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 criticism 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 winning 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 Jacques 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 siren(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 licenseThat 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”.

Criticism from coaches, parents and other teammates, as well as pressure to win can create too much anxiety or stress for young athletes. 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 to cooperate 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 theirparents and coaches’ criticisms to heart and find faults in themselves.Coaches and parents should also be cautious that youth sport participation does not become work for children. The outcome of the game should not be more important than the process of learning the sport and other life lessons. In today’s youth sport setting young athletes may be worrying 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 faults with youngsters’performances. Positive support should be provided regardless of the outcome. Research indicates that positive support motivates and has a greater effect on learning than criticism. Again, criticism can create high levels of stress, which can lead to burnout.36.An effective way to prevent the burnout ofyoung athletes is_________.A.to make sport less competitiveB.to increase their sense of successC.to reduce their mental stressD.to make sport more challenging金戈37.According to the passage，sport is positive foryoung people in that__________.A.it can help them learn more about societyB.it enables them to find faults in themselvesC.it can provide them with valuableexperiencesD.it teaches them how to set realistic goals forthemselves38.Many coaches and parents are in the habit ofcriticizing young athletes________．A.believing that criticism is beneficial for theirearly developmentB.without realizing criticism may destroy theirself confidenceC.in order to make them remember life’slessonsD.so as to put more pressure on them39.According to the passage parents and coachesshould________．A.pay more attention to letting children enjoysportB.help children to win every

burnoutB.to persuade young children not to worry aboutcriticismC.to stress the importance of positive support tochildrenD.to discuss the skill of combining criticism withencouragementBIf the Olympic Games are a history of mankind，wrestling(摔跤)is the prologue(序幕).When the ancient Games of the Olympiad were born,wrestling was already an ancient game.Widely recognized as the world’s oldest competitive sport，wrestling appeared in a series of Egyptian wall paintings as early as 5，000 years ago.When the ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC，more than two thousand years later，it included wrestling and in the years that followed，wrestling featured as the main event.The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1500-year absence in anizers，seeking direct links to ancient times，found wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world，from Greece，Assyria and Babylon to India,China and Japan.Greco Roman wrestling，a style which was believed to be passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old was brought back into use.In Greco-Roman wrestling，the wrestlers used only their arms and upper bodies to attack.They could hold only those same parts of their opponents(对手).It worked nicely from a historical attitude，but another cheerful and relaxing style was sweeping across Great Britain and the United States by then.Known as “catch as catch can”，it had become popular at fairs and festivals in both countries.In 1904，the Olympic Games added the second wrestling event and called it “freestyle”.Now，wrestlers could use their legs for pushing，lifting and tripping，and they could hold opponents above or below the waist.41.The first ancient Games of the Olympiad wereheld more than_______ years ago.A.776B.1,500C.2,500D.5,00042.What does the writer want to tell us by saying wrestling is the prologue?A.The ancient Olympic Games had a long history.B.Wrestling was an important game in theancient Olympic Games.C.Wrestling is popular all the time.D.Wrestling has a really long history.43.Why was Greco- Roman wrestling brought back into use in 1896 when the Olympic Games returned?anizers wanted to find direct links toancient times.B.Wrestling was very popular across much of theancient world.C.People believed it was passed down from theGreek and Roman wrestlers of old.D.All the above.44.Another style of wrestling became popularacross Great Britain and the United States，because it was________.petitiveB.difficultC.cheerful and relaxingD.interestingCThe Olympic Games are held every four years in a different city in the world.Athletes from many countries compete in a variety of sports which are divided into winter and summer games.The Olympics began in Greece more than 2,700 years ago.The games were originally part of a religious金戈festival in honor of the Greek gods.Eventually，the games became the most important festival in all of Greece.The first recorded Olympic competition was held in 776 B.C.It was held in an outdoor stadium which was about 200 meters long and 300 meters wide.The stadium was in a valley，and about forty thousand people watched the event.The first thirteen Olympics consisted of only one race—running.Since 776 B.C.