Before this global sporting event, we started thinking about sports that didnt exist any more and sports that were maybe a little strange. Read the following ones that have ever been included in the past Olympic Games.Live Pigeon Shooting (1900)This bloody event was only held once, at the 1900 Paris Games. Nearly 300 birds were killed during the competition, leaving a crime scene of feathers and blood. This is the only event in Olympic history that involved killing live animals.Kabaddi (1936)This sport is popular in South Asia. The object is for one member of a team to enter the other sides half of the field, and score points. The attacker then returns to his half of the field.12 Hour Bicycle Race (1896)Seven riders got on their bikes at 5 a.m. and rode until 5 p.m. Four riders dropped out before noon, but the winner, Adolf Schmal of Austria, managed about 180 miles. Only Schmal and one other finished.Tug of War (19001920)This may seem like a basic PE class sport more than an Olympic event, but Tug of War was actually one of the first sports played at the Olympic games in 500 BC.There are two teams of eight; the winning team must pull the other team six feet forward.Swimming Obstacle Race (1900)The athletes had to climb over a pole (杆子) and a row of boats, and then swim under another row of boats. All of this was done in the Seine River, so they also had to fight against the water. This event was only ever held in 1900, in Paris.（1）What do you probably think of these events? A . Strange.B . Fantastic.C . Modern.D . Interesting.（2）Which sport looks like a common activity more than an Olympic event? A . Swimming Obstacle Race.B . 12 Hour Bicycle Race.C . Live Pigeon Shooting.D . Tug of War.（3）How many athletes finished the event 12 Hour Bicycle Race? A . One.B . Two.C . Four.D . Seven.（4）What does “drop out” mean in English according to the passage? A . Give up.B . Run out.C . Fall off.D . Break down.（5）What can we learn from the passage? A . Athletes took part in all of the events in teams.B . Tug of War was held in the Olympics only once.C . Some of the events may be in the 31st Summer Olympics.D . These events are not as popular as they used to be.19. （10分）阅读下列内容，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。BAlthough cats may be one of the most popular pets today, little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship.The earliest evidence for humancat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus(史前塞浦路斯), where the remains of a wild cat and a human dated 9,500 years old were found buried togetherA new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a humandomestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5,300 years ago. Researchers studied the bones of cats, dogs, deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation (挖掘) near a village in Central China. By using some ways, scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet(黍)based diet, just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site.The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of milletbased food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents (啮齿动物) around human villages, find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally, said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals.It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats, since this kind of evidence had long been missing.” Hu explains. Since cats usually eat meat, such a diet would be unexpected, unless the cats were being fed by people, the study argues. The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age, implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat.Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them pets could be answered by other evidence. Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents a vermin (害兽) that cats could certainly have helped with.The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers, and so were harmful to farmers. Cats were attracted to the rats, and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats, taking care of them in return for pest control.（1）The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus means .A . human made cats pets as early as 9,500 years agoB . human interacted with cats very earlyC . cats didnt appear until prehistoric CyprusD . when cats became domesticated（2）Apart from cats, Hu Yaowu and his teams may also study .A . the preventions of pests from grainsB . the history of Chinese farmingC . the dogs and pigsD . the ways to keep pets（3）Which of the following is NOT the evidence of Chinese farms keeping cats?A . Cats didnt feed on meat.B . The cats consumed large amounts of milletbased foods.C . One of the cats survived to reach old age.D . Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents.（4）What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats?A . Helping keep other domesticated animals.B . Not letting cats eat food.C . Supplying meat for human.D . Helping reduce the amount of pests.（5）In which part of a newspaper would be the passage most probably appear .A . EntertainmentB . EnvironmentC . Human and ScienceD . Life and fashion20. （8分） What is your favorite English letter? Many of you may say QQ. Why? Because so many of you chat with your friends on QQ. What do you like about QQ? What do you talk about?

You turned around and, sure enough, someone was looking right at you!Parapsychologists (灵学家) say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them. To research whether such a “sixth sense” really exists, Robert Baker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Kentucky, did two experiments.In the first one, Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5 to 15 minutes. The subjects（受试者）were eating, drinking, reading, studying, watching TV, or working at a computer. Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods. Later, when he questioned the subjects, almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.。For the second experiment, Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind in a laboratory setting. The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they werent. Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at and when they werent.Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when theyre being stared at. If people doubt theoutcome of his two experiments, said Baker, “I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves.”（1）Whats the aim of the two experiments for?A . Prove why humans have a sixth sense.B . Explain when people can have a sixth sense.C . Show how people act while being watched in the lab.D .
