(时间：100分钟　满分：120分) 第一部分　阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Olympic host cities are generally considered to be equipped with advanced technology and expensive facilities.Now，people can just go there for a little Olympic-level entertainment. Athens，Greece (1896 and 2004) Home to the first modern Olympic Games in 1896，Athens' history of the Olympic tradition dates back several thousand years.Every four years，the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens before beginning its long journey to the new host city.Visitors can walk through the Olympic Velodrome in the Olympic Sports Complex and step back in time at the 50，000-seat stadium. Barcelona，Spain(1992) These days Barcelona is among the world's most visitable cities even without Olympic fame，but that isn't always the case.The telecommunications tower built for the games by Spanish architect Calatrava is also an iconic(图像的) device of the city's skyline，and its Olympics stadium—Montjuic Stadium is regularly used to host A-list musical performances like The Rolling Stones，Madonna，and Beyonce. St Moritz，Switzerland (1928 and 1948) Appropriately，the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice，and continues to make use of its many sports facilities—if you can afford to get there.Stay at the Kulm Hotel for the easiest access to the Kulm Country Club，where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians，or test your courage on the Olympia Bob Run，one of the few places where you can ride a full-speed Olympic bobsled(双人雪橇) on a run constructed entirely of ice. Sydney，Australia (2000) The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the “Green Games” by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event.The structure that best shows Sydney's efforts to be an example of continuing Olympic development is the ANZ Stadium. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。短文介绍了几个奥运会举办城市：希腊雅典、西班牙巴塞罗那、瑞士圣莫里茨、澳大利亚悉尼的各自的特色。 1．Where does the host city get the Olympic torch lit? A．At the Panathenaic Stadium. B．At the Olympic Sports Complex. C．At the Montjuic Stadium. D．At the ANZ Stadium. 解析　细节理解题。根据第二段“Every four years，the Olympic torch is lit at the Panathenaic Stadium in Athens”可知，每四年，奥运火炬在雅典的帕纳辛纳克体育场点燃。结合选项，故选A。 答案　A 2．Who will probably choose to visit St Moritz? A．Those fond of ice-sports. B．Those fond of listening to opera. C．Those interested in popular music. D．Those interested in Olympic history. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段“the town that invented Alpine tourism has hosted the Winter Olympics twice”可知，圣莫里茨已经举办了两届冬奥会，以及“where guests can skate on the same lake used by mid-century Olympians”可知，在那里，游客能够在中世纪奥运会选手使用过的同一个湖上滑冰，因此，喜欢冰上运动的人可能会选择圣莫里茨。结合选项，故选A。 答案　A 3．What's special about Sydney Olympic Games? A．Their designers are from Spain. B．They are thought poorly of by the IOC. C．They are hosted in an environmentally friendly way. D．Their design intention is proposed by Sydney authority. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段“The turn-of-the-century Sydney Summer Olympics were named the ‘Green Games’ by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)”可知悉尼夏季奥运会被国际奥委会命名为绿色奥运会，以及“were designed to introduce a more environmentally conscious way of hosting the event”可知，它被设计成旨在引入一种更环保的主办方式，结合选项，故选C。 答案　C B Jim Thorpe is one of the greatest athletes of all time.He had amazing athletic abilities and was well-known during his lifetime，yet that did not make Thorpe a stranger to misfortune． Thorpe was an American Indian from Oklahoma who developed his extraordinary athletic skills in his youth through hard labor.It was also in his youth that he learned to endure hardship brought upon him by racial prejudice.Many would say his childhood was not easy.He grew up poor and age 9 his twin brother passed away and a few years later he lost both of his parents. But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.Just hours before Thorpe was going to compete in the 1912 Olympics，somebody stole his shoes.Thorpe improvised(临时拼凑)by getting shoes out of the garbage.The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out. He still went on to win two gold medals—winning each event he competed in except for one，the javelin(掷标枪项目).The javelin was the only event he didn't win，probably because he had never competed in that event before.It is interesting to note that Thorpe had tried to throw the javelin once before in the Olympic trials.At the time，he didn't know that he could throw it with a running start.He threw it standing still and was placed second. At the Olympics，he also took part in the decathlon(十项全能运动).He finished first in two events，third in four events，and fourth in two more.Thorpe ended up finishing third in the world.He was undoubtedly a dominating force that couldn't be stopped and just kept on going. I think Paul Dughi said it best，“It's hard to imagine now that professional athletes get paid millions of dollars just to wear a particular brand of shoes.For Jim Thorpe，it didn't matter what kind he wore.” [语篇解读]　 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了美国运动员Jim Thorpe坎坷的人生经历和他作为运动员所取得的骄人成绩。 4．What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 1 mean? A．Thorpe's success was no guarantee of a better life. B．