12．The Olympic flame
   The Olympic Flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics，where a flame burned at the altar（祭壇）of Zeus throughout competition．It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games，and again burned in 1932．
   Carl Diem，chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games，proposedthat the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay．The idea was adopted（采納）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 carved 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．
  The Olympic motto
"Citius，altius，fortius"is a Latin phrase meaning"swifter，higher，stronger"，which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris．Dideon was the 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 the stone above the main entrance．
The Olympic oath
"In the name of all competitors，I promise that we shall take part in these Olympi c Games，respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them，in the true spirit of sportsmanship，for the glory of sport and the honor 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．
51．The Olympi c flame was first burned atBin modern times．
A．the 1920 Games      
B．the 1924 Games 
C．the 1932 Games 
D．the 1936 Games

51．B  細節(jié)理解題．由第一段It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games，and again burned in 1932．可知，奧運圣火于1924年阿姆斯特丹奧運會上被重新引進．故選B．
52．C  猜測詞義題．由第二段"The idea was adopted，and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952．"可知其想法被采納，由此可知畫線詞詞義為：提議或建議．故選C．
53．A  推理判斷題．根據(jù)第二段Carl Diem，chairman of the organizing committee for the 1936 Berlin Games，proposedthat the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay．可知1936年Carl Diem的傳遞圣火的提議被采納，由此推出第一次火炬接力是在1936年柏林奧運會上進行的．故選A．
54．D  細節(jié)理解題．由文章第二部分Olympic motto的Citius，altius，fortius"is a Latin phrase meaning"swifter，higher，stronger"，which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Dideon of Paris．可知奧林匹克格言是從Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris那兒借鑒來的．故選D．
55  A  細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章最后一段The athletes'oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games．可知運動員的誓言第一次被引進是在1920年，故選A．

2．ASK any group of teenagers in the UK what they most like to eat，and foods like pizzas，curries，pasta，burgers and chips are bound to get a mention-and many young people would probably also list hanging out at the local fast-food restaurant as one of their favorite pastimes．
But what teenagers like to eat is not necessarily what they should be eating．According to the National Diet and Nutrition Survey，far too many young people in the UK between the ages of four and 18consume too much fat，sugar and salt in their diet and take in too many calories．Meanwhile their intake of starchy carbohydrates （淀粉類碳水化合物），fibre，iron，vitamins and calcium is too low．
For a growing body，eating foods containing plenty of calcium，such as milk，yoghurt and cheese，is particularly important as calcium is essential for the development of healthy，strong bones．Similarly，foods that are rich in iron are good for young，rapidly developing bodies，so red meat，bread，green vegetables，dried fruit and fortified （強化的） breakfast cereals （谷類食物） are also recommended．
It is during our teenage years that lifestyle habits can become entrenched （根深蒂固的），so it is important that young people are educated about what foods are good for them．In 2005，in an attempt to change eating habits and open teenagers'minds to new flavors and new tastes，celebrity chef Jamie Oliver launched a‘Feed Me Better'campaign．As part of a television series，‘Jamie's School Dinners'，he worked with teachers and cooks in a number of schools across the UK to provide more healthy，nutritious school meal options．Although the campaign was rather resisted at the beginning，it was generally regarded as a huge success and helped to influence governmental policy on nutritional standards for school meals．
No one expects to end the teenage love affair with fast and junk food but，hopefully，if projects like‘Feed Me Better'and the Government's own‘Change4Life'campaign continue to give out the right messages，more young people will understand the importance of balancing occasional treats with healthier food options．

50．What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs？A
A．British teenagers eat too much junk food．
B．British teenagers need to take in more calcium．
C．What British teenagers like to eat is probably what their bodies need
D．British teenagers should reduce their intake of starchy carbohydrates．
51．Young people need calcium and ironB．
A．to improve their brainpower
B．to build healthy strong bodies
C．to provide energy for their body
D．to help change their eating habits
52．According to the article，Jamie Oliver launched a campaign at schools toD．
A．show off his excellent cooking skills
B．teach students how to cook nutritious meals
C．make the public keep an eye on school food
D．improve the children's diet at school
53．Which is a point that the article supports？C
A．Teenagers should never eat any junk food at all．
B．It's easy for children to give up unhealthy eating．
C．It's okay for a healthy eater to have a little junk food．
D．Once developed，our eating habit will never change．

The Government said all subjects would be taught"through projects，often designed with employers"--with disciplines such as science being linked directly to local engineering firms or hospitals．Schools will operate a longer day to give pupils a better understanding of the demands of the workplace．Along with their studies，pupils will carry out work placements for four hours a week，rising to two days a week of paid work for those aged 16to 19．They will also get the chance to take professional qualifications linked directly to the needs of local employers．

68．According to the passage，the NEETs are referred to those whoD．

4．They're WILD animals

The story about the woman who lost some fingers while feeding a bear at a zoo in Manitowoc，after she ignored warnings and barriers（柵欄），reminded me of the story I heard about a couple who put their baby on the back of a wild horse in South Dakota to get a really cute picture．We all do silly things at times-no one is immune-but treating wild animals as lovely pets has to fall into a special category．Teddy bears and Disney movies aren't actually representative of real bears．

2．tk421-Mar 11，2010 11：09AM

Alcohol certainly isn't involved when people decide to keep"pets"like chimpanzees，baby tigers，etc．Stupidity，definitely．Dogs are pets because of thousands of years of domestication．Even farm animals，which have been kept by humans for thousands of years as well，aren't let in the house．So why keep animals that treat human contact with，at best，indifference（冷淡、不在乎） and，at worst，violence？
