Others say that the opposite is true: those
15、 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 encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic i
16、ncident involving the 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 indignation after the hockey (曲棍球) final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match,
17、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 wasn“t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.“ The pres
18、ident 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 disturbance. It was though
19、t at first that the United States had won, by a single 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 the USA had ever lost an Ol
20、ympic basketball match. An appeal jury 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
21、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 the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the author, recent Olympic Games have
22、_.（分数：1.00）A.created goodwill between the nationsB.bred only false national prideC.barely showed any international friendshipD.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred(2).What did the manager mean by saying, “.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished“?（分数：1.00）A.His team w
23、ould no longer take part in international games.B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.C.There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.D.The Federation should be dissolved.(3).The basketball example implied that _.（分数：1.00）A.too much patriotism was d
24、isplayed in the incidentB.the announcement to prolong the match was wrongC.the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD.the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals(4).The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show _.（分数：1.00）A.how false national pride led
25、to undesirable incidents in international gamesB.that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to beC.that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendshipD.that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games(5).What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?（分数：1.00）A.The orga
26、nization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B.Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.C.Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.D.International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations.(6).What“s the reason unhappy incidents ha
27、ppening in the Olympic Games?（分数：1.00）A.Sport is competitive rather than for the love of the game.B.Some people don“t abide by the rules.C.Misunderstanding and hatred.D.Too much patriotism was stressed in the incident.十、Passage Two(总题数：1，分数：6.00)If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on the
28、ir feet, it is the Rio Carnival (狂欢节). Held in Rio de Janeiro, the country“s biggest city, the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momothe Lord of Misrule (无序之皇). On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six
29、days are so fun of parades, street dancing, fantastic clothes and partying (聚会) that many people forget about eating and sleeping. “It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio.“ said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several y
30、ears. For many Brazilians, the centre piece of the carnival is samba (桑巴舞), a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat (节拍) of the Latin music. The climax to this street party is the float (彩车)
31、parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party, while most people are free to enjoy the celebrations. Rio“s poli
32、ce officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police. Carnivals began in ancient Rome a
33、s a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honour of the city“s founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so. Despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the country“s culture.（分数：6.00）(1).According to the passage, duri
34、ng the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCEPT _.（分数：1.00）A.dancing in the streetsB.putting on colorful clothesC.eating a lot of foodD.holding exciting parades(2).Which of the following is not true about samba?（分数：1.00）A.It“s a typical Brazilian dance.B.It“s the centre piece of the ca
35、rnivals.C.Brazilians usually dance it.D.It“s a British dance.(3).How long does the carnival last?（分数：1.00）A.Six days.B.A whole week.C.Eight days.D.The whole of February.(4).The word “centerpiece“ in the 3rd paragraph means _.（分数：1.00）A.the most important partB.the middle partC.the central part of th
36、e cityD.the most attractive decoration(5).According to the passage, Bob Nadkami is _.（分数：1.00）A.a Brazilian who has come back from BritainB.a British man who visits Rio for the carnivalC.a British man who has come to live in BrazilD.a Brazilian who is attracted by the carnival(6).Which of the follow
37、ing statements is INCORRECT?（分数：1.00）A.The earliest carnivals were held in ancient Rome.B.Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Brazilians.C.Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Romans.D.The Brazilians have integrated the Roman carnival into their culture.十一、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：5.0
38、0)Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percen
39、t of the job“s wages, its holidays and its other benefits. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits. Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the mor
40、e highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positi
41、ons to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities. As would be expected, women constitute the b
42、ulk of job sharers. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britain“s Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job ma
43、rket after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual w
44、ork quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both ro
45、utine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.（分数：5.00）(1).“Employee commitment“ in Paragraph 2 refers to the employee“s _.（分数：1.00）A.loyaltyB.qualificationC.experienceD.achievement(2).Work
46、 sharing is different from job sharing in that _.（分数：1.00）A.it requires more working hoursB.it depends on the employer“s decisionC.it provides more work positionsD.it offers a more satisfactory salary(3).Job sharing is popular with young mothers mainly because _.（分数：1.00）A.they can take care of both
47、 work and familyB.they are over ideal working agesC.they seek equal opportunities with menD.they have difficulty finding full-time job(4).According to the survey, the sharers women consist of _.（分数：1.00）A.20%B.40%C.50%D.78%(5).The main purpose of the passage is to _.（分数：1.00）A.recommend job sharing
48、to womenB.describe job sharing in generalC.criticize job sharing as inefficientD.discuss a way to tackle unemployment十二、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Tides are created mainly by the pull of the moon on the earth. The moon“s pull causes water in the oceans to be a little deeper at a point closest to the
49、 moon and also at a point farthest from the moon, on the opposite side of the earth. These two tidal “waves“ follow the apparent movement of the moon around the earth and strike nearly every coast line at intervals of about twelve hours and twenty-five minutes. After reaching a high point, the water level goes down gradually for a little more than six hours and then begins to rise towards a new high point. Hence, most coast lines have two tides a day, and the tides occur fifty minut
