19.Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both opinions,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests.
One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refuse the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said:"This wasn't hockey.Hockey and the international Hockey Federation are finished."The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia,after a doubtful end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United States had won,by a single point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury(申訴仲裁) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
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 terms,might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(愛國).

32.According to the author,recent Olympic Games haveC.
A.created goodwill between the nations
B.brought only false national pride
C.hardly showed any international friendship
D.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
33.What did the manager mean by saying,"Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished"?B
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 be canceled
34.The basketball example suggested thatA.
A.too much patriotism was shown in the incident
B.the announcement to restart the match for three more seconds was wrong
C.the appeal jury was too bad at making the decision
D.the American team deserved to get the silver medals.
35.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A
A.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B.Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C.Sports should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D.International contests are unfair for misunderstanding between nations.

9.Andrew Carnegie,known as the King of Steel,built the steel industry in the United States,and in the process,became one of the wealthiest men in America.His success resulted in part from his ability to sell the product and in part from his policy of expanding during periods of economic decline,when most of his competitors were reducing their investments.
Carnegie believed that individuals should progress through hard work,but he also felt strongly that the wealthy should use their fortunes for the benefit of society.He opposed charity,preferring instead to provide educational opportunities that would allow others to help themselves."He who dies rich,dies disgraced",he often said.
Among his more noteworthy contributions to society are those that bear his name,including the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh,which has a library,a museum of fine arts,and a museum of national history.He also founded a school of technology that is now part of Carnegie-Mellon University.Other philanthropic(慈善的) gifts are the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to promote understanding between nations,the Carnegie Institute of Washington to fund scientific research,and Carnegie Hall to provide a center for the arts.
Few Americans have been left untouched by Andrew Carnegie's generosity.His contributions of more than five million dollars established 2,500libraries in small communities throughout the country and formed the nucleus(核心) of the public library system that we all enjoy today.

21.The author quoted"He who dies rich,dies disgraced"in the passage to showA.

10.Children have their own rules in playing games.They seldom need a referee(裁判) and rarely trouble to keep scores.They don't care much about who wins or loses,and it doesn't seem to worry them if the game is not finished.Yet,they like games that depend a lot on luck,so that their personal abilities cannot be directly compared.They also enjoy games that move in stages,in which each stage,the choosing of leaders,the picking-up of sides,or the determining of which side shall start,is almost a game in itself.
Grown-ups can hardly find children's games exciting,and they often feel puzzled(迷惑的)at why their kids play such simple games again and again.However,it is found that a child plays games for very important reasons.He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person,and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid.He becomes a leader when it comes to his turn.He can be confident,too,in particular games,that it is his place to give orders,to pretend to be dead,to throw a ball actually at someone,or to kiss someone he has caught.
It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control.Everyone knows the rules,and more importantly,everyone plays according to the rules.Those rules may be childish,but they make sure that every child has a chance to win.

32.What is true about children when they play games?A
A.They can stop playing any time they like.
B.They can test their personal abilities.
C.They want to pick a better team.
D.They don't need rules.
33.To become a leader in a game the child has toB.
A.play well
B.wait for his turn
C.be confident in himself
D.be popular among his playmates
34.Why does a child like playing games?A
A.Because he can be someone other than himself.
B.Because he can become popular among friends.
C.Because he finds he is always lucky in games.
D.Because he likes the place where he plays a game.
35.The writer believes thatC.
A.children should make better rules for their games.
B.children should invite grown-ups to play with them.
C.children's games can do them a lot of good.
D.children play games without reasons.

Some scientists claim that we humans are the only living things that are conscious-we alone are aware that we are thinking.

14.How Can I Fight Laziness?
Lazy people will never amount to anything in life.However,laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind.
(36)AMany people lack sleep constantly,since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work.These people have little motivation once they arrive home.Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things.By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest,you can fight laziness throughout the day.
Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active.Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task.Others take a more proactive approach,viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone.(37)GSome people fight laziness by removing the temptations (誘惑) that surround them.A television in the living room may provide entertainment,but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness.(38)FComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy,such as a good dinner or a film.
Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home.Couples and children may all have different energy levels,but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately.(39)DBe the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal.Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task.It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people.
(40)CEnough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle,thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.

A.One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.
B.Knowing how to fight laziness is important.
C.Finally,taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.
D.To fight family laziness,set an example.
E.With strong determination,you will be able to achieve your goal.

8.The interview had been going on for about 20minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then,suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,"Which is more important,law or Dove?"
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力傾向測驗(yàn)).
According to Mark Baldwin,many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test,he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.
28.The writer wrote the passage toA.
A.give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B.tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C.describe the aptitude test    
D.a(chǎn)dvise you how to find a job
29.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?C
A.They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B.They are curious about the answers.
C.They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D.They just ask questions without thinking much.
30.According to the writer,in an aptitude test,Chinese job applicants shouldB.
A.not tell the truth        
B.learn to tell what they really think
C.be more enthusiastic
D.try to find out what the examiner really want to know
31.From the passage we know thatD.
A.job applicants are always asked such questions
B.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C.a(chǎn)pplicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D.the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide.