Thorpe's career brought him both gains and losses. C．Thorpe suffered many hardships despite his success. D．The difficult situation Thorpe got into led to his success. 解析　句义猜测题。根据第二段内容可知，Thorpe经历了很多苦难：幼年时双胞胎兄弟过世，随后父母双亡，青年时又困扰于种族歧视带来的磨难。由画线句前面的yet 表转折意义可知，这里想表达的是虽然 Thorpe后来有所成就，但却经历了很多苦难，故选 C。 答案　C 5．Why did Thorpe wear more socks on one foot? A．To prevent the foot from injury. B．To make the shoe fit the foot. C．To stop the shoe from being stolen. D．To show his problem-solving skills. 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The shoes were two different sizes.He wore an extra pair of socks on one foot to even them out.”可知，Thorpe临时找来的两只鞋尺码大小不一，因此他多穿袜子就是为了让鞋合脚，故选 B。 答案　B 6．What most likely led to Thorpe's failure to win the javelin? A．Loss of his own sport shoes. B．Lack of experience in the event. C．A shortage of talent for the event. D．A casual attitude towards the event. 解析　细节理解题。根据第四段中的“probably because he had never competed in that event before”可知，他没有参加过标枪比赛，因此比赛经验不足最可能是他失利的原因，故选 B。 答案　B 7．Which of the following words can best describe Jim Thorpe? A．Genuine and creative. B．Loyal and enthusiatic. C．Tough and strong-minded. D．Selfless and good-tempered. 解析　推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知，Jim Thorpe 在成长过程中经历过很多苦难，这很大程度上塑造了他坚韧不拔的性格。第三段中的“But that did not stop him from doing what he loved and pursuing his dreams.Nothing seemed to stop him，not even stolen shoes.”正是对他坚韧不拔性格的刻画。由此可知，tough(坚强的)和 strong-minded(意志坚定的)是对他最准确的描述，故选 C。 答案　C C “We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，” says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria.“Maybe they think，‘This person has the same knowledge as me，but is giving me the wrong information.’ It's possible that they could see that as lying.” Once that trust was established，the team had the dogs see another person move the food from the first to the second bowl.The communicators (交流者) were either in the room，and also saw the switch (转移)，or were briefly absent and so apparently unaware that the food had been switched.In either case，the communicators would later recommend the first bowl，which was now empty. In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5，the participants reacted in particular ways.They would typically ignore the communicator who gave honest but misleading advice on where the food was.However，if the communicator had been in the room and seen the switch，but still recommended the first (now empty) bowl，young children were actually much more likely to follow the communicator's knowingly misleading suggestion. This may be because the children trusted the communicator over the evidence of their own eyes，says Huber. The dogs in the new experiment，however，weren't so trusting of lying communicators，much to the researchers' surprise，says Huber.Half of the dogs would follow the communicator's misleading advice if the communicator hadn't seen the food switch.But only one-third of dogs followed the communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl.These dogs simply went to the bowl filled with food instead.“They did not rely on the communicator anymore，” says Huber. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项实验，该实验表明狗的聪明程度超出人们的想象。 8．What do Huber's words in paragraph 1 show? A．Dogs won't believe people any longer. B．We can train dogs to act like children. C．Dogs are a lot cleverer than we thought. D．Humans often treat dogs as friends. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，’ says Huber at the University of Vienna in Austria.”可知，我们原以为狗的行为会像5岁以下的孩子一样，但是现在Huber猜测也许当某个人不诚实时，狗会知道。由此可推知，Huber的话表明狗比我们所认为的要聪明得多。故选C。 答案　C 9．What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A．The communicator's suggestion. B．The dogs' reaction in the experiment. C．The communicator's purpose. D．The children's reaction in the experiment. 解析　段落大意题。根据第三段的第一句“In previous versions of this experiment with children under age 5，the participants reacted in particular ways.”可知，本段主要介绍5岁以下小孩在类似实验中的反应。故选D。 答案　D 10．Who would the dogs more likely trust according to the last paragraph? A．The one who didn't see the food switch. B．The one who moved the food. C．The one who recommended the wrong bowl. D．The one who saw the food switch. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“Half of the dogs would follow the communicator's misleading advice if the communicator hadn't seen the food switch.But only one-third of dogs followed the communicator who had seen the food switch and still recommended the now-empty bowl.”可知，如果交流者没有看到食物的转移，一半的狗会听从交流者误导性的建议。而只有三分之一的狗会听从那些看到食物被转移的人，由此可知，当食物被转移后，狗更可能会信任那些没有看到食物被转移的人。故选A。 答案　A 11．What can we conclude from the passage? A．Dogs are cleverer than children under age 5. B．Dogs can sometimes tell when people are lying. C．We can train dogs to find food in different ways. D．We should be honest like dogs. 解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘We thought dogs would behave like children under age 5，but now we guess that perhaps dogs can understand when someone is dishonest，’”以及最后一段的“The dogs in the new experiment，however，weren't so trusting of lying communicators，much to the researchers' surprise，says Huber.”可知，本文主要介绍了当人在撒谎时，狗能够识别出来。故选B。 