    In the competition of Olympic weightlifting，the athletes try to lift the maximum (最大的) weight they can. There are special conditions they have to meet in order to compete：body weight，height and strength.
    The Olympic weightlifting mainly tests the limit of explosive strength (爆发力)．There are not many lifters who really like Olympic weightlifting and the explanation is very simple：they are short of explosive strength.
    The weights used for Olympic weightlifting are added in kilograms. The order by which the athletes enter the competition is not general，but it is set depending on the event. Usually the athlete with the lowest weight begins. If he/she is not successful，he/she can try later. There is a maximum of three lifts allowed for every competition.
    For many years Olympic weightlifting was only for men. However，now women also take part in Olympic weightlifting. It was at the beginning of the 21st century that women’s competitions entered an organized professional environment. For women，Olympic weightlifting is more difficult because of their different body structure. However，strength training techniques (技术) are widely and successfully used by women，too.
    Lots of the athletes who’ve ended up in Olympic weightlifting competitions have started with strength training only to improve their muscle condition and their body power. However，the demarcation line (界线) is not still very clear between power training and Olympic weightlifting. This is how so many lifters have got into Olympic weightlifting competition，even if their purpose was different at the beginning.

    ¤ While the 2008 Olympics were the first to be broadcast entirely in HD, the 2012 Olympics are the first to broadcast in HD as well as 3D. Sean Taylor, a spokesperson for Panasonic – provider of some of the technologies – said it effectively, “Each Games, from a technology perspective, tries to have a first. London will be the first HD and 3D Games.” The games were first televised in Berlin in 1936 and played on big screens about the city. Then came the first games to enter households (strictly in London that is) in 1948, followed by the first internationally televised games during the 1960 Olympics in Rome. And ever since, that feeling of physically standing in the crowd and watching these mighty contestants has only gotten clearer, more defined. Now, they more literally than ever actually compete in your living room.
    § A paradox is presented as the London games celebrate both the Industrial Revolution (a.k.a. the birth of pollution) and a spirit of committed environmentalism; London will be the first to actively measure its own carbon footprint during these games, designing a stadium and accommodations that cut-back on negative emissions when at all possible. They are also shooting for a world record via the “Javelin,” designed specifically to keep as many exhaust pipes at bay as humanly possible.
    小题1:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. The Industrial Revolution first happened in England.
    B. 2012 London Olympics is the first to broadcast in HD.
    C. People couldn’t see the Olympic Games on TV 80 years ago.
    D. 2012 London Olympics is more environmentally friendly than before.
    小题2:What does the underlined word “paradox” probably mean in the text?
    A．solid evidenceB．advanced thought
    C．perfect opinionD．contradictory view
    小题3:Where does this text probably come from?
    A．a novelB．a reportC．a diaryD．an essay
    小题4:What can be the best title for the text?
    A．The History of Olympic Games.
    B．Two Firsts about 2012 London Olympics
    C．2012 London Olympics --- Eco-Conscious Games
    D．2008 Beijing Olympics and 2012 London Olympics

    The Mayan Indians lived in Mexico for thousands of years. The Maya were so bright that they achieved a lot. They had farms, temples and cities with many buildings. They knew much about nature and the world around them. This knowledge helped them to live a better life than most people of that time.
    In ancient Mexico there were many small clearings in the forest. In each clearing was a village with fields of crops around it. The Maya planted seeds after they cleared the land. A farmer was able to grow crops that produced for several people. But not every Maya had to be a farmer. Some were builders or priests (祭司).
    The Maya believed in many gods. They built large temples to honor them. Skillful workers built cities around these temples. It was difficult because they had to carry all of the building materials themselves. Today, many of these ancient Mayan cities and temples are still standing.
    Although the Maya worked hard to build the beautiful cities, very few of them lived in them. Usually, only the priests lived in the cities. The other people lived in small villages in the forests. Their houses were much simpler. Most Maya lived a simple life close to nature.
    Measuring time correctly was important to the Maya, so Mayan priests made a system to keep track of time. They wrote numbers as dots ( … ) and bars ( — ). They also made a calendar (日历). The year was divided into 18 months of 20 days each with five days left over.
    Around the year 800, the Maya left their villages and beautiful cities, never to return. No one knows why this happened. They may have died from a deadly disease. They may have left because the soil could no longer grow crops. The lost secrets of the Maya are still beyond the reach of modern people. They are still one of our greatest mysteries (神秘).
    小题1:The Maya lived better than most people of their times because _____.
    A．they had skillful workers
    B．they believed in many gods
    C．they knew better about nature
    D．they could measure time correctly
    小题2:It can be inferred from the passage that _____.
    A．the calendar was first invented by the ancient Maya
    B．the ancient Mayan cities and temples were well built
    C．the ancient Mayan people led a happy life in the cities
    D．the priests were not highly respected by the ancient Maya
    小题3:The underlined word “they” in the passage refers to _____.
    A．the Mayan peopleB．the Mayan villages
    C．the Mayan citiesD．the lost secrets of the Maya
    小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A．The Life of the MayaB．The Cities of the Maya

