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 their parentsand 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 challenging37.Ac cording 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 gameC.train children to cope with stressD.enable children to understand the positiveaspect of sport40.The author’s purpose in writing the passageis________.A.to teach young athletes how to avoid 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 aredivided into winter and summer games.The Olympics began in Greece more than 2,700 years ago.The games were originally part of a religious 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.Ru nning 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 witha 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 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。

第Ⅰ卷Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)AIt was a Saturday morning，a day I believed would end in victory.For weeks，I had been preparing for the match at the county fairgrounds，sponsored(赞助) by our local riding club.My horse，Tonka, and I could run faster than any other kid in the county, and I hoped to bring home a blue ribbon.My mother usually drove me to the riding events, but on this day, my father planned to drop us off at the fairgrounds with the horse trailer(马车)．Although we never discussed it, my father's struggle with alcoholism had become the silent centre of our family life.My mother was paralyzed with fear and indecision.Her salary as a part-time nurse couldn't possibly support four children.No one talked about alcoholism in those days，and it was my family secret.We climbed on the trailer and my father pulled out of our driveway and headed towards the fairgrounds，picking up speed once we hit the main road.It wasn't until we felt a big bump that I realized the trailer was out of control.The dream of my riding winner disappeared.Tonka lay on the floor, completely still.No words were possible.I knew he was dead.Suddenly a man appeared.“Are you all right？” he asked.“Yes.”I answered，although I knew that nothing was all right.“Sit here on the grass，”he said.He bent down to look into the trailer.Tonka remained still.He touched Tonka and then turned to face me.“He is going to be OK.He has just been knocked unconscious.” He rubbed Tonka's cheeks and gently pulled his ears.Tonka rose to his feet.Our father was talking to a police officer.He was upset and in pain and took little notice of me.I looked back；the man was gone.I never forgot him.He gave me strength and a sense of hope in a dark and frightening moment.1．The writer went to the fairgrounds because he wanted to ________.A．take part in a horse racingB．buy Mum a blue ribbonC．join the local riding clubD．train his horse there2．We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.A．the family kept silent at homeB．the family lived a secret lifeC．Father was addicted to alcoholD．Mother was physically disabled3．What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A．Once formed，bad habits are difficult to break.B．Unexpected kindness is a light that shines in the darkness.C．However mean your life is，meet it and live it.D．Family is a place of encouragement, a safe harbour in the storms.BSince I became a full-time freelancer(自由职业者), I've found one of the hardest things to do is to get up early. Without the danger of being fired, there just hasn't been a lot of motivation(动机) to get out of bed.I've quickly learned that getting up is the key to success and better yet: waking up early is really just a habit.The most important thing to keep in mind is that you must have strong reasons to get out of bed. Motivation is the only thing keeping us from lying in bed all day.Writing down all the big and important things you'll do the next day can give you an extra push in your goal to wake up early and quickly.Don't read in bed. Spending as little time as possible in bed will actually help your body realize that the bed is for sleeping, and not for lying awake for hours. The goal of reading in bed is just to help you fall asleep within 10 minutes.Stress is one of the main causes of poor sleep. Relax yourself before getting into bed. Try controlling breathing exercises or taking yoga exercises to lower your stress level.These are just a few ways you can use to wake up earlier. Finding the best way is the most important, and it requires a little work. The key thing is that waking up should be a pleasant experience. If you can make waking up something you are looking forward to, you're already halfway on your journey towards becoming an early riser.4．What do we know about the author?A．He has a full-time job outside. B．He likes lying in bed all day.C．He was once fired by a company. D．He has difficulty getting up early.5．The author gives us some tips to help us________.A．find the key to success B．become an early riserC．fall asleep within 10 minutes D．relax after a day's hard work6．Which of the following is NOT true about doing yoga?A．It is a good way to reduce stress. B．It can help you sleep.C．It can make you worried. D．It will help you wake up earlier.CWhat an athlete eats before, during and after exercise is important for comfort and performance during exercise. While eating soon before exercise doesn't provide the fuel needed for the activity, it can prevent hunger during exercise. The major source of fuel for muscles is stored in the days before exercise. This is one reason that the post-exercise meal is very important to recovery and being ready for the next exercise.Exercising on a full stomach is not a good idea. Food that remains in your stomach during an event may cause stomach upset. To make sure you have enough energy, yet reduce stomach discomfort, you should allow a meal to fully digest before the start of the event.If you have an early morning race or exercise, it's best to get up early enough to eat your pre-exercise meal. If not, you should try to eat or drink something easily digestible about 20～30 minutes before the event. The closer you are to the time of your event the less you should eat. You can have a liquid meal closer to your event than a solid meal because your stomach digests liquids faster.Because glucose(葡萄糖) is the energy source for most exercise, a pre-exercise meal should include foods that are high in carbohydrates and easy to digest. This includes foods such as fruit, bread, energy bars and drinks.Planning is necessary if you are competing in an all-day event, such as track meets or other tournaments. You should plan ahead and prepare meals and snacks that you have tried before. Do not experiment with something new on the event day.7．Fully digesting before an event may________．A．cause stomach upset B．give enough energy and stomach discomfort C．give comfort and good performance during exercise D．lead to hunger during exercise8．From the passage we can learn________．A．you'd better have your pre-exercise meal after an early morning raceB．fruits and bread are high in glucose and easy to digestC．planning is not necessary for track meetsD．you can try something new for your meals on the event day9．What does the underlined word “digest” mean?A．Absorb. B．Interest. C．Disappear. D．Recover.10．What is the best title for the passage?A．Tips for eating before exercise B．What to eat during exerciseC．Fully digesting before exercise D．Planning for your exercise第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Unit 2 The Olympic Games【导语】随着时间的推移和奥林匹克运动的发展变化，对奥林匹克标志的阐释也出现了变化。

