They were the idea of Doctor Ludwig Guttman, a doctor working at Stoke Mandeville hospital in the UK. This famous hospital looks after people who can no longer walk, or cannot move at all. After the Second World War, in 1945, the hospital was full of badly injured soldiers. To give them hope, Dr Guttman started the Paralympics in 1948. They were held at the same time as the London Olympics; doctors gave out the prizes and nurses were employed as referees(裁判). The first official Paralympics took place in Rome in 1960, with 400 athletes from 23 countries competing. By 2004 they had become ten times bigger: nearly 4,000 athletes from 140 countries competed in 19 different sports. The youngest competitor was the 11-year-old swimmer Xu Qingqing from China, the oldest, 66-year-old David Williams, a sailor from Canada. The games were a great success for China, which won 141 medals, 63 of them gold. Britain came second with 94 medals, 35 of them gold. China’s disabled dance team closed the games with a wonderful dance performance. The games were also a success for the organizers. Ever since the failure of the Paralympics in Atlanta, USA, in 1996, the organizers have been nervous of empty seats. But in Australia in 2000, the Paralympics were shown every day on TV and a million tickets were sold. Fifty thousand Australian schoolchildren were in the stadiums for the Sydney Paralympics, shouting and cheering. However pleased they were by the crowds, some of the competitors found this quite difficult. One blind runner said that for the first 800 meters of the 10,000 meter race he could not hear where the other runners were because of the noise. Whatever his feelings about it, he still won a gold; and in Athens 2004 the crowds were even bigger and noisier. When the British team got back to London after the games of 2004, more crowds came to welcome them home. Slowly, the Paralympic athletes are becoming as popular and as famous as the Olympic stars. 6. The idea of the first Paralympics was _______. A. to make the Olympics open to everyone B. to bring hope to injured soldiers C. to encourage disabled people to compete for prizes D. to celebrate the opening of the London Olympics 7. The Paralympic Games in Atlanta were a failure because _______. A. only a few tickets were sold B. they were not shown on TV C. only a few athletes took part D. there was too much noise 8. One runner said the crowds caused a problem because _______. A. he wasn’t used to crowds B. he couldn’t hear the other runners C. he couldn’t hear the referee D. he couldn’t hear his coach’s orders 9.From the passage, we can know that the Paralympics _______. A. are difficult to take place B. are not welcome to crowds C. are getting increasingly popular D. are far less popular than the Summer Olympics. B If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. Because they had not learned to write. Sometimes．Of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call “remembered history”. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful. 10．We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______ A．there was nothing worth being written down at that time B .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record C．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire D．the people there did not know how to write 11.“Remembered history”refers to _____． A．history based on a person‟s imagination B. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth C .songs and dances about the most important events D .both B and C 12．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when _____. A. it is written down B.no written account is available C. it proves to be time D. people are interested in it 13 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _____ . A. kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in wars C. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dances C Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do，and home has become much less of a workshop. Clothes can be bought ready made; washing can go to the laundry; food can be bought; cooked，canned or preserved; bread is baked and delivered by the baker; milk arrives on the doorstep; meats can be had at the restaurant，the work’s canteen，and the school dining-room. It is unusual now for father to pursue his trade or other employment at home，and his children rarely，if ever，see him at his place of work. Boys are therefore seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation，and in many towns they have a fairly wide choice of employment and so do girls. The young wage-earner often earns good money，and soon acquires a feeling of economic independence. In textile areas it has long been customary for mothers to go out to work，but this practice has become so widespread that the working mother is now a not unusual factor in a child’s home life，the number of married women in employment having more than doubled in the last twenty-five years. With mother earning and his older children drawing substantial wages father is seldom the dominant(占主导地位的) figure that he still was at the beginning of the century. When mother works, economic advantages accrue，but children lose something of great value if mother’s employment prevents her from being home to greet them when they return from school. 14.The writer mentions home as workshop because______. A. fathers often pursue employment at home B. parents had to make food and necessity themselves for their daily-life C. many families produce goods at home for sale D. both fathers and mothers and mothers in most families are workers 15.The writer says that home has become much less of a workshop. He means_____. A. in the past, home was more like a workshop B. home is much more of a workshop now C. home-workshops are becoming fewer and fewer D. home was less like a workshop in the past 16. The chief reason that boys are seldom trained to follow their father’s occupation is _____. A. that children nowadays rarely see their fathers at their place of work B. that fathers do not like to pursue employment at home any more C. that there is a wide choice of employment for children D. that children also like to have jobs outside 17. What makes father no longer the only dominant person in a family? ______ A. With their earning，mother and children do not need to depend on father for their life. B. There are many choice of employment for mothers and children. C. Father does much less for his children today than he used to. D. The number of married women in employment has increased greatly now. D In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited . About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way . Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreigners seem all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus . Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding (点头) your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty . In that country, you shake your head to mean 'yes'— a nod means 'no' . At a meal in countries on the Arabic Peninsula, you will find that your glass is repeated refilled as soon as you drink up . If you think that you have had enough , you should take the cup or glasses in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top. In Europe it quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. Doing this in Thailand, however, could bring about trouble . Also, you should try to avoid (避免)touching the head of an adult——it's just not done in Thailand . 18. According to the article, if you want to have a pleasant journey in a foreign country, you should ______. A. learn the language of the country B. understand the manners and customs of the country C. have enough time and money D. make friends with the people there 19. To cross one's legs at an important meeting in Europe is ______. A. a common habit B. an important manner C. a serious trouble D. a bad manner 20. The best title for this article is _______. A. People's Everyday Life B. Mind Your Manners C. Shaking and Nodding Head D. Taking a Bus in England III. 完型填空（共15小题；每题2分，共30分。） 通读下面的短文，掌握其大意。然后，从每小题的四个选项中选出可填入相应空白处的最佳选项。 Nearly everybody enjoys chicken, and the most famous name in chicken is Kentucky Fried Chicken.