    When TV news programmers report wars or diseases, the editors rarely use the most horrifying pictures of dead or wounded victims because they don’t want to upset their viewers. Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they“may find some of these scenes disturbing”, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenes, the TV cameramen, have no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how unpleasant they may be. As a result, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.
    Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable（不能满足的）demand for TV information. But major broadcaster sand the TV news agencies（部）, such as Reuters and WTN, have never had enough staff（人员）to meet thje worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to freelance（自由职业的）TV cameramen.
    These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelance must survive on his own.
    “TV will always need hard, vivid and moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books.”Explains Nik Cowing, once a foreign editor for Britain’s Channel 4 news and now a BBC news presenter.
    “By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to reduce the risk.”He says.
    小题1:In the last sentence of the first paragraph,“taxing”most probably means“       ”.
    A．depressingB．satisfying
    C．demandingD．encouraging
    小题2:TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to          .
    A．save expense and avoid（避免）risks
    B．buy pictures which are the most stimulating（剌激的）to the senses
    C．look for pictures that are of fine qualities
    D．get first-hand information and pictures
    小题3:The freelance cameramen          .
    A．have better skills than other cameramen
    B．are tied to many TV news agencies
    C．have to take great risks in the course of work
    D．need to reduce risks of work for TV companies
    小题4:It is implied in the passage that        .
    A．TV cameramen have to witness disasters and killings whether they like them or not
    B．TV cameramen are a special group of people who enjoy horrifying pictures
    C．TV cameramen should be given greater choice of work
    D．the development of TV resulted in the growing demand for TV cameramen’s work
    小题5:The main idea of the first paragraph is         .
    A．TV programs are reducing the use of horrible pictures of death and wound
    B．it is a requirement of work for TV cameramen to disregard people’s feelings
    C．it is the duty of TV cameramen to record horrifying scenes
    D．TV cameramen’s job is extremely dangerous and emotionally taxing

    Recently, some concerns have been raised about the health of the world's banana plants. Many media reports have said that bananas may completely disappear in the coming ten years.
    Bananas are one of the world's most important food crops. They are also the fourth most valuable export. Bananas do not grow from seeds. Instead, they grow from existing plants. Bananas are threatened by disease because all the plants on a farm are copies of each other. They all share the same genetic weaknesses.
    For example, the Cavendish banana is most popular in American markets. It is an important export crop. However, some kinds of fungus (真菌) organisms easily infect the Cavendish. Black Sigatoka disease affects the leaves of Cavendish banana plants. The disease is controlled on large farms by putting chemicals on the plant's leaves. Farmers put anti-fungal chemicals on their crops up to once a week.
    Another fungal disease is more serious. Panama disease attacks the roots of the banana plant. There is no chemical treatment for this disease. Infected plants must be destroyed. Panama disease has affected crops in Southeast Asia, Australia and South Africa. There is concern that it may spread to bananas grown in the Americas. This could threaten an important export product for Central and South America.
    The International Network for the Improvement of Banana and Plantain, whose headquarter lies in France, supports research on bananas. The group says that more research must be done to develop improved kinds of bananas.
    The group says that fungal diseases mainly affect only one kind of banana. In fact, there are five-hundred different kinds of bananas. The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization says the Cavendish banana represents only ten percent of world production.
    The UN agency says farmers should grow different kinds of bananas. This protects against diseases that affect only one kind. Experts warn that disease may cause the Cavendish banana to disappear. This has already happened to one popular banana because of its genetic weakness against disease. (words: 335)
    小题1:What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．Bananas are the world’s most important food crops.
    B．There are five hundred different kinds of bananas.
    C．The risk to a popular banana shows need to grow other kinds.
    D．How to grow bananas in different countries.
    小题2:Bananas are threatened by diseases because ___­­­­­­_______.
    A．they have genetic weaknesses against disease.
    B．they are one of the most valuable exports.
    C．the only way to prevent it is to put chemicals on their leaves.
    D．they grow from the seed
    小题3:Panama disease__________.
    A．doesn’t belong to fungal disease.
    B．has spread to bananas in the world.
    C．affects the leaves of banana plants.
    D．destroys the bananas more seriously than Black Sigatoka disease.
    小题4:We can infer from Paragraph 6 that ____________.
    A．the center of the group is in the US.
    B．the key to solving the disease is to research all kinds of bananas.
    C．the Cavendish banana covers only a small part of the output of bananas.
    D．each fungal disease affects five hundred different kinds of bananas.
    小题5:According to the passage, which information is right?
    A．The Cavendish banana can be mainly imported from North America and Europe.
    B．Fungal diseases mainly affect the Cavendish banana.
    C．The Cavendish banana won’t die out in the future.
    D．Panama disease affects the leaves of banana plants.

    Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia’s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile’s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported.
    Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (扑), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater.
