An employee of the Electric Utility of Amsterdam, lit the first Olympic flame in the Marathon Tower of the Olympic Stadium in Amsterdam. The modern practice of moving the Olympic Flame via a relay system from Olympia to the Olympic venue began with the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. The relay, captured in Leni Riefenstahl’s film, “Olympia”, was part of the Nazi propaganda machine’s attempt to add myth and mystique to Adolf Hitler’s regime. Hitler saw the link with the ancient Games as the perfect way to illustrate his belief that classical Greece was an Aryan forerunner of the modern German Reich. Although most of the time the torch with the Olympic Flame is still carried by runners, it has been transported in many different ways. The fire traveled by boat in 1948 to cross the English Channel, and it was first transported by airplane in 1952, when the fire traveled to Helsinki. All carriers in the torch relay to Stockholm, where these events were held instead, traveled on horseback. Remarkable means of transportation were used in 1976, when the flame was transformed to a radio signal. From Athens, this signal was transmitted by satellite to Canada, where it was received and used to trigger a laser beam to re-light the flame. In 2000, the torch was carried under water by divers near the Great Barrier Reef. Other unique means of transportation include a Native American canoe, a camel, and Concorde. In 2004, the first global torch relay was undertaken, a journey that lasted 78 days. The Olympic flame covered a distance of more than 78,000 km in the hands of some 11,300 torchbearers, traveling to Africa and South America for the first time, visiting all previous Olympic cities and finally returning to Athens for the 2004 Summer Olympics. Another means of catching attention has been the lighting of the fire in the stadium. At the 1992 Barcelona Games, Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo shot a burning arrow over the cauldron(大汽锅)from a platform at the opposite end of the stadium. Two years later, the Olympic fire was brought into the stadium of Lillehammer by a ski jumper. 56. The practice of the Olympic Flame has been carried on for about_________. A. 72 years B. 80 years C. 60 years D. 56 years 57. Which is NOT the means of Olympic flame transportation mentioned in the passage? A. Via a radio signal. B. On horseback. C. By swimming. D. By airplane. 58. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. the lighting of the Olympic flame in the stadium is always appealing to people. B. the global torch relay has been practiced since the Olympic Games were created. C. as was illustrated by Hitler, classical Greece was actually part of Germany. D. there were not many Olympic torch carriers in the 1928 Olympic Games. B Gland, Switzerland – Rivers on every continent are drying out, threatening severe water shortages, according to a new WWF report. The report, World's Top Rivers at Risk, released ahead of World Water Day (22 March), lists the top ten rivers that are fast dying as a result of climate change, pollution and dams. “All the rivers in the report symbolize the current freshwater crisis, which we have been signalling for years," says WWF Global Freshwater Programme Director Jamie Pittock. "Poor planning and inadequate protection of natural areas mean we can no longer assume that water will flow forever. Like the climate change crisis, which now has the attention of business and government, we want leaders to take notice of the emergency facing freshwater now not later.” Five of the ten rivers listed in the report are in Asia alone. They are the Yangtze, Mekong, Salween, Ganges and Indus. Europe’s Danube, the America’s La Plata and Rio Grande/Rio Bravo, Africa’s Nile-Lake Victoria and Australia’s Murray-Darling also make the list. Dams along the Danube River — one of the longest flowing rivers in Europe — have already destroyed 80 per cent of the river basin’s wetlands and floodplains. Even without warmer temperatures threatening to melt Himalayan glaciers, the Indus River faces scarcity due to over-extraction for agriculture. Fish populations, the main source of protein and overall life support systems for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide, are also being threatened. The report calls on governments to better protect river flows and water allocations in order to safeguard habitats and people’s livelihoods. “Conservation of rivers and wetlands must be seen as part and parcel of national security, health and economic success,” Pittock adds. “Emphasis must be given to exploring ways of using water for crops and products that do not use more water than necessary.” In addition, cooperative agreements for managing shared resources, such as the UN Watercourses Convention, must be ratified and given the resources to make them work, says WWF. “The freshwater crisis is bigger than the ten rivers listed in this report but it mirrors the extent to which unabated development is jeopardizing nature’s ability to meet our growing demands,” says Pittock. “We must change our mindset now or pay the price in the not so distant future.”(373) 59. According to the passage, which of the following is not the cause of severe water shortage? A. Globe warming B. Less rainfall C. Pollution D. Poor planning 60. Judging from what Jamie Pittock says, he wants to ________. A. make readers aware of the serious situation of water shortage B. warn people not to waste water any longer C. call on leaders to pay attention to the problem promptly D. analyze the causes of the severe water shortage 61. We can easily learn from the passage that________. A. the fresh water crisis will be out of control soon B. Asia is facing the most severe challenge of water shortage C. to better protect river flows and water allocations is the only solution D. fish populations are of vital importance to national economic success 62. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________. A. destroying B. improving C. losing D. stimulating C Seventeen-year-old Randy Waldron, Jr., was shocked when he applied for his first credit card and was denied. He was even more shocked by the reason: He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt. Waldron's identity had been stolen by his father, who left when Randy was learning to walk. From 1982 to 1999, Randy Waldron, Sr., used his son's Social Security number to obtain credit from various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in debts. He declared bankruptcy in his son's name, which resulted in default judgments against the younger Waldron. It has taken Randy Jr., now a 24-year-old flight attendant, years to untangle the mess. Waldron isn't alone. Identity theft is this country's fastest-growing crime -- and, increasingly, ID thieves are targeting children. Their clean credit and absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims. Linda Foley, co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, estimates that at least 400,000 children had their identities stolen in 2005, more than double the number in 2003. Waldron's case is typical: The resource center estimates that two-thirds of child ID thefts are committed by family members. Some dishonest persons use children's names and Social Security numbers to ring up massive debts; others use children's identities in place of their own when caught committing other crimes; still others sell identification information on the black market to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists. The