     Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if
countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others say that the opposite is true:
that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.
There is probably some truth in both arguments,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done
little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only were there the
incidents of tragedy involving murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents
caused principally by minor national contests.
     One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final.There
had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,with the losers objecting to the final decisions.
They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents"
victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said,"This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the
International Hockey Federation are finished." The president of the Federation said later that such
behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
     The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia after a
disputable end to their contest.The game had ended in disorder.It was thought at first that the United
States had won by a point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian
player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the
basket.It was the first time that the US had ever  lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury
(评审委员会)  debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that  the result would
stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
     Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love
of the game.The suggestion  that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams might
be too much to hope for.But in present organization of Olympics there is far too much that encourages
aggressive patriotism (爱国主义)．

1．The author thinks that in recent years Olympic Games have________.A．showed little international friendship
B．greatly encouraged international brotherhood
C．created goodwill between the nations
D．created only misunderstanding and hatred2．What did the manager mean by saying "This isn"t hockey.Hockey and the International Hockey
Federation are finished"?A．This is not a standard hockey match.
B．The federation would not exist any longer after this match was over.
C．His team would not enter the game in three years.
D．The unfair decision ruined both hockey and the Federation.3．The basketball match showed that________.A．aggressive patriotism was displayed in the incident
B．the Russian team should not have taken advantage of the last three seconds
C．the appeal jury was too inefficient in making a decision
D．the American team should have taken the first place4．The author gives two examples in the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs in order to show that________.A．contests often end in disorder
B．no contests are fair in Olympic Games
C．competition discourages international friendship
D．unfair decisions are common in sports5．Which statement best summarizes this passage?A．Athletes should compete as individuals.
B．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
C．Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.

阅读理解     When friends come to visit us in the evening, they spend their time telling us they are in a hurry and
looking at their watches. It isn"t that our friends are all very busy, it is just that we haven"t got a television.
People think that we are very strange. "But what do you do in the evening?", they are always asking. The
answer is very simple. Both my wife and I have hobbies. We certainly don’t spend our evenings staring at
the walls. My wife enjoys cooking and painting and often attends evening classes in foreign languages.
This is particularly useful as we often go abroad for our holidays. I collect stamps and I"m always busy
with my collection. Both of us enjoy listening to the music and playing chess together.
     Sometimes there are power cuts and we have no electricity in the house. This does not worry us, we
just light candles and carry on with what we were doing before. Our friends, however, are lost—no
television! —So they don"t know what to do. On such evenings our house is very full—they all come to
us. They all have a good time. Instead of sitting in silence in front of the television, everybody talks and
plays games. 1. The couple have not got a television, because     . A. they are not rich enough

     Friendship and friends continue to be the centre of our life. The relationship that we share with our
friends is grounded in mutual (相互的) care as our friends help us in shaping our personalities as well.
Even in this age of online social networking and e-cards, the need of keeping the network of friends,

what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us.

place, it is unlikely that they’ll be eager to become your friends. To let someone know that you are

basic foundation. To make the other person feel important to you, you need to be a good listener and
encourage the other person to talk. Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not directly criticize or
make fun of him or her.
     The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual understanding. You need to
share his or her experiences and  it is necessary for you to develop a habit to see things from the other
person"s point of view.
     The third or final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement
towards your friend. Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend.
If what you expect from the person you want to make friends with matches with what that person can
give, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be successful.1. The underlined word "shaping" (in Paragraph 1) means "________".A. forming

阅读理解     The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the
apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to
fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens.
     Meanwhile, Fitzgerald"s wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later
Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his
wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖).
     Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers
gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid(出
价). Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald"s son by
an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
     When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled(敲槌)the crowd to attention. First the
lawyer read from Fitzgerald"s will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
     The poor-quality painting didn"t receive any bidders. . . except one-the old servant who had served
the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
     As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped
the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer
read from the will: "Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection. "Then the auction was
over. 1. The English Baron Fitzgerald was __________.A. a museum director
B. a master of art
C. an art collector
D. an art dealer 2. Why did the old servant bid for the painting of Fitzgerald"s son? A. He was devoted to the family.
B. He saw that no one bid for it.
C. He knew the content of the will.
D. He found it cheap for him to buy. 3. Fitzgerald"s will showed __________. A. his desire to fool the bidders
B. his invaluable love for his son
C. his sadness at the death of his son

阅读理解     Have you ever heard your own voice? "Of course," you say.
     Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, "Of course."
     But that"s not quite true.  Nobody else has ever heard your voice-the way you hear it.  When you
talk,  you set up sound waves.  The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears.
  But,  of course,  the sound of your voice begins inside your head.  The bones of your head pick up
the sound waves,  too.  They carry the sound waves straight to your inner ears.  You get the sound
from the outside and the inside too.  Other people get just the sound waves from the outside.  That is
why they don"t hear your voice the way you do.  1.You ________ hear your voice the same way others hear it.  A. can"t
B. seldom
C. sometimes
D. always2.Sound travels in the form of __________.   A. bones