奥林匹克旗和五环的含义，不仅象征五大洲的团结，而且强调所有参赛运动员应以公正、坦诚的运动员精神在比赛场上相见！The Olympic FlagOn the Olympic flag，the rings appear on a white background(背景)．Pierre de Coubertin，the father of the modern Olympic Games，explains the meaningof the flag：“The Olympic flag has a white background，with five interlaced rings in the centre：blue，yellow，black，green and red.This design is symbolic；it represents the five continents of the world，united by Olympism，while the six colours are those that appear on all the national flags of the world at the present time.”Combined in this way，the six colours of the flag，(including the white of thebackground)represent all nations. It is wrong，therefore，to believe that each of the colours corresponds(与……相符)to a certain continent! At the Olympic Games，the flag is brought into the Stadium during the opening ceremony(开幕式)．After its arrival，the flag is lifted up the flagpole.It must fly in the stadium during the whole of the Games.When the flag is lowered at theclosing ceremony，it means the end of the Games. The mayor of the host city of the Games passes the Olympic flag to the mayorof the next host city of the Games. Even though Pierre de Coubertin intended(想要)the Olympic Games to be an international event from 1896 in Athens(Greece)，it was only at the 1912 Games in Stockholm (Sweden) that，for the first time，the participants(参加者)came from all five continents.One year later，in 1913，the five rings appeared at the top of a letter written by Pierre de Coubertin.He drew the rings and coloured them by hand.He then described this symbol in the Olympic Review of August 1913. It was also Coubertin who had the idea for the Olympic flag.He presented therings and flag in June 1914 in Paris at the Olympic Congress.The First World War prevented the Games from being celebrated in 1916 in Berlin(Germany)as planned.It was not until 1920 in Antwerp (Belgium) that the flag and its five rings could be seen flying in an Olympic stadium.【词海拾贝】1．interlaced adj.交织的；交错的2．symbolic adj.象征的；象征性的3．represent v．代表；象征【问题思考】阅读短文，判断正(T)误(F)。

Three years ago, few people would go swimming in the icy waters. But now there is a Winter-swimming Enthusiasts’ Club（冬泳爱好者协会）and it has more than 2,000 members. The oldest is 84 years old and the youngest is only 7. The members are from all walks of life. They may be workers, peasants, soldiers, teachers, students…Though it is now the coldest part of the season and the water t emperature in the city’s lakes is around 0℃, many winter-swimmers still swim in the icy waters, even when it is snowing.

Winter-swimmers Are Brave MenBRecently Dr. Cleiman has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labour through your work, you may say that you are “hot”. That is true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak (top).For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so.Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what this energy cycle means and which cycle each member of the family has.You can’t change your cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habits can help Dr. Cleiman believe.If your energy cycle is low in the morning but you have an important job early in the day, rise before your usual hour, and then you will work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a lazy yawn(呵欠) and stretch (伸腰). Sit on the edge of bed before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome searching for clean clothes by laying them out the night before.36. Dr. Cleiman didn’t explain in the passage__________.A. how people can make their life fit their cycleB. whether everyone has a daily cycle or notC. why people have their energy cycle of body at different timesD. what will happen in the family if the couple fail to realize which cycle each member has37.For what reason may husbands and wives quarrel with each other?A .Either of them gets up late in the morningB.

They don’t know which cycle of the other.38.According to the passage,______.A. one should get up earlier if he wants to work better at his low point in the morningB. one can change his cycleC. whenever you feel hot, your energy cycle reaches the highestD. your cycle must be in the morning if you can get up early39.Which of the following can save your energy in the morning?A.

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 critici sm 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 win ning 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 J acques 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 sir en(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 importa nt 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 licens eThat 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”.

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 Americannation 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 whathappened 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”.

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.
