考點：考察介詞短語辨析
點評：介詞的考查重在積累。解題技巧:  1）明確詞意  所選答案要符合句子意思；2）歸納比較 平時要特別重視收集歸納比較同義詞、近義詞和相似詞的異同，牢記它們的用法。

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold – his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle. The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.
A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild. You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have. Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.
Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race. His country had been invited to Sydney.
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.
【小題1】From the passage we can learn that the young man         .

A．made his turn to start back pitifullyB．was skillful in freestyle in the game
C．swam faster than the average swimmerD．was not capable enough to win the medal
【小題2】The crowd changed their attitudes because          .
A．they felt sorry for the young manB．they were moved by the young man’s courage
C．they wanted to show their sympathyD．they meant to please the young man
【小題3】According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means          .
A．it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself
B．it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills
C．it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors
D．it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals
【小題4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The event started with three men, two of whom were disqualified later.
B．The crowd started to laugh at the athlete’s arms waving in an attempt at freestyle.
C．The athlete, as well as the author, is an expert swimmer.
D．The swimming event is a show of courage rather than a fierce competition.
【小題5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Compete for Gold!B．Try again!
C．Break a Record!D．Go for it!

The clock rules our lives. The more we try to save time, the less time we seem to have. In every area of our lives we are doing things faster. And many of us live in towns and cities which are getting noisier and more stressful as each day passes. But now a worldwide movement, whose aim is to slow life down, has started. Its supporters are people who believe that a happier and healthier way of life is possible.
The Slow Food movement was founded the day that an Italian journalist, Carlo Petrini, saw that McDonald’s had opened a restaurant in a beautiful square in Rome. He thought it was sad that many people today live too quickly to sit down for a proper meal and only eat much fast food. He decided that he had to try to do something about it and so he started the Slow Food movement. Slow Food has become a global organization ever since and now has more than 80,000 members in 100 countries.
Slow Food also encourages people to eat local and regional food, to use local shops and markets, to eat out in small family restaurants, and to cook with traditional recipes.
The idea of Slow Cities was inspired by the Slow Food movement. The aim of Slow Cities is to improve people’s quality of life. Towns which want to become a Slow City have to reduce traffic and noise, increase the number of green areas, plant trees, build pedestrian zones, and promote local businesses and traditions. Now it has spread to other countries all over the world, from the UK to Japan and Australia. There are now 135 Slow Cities in 24 countries across the world that have been named since founding of the organization in 1999. Gao Chun County, in east China’s Jiangsu Province, is expected to be named the first “Slow City” in China next year.
“Slow Cities are about having a community life in the town,” said a local resident. “It is not ‘slow’ as in ‘stupid’. It is ‘slow’ as in the opposite of ‘worried’ and ‘stressful’.”
But not everybody is happy. For teenagers, who have to go 25km to Norwich, the nearest city, to buy CDs, living in a Slow City is not very attractive. “It’s all right here,” says Lewis Cook, 16. “But if you want excitement, you have to go to Norwich. We need more things here for young people.”
【小題1】What’s the aim of the Slow Food movement?

A．To call on people to eat out.
B．To make people enjoy cooking.
C．To drive McDonald’s out of Rome
D．To encourage people to slow down.
【小題2】All the following are necessary to be a Slow City EXCEPT ______.
A．reducing traffic and noise
B．increasing the number of green areas
C．building more department stores
D．promoting local businesses and traditions
【小題3】From the fourth paragraph, we know that ______.
A．the Slow Food was founded in 1999
B．there is no Slow City in China now
C．Slow Cities are mainly in the UK
D．there are about 24 Slow Cities in the world
【小題4】What’s Lewis Cook’s attitude to living in a Slow City?
A．PositiveB．NeutralC．NegativeD．Indifferent
【小題5】What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Slow down and you’ll move fast
B．Time flies never to be recalled.
C．Eat slowly and you’ll be healthy.
D．Pay attention to the quality of life.
