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 necessities themselves for their daily life C. many families produce goods at home for sale D both fathers 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 choices 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 repeatedly 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 is 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.

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. 【答案】6. B 7. A 8. B 9. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。这篇文章主要介绍了残奥会的起源和发展历程。此外，文章还描述了残奥会从早期的困境（如1996年亚特兰大残奥会的失败）到逐渐受到欢迎（如2000年悉尼残奥会）的转变，以及残奥会运动员日益受到关注和喜爱的趋势。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“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.(第二次世界大战后，斯托克·曼德维尔医院里到处都是严重受伤的士兵。为了给他们带来希望，古特曼医生于1948年创办了残奥会。)”可知，因此，举办第一届残奥会的想法是为了给受伤的士兵带来希望。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“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.(对于组织者来说，这些比赛也是一次成功。自从1996年美国亚特兰大残奥会失败以来，组织者们一直担心（场馆）会出现空位。)”可知，1996年在美国亚特兰大举行的残奥会是一次失败，因为场馆座位空置，门票销售不佳。因此，亚特兰大残奥会失败的原因是门票销售不佳。故选A项。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“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.(一位盲人跑步运动员说，在10000米赛跑的前800米，由于噪音太大，他听不到其他运动员的位置。)”可知，人群带来的问题是这位盲人跑步运动员听不到其他运动员的位置。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“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.(但2000年在澳大利亚，残奥会每天都通过电视播出，售出了100万张门票。5万名澳大利亚小学生来到悉尼残奥会的体育场，欢呼雀跃)”以及“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.(并且在2004年的雅典，观众规模更大，喧闹声也更响。2004年比赛结束后，当英国队回到伦敦时，更多的民众前来欢迎他们回家。慢慢地，残奥会运动员正变得和奥运明星一样受欢迎和有名。)”可知，2000年在澳大利亚悉尼举行的残奥会取得了成功，每天在电视上播出，售出了100万张门票，5万名澳大利亚小学生到现场观看并欢呼。残奥会运动员正在逐渐变得和奥运会明星一样受欢迎和著名。因此，我们可以知道残奥会正在变得越来越受欢迎。故选C项。 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 【答案】10. D 11. D 12. B 13. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了书面记录对保存历史的重要性，并指出“记忆中的历史”在缺乏文字记录时的补充作用。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. Because they had not learned to write.(但我们对200年前生活在中非的人们几乎一无所知。因为他们还没学会写字)”可知，我们对200年前的中非所知甚少，因为那里的人还没有掌握书写技能。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“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”.(他们从年长的人那里听说过，通常还会把最重要的事件编成歌曲、舞蹈和故事，这些歌曲、舞蹈和故事被传唱、表演和讲述给许多代人。因为大多数人都很自豪地告诉别人他们的父辈过去做了什么。我们可以称之为“记忆中的历史”)”可知，“记忆中的历史”既包括口耳相传的重要事件故事，也包括为这些事件创作的歌曲、舞蹈。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.(但在没有书面记录的地方，这样的口头故事往往很有帮助)”可知，只有在没有书面记载的情况下，“记忆中的历史”才被认为是有价值的。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“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.(如果有人问我们一年前到底在做什么，我们可能会说我们不记得了。但是如果我们有一个本子，把我们每天做的事情写下来，我们就能给出这个问题的答案)”及第二段中的“It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them.(历史上也是如此，许多事情被遗忘了，因为我们没有任何关于它们的书面记录)”可知，文章主要强调了“书面记录”对保存历史的关键作用，许多历史被遗忘是因为缺乏书面记载。由此推知，如果古人把过去的每一件事都记录下来，我们就能比现在更多地了解我们的过去。故选A。 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 necessities themselves for their daily life C. many families produce goods at home for sale D. both fathers 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 choices 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. 【答案】14 B 15. A 16. C 17. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述如今父母为孩子做事减少，家庭不再像作坊；父亲少在家工作，子女就业选择多，母亲外出工作普遍，父亲不再是家庭主导。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“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.(如今父母为孩子做的事比过去少得多，家庭也不再那么像一个作坊了。衣服可以买到现成的；洗衣服可以去洗衣房；食物可以买到；煮熟、罐装或腌制；面包由面包师烘烤和送来；牛奶送到了门口；肉类可以在餐厅、工作餐厅和学校餐厅享用。)”可知，过去家庭像“作坊”是因为父母需要亲手制作衣物、食物等日常生活必需品，而现在这些都能外购。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Parents have to do much less for their children today than they used to do, and home has become much less of a workshop.(如今父母为孩子做的事比过去少得多，家庭也不再那么像一个作坊了。)”可知，“home has become much less of a workshop”意为“家庭不像作坊的程度比过去高”，即“过去家庭更像一个作坊”。故选A项。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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.(因此，男孩很少被培养去从事父亲的职业，而且在许多城镇，他们有相当广泛的就业选择，女孩也是如此。)”可知，男孩很少继承父业的主要原因是他们有更多的就业选择。故选C项。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“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. (由于母亲有收入，大一点的孩子也能挣不少工资，父亲不再像本世纪初那样是家庭中占主导地位的人物了。)”可知，母亲和孩子有了收入，不再依赖父亲生活，这使得父亲不再是家庭中唯一的主导者。故选A项。 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 repeatedly 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 is 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 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章主要讲的是国家不同，习俗不同，所以如果想在异国他乡度过一段愉快的旅程，我们要入乡随俗。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“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.(学习一个国家的语言是不够的。如果你想有一次愉快的旅行，尽可能多地了解东道国的风俗习惯。)”可知，如果你想在国外有一次愉快的旅行，你应该了解那个国家的风俗习惯。故选B项。 【19题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when you are sitting talking to someone even at an important meeting. (在欧洲，即使是在一个重要的会议上，当你坐着和别人谈话时，跷二郎腿也是很常见的。)”可知，在欧洲的重要会议上，跷二郎腿是一种常见的习惯。故选A项。 【20题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章第一段通过一个具体事例告诉我们入乡随俗的重要性，文章第二段“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.(学习一个国家的语言是不够的。如果你想有一次愉快的访问，尽可能多地了解东道国的风俗习惯。)”提出要尽可能多地了解东道国的风俗习惯这个话题，另外文章二、三、四段介绍了不同的国家有不同的风俗习惯，因此文章主要是围绕着不同国家有不同的习俗，所以我们要入乡随俗来展开，B项“Mind Your Manners(注意你的行为举止)”概括了文章的主要内容，作为文章标题最合适。故选B项。 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.
