Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)31 For years I.O.C. Czar

15、 Juan Antonio Samaranch has exhibited a pronounced ambivalence about drug use, and certainly his stance has allowed a number of golden boys and girls to keep their images shiny while doping. Careful athletes can easily beat the system that is in place to catch drug abusers. Unscrupulous sports feder

16、ations can tailor testing schedules and tip off their constituents. Steroid creams can be flushed from the system in 24 to 48 hours. And for some of the most commonly used enhancers, such as erythropoietin (EPO), there are still no institutionalized teats. It is said that EPO, which increases stamin

17、a by boosting an athletes red blood cell count, can improve an athletes performance in a 20-minmum by 30 sec., but it is otherwise a nightmare of a drug. Overdose on EPO, and the blood becomes too thick for the heart to pump. EPO is believed to be the culprit in no fewer than 25 mysterious deaths am

18、ong world-class cyclists since 1987.But athletes will take EPO in Sydney because they can, and some of them will take too much of it. In 1995 Olympiccaliber U.S. athletes were asked in a poll, “Would you take a drug that made you a champion, knowing that it would kill you in five years?“ more than h

19、alf said yes. So even if we forget about fair play and credibility and Olympic ideals, we are left with this: the athletes must be protected from themselves arm the pressure to win. How?The I.O.C. needs to do two things immediately: develop a spine, and federalize. The only way to catch a cheat is w

20、ith unannounced, out-of-competition testing. Historically the I.O.C. has delegated decision making to individual sports federations, but that policy is not working when it comes to drags. A third of the 28 federations have yet to agree to out-of-competition tests in advance of the Sydney Games. The

21、I.O.C. should call an emergency session and make a new rule applying to all sports, then send out its newly empowered testers.As for that imperfect test for EPO-use it anyway. As gold medal marathoner Frank Shorter, now chairman of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, says, knowing a test is looming that wi

22、ll knock cheaters off stride. Shorter says that if there is no EPO test at Sydney, then every endurance or strength performance is suspect. Hes right. And when sport becomes suspectwhen no one believes in itits no longer worth watching.31 Whats Samaranchs attitude towards drug use in Olympic Games?（

23、A）Indignant（B） Tolerate（C） Paradoxical（D）Neutral32 According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?（A）When athletes take steroid creams, they would be definitely tested.（B） The testing system is not exact enough because the athletes are informed testing schedules beforehand.（C） More than ha

24、lf of the Olympiccaliber U.S. athletes have taken the dreadful drugs to win the game（D）Erythropoietin is a kind of drug that can enhance an athletes performance in 20 minutes.33 Which of the following actions is not what the I.O.C. will take to deal with the drugs?（A）Do the testing without giving an

25、y information.（B） Federalize the sports federations together（C） Do the testing that can detect all kind of drugs.（D）Do the testing out of the competition.34 What is the expression “knock cheaters off stride“ mean?（A）To destroy cheaters plan（B） To kick cheaters out of game（C） To make cheaters exhaust

26、ed（D）To help cheaters working on their plan35 What is following is the cause that will make the Olympic Games suspect and no longer worth watching?（A）The participation of cheaters（B） The untested EPO-use（C） Lack of new world records（D）Unannounced and out-of-competitive test35 A piece by Cambridge ph

27、ilosopher Simon Blackburn in the current issue of the Society of Authors journal addresses the difficult question of whether philosophy ought to be accessible to the general reader. “The great philosophical writers of the past wrote for humanity,“ Blackburn begins, enumerating Plato, Aristotle etc.

28、The rot set in, according to him, during the 20th century, with the academicising of the discipline.It seems a reckless bet at best to portray Plato as “writing for humanity“, when the philosophers in his ideal state are to be kingsthat is, not just good at what they do, but rulers over the rest in

29、a hierarchically ordered, rigidly unified polity.But is “writing for humanity“ such an obviously helpful ideal? Most people dont expect to be able to understand other kinds of specialist discourse. The lay person would understand little or nothing of micro-electronic engineering, has no interest in

30、doing so, and is content to leave it to the initiated. But philosophy is about the world we live in, and our lives in it, Blackburn objects, waving the flag for the enriching humanities against the sterilities of technology. Therefore everybody should be able to understand it. On this view, what dif