，the games had been held regularly for about 1,200 years.In 397 the Olympics were prohibited by the Roman Emperor.It was not until 1896 that the first Olympics of modern games were held in Athens.From then on the games are held every four years regularly.The Olympics have become the world’s most important athletic events and a symbol of the sporting friendship of all the people of the world.45.The first modern Olympic Games were held.A.about 115 years agoB.about 200 years agoC.about 251 years agoD.about 300 years ago46.What does this passage mainly tell us?A.The history of the Olympic Games.B.Various sporting events of the OlympicGames.C.The Standard size of an Olympic stadium.D.Several important athletic events in ancientGreece.47.Which of the following statements is false?A.The Olympic Games were once prohibited.B.The first recorded Olympic competition washeld in honor of the Roman Emperor.C.Running used to be the only sporting event inthe ancient Olympic Games.D.Today the Olympic Games are the world’smost important athletic events.DWhat is America’s number one sport? Can I still say baseball? You could make that statement 30 years ago，but things have changed.Baseball of course has the richest history of all sports. But with the popularity of basketball and American football，there can now be an argument on which sport is American’s number one pastime.Basketball really took a turn in the 1980’s as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird took the NBA to another level. Of course，basketball was already popular and had seen such stars as Jerry West and Dr. J.,but the real breakthrough came in the 1980’s and it really took off with Michael Jordan into the 1990’s. Basketball has even become very global now as many NBA stars competed in the Olympics and faced no competition. Today，they had better be ready because there are so many talents in other countries and the competition will be stiff.Like basketball, American football has always been a favourite of many sports fans and its popularity has grown widely.The ratings that Super Bowl Sunday brings are amazing. They have even talked about making Super Bowl Sunday a national holiday.In the year 2050, basketball and American football will have history like baseball’s rich history and may be American national sports. They have been trying for years, but it is not going to happen.So what is America’s number one sport? To me baseball will always be America’s pastime—rich in history and many memories for folks of all ages. If you have any comments on this subject,do not hesitate to give your opinions.48.This passage mainly talks about________.A.baseball and its historyB.the most popular sport in the worldC.which sport is the number one in AmericaD.whether basketball is a global sport pastime49.Which of the following words can replace theunderlined word “stiff” in Paragraph Two?A.safeB.hardC.crazyD.strong50.The author wrote the passage to_________.A.persuade people to support baseball asAmerica’s number one sportB.introduce the history of different sports inAmericapare different kinds of sports that arepopular among American peopleD.express his idea that baseball is America’snumber one sportⅣ.语法填空(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分)T here was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds. __51__She cared them with love and the birds grew strong.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt the great love from the birds.__52__The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that金戈he would fly away.As he flew close,she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. __53__She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.Her desperate love had killed him.She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his great need for freedom.He needed to fly into the clear,blue sky. __54__The bird circled once,twice,three times.The girl watched delightedly at the bird s enjoyment. __55__She wanted the bird to be happy.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest song that she had ever heard.The fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tight,while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!A.She gave them some delicious food and left.B.Suddenly she felt the bird go softly.C.Her heart was no longer concerned with herloss.D.One day she left with the two birds at homealone.E.She took them home and put them in a smallcage.F.One day the girl left the door of the cage open.G.She lifted him from the cage and threw himsoftly into the air.Ⅴ.书面表达（满分30分）最近你们学校将开展“创建文明班级（civilized classes），共建和谐校园（harmonious campus）”活动。

Unfortunately, only very few can hope to become famous and prosperous. Talent is not enough, because show business is as competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to suceed. Fashion is important in this bussiness, too. The best tailor in the world will never be a success if he makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a Performer must change his" act" in order to follow the taste of the moment. This is true for actors, dancers and comedians, but perhaps most of all for singers."Pop" stands for" popular", and a pop singer has to work very hard to become popular. He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold every where, he cannot relax. Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper written for the "fans". The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his records, they go to his concert, and they make him rich and famous. But they can be very annoying, too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so hysterical that they do anything to get a "souvenir". They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape have been stripped practically naked by their fans. A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different. He must have a luxurious car. And－most important－he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.