It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932. Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner. Olympic motto:Citius, altius, fortius is a Latin phrase meaning swifter, higher, stronger, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris.Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.Olympic oath(宣誓)In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams. Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording. 56. The Olympic flame was first burned at _ in modern times. A. the 1920 Games B. the 1924 Games C. the 1932 Games D. the 1936 Games57. From the passage we can learn _. A. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games B. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games D. The Olympic torch has burned since 192458. Which of the following is true? A. There was no athletes oath in the 1896 Olympic Games. B. The 1920 Olympic games was held in Amsterdam. C. The judge from the host country takes the same oath as the athletes does. D. Dideon wrote Citius, Altius, Fortius for the Olympic Games.59. We can infer that _. A. The Olympic flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympus and relay to all the countries in the world. B. The flame is lit by the gas from the earth. C. Since 1952, all the host country should light the flame in Greece and then relay back. D. The flame is the symbol of light.BFootball has a brand new prince. The young Portuguese wizard Christian Ronaldo scored two goals to help his team beat Aston Villa 3-0 on December 23. The win helped Manchester United to the top of the Premier League (英超联赛).The boy is playing really well, said club manager Alex Ferguson. He played with great strength and courage.Ronaldo, only 21, has already achieved a lot. He grew up poor, but in the knowledge that he has great talent 1. By the time he was 12 years old, Ronaldo was already the best player of his hometown.After starting out on his local team, he decided it was time to move on to one of the big Portuguese clubs. Although many teams wanted to sign the young man, Ronaldo joined the club that he followed as a youngster: Sporting Lisbon. However, he knew he would not stop there. Finally in 2003, he made it to the top of the football world when he joined Manchester United for US$20 million, a world record fee for a teenager.Like David Beckham before him, Ronaldo wears the No 7 shirt for United. The No 7 shirt is a great responsibility. I hope it brings me a lot of luck, he said. Lots of young players have succeeded at United, so why shouldnt it happen to me? I may be young but Im full of confidence.While Ronaldo is famous for his long, speedy runs, he is sometimes accused of being selfish, football, after all, is a team game. He also sometimes has problems with his temper. He was sent off in a 2005 game for making a rude sign.Ronaldo was a favourite for the FIFA Young Player award for his performance at the World Cup. However, trying to get Wayne Rooney sent off in the quarter-final (四分之一决赛) against England didnt make him any friends.2 This is a young man with great talent but a questionable attitude, said British sports-writer Larry Tucker.60.Which of the following is in the right order?a. helped his team beat Aston Villa 3-0b. became the best player of a local teamc. signed with Manchester Unitedd. joined Sporting LisbonA. abcd B. bdca C. cbad D. dacb61.

Ronaldos achievements and his characterCTHREE chocolate pies, two cheesecakes and vanilla (香草) ice-cream.The New Year holidays bring delicious food, but no one wants a weight problem after they are over.American Food psychologist (心理学家) Brian Wansink has recently published Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think. The book explains why we eat what we eat and how we can control our eating.Most of his suggestions are based on scientific studies he has conducted as director of Cornell Universitys Food and Brand Lab.Here are 10 of his tips for the holiday season: People tend to eat more when distracted (分心) by conversation or a game on TV. Setting your chopsticks down and giving full attention to the conversation will prevent overeating. See it before you eat it. Eating chips from a bowl led one group to consume 134 fewer calories than others who ate straight from the bag. Keep the evidence on the table, such as chicken bones, cake papers, and candy wrappers (糖纸). Studies have shown that leaving the wrappers and remains of food on the table leads diners to eat less. Budget calories. Do not eat the appetizer (开胃菜) if you know you want dessert. It will be easier to count how many calories you consume. Sit next to the slowest eater at the table and try to eat slower than him or her. Always be the last one to start eating, and set your chopsticks down after every bite. Dont avoid the food you really want, but eat it in smaller portions (份量). The more variety, the more people will eat.1 When there are a smaller number of dishes on the table people eat less. Put foods that are unhealthy in the back of the cupboard (橱柜), the back of the refrigerator, the back of the freezer. You can also hide food that is bad for you. Office workers ate 23 percent less candy when it was in a white, covered candy dish than in a see-through one. Use small bowls. A study found that people serving themselves from smaller bowls ate 59 per cent less. Use tall, narrow glasses for drinks. Even experienced waiters poured more into short, wide glasses than into thin ones.64. The food mentioned in first paragraph was _.A. chosen without a purposeB. delicious but high in caloriesC. great snack for summerD. what we should avoid eating65. The book was written mainly to _.A. explain why we eat and how to control our eatingB. point out that we need to eat with a clear mindC. give useful suggestions based on his researchD. remind us of eating problems that occur during the holidays66. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Giving full attention to your conversation can help you eat less.B. It is not a good idea to eat the appetizer if you want dessert.C. At the sight of large amounts of food, diners usually tend to eat bigger portions.D. Leaving some food on the table may spoil a diners desire to eat more.DBears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to peoples food, problems soon arise.Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch wont help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.67. Feeding bears on peoples food .Abrings the people a lot of fun Bcan cause problemsCoften causes injuries and deaths Dhelps bears survive68. If people had never fed bears, the bears .Amight be satisfied with what they had originallyBwould have starved long before Cwouldnt have enough food supplyDwould have hunted for other kind of food69. Which of the following is TRUE?AIf fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects .BIts likely that bears would hurt people if the people didnt give up their food. CMost people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food.DSeeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it. 70. Bear-proof containers didnt work because .Abears were clever enough to get the food in themBthey were left open in the open airCpeople were not sure of their useDthey were once used as rubbish cans 第四部分： 任务型阅读(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分) We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把按能力分班)pupils. It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade! Besides, it is rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect for their total personality.We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.In our classrooms, we work in various ways. The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. They also learn how to cope with personal problems as well as learning how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate effectively. The pupils learn from each other as well as from the teacher.Sometimes the pupils work in pairs; sometimes they work on individual tasks and assignments, and they can do this at their own speed. They also have some formal class teaching when this is appropriate. We encourage our pupils to use the library, and we teach them the skills they need in order to do this efficiently. An advanced pupil can do advanced work: it does not matter what age the child is. We expect our pupils to do their best, not their least, and we give them every encouragement to attain this goal.Develop the abilities of pupils: develop their full abilities, not their 1. _value personal qualities2._ pupils-streamed teaching (disadvantages)3._ teaching (advantages) not 4._ the fact that children develop at different rates have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child 5._ the pupils who are at the bottom of the top grade rather unreal to grade people just according to their intellectual ability only one aspect for pupils total personality 6._ pupils full abilities. give them the opportunity to learn to cooperate, to share, and to develop 7. _ learn how to cope with 8._ learn how to think, to make decisions, to analyze and evaluate, and to communicate 9._.The pupils learn from each other 10._ from the teacher.
