    ¤ 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

    [1] Weeks after his wife died, Rao Pingru started to paint pictures of her. From the first time he saw her putting on makeup in a mirror, to their wedding at which they promised “to love and cherish”, to her lying in bed on her final days – all the images of their nearly 60 – year marriage have been food for his art.
    [2] “ When I create her with brushstrokes, she is there, and our story doesn’t perish,(死亡)” said Rao, 91, a retired military man and former editor. He has filled 18 albums of drawings in the past four years, which he called Our Story.
    [3] At first, the Jiangxi native was only trying to pass time and leave something so his grandchildren could “know about their grandparents” who have been through war, poverty, sickness and, perhaps most importantly, love.
    [4] Rao met Meitang as a blind date when he came back from war in 1946. “ It’s a strange thing. You just have to meet the right person to have that feeling,” he said, thinking of how lovely she was. During their early dates, Rao _________________ “the three words”. Instead, he sang a pop song of the time, Rosemary, I love you, to express his feelings, on a park bench in Nanchang, Jiangxi province.
    [5] The first two years of their marriage was “ the sweetest time” of Rao’s life, as he recalled, in spite of the turbulence following the war. The couple adopted a happy – go – lucky policy wherever they traveled, worked and lived. They managed to escape robbery by hiding their possessions in tires while Rao was working in Guizhou province.

    A private group of scientists has announced plans to make an exact copy of a human being. An American member of the team says he and  the others will soon begin a serious effort to clone humans. Panos Zavos says the team hopes to manufacture the world’s first cloned baby within the next two years.
    In recent years, scientists have produced exact genetic copies of sheep and a few other animals. They created these clones from a single cell of an adult animal.
    Three years ago, another American doctor, Richard Seed, announced plans to clone a human being. However, there is no evidence that he has been successful.
    Doctor Zavos says the new international group plans to offer human cloning only to women who are currently not able to become pregnant or produce children. He says the aim is to assist people who want to have their own biological child.
    The technology would be similar to that used to clone animals. It would involve cleaning genetic material from a woman’s egg. Doctors then would place genetic material from the woman’s husband into the egg before putting it into the woman’s uterus(子宫).
    Doctor Zavos says his group plans to do the work in a country near the Mediterranean Sea. He did not name the country. He says an Italian reproductive expert, Sevorino Antinori, is leading the team. Doctor Antinori has led the efforts to help many older women become pregnant. He is known for establishing pregnancies in women as old as sixty.
    Many medical experts and other groups are opposed to the idea of cloning humans. Several countries ban or restrict work on human cloning. Several doctors criticize the announcement by Doctor Zavos. They say doctors do not know if cloning humans is possible or safe. They say it would be irresponsible to attempt to clone a human being. That is because the chances of success are too small and the risks are too great.
    小题1:The underlined word “manufacture” in the first paragraph  means “_________”.
    A．produceB．opposeC．attemptD．experiment
    小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A．In theory, scientists are unlikely to clone humans.
    B．Richard Seed has fallen behind other scientists in cloning humans.
    C．Cloning human beings is good for men.
    D．People have different ideas about cloning humans.
    小题3:How do many medical experts and other groups like the idea of cloning humans？
    A．They are in favour of the idea.
    B．They are against the idea.
    C．They have an optimistic attitude to the idea.
    D．They think it is none of their business.