( )36. A suitable title for this passage might be________.A. "The Entertainment Profession"B. "The Way to Become a Pop Singer"C. "The Life of a Pop Singer"D. "The Pop Singer"( )37. Why must a pop singer have a good manager?A. To protect him from his fans.B. To look after his business interests.C. To help him to change his act.D. So that he can relax.( )38. It may be inferred from this passage that_______.A. a pop singer is somewhat afraid of meeting his fansB. some people become pop singer by chanceC. a pop singer sometimes is reluctant to meet people'D. not a few people may become pop singers(B )Before human disease can be discussed, the meanings of the terms, health, physical fitness, illness, and disease, must be considered. Health could be defined theoretically in terms of certain measured values; for example, a person having normal body temperature, pulse and breathing rates, blood pressure, height, weight, acuity of vision, sensitivity of hearing, and other normal measurable characteristics might be termed healthy. But what does normal mean and how is it established? It is well-known that if the temperatures arc taken of a large number of active, presumably healthy,individuals the temperatures will all come close to 98. 6 °F (37t ). The great preponderance of these values will fall between 98. 4"F and 98. 8 T. Thus health could in part be defined as having a temperature within this narrow range. Similarly, a normal range can he established for pulse, blood pressure, and height. In some healthy individuals, however, the body temperature may range below 98. 4°F or above 98. 8 T. These low and high temperatures fall outside the limits defined above as normal and are instances of biological variability.Biological criteria of normality are based on statistical concepts. Body height may be used as an example. If the heights of every individual in a large sample were plotted on a graph, the many points would fall on a bell-shaped curve. At one end of the curve would be the very short people and at the other extreme the few very tall people. The majority of the points of the sample population would fall on the dome of the bell-shaped curve. At the peak of the dome would be those individuals whose height approaches the average of all the heights. Scientists use curves determining what they call normal criteria. By accepted statistical criteria,95 percent of the population measured would be included in the normal range, that is,47. 5 percent above and 47. 5 percent below the mean at the very centre of the bell. Looked at in another way, in any given normal biologic distribution 5 percent will be considered outside the normal range. Thus the seven-foot basketball player would be considered abnormally tall, but that which is abnormal must be distinguished from that which represents disease. The basketball player might be abnormally tall but still have excellent health. Thus, in any statistical analysis of health the possibility of biological variation must be recognized.( )39. What measurable characteristics are discussed in the passage?A. Body temperature and height.B. Pulse and breathing rates.C. Blood presure and weight.D. Vision and hearing.( )40. The temperatures of lots of healthy people will be about_______.A. 98.2°FB. 98.4°FC. 98. 6°FD. 98. 8°F( )41. The peak of a hell-shaped curve stands for_______.A. the shortest heightsB. the tallest heightsC. the most heightsD. the average heights( )42. Based on the accepted statistical criteria, _____ of the sample population would be within the normal range.A. 95%B. 50%C. 47.5%D. 5%(C)The face of Singapore is changing every day. New flats shooting up all over the island. They come in all sizes and rental and sales prices to suit the families of workers, middle-income employees as well as top executives, and businessmen. They are well designed for living, solidly constructed, and carefully maintained. By l975, half the Repub lic’s population were living sparkling modern accommodation. By the end of the decade, 80 per cent of the island's people will be enjoying high-rise living in model towns with all sorts of facilities provided.This is the progressive achievement of the Singapore Housing and Development Board. Singaporeans today are among the world, s best-housed people. The Board's success is a model for planners in other developing nations. Roads, usually double-carriage expressways, keep pace with the expanding developments in outlying districts to bring the worker close to his job. Trees, bushesand flowering plants from public nurseries line the roads as they are built and also landscape the housing estates and park grounds. It is truly amazing to find so much tropical greenery in so modern a city.Land in Singapore, as in Hong Kong, is limited. In order to fulfil its development plans for its people, the Government reclaims land from the sea. New projects for housing, port, transportation, business and recreational purposes are being created.In the heart of the city itself the Government's urban renewal policy goes on every day. Slums are cleared and redeveloped into a series of busy sub-cities. In place of narrow streets and old, crumbling, ugly buildings one sees broad thoroughfares, modern shopping and entertainment complexes, hotels, office blocks and residential towers rising 40 and 50 storeys into the sky.It is a question of time before Singapore becomes a total "island city" and probably the finest in Southeast Asia.