theft brings its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma创伤, in part because the identity abuse often goes undetected for years. Dealing with child identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult. Laws in many states are insufficient to handle the crime's complexity, and financial institutions are often less than helpful. Randy Waldron, Jr., has worked tirelessly for eight years to straighten out his credit record, and he continues to deal with the fallout. "It's been a very long and arduous battle," he says. "Recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part. I think a lot of victims assume the problem will go away." 63. Which of the following is the best title of the passage? A. Child Identity Theft B. How to Avoid Identity Theft C. Recover My Identity D. Look out for Family Members 64. Why do children easily become the targets of identity theft? A. Because they cannot read or write at a young age. B. Because they have empty credit and criminal records. C. Because they are too young to protect themselves. D. Because identity theft can’t be found in time. 65. With the help of the child’s identity, the criminals can do the following except ________. A. obtain credits from various merchants and lenders B. substitute for their own identities when caught committing crimes C. straighten out their own credit record D. sell identification information on the black market 66. It can be inferred from the passage that ________. A. New laws should be made to help the identity theft victims B. Children should never trust their family members C. Financial institutions should be responsible for the identity theft D. Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country D All day long he flew, and at night-time he arrived at the city. “Where shall I put up?” he said; “I hope the town has made preparations.” Then he saw the statue on the tall column. “I will put up there,” he cried; “it is a fine position, with plenty of fresh air.” So he flew down and settled just between the feet of the Happy Prince. “I have a golden bedroom,” he said softly to himself as he looked round, and he prepared to go to sleep; but just as he was putting his head under his wing a large drop of water fell on him. “What a curious thing!” he cried; “there is not a single cloud in the sky, the stars are quite clear and bright, and yet it is raining. The climate in the north of Europe is really dreadful.” Then another drop fell. “What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said; “I must look for a good chimney-pot,” and he determined to fly away. But before he had opened his wings, a third drop fell, and he looked up, and saw--Ah! What did he see? The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity. “Who are you?” he said. “I am the Happy Prince.” “Why are you weeping then?” asked the Swallow, “you have quite wetted me.” “When I was alive and had a human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived in the Palace of Sans-Souci, where sorrow is not allowed to enter. In the daytime I played with my companions in the garden, and in the evening I led the dance in the Great Hall. Round the garden ran a very high wall, but I never cared to ask what lay beyond it, everything about me was so beautiful. People called me the Happy Prince, and happy indeed I was, if pleasure be happiness. So I lived, and so I died. And now that I am dead they have set me up here so high that I can see all the ugliness and all the misery of my city, and though my heart is made of lead yet I cannot choose but weep.” “What is he not solid gold?” said the Swallow to himself. He was too polite to make any personal remarks out loud. 67. The swallow wanted to put up when he arrived at the city because ________. A. he saw the statue of the Happy Prince. B. he flew into a lovely golden bedroom. C. he had a whole-day flight and wanted to sleep. D. it was night and a rain was likely to come soon. 68. Why did the swallow feel curious when a drop of water fell on him? A. Because of the heavy rain though there was no cloud in the sky. B. Because the statue couldn’t keep the rain off though made of gold. C. Because he thought it was raining despite bright and clear stars. D. Because he couldn’t understand why the Happy Prince was weeping. 69. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Seeing the Prince’s beautiful face, the swallow had pity on him. B. The swallow flew away immediately he found it was raining. C. The Prince lived happily because he didn’t know what tears were. D. The swallow had wanted to find a good chimney-pot but failed. 70. What made the Happy Prince weep according to the passage? A. The high wall stopping him from going out. B. His not being able to play with his companions. C. His sudden death and his statue being too high. D. The hard life of the people and his inability to help. 第四部分 任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意:每空格1个单词。 Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV. The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to. Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes. Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching. Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence. A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways. If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded — as he see it — of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical(愤世嫉俗的). Police in 71.________ world Police on TV Knowledge of 72.___ law He has to know as much as a professional lawyer and applies it to their 73.____ work.

As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation. Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage. As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future. 具体评分要求: 1.本题内容方面每个要点3分; 2.人称、单词拼写错1到2处扣1分,超过3处以上酌情处理; 3.时态、语态、主谓一致等语法、语用错误,每1处扣1分; 4、卷面不洁、难以辨认扣2分; 5.词数少于或多于20的扣2分。 附录音原文: Text 1 W: What’s the best time to go to the zoo?

They are really kind people. It’s too bad that you couldn’t go with me. W: I know. But I’ in sure I can go with you next time. I want very much to see your parents, too. You can translate my native language Chinese into Italian when I’ m with them. M: No problem. We can also bring our daughter with us. She will return from America by then. Text 10 OK, everyone. May I please have your attention? I’m Bill Smith, the director of the school play for this year. It’s a great pleasure to have you as assistants to help organize the play. I’m sending around a form for you to put down some information on how we can get in touch with you, so please put your names and phone numbers down. Also please write down the performances that you will be able to help with. I realize that not everyone can come to each performance, but the more you attend, the better. However, you should also keep in mind that we will need a lot of time, and we may end up staying quite late into the evening. If you have any special skills, it would be good for you to write those down on the paper as well. In particular, we need two lighting and sound people. We have hired one full-time lighting man, but one person can’ t do everything. We need several people to help out setting up the lights. Once you have all marked down any special skills you might have to offer, please return the form to me. At our next meeting on Tuesday, we’ll begin talking about all the different jobs. While you’ re waiting for the sheet to get passed around, I’ll be happy to answer any questions that you have today. 查看更多