    The long, lonely voyage of the Japanese ghost ship is over．

    A US Coast Guard cutter poured cannon fire into an abandoned Japanese ghost ship that had been drifting since last year’s tsunami, sinking the vessel into waters more than 305 meters deep in the Gulf of Alaska and removing the danger it posed to shipping and the coastline on Thursday．
    The cutter’s guns tore holes in the 164-foot Ryou-Un Maru, and then it began to take on water and lean to one side． In about four hours, the ship disappeared into the sea, said Chief Petty Officer Kip Wadlow．
    The ship had no lights or communications system, and its tank was able to carry more than 7,570 liters of diesel fuel． Officials, however, didn’t know exactly how much fuel was aboard．
    “It’s less risky than it would be running into shore or running into other ships,” coast guard spokesman Paul Webb said．
    The US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency studied the problem and decided it is safer to sink the ship than let the fuel evaporate and pollute the sea environment．
    Ryou-Un Maru was probably among the first wave of the 1．5 million tons of garbage of refrigerators, washing machines, televisions, roofs and fishing nets heading toward North America since last March when a magnitude-9．0 earthquake struck Japan．
    As the coast guard was ready to fire on the vessel, a Canadian fishing vessel, the 19-meter Bernice C, claimed the rights to save the ghost ship in international waters．
    Plans to sink it were paused so the Canadian crew could have a chance to take the stricken ship． A Canadian official with knowledge of the situation told the Associated Press that the Bernice C was unable to drag it．
    Then the Canadian boat left, and once it was about 10 kilometers from the Japanese vessel, the Coast Guard began to fire, first with 25 mm shells, then a few hours later with ammunition twice that size．
    State officials have been working to test the danger of garbage including materials affected by a damaged nuclear power plant, to see if Alaska residents, seafood or wild animals could be affected．
    小题1:Which of the following is NOT the reason for sinking the Japanese ship?
    A．It had no lights or communications system.
    B．It might be washed up onto the shore．
    C．It was a danger to other passing ships．
    D．The oil it carried could pollute the sea．
    小题2:The plan to fire on the Japanese ghost ship was paused because ____________．
    A．the ghost ship was beyond the reach of the Coast Guard’s guns
    B．the shells were not powerful enough to sink the ghost ship
    C．state officials worried the ghost ship might give out radiation
    D．a Canadian fishing boat wanted to save the ghost ship
    小题3:Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
    A．Japanese ghost ship arriving at US
    B．Tsunami garbage heading to US
    C．Cannon fire sinking Japanese ghost ship
    D．Japanese ghost ship polluting the Pacific

    According to a recent report, some once-hot majors like English, Computer and Law for Chinese students entering college have now fallen out of favor. The reason is that more graduates studying in those fields end up    1  .
    This year, a sample of 500,000 college    2   from 2009 were surveyed and 220,000 questionnaires were received back for the 2010 report. Among the   3   
    majors, Law graduates had the most difficulty finding jobs, with the   4   
    unemployment rate(比率) of 17.7% of all the majors in 2009. English majors had the highest    5   of the unemployed for three years, with 15,700 graduates still out of work.
    “Such majors as Computer, English and Law were the most    6   ones for Beijing students entering universities in 2005, but now these graduates are in a tight corner,” said Ba ran, a senior counselor（顾问）at a well-known company. Ba said that the expansion（扩大）of college enrollment（注册）for those hot majors five years ago has    7   an over-supply in the market, making it harder for those graduates to find jobs.
    On the other side, engineering graduates majoring in Geological Engineering, Ship and Marine Engineering are    8   most in the job market. Engineering majors are more practical in professional skills and work experience, which are favored by many    9  . The graduates are thus armed with a competitive    10   in the cruel job market.
    The report    11   a system should be set up against majors with a high risk of    12  . Undergraduates studying Law or English are encouraged to change their    13   or obtain a second degree. For some colleges and provinces with   14   employment rates, the report advised a（n）   15   in enrollment numbers or even a temporary (暂时的) stop in enrolling students.