( )43. Housing estates and park grounds give a green look becauseA. the buildings are painted greenB. the building are new and modernC. they are in the middle of forestsD. trees, bushes and flowering plants are grown as part of the landscape( )44. As land is limited, new projects for development are createdA. in the seaB. over the seaC. under the seaD. on land reclaimed from the sea( )45. In the heart of the city itself________.A. many slums are createdB. many old buildings are preservedC. many slums are cleared for roadsD. many slums are cleared for development( )46. The main feature of the new sub-cities are_______.A. narrow streets and old, crumbling buildingsB. broad thoroughfares and ugly buildingsC. narrow streets and modern buildingsD. broad thoroughfares and tall mordern building(D)One of the most exciting questions to which scientists are seeking an answer is," Are there living things anywhere in the Universe? Is the earth the only body in the whole enormous Universe where human beings or anything like human beings exist?"First we must consider what goes to make a human being whether plant or animal, and then what conditions living things need in order to go on living. Living things, like everything else, are made of atoms l and these atoms are grouped into molecules. A molecule is the very smallest bit you can have of any substance. When you break up a molecule of water, for example, you no longer have water at all, but only the atoms of which water is made－one atom of oxygen and two of hydrogen. The molecules of living things are made l not of two or three atoms, but of hundreds or thousands arranged in different, complicated patterns.If they become too hot, these complicated molecules of living things break up into their separate atoms and cease to be living. Therefore, there cannot be life on the sun or any of the stars because they are far too hot, and there cannot be any life on a planet(which goes around the sun) if it is tooclose to the sun, as Mercury is.However, living things need energy to make them breathe, grow and move. Non-living things, like rocks and metals, do not need this. On Earth plants and animals get their energy from the light and heat of the sun. Therefore Planets that are very far from the sun and extremely cold are not places where living things could exist.( )47. Which of the following is true?________.A. A molecule consists of a number of atomsB. An atom consists of a number of molecule8C. Water is made up of two different moleculesD. Water is made up of a complicated pattern of atoms( )48. Which of these is not true? The sun_______.A. sometimes makes life possibleB. gives energy to living thingsC. helps plants to growD. makes rocks and metals( )49. All planets_______.A. have atomospheres suitable for lifeB. have very little atomosphereC. go round the earthD. go round the sun or other stars( )50. The writer thinks that there may be living creatures on_______.A. some of the planets going round our sunB. other sunsC. other starsD. p1anets going round other stars(E)Directions: Match the articles with the main ideas/ topics. Write the correct letter in the bracketsA. A brief introduction of English poetry.B. Other English dramatists.C. Fictions in English literature.D. The property of English literature.E. The most outstanding English play writer.F. A poem written by Wordsworth.( )51. The great wealth of English literature makes it impossible to deal with the subject in any detail within the scope of one short passage. We must therefore confine ourselves to only a few of the outstanding writers.( ) 52. W-ho has not heard, for instance, of William Shakespeare, one of the greatest dramatists of all time. He is famous for his comedies, such as Twelfth Night, As You Like It and The Taming of the Shrew, and equally famous for his magnificent tragedies, such as Macbeth, Hamlet and Othello. Shakespeare lived in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, which was the great age for English literature.( )53. Of later p1ays, there is She stoops to Conquer by Olive Goldsmith, and The School for Scandal by Richard Sheridan. Then coming to the present day, we have the brilliant dramas of the Irish author Bernard shaw. Possibly his hest-known plays are Caesar and Cleopatra, Man and superman, Back to Methuselah and Saint Joan.( )54. The works of English novelists have been translated into so many languages that millions of people who know no English are nevertheless familiar with English writings. Yet it is only those who are able to read these novels in the original that can really appreciate such masterpieces as Waverley and Lyanhoe by Walter Scott, or Oliver Twist, David Copperfield and The Old Curiosity Shop by Chares Dickens.( )55. English poetry covers such a wide field that we can do 1itile more than enumerate a few names. Chaucer is well known for his Canterbury Tales, Milton for his two famous epics Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained, Pope for his mastery of the classical style, while the romantic school recalls such famous names as Wordsworth, Byron, Shelley, Keats, Tennyson and Browning. You are now to read a poem by Wordsworth that will not only inspire you with its beauty, hut also encourage you to delve more deeply into the rich heritage of English literature:I wandered lonely as a cloud,That floats on high o’ er vales and hills,When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils,Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.四\ 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）Four-in-ten working dads say they would stay at home and assume the role of Mr. Mom if their spouse or partner earned enough to support their families, according to 's “Working Dads 2006” survey.

