industry.C. the announcement of short-time working by Lucas.D. the reductions in the schedules of some customers in the industry.56. Which of the following is true about the bad news?A. Workers would work a five-day week.B. Women would have to take early retirement.C. 8,000 workers would have less paid holidays than before.D. It will result in an increase of the decline of the area’s economy.57. Which of the following is not produced by the West Midlands factories?A. Battries.B. Horns.C. Headlamps.D. Alternators.58. According to the passage, how many workers would not be affected by thebad news?A. About 2,400.B. About 5,000.C. About 8,000.D. About 12,000.George had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, “Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it –that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty.”“well, George,” answered Jim. “I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people on the jury look terribly strongminded to me.”George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.The trial went on, and at last the time came for the jury to decide whether George was guilty or not. It took them five hours, but in the end they found George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy.Of course, George was very pleased, but he did not have a chance to see Jim for some time after the trial. At last, however, Jim visited him in prison, and George thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy.“Well, George,”Jim answered, “as I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!”59. We are told that George expected Jim ____.A. to help prove him innocentB. to help him turn over a new leafC. to help lighten his punishmentD. to help him escape from prison60. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. He covered up George’s guilt.B. He persuaded the jury to set George free.C. He told the jury that George was indeed guilty.D. He recommended severe punishment to give George a lesson.61. The passage suggests that ____.A. it was due to Jim that George was found guiltyB. Jim did not do exactly what George asked him to doC. Jim asked his colleagues to recommend mercyD. Jim persuaded the jury to lighten George’s punishment62. The best title for this passage is ____.A. Illegal or Not?B. Guilty or Not?C. Merciful or Not?D. Answerable or Not?Going on computer may be the toughest job a remodeling contractor ever does. In order to make a conversion within a year, a company will need to make a major shakeup. This does not mean it will take a year to start using the computer for one function such as estimating, accounting, or word processing. The total conversion process will not be accomplished in a short period with little effort. A contractor in Indiana recently said he wished someone had warned him about how tough it was going to be. With an annual volume of more than $ 500,000 and a good staff in place he still had fear.For effective use of the computer in a remodeling business, a complete change in methods of doing business usually is required. All management staff must get involved. Changes may include preselecting and standardizing products and systems, developing specifications, changing the estimating system, and requiring more detailed information on time cards. The list goes on and on. Without the support and active leadership of top management, this process, in all likelihood, will be fought by employees and will fail.It is true that a computer can save money by stepping up the speed of estimating and making job costing, bookkeeping, and accounting more efficient. Word processing will certainly reduce time in typing contracts, writing letters, and so on. Still, most companies do not save money using the computer. Once they have mastered the basic computer operation, they become so enthralled with its ability to do other things they never considered when it was purchased. The computer business is changing so fast that a company on computer will want to spend money on the latest hardware, newest software, and so on. That is the bad news. The good news is that the computer simply revolutionizes the company’s ability to manage and innovate. The change in management methods, the ability to use numbers, and other new capabilities provide greater control over the company and allow it to grow and make more money. 63. According to the passage, a complete conversion can take ____.A. several monthsB. about a yearC. half a yearD. several years64. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a completechange in methods of doing business?A. Picking out products.B. Improving specifications.C. Altering the estimating system.D. Standardizing business letters.65. Without the support and leadership of management, the change tocomputerization will probably ____.A. take twice as longB. cost a great dealC. be unsuccessfulD. end up losing money66. The author seems to feel that most companies ____.A. will be on computers within five yearsB. lose money whenever the computers go downC. have trouble making the conversion to computersD. do not save money using the computer。
Model Test 1SECTION A COMPOSITIONHaving a Company Before GraduationRecently, having a company is becoming a fashionable trend for students when they are still in college. However, different people have different opinions towards this phenomenon. H aving a company before graduation can bring some advantages to the students. Firstly, the students can earn some money and support themselves. That will raise their independent and exploring spirit. Secondly, the companies can serve as an important channel for the students to communicate with the out world. Finally, the students can learn some real experience which they cannot learn in college. However, the negative effects of having a company before graduation should not be neglected. To run a company will cost much time which should be spent on studying. The main task of students is studying, that’s why many students abandoned the company and returned to classes. In addition, students lack financial support and economic knowledge to handle a company. In my opinion, to some extend, we should encourage students to have a company in order to gain some experience and money. But after all, the major part of the students’ energy should be put on their studying.SECTION B NOTE-WRITING May 3Dear Mr. Charles, Could you please supply me with one photograph of yourself?

Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race, but as the Games were held every four years, they expanded in scope. Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the god Zeus. The event became a religious, patriotic, and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges. There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors. They were banned in 394 A. D. by Emperor Theodosius, after they became professional circuses and carnivals.The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics. Nine nations participated in the first Games; over 100 nations currently compete.The taint of politics and racial controversy, however, has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch. In 1936 Hitler, whose country hosted the Games, affronted Jesse Owens, a black American runner, by refusing to congratulate Owens for the feat of having won four gold medals. In the 1972 Munich Games, the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists. The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations; in addition, Taiwan withdrew. In 1980, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games. The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.51.

Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trial. Of course, he did not tell anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, “Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money.

Answerable or Not?Going on computer may be the toughest job a remodeling contractor ever does. In order to make a conversion within a year, a company will need to make a major shakeup. This does not mean it will take a year to start using the computer for one function such as estimating, accounting, or word processing. The total conversion process will not be accomplished in a short period with little effort. A contractor in Indiana recently said he wished someone had warned him about how tough it was going to be. With an annual volume of more than $ 500,000 and a good staff in place he still had fear.For effective use of the computer in a remodeling business, a complete change in methods of doing business usually is required. All management staff must get involved. Changes may include preselecting and standardizing products and systems, developing specifications, changing the estimating system, and requiring more detailed information on time cards. The list goes on and on. Without the support and active leadership of top management, this process, in all likelihood, will be fought by employees and will fail.It is true that a computer can save money by stepping up the speed of estimating and making job costing, bookkeeping, and accounting more efficient. Word processing will certainly reduce time in typing contracts, writing letters, and so on. Still, most companies do not save money using the computer. Once they have mastered the basic computer operation, they become so enthralled with its ability to do other things they never considered when it was purchased. The computer business is changing so fast that a company on computer will want to spend money on the latest hardware, newest software, and so on. That is the bad news. The good news is that the computer simply revolutionizes the company’s ability to manage and innovate. The change in management methods, the ability to use numbers, and other new capabilities provide greater control over the company and allow it to grow and make more money. 63.