31、ferentiates philosophy from science is the fact that it poses questions about the world we live in and our perceptions of it, and even makes suggestions as to what we ought to do in our lives. Neither of those approaches is absent from theoretical science, though. What would be the point of research

32、es into the causes of obesity or the effects of climate change if they didnt tell us, or at least strive to tell us, what we ought to do about such matters?The point is that philosophy is as much a technical discipline as these other sciences are, and as little capable of being diluted down to words

33、 of one syllable. One of the reasons for this is that philosophy isnt necessarily just a set of conclusions. To many of the most recent western thinkers, it is first and foremost a methodology, rather than an attempt to arrive at a fixed theory. The Frankfurt School philosopher Theodor Adorno declar

34、ed, “The crux is what happens in it, not a thesis or a position. . . Essentially, therefore, philosophy is not expoundable. If it were, it would be superfluous; the fact that most of it can be expounded speaks against it. “In a final somersault, Blackburn states that making philosophy accessible sho

35、uld not be a question of simplifying it but of bringing people up to its level. So the problem turns out to lie after all not with the attempt to interpret the world, but with the faculties of those who want to hear it interpreted.36 By citing the journal Society of Authors , the author intends to .

36、（A）analyze the adverse effect of academicising on philosophy（B） describe the degeneration of philosophical writing（C） discuss the approachability of philosophy to the ordinary（D）exemplify the writing principle of great philosophers37 The second paragraph suggests that Plato wrote for_.（A）the general

37、 reader（B） an elite audience（C） the rulers of his times（D）his ideal philosophers38 Simon Blackburn holds that philosophy exceeds other sciences in_.（A）interestingness（B） technicality（C） accessibility（D）usefulness39 Theodor Adornos attitude towards the idea of “writing for humanity“ is one of_.（A）str

38、ong disapproval（B） reserved consent（C） slight contempt（D）enthusiastic support40 The last paragraph implies that Blackburns final suggestion is_.（A）indirect（B） infeasible（C） insightful（D）illogical41 “I love Microsoft and Microsoft did not lose me“, protested Robert Scoble, a little too loudly, on his

39、 blog last week, in a bid to end feverish speculation in the blogosphere about why, exactly, he had decided to leave Microsoft. The software giants “technical evangelist“, Mr. Scoble has become the best-known example of a corporate blogger. On his blog, called Scobleizer, which he started in 2000, h

40、e writes about Microsofts products, and has sometimes criticised them fiercelythereby both establishing his credibility and, by its willingness to tolerate him, helping to humanise his employer.As bloggings influence has grown, so bas Mr. Scoblesboth inside and outside Microsoft. Last year, after he

41、 blogged against Microsofts decision to abandon support for a law prohibiting discrimination against gays, the companys managers backed down. He helped write a book, Naked Conversations: How Blogs Are Changing the Way Businesses Talk With Customers, published in January, that has become essential re

42、ading for any boss trying to define a new-media strategy for his business.So why leave? Mr. Scoble has denied several of the theories circulating in the blogosphere, including that he had become fed up with having his expenses challenged or with sharing an office; that Microsoft challenged his views

43、 too often; that he had become, frustrated; and that the firm had not tried hard enough to keep him. Still, his friend Dave Winer, another blogger, described Microsoft as a “stifling organisation“ before observing that “when he finally decided to leave, its as if a huge weight came off him, and all

44、of a sudden, the old Scoble is back“. He views Mr. Scobles departure as evidence that Microsoft has been unable to move with the times: “Im glad to see my old friend didnt go down with the ship“. Another blogger says that his departure shows the “end of honest blogging“.The real reason may be less s

45、inisterthough troubling for the growing number of employers encouraging their employees to biog. Blogging allows staff to build a personal brand separate from that of their firm; if they are good at it, and build up a readership, that brand may be more valuable to them elsewhere. Mr. Scoble is off t

46、o join PodTech. net, a rising star in video podcasting, which is now far more fashionable than blogging and potentially far more lucrative. It seems that Mr. Scoble is most impressed by Rocketboom, one of whose founders, Amanda Congdon, is said to be drawing 300000 viewers a day to her videoblog, an

48、he opinion in Scobles biog.（C） Scoble will not write anything in his blog when he leaves Microsoft.（D）Scobles blog becomes the most popular corporate blog in the Internet.42 Which is the real reason for Robert Scoble to leave Microsoft?（A）He doesnt get along with Microsoft any longer.（B） He wishes t
