一、阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分）AThe man goes quietly into the room. He stands over the bed where his three-day-old son is lying and begins to speak to him.“My son, I have dreamt of you for many, many years. I had your name picked out even before you were born because I knew that I wanted you. Every time I thought of you I would have a smile on my face. Gabriel. You always gave me joy.“I really hope we have a great relationship, where you can talk to me about anything and not be embarrassed. Most of the time it will seem like I am too old to understand, but I’m sure you will see that, as I did with my father, my advice is some of the best you will get.“I am sorry for the misunderstandings (误会) we will have, but you will understand I spent my whole life waiting for you. You are my son, so I am not going to sit back and watch you hurt yourself. You are very important to me. ”The man stops and looks at his son. Then he begins to sob (呜咽).“Sorry, my dear, I’m crying because something bad happened. I am seriously ill. I will leave you soon.” The man gives a weak laugh. “This is the first time in many years I have been brought to tears.” The man kisses the baby who is sleeping so soundly and whispers, “I will love you forever.”1.

Every four years, many countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honour in sport. As many as 6，000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honour, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is in the spirit of the Olympics—to take part is what matters.The Olympic Games always start in a bright colour and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first, for it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held—the host country—marches in last.The runner with the Olympic torch (火炬) then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sportsman from the host country takes the Olympic oath (宣誓) on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Games. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field，but there are a few days before these sports start. Each day the competitors take part in different sports，like riding，shooting，swimming，and cross－country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.More and more women are taking part in the Games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912.But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as men.4．Why is there honour for the losers as well as for the winners?A．Because losers and winners should be equally treated. B．Because failure is the mother of success.C．Because losers need encouragement. D．Because what really matters is to take part in the Olympic Games.5．Which of the following is a long－established practice in the opening ceremony?A．Runners enter the stadium with torches. B．Each team puts on a wonderful display.C．The Greek team marches in first. D．Sportsmen and sportswomen wear magnificent clothes.6．Who takes the Olympic oath?A．A judge from a foreign country. B．A sportsman from the host country.C．An officer from the host country. D．A Greek sportsman.7．When did women start taking part in the Olympic Games?A．In 1912. B．In 1900. C．In 1928. D．In 1924.CLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, " Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."8. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _______.A. work at homeB. access the InternetC. use for their schoolworkD. connect them to libraries9. Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A. None of the above reasons is correct.B. They use the computer language.C. Laptops have speakers.D. They don't really talk.10. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. It is an old college in America.C. 1500 students have laptops.D. Students there can do everything.11. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can _______.A. get information from around the worldB. travel around the worldC. attend lectures on information technologyD. have free laptopsDMany animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve the natural world they inhabit (居住) is now more important than ever.DodoThe Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. Theflightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and the last one was killed in 1681.RhinosThe Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most Rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves (保护区). Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).The Giant PandaThe future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1,000 remain in the wild. The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, the panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose (造成) one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.WhalesThe International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries (保护区),7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered. Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.TigersThe last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers' bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.12. Which group of the following animals has already died out according to the text?A. The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.B. The Rhino, Whale and the South China tiger.C. The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.D. The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda.13. ________can serve as a cure for certain diseases.A. The Dodo's delicious meatB. The panda's black and white patched coatC. The whale's rich oilD. The Rhino horn and tigers' bones and organs14. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.
