13、rnment-backed militias. Kofi Annan spoke with tribal and women leaders about the problems facing refugees in a camp called Zam-Zam, outside the city of E1-Feshir. The leaders said they were afraid to return home because of possible attacks by the Janjaweed militias. But overall, they said, aid group

17、. “The refugees moved to another camp are among the one million people in Darfur driven from their homes by Janjaweed militias. Human rights groups charge that the ethnic-Arab militias have been used by the government to terrorize the Darfur“s civilian population, which is ethnic-African, as part of
18、 efforts to put down an armed rebellion. Sudanese authorities deny supporting the Janjaweed and say they are working to disarm them. Until recently, they allowed little access to the region by aid workers. The conflict has given rise to what the U.N. calls the world“s worst humanitarian crisis today

But when the annual games fo
25、r the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change. Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stroke Mandeville Hospital
26、near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sports for the disabled. In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings things developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stroke Mandeville every year. In 196
27、0 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stroke Mandeville. I
28、n the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1,604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stroke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics. The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and
29、 in proving that being disabled does not mean you can“t enjoy sports. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwilling- ness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able bo
30、dies. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.（分数：5.00）(1).The first games for the disabled were held _ after Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England.（分数：1.00）A.50 yearsB.21 yearsC.9 ye

32、.D.people who compete in the games.(4).Which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled.B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier.C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany.D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British.(
33、5).From the passage we may conclude that the writer is（分数：1.00）A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabled.B.a disabled who once took part in the games.C.against holding the games for the disabled.D.in favor of holding the game for the disabled.六、Passage 3(总题数：1，分数：5.00)U.S. health officia
34、ls are increasing surveillance measures at doctors“ offices and international borders to guard against the spread of swine flu. Washington also has begun dispersing medicine from a federal stockpile. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there have been only mild cases of swine flu in
35、the United States, but experts remain on guard. Acting agency director, Richard Besser, says the epidemic in Mexico prompted U.S. doctors to begin monitoring actively for possible infections. “We are asking doctors when they see someone who has flu-like illness who has traveled to an affected region
36、, to do a culture, take a swab in the nose and send it to the lab so we can see: is it influenza, is it this type?“ he said. Speaking Sunday at the White House, Besser said the extra detection efforts have enabled officials to find more infections than under normal circumstances. He also says he exp
37、ects the number of infections will rise and the illness will spread to other U.S. regions, as doctors continue to monitor the problem. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says it does not recommend people travel to Mexico, where the outbreak of swine flu is centered and more than 100 deat
38、hs have been reported. But officials have not ordered a travel ban to the country. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says, instead, airlines have the option of screening passengers on flights from Mexico. “We are letting air carders and our employees at the gates on those flights make sur
39、e that they are asking people if they are sick; and if they are sick, that they should not board the plane,“ she said. Denise Korniewicz, an infectious disease expert at the University of Miami, says officials should take bolder steps to screen passengers at international borders, as Japan and other
40、 Asian nations are doing. “We have a very transient population here. And Japan has taken a lot of precautions. What Japan is doing is they are making everyone take a temperature when they get off the airplane,“ she said. “As far as I am concerned, I think that is a good idea.“ U.S. officials say the
41、y are holding off on more aggressive actions because the outbreak has been limited in the United States and they do not want to cause a health scare. Korniewicz says around the country health centers are putting in place emergency response measures aimed at limiting disease outbreaks.（分数：5.00）(1).Wh
42、at promotes American doctors to begin monitoring actively for possible infections?（分数：1.00）A.There have been serious cases of swine flu in the United States.B.S. health officials are increasing surveillance measures at doctors“ offices.C.The epidemic happened in Mexico.D.Experts remained on guard.(2

44、people advised not to travel to Mexico?（分数：1.00）A.Because it is the most serious area for the outbreak of swine flu.B.Because a travel ban to the country has been ordered.C.Because more than 100 cases of swine flu have been reported.D.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention forbids doing so.(
45、4).What is one of the precautions that Japan has taken?（分数：1.00）A.They make sure that they are asking flight passengers if they are sick.B.They are taking a temperature of every passenger when they get off the airplane.C.They are screening passengers on flights from Mexico.D.They are forbidding peop

47、tions against swine flu.D.Besser says the number of infections will probably rise.七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：4.00)In Britain, strictly speaking, there are three elements in Parliamentthe Crown, the House of Lords and the House of Commons.
