27、.00)_八、Passage Translation(总题数：1，分数：10.00)_九、SECTION 2: STUDA SKI(总题数：6，分数：60.00)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 cont

28、ests 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 incident involving t

29、he 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 final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to th

30、e 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 wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.“ The president of the Federation said

31、 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 thought at first that the United St

32、ates 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 Olympic basketball match. An ap

33、peal 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 of the game. The suggestion th

34、at 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：10.00）(1).According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _.（分数：2.00）A.mated goodwill

35、 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：2.00）A.His team would no longer take part in i

36、nternational games.B.Hockey and the Federation are both mined 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：2.00）A.too much patriotism was displayed in the incidentB.the

37、 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：2.00）A.how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in i

38、nternational 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：2.00）A.The organization of the Olympic Games

39、 must be improved.B.Athletes should compete as individual 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 nationsA meager diet may give you health and long life, but its not much funand

40、it might not even be necessary. We may be able to hang on to most of that youthful vigor even if we dont start to diet until old age.Stephen Spindler and his colleagues from the University of California at Riverside have found that some of an elderly mouses liver genes can be made to behave as they

41、did when the mouse was young simply by limiting its food for four weeks. The genetic rejuvenation wont reverse other damage caused by time for the mouse, but could help its liver metabolize drugs or get rid of toxins.Spindlers team fed three mice a normal diet for their whole lives, and fed another

42、three on half-rations. Three more mice were switched from the normal diet to half-feed for a month when they were 34 months oldequivalent to about 70 human years.The researchers checked the activity of 11,000 genes from the mouse livers, and found that 46 changed with age in the normally fed mice. T

43、he changes were associated with things like inflammation and free radical productionprobably bad news for mouse health. In the mice that had dieted all their lives, 27 of those 46 genes continued to behave like young genes. But the most surprising finding was that the mice that only started dieting

44、in old age also benefited from 70 percent of these gene changes.“This is the first indication that these effects kick in pretty quickly,“ says Huber Warner from the National Institute on Aging near Washington, D.CNo one yet knows if calorie restriction works in people as it does in mice, but Spindle

45、r is hopeful. “Theres attracting and tempting evidence out there that it will work,“ he says.If it does work in people, there might be good reasons for rejuvenating the liver. As we get older, our bodies are less efficient at metabolizing drugs, for example. A brief period of time of dieting, says S

46、pindler, could be enough to make sure a drug is effective.But Spindler isnt sure the trade-off is worth it. “The mice get less disease, they live longer, but theyre hungry,“ he says. “Even seeing what a diet does, its still hard to go to a restaurant and say: I can only eat half of that.“Spindler hopes we soon wont need to diet at all. His company, Life Span Genetics in California, is looking for drugs that have the effects of calorie restriction.（分数：10.00）(1).According