    Thousands of people living in the Chinese capital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮).     
    Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increase. There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr. Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years, ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.
    Beijing’s skiing craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private (私有的) cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs (郊区), which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei, about 40% of the visitors to his resort come in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.  
    The problem is making money. Starting ski resorts requires quite a lot of money; hiring land from the local government, preparing the hills, buying snow machines, making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them, and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.
    The ski resort where Mr. Wei works cost nearly $4 million to set up. And as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea, many others rush in and price wars break out. Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world, though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.
    小题1:What does this text mainly talk about?
    A．Convenience for skiers brought about by private cars.
    B．Skiing as a new way of enjoying one's spare time.
    C．Things to be considered when starting a ski resort.
    D．A sudden increase of ski training classes in Beijing.
    小题2:Why are some Chinese likely to go skiing in Europe?
    A．To visit more ski areas.
    B．To ski on natural snow.
    C．For a large collection of ski suits.
    D．For better services and equipment.
    小题3:The underlined words “leisure industry” in Paragraph 3 refer to         
    A．transport to ski resorts
    B．production of family cars
    C．business of providing spare time enjoyments
    D．part-time work for people living in the suburbs
    小题4:What is the main problem in running a ski resort?
    A．Difficulty in hiring land．
    B．Lack of business experience．
    C．Price wars with other ski resorts
    D．Shortage of water and electricity.

    Several recent studies have found that being randomly (随机地) assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood (可能性) of conflict.
    Recent reports found that lodging with a student of a different race may decrease prejudice and force students to engage in more ethnically diverse friendships.
    An Ohio State University study also found that black students living with a white roommate saw higher academic success throughout their college careers. Researchers believe this may be caused by social pressure.
    In a New York Times article, Sam Boakye – the only black student on his freshman year floor -said that "if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove."
    Researchers also observed problems resulting from pairing interracial students in residences.
    According to two recent studies, randomly assigned roommates of different races are more likely to experience conflicts so strained that one roommate will move out.
    An Indiana University study found that interracial roommates were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together by the end of the semester.
    Grace Kao, a professor at Penn said she was not surprised by the findings. "This may be the first time that some of these students have interacted, and lived, with someone of a different race," she said.
    At Penn, students are not asked to indicate race when applying for housing.
    "One of the great things about freshman housing is that, with some exceptions, the process throws you together randomly," said Undergraduate Assembly chairman Alec Webley. "This is the definition of integration."
    "I've experienced roommate conflicts between interracial students that have both broken down stereotypes(模式化形象) and strengthened stereotypes," said one Penn resident advisor (RA). The RA of two years added that while some conflicts "provided more multicultural acceptance and melding (融合)," there were also "jarring cultural resistance."
    The RA said that these conflicts have also occurred among roommates of the same race.
    Kao said she cautions against forming any generalizations based on any one of the studies, noting that more background characteristics of the students need to be studied and explained.
    小题1:What can we learn from some recent studies?
    A．Conflicts between students of different races are unavoidable.
    B．Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes.
    C．Students of different races are prejudiced against each other.
    D．Interracial lodging does more harm than good.
    小题2:What does the Indiana University study show?
    A．Few white students like sharing a room with a black peer.
    B．Roommates of different races just don't get along.
    C．Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out.
    D．Assigning students' lodging randomly is not a good policy.
    小题3:What does Alec Webley consider to be the "definition of integration"?
    A．The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race.
    B．Students of different races are required to share a room.
    C．Interracial lodging is arranged by the school for freshmen.
    D．Lodging is assigned to students of different races without exception.
    小题4:What can be inferred from Grace Kao’s saying about interracial lodging?
    A．Schools should be cautious when making decisions about student lodging.
    B．Students' racial background should be considered before lodging is assigned.
    C．Experienced resident advisors should be assigned to handle the problems.
    D．It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.

    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.
    小题1:In the competition of Olympic weightlifting，athletes need to be all of the following EXCEPT________.
    A．the right ageB．the right height
    C．the right weightD．the right strength

    A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题3:According to the fourth paragraph，________.
    A．men often do better than women in weightlifting
    B．women need to use different training techniques from men
    C．men can learn the training techniques better than women
    D．women used not to be allowed to compete in Olympic weightlifting
    小题4:According to the passage，many athletes began to practice weightlifting because they  wanted to________.
    A．take part in the Olympics
    B．get a reward in the competition
    C．strengthen their body power