答案　B D A famous diver was defeated by his competitor in the final of a world championship，offering congratulations to the winner and waving a tearful goodbye to the audience. It is common in the athletic world.Sportsmen spend the best part of their lives on hard training and competitions.When it becomes evident that they are on the decline，they still make great efforts to give their best so as to bring a satisfactory end to their career.They need to have steely nerve to face the intense competition and the pressure of possible defeat. Chances to compete for the championship are few and far between.Life is short.Still shorter is the time for an athlete trying to win games.An athletic contestant really feels that there are so few opportunities and time flies.He treasures every minute，makes full use of it and tries to grasp any chance coming his way.He gets as much as he gives，winning honors not only for himself but also for his country. To participate and to win—that is the sports spirit.It finds expression in the weak having the courage to challenge the strong，and the strong searching forever better performance.Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.He will do everything he can for it，never relax and never give up.It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated—even the best is bound to be defeated by someone still stronger.This is the rule of sports—thousands of losers set off one winner who in turn will eventually be replaced by someone on the honor list.However，he is always trying to do the best he can.When the time comes and he knows he can't，he will step down happily to give place to the younger winner，aware contentedly of the fact that he has done his best for the “ever better” records of the Olympic Games.He will say proudly that he has not lived his youth in vain. [语篇解读]　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动员在职业生涯中不懈追求的精神。 12．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To explain a phenomenon. B．To describe a competition. C．To introduce the topic of this passage. D．To express worries about sportsmen. 解析　推理判断题。第一段讲述了一位著名跳水运动员在世界锦标赛决赛中被击败后向获胜者祝贺并向观众挥手告别，这引出了下文关于运动员在体育世界中的种种经历、运动精神等内容，起到了引出文章主题的作用。故选C。 答案　C 13．According to the passage，what kind of ideal pushes an athlete forward? A．He wants to win people's respect. B．He wants to win honor for his nation. C．He wants to make greater achievements than ever. D．He wants to earn more and more money and fame. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Ever better—the ideal always makes a sportsman forward.”可知，推动运动员前进的理想是他想取得比以往更大的成就。故选C。 答案　C 14．What can be learnt from the rule of sports according to the passage? A．Whatever difficulties you have met，never give up. B．Even the strongest athlete will be defeated one day. C．You can't live in the sports field without any effort or progress. D．You are the winner if you are brave enough to challenge the strong. 解析　细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It is said that none of the competitors can avoid being defeated...be replaced by someone on the honor list.”可知，我们可以从体育运动的规律中了解到即使是最强的运动员也有被打败的一天。故选B。 答案　B 15．What is the passage mainly about? A．Sportsmen's spirit. B．Sportsmen's life. C．Sportsmen's honor. D．Sportsmen's pride. 解析　主旨大意题。分析各段段意可知，文章整体围绕运动员的体育精神展开，而非单纯介绍其生涯、荣誉或骄傲，故选A。 答案　A 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 All over the world people are hooked on sports，which help them to strengthen their body and build their character. 16 They improve the participants' physical skills，and provide entertainment for the audience as well.

We had all kinds of traditional events this time，during which three boys from my class and I took part in the 4×100-metre relay race.At first，we were in the front.Unfortunately，I fell down when I took the stick from another boy.Although I stood up and kept on running，we were the last to reach the finishing line.All the audience still cheered loudly for me because I didn't give up. Do you often take part in the sports meeting at your school? Please write and share with me. Yours， Li Hua 第二节(满分25分) 阅读下面的材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The prize may go to the fastest，but sometimes，the first one to cross the finish line isn't the only winner.Nowhere was that more true than at a 5K invitational (邀请赛) in Shelbyville，Indiana. There were two players in the match：Levi LaGrange and Axel Aleman，who hadn't known each other before.Levi LaGrange，a 16-year-old student from Western Boone Junior-Senior High School，has been expecting to be a professional sportsman for many years.Axel Aleman，who is from Sheridan High School，is a friendly and generous person and is always more concerned about others than himself.Axel once said to his classmates，“When you are standing at a crossroad，you can choose the path of self-interest，or you can go the extra mile for someone in need.As a teen athlete，the choice is extremely clear.” The game went very well at first.However，with less than half a mile to go，Levi slipped，twisting (扭伤) his ankle.He said，“I was running up the little rolling hill and I hurt my ankle.I felt something was wrong with my ankle.” Levi stopped and signed to Axel to pass him.Generally，winning a match should be the mission for a sportsman.But at that moment，the race became a secondary concern for Axel.“I was able to see he was in a lot of pain，”Axel recalled.
