Even before World War Ⅱ ended in 1945,many world leaders dreamed of a new organization that would keep international peace and safety,and encourage international cooperation（合作）.An organization was formed.The United Nations was to work to this ideal of mankind.

When the UN was founded in 1945,it was made up of fifty members.Fifteen members sat on the Security Council（安理會(huì)）.Five members—the United States,the Soviet Union,Great Britain,France and China—were given,not changing membership on the Council.The Council was given the power to settle fights among nations by persuasion,mediation（調(diào)解） or other means.A General Assembly（聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)）,which included every UN member,was also set up.The Assembly could consider,discuss,and pass resolutions（決議案）.

As the UN passed its fortieth birthday in 1985,it came under increasingly sharp attack by Americans.It declared that the UN is unfit as a peace keeper and cited（援引） 130 wars since 1945 as a proof（證據(jù)）.

Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together, they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.

One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停賽）of the team for at least three years.

Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages  aggressive patriotism(愛(ài)國(guó)主義).

1.According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ______.

A．created goodwill between the nations

B．brought about only false national pride

C．hardly showed any international friendship

D．put an end to misunderstanding and hatred

2.The underlined word “disallowed”(in Paragraph 2) means “______”.

A．permitted to pass

B．considered as reasonable

C．won by the other side

D．refused to accept

3.What did the manager mean by saying, “Hockey and the International Hockey Federation 

are finished"?

A．His team would no longer take part in international games.

B．Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions.

C．There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation.

D．The Federation should break up.

4.The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show ______.

A．how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games

B．that sportsmen are often against the final decisions

C．that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship

D．that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games

5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A．The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

B．Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.

C．A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.

D．More and more athletes will compete for their own honor.

Hey, Mr．a(chǎn)nd Ms．Unluckiness and Unhappiness! Terrorism, the war, the economic crisis and unemployment are at your door．Are you afraid of them? Well, don’t be! America is a happy land．The Smiley Face icon proves this in towns all over the country．

The tallest structure—the steel water tower—is often painted bright yellow, in a circle containing a pair of black dots for eyes and an upturned（朝上的）line for a mouth: the unforgettable smile．Most towns decorated their spheroid (or cylindrical) water storage tanks in the 1970s, when Smiley was still conceptually fresh．As a "safe" counterculture symbol, with absolutely no bite, the Smile Face water tower was a low cost way to radiate sunny greetings to travelers and locals．Calumet City, Illinois claims to have been the first, when 8-year old resident Kim Fornero sent a letter to the city council in late 1972 suggesting a smile face would be more fun to look at than a plain old water tower．

In the 1980s, with the paint on the water tower fading, residents of Calumet City decided to make the face their own．They repainted the tower, and a Happy Cook Restaurant and Smiley Face Inn appeared on the highway outside the town, ready to make you smile! Local businessmen printed the Smiley icon on their business cards, and displayed Smiley Face souvenirs in shop windows．

By the late 1990s, the survival of the Smiley Face water tower was assured．It didn’t matter why the face had been painted there—it was now a part of history．In May 2009, the town again celebrated its Smiley Face water tower as a symbol of hope for a better tomorrow．

60．The author mainly wants to tell readers that the symbol asks them to_________

A．greet people politely       B．deal with their problems

C．enjoy themselves            D．forget the past

61．The underlined word “icon ” in the first paragraph probably means________.

A．beautiful picture      B．building    C．image       D．valuable painting

62．Why did Calumet residents accept the tower happily?

A．It set a good example to them.      

B．It made them work harder.

C．They wanted to think it for supplying water.

D．They wanted to make the Smiley Face their own.

63．From the text we learn that the Smiley Face water tower________

A．was based on a painter’s inspiration

B．is a symbol of the prosperity of the town

C．is meant to give people hope for a better future

D．was created in 1972 by the city council, just for fun