But the Austrian art group who created the bunny were ________ to find that it is so large that the rabbit can be seen from space via the Google Earth programme.The pale-pink bunny lies flat on its back in the Italian Alps. It took more than five years to build the bunny and it is set to stay there until 2025. It is made of soft, waterproof materials and filled with straw to make it comfortable to rest on. It was placed in a country spot called Artesina near Cuneo and attracts many visitors each year.Wolfgang Gantner of the Vienna-based art group, Gelitin, said, “It’s supposed to make you feel small, like Gulliver. You walk around it and you can’t help but smile. We like to see hikers climb up the bunny’s 20 ft sides and relax on its belly. ”The group have posted the rabbit’s location on its Gelitin website along with a poetic description of the creation. It reads:Behind a hill, as if knitted（编织）by giant grandmothers, lies this vast rabbit, to make you feel as small as a daisy（雏菊）．Happy you feel as you climb up along its ears, almost falling into its cavernous mouth, to the belly top and look out over the pink woolen landscape of the rabbit’s body, ears and limbs（四肢）reaching into the distance.36. The word “________”can be placed in the blank in Paragraph 2 most properly.A. interestedB. amazedC. happyD. anxious37. The giant pink rabbit has been created ________.A. to greet the year 2025B. so it can be seen from spaceC. to show people’s love of climbingD. as a tourist attraction38. What does the underlined word“it”in Paragraph4 refer to?A. The art group.B. Gulliver.C. The bunny.D. The belly.39. What do we know about the rabbit from the description on the Gelitin website?a. It is behind a hill.b. It makes visitors feel very small.c. Its belly may be the highest point of the body.d. Its ears and limbs can be taken from its body. A. a, b, c B. a, b, dC. a, c, dD. b, c, d40. Which of the following may be a possible picture of the rabbit?BYou’ve just had an argument with someone; you have money worries, a sick child, or mice in your room. The thoughts dance through your mind and just won’t go away. How do you get rid of them?The technique for dealing with this stressful monologue（独白）, in which you are both the talker and the listener, is called“Thought-Stopping”. Yell something sharp and loud to interrupt the flow of stressful conversation. Try words like, “Stop it! Enough! Cut it out! Cool it!”Obviously, it’s a good idea to do this when you’re alone; otherwise you may alarm your family or co-workers! Try it for a few days and then gradually lower the messages until they’re silent.Thought-stopping, however, is only half the story. The second part of the exercise is to use some form of mind distraction. You purposely start thinking about something else—pleasant activities for the weekend, who to invite for lunch, or gift ideas for an upcoming birthday. Or you might think about your next vacation or the trip you took last summer. One of my favorite images is lying on the beach at Paradise lsland in the Bahamas, seeing very clearly in my mind the white sand, the blue water, the bright sunshine and palm trees waving gently in the breeze.Another way to keep unwanted thoughts from happening during the day is to use some form of “physical diversion. Pick up the phone and call a friend; take up a magazine; turn on the radio or TV; have something to eat; do a crossword puzzle or focus your mind on something exciting and challenging like sports activities.The amazing thing about thought-stopping and thought substitution（代替）is that, simple as they are，they’re very effective. Patients have left me voice mail messages over the years in which they’ve added at the end，“And by the way, thought-stopping really works!”So you see, we can’t stop thoughts from appearing in our heads, but we can change the way we feel by changing the way we think.41. The author of this text is most probably ________.A. a psychologistB. a nurse disturbed by his/her patientsC. a patient suffering from mental illnessD. a teacher majoring in psychology42. The underlined word“diversion”in Paragraph 4 probably means something that ________.A. attracts your attentionB. raises your interestC. changes your focusD. makes you do more exercise43. Physical diversion is suggested as a form of ________.A. thought-stoppingB. thought substitutionC. mind distractionD. stressful monologue44. The last sentence of the text suggests that ________.A. thinking goes after feelingsB. thoughts appear easily into one’s mindC. feelings are much more importantD. people can control their thinking45. How many methods are mentioned to get rid of unwanted thoughts in the passage?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.CMegan was a very important person to me. She was my role model. She was the strongest person I knew. Though she developed cancer in the seventh grade, she never complained about it; instead she often cheered up the other children in the hospital.When the cancer spread to Megan’s hip, shoulders, and lungs, she knew she would be in heaven soon. Megan spent her last days with her family at home, shopping on the Internet, reading Harry Potter books, eating Cookie Crisp, and watching movies. She died peacefully in her living room holding her brother’s hand on July 11, 2007.I spent the rest of the summer alone and felt depressed, and then it was time for the new school year. I decided that I didn’t want to sit around and cry any longer. I was ready to make a difference. I thought about Megan and it hit me that I’d start an organization to help kids in the hospital who were sick as she had been. I told my friends about it. We decided to weave friendship bracelets（手镯）from string and deliver them to the hospital.Two months later, when we had made 100 friendship bracelets, I started making calls. The hospital Megan was in said they would love to have us, and we arranged to go on Halloween. That day when we arrived at the hospital, we went room to room on the pediatric floor to deliver our bracelets, and watch the children’s faces light up. At the end of the hour, we were empty-handed but felt wonderful.We asked to return on Thanksgiving, and the organization took off from there. We named our organization Lovelets: Megan’s Bracelets Of Hope. We now use donated money to buy small gifts like pillows, animal toys, books, art projects, and other items for kids with cancer. I know Megan is smiling from heaven and giving us a thumbs-up. We love keeping Megan’s spirit alive and making sick children feel better.46. What was Megan’s reaction to her getting cancer?A. She complained about it sometimes.B. She cared more about other patients thanherself.C. She focused on the need of herself.D. She tried exciting and adventurous things.47. The underlined word“it”in Para. 3 refers to________.A. the author’s depressionB. the author’s opinion on MeganC. the idea of starting an organizationD. the idea of delivering bracelets48. What can we know about the visit to the hospital on Halloween?A. Magan’s friends taught children there to makefriendship bracelets.B. Both the children and Megan’s friends werepleased with this visit.C. The visit is helped by Lovelets: Megan’s BraceletsOf Hope.D. After the visit, the hospital received manydonated gifts.49. Which of the following words can best describeMegan?A. Sensitive and curious.B. Strong and kind.C. Friendly and creative.D. Independent and modest.50. What’s the best title for the text?A. For MeganB. Against CancerC. At HospitalD. With ChildrenDFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine dayssince the federal cigarette tax more than doubled—to ＄1. 01 per pack—smokers have jammed telephone “quit lines”across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They’ve studied the effect of state tax increases for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light Kings cost＄10. 06 at one drugstore Wednesday. In Charleston, S.C., where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation, the price was＄4. 78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys—13. 8%, far below the national average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, Representative from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans “who choose to smoke”.That’s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low-income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today’s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.51. The text is mainly about ________.A. the price of cigarettesB. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate52. What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise. 53. The underlined word“deter”in Paragraph 3 mostprobably means ________.A. discourageB. removeC. benefitD. free54. Rogers’ attitude towards the low-income smokersmight be that of ________.A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy55. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Low-income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.Ⅳ. 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。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games话题诵读日积月累[导语] 北京将成为全球首座既举办夏季奥运会，又举办冬季奥运会的城市。

但是《财富》杂志就2022年冬奥会提出了几个问题。

一起来看看吧！Questions about the 2022 Winter OlympicsThe Chinese city of Beijing has been named host of the 2022 Winter Olympics，beating out Almaty，Kazakhstan in the process.Still，there's plenty of uncertainty over Beijing's ability to host wintertime athletics.Here are the questions Fortune has about the 2022 Games：1．____________________________________________________The pride of hosting an Olympic event has lost some of its luster in recent years.Hosting the Olympics might seem like it affords international bragging rights，but in reality it's a big economic drain.Greece's 2004 Athens Summer Olympics left the country with $11 billion in debt，according to CNN.Beijing's own 2008 Summer Games，meanwhile，cost $44 billion.The previous Winter Olympic Games，held in Sochi，Russia，cost about $50 billion.2．____________________________________________________Beijing is not exactly a winter city—but then again，neither was Sochi.So expect fake snow.Lots and lots of fake snow.Here's a little on how Sochi achieved the winter miracle，per The New York Times：Machines make snow the same way nature does，by freezing water droplets.But they do it a few feet above the ground，rather than in the much colder conditions high in the atmosphere.Snowmaking machines employ a few thermodynamic tricks to help，but at times there is a limit to what physics can do.Temperature is key in this process.Should Beijing be too warm around the time of the Games，things may get a little risky.Still，as CNN notes，Beijing will host the ice－based events，while competitions requiring snow will be held about 120 miles to Beijing's northwest in Zhangjiakou.3．____________________________________________________Beijing officials，of course，are doing their best to dissipate doubts regarding the city's smog and pollution issues.For what it's worth，the city did curb pollution effectively in 2008，so it's possible it could repeat those efforts.Xu Jicheng，who helps lead Beijing 2022's press efforts，said in a statement that “technically the pollution has been reduced and controlled，we have seven more years to go and it will be sunshine and white clouds.”[词海拾贝]1．luster n．光彩，光辉2．brag v．吹牛，自夸3．miracle n．奇迹4．thermodynamic adj.热力的，热力学的5．dissipate v．消除6．curb v．抑制[问题思考]Fill in the blanks 1－3 with the suitable questions.(There is one extra heading which you do not need.)A．What about the pollution?B．How much will it cost China?C．How can Beijing host Winter events?D．Will there be any economic benefit at all?答案：1.B 2.C 3.A自主预习步步提高词汇识记Ⅰ.将单词与其正确释义配对1．compete A．主人；做东；主办2．magical B．座右铭；格言；警句3．volunteer C．巫术的；魔术的；有魔力的4．regular D．容许；承认；接纳5．basis E．替换；取代6．admit F．规则的；定期的；常规的7．host G．志愿者；志愿的；自愿8．responsibility H．比赛；竞争9．replace I．责任；职责10．motto J．基础；根据答案：1.H 2.C 3.G 4.F 5.J 6.D 7.A 8.I 9.E10．BⅡ.根据所给汉语提示写出单词1．________adj.古代的，古老的2．________n．奖章；象征；表示3．________adv.现今，现在4．________adj.身体的；物理的5．________n．运动员；运动选手答案：1.ancient 2.medal 3.nowadays 4.physical 5.athleteⅢ.根据语境及首字母提示写出正确的单词1．Which country will h________the next Summer Olympic Games?2．She will c________with Mary in this dancing competition.3．She now helps to teach children in a local school as a v________three days a week.4．He likes doing exercise at the fixed time，and the r______exercise has made him energetic.5．Even though he is a child，he has the courage to take the responsibility and is willing to a ________ having made mistakes.6．His cell phone was out of order，which made him decide to buy a new one to r________it.7．He was a fierce c________who just wanted to win!答案：1.host pete 3.volunteer 4.regular5．admit 6.replace petitorⅣ.选用短语的适当形式完成句子used to;
