The history of the Games
Olympia
Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games, is in the western part of the Peloponnese which, according to Greek mythology, is the island of "Pelops", the founder of the Olympic Games. Imposing temples, votive buildings, elaborate shrines and ancient sporting facilities(设备) were combined in a site of unique natural and mystical beauty.
Olympia functioned as a meeting place for worship and other religious and political practices as early as the 10th century B.C. The central part of Olympia was dominated by the majestic temple of Zeus, with the temple of Hera parallel to it. The ancient stadium in Olympia could hold more than 40,000 audience, while in the surrounding area there were auxiliary(辅助的) buildings which developed gradually up until the 4th century B.C. and were used as training sites for the athletes or to house the judges of the Games.
The Games and religion
The Olympic Games were closely linked to the religious festivals of the cult of Zeus, but were not a total part of a rite. Indeed, they had a secular character and aimed to show the physical qualities and development of the performances accomplished by young people, as well as encouraging good relations between the cities of Greece. According to specialists, the Olympic Games owed their purity and importance to religion.
Victory ceremonies
The Olympic victor received his first awards immediately after the competition. Following the announcement of the winner's name by the herald, a Hellanodikis (Greek judge) would place a palm branch in his hands, while the audience cheered and threw flowers to him. Red ribbons were tied on his head and hands as a mark of victory.
The official award ceremony would take place on the last day of the Games, at the elevated vestibule of the temple of Zeus. In a loud voice, the herald would announce the name of the Olympic winner, his father's name, and his homeland. Then, the Hellanodikis placed the sacred olive tree wreath, or kotinos, on the winner's head.
56. When did Olympia become the site of the Olympic Games?
A. In the 10th century B.C.
B. Before the 4th century B.C.
C. After the 4th century B.C.
D. It was not mentioned here.

D. The Olympic victor would receive a golden medal.
58. Can you guess the meaning of this word “herald” in the passage?

on the last day of the game.

The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals.
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every day." And when those clones reproduce sexually（有性繁殖）, the agency says, their offspring（后代） are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited. So the F.D.A. proposes that sheep clones not be used for human food.
The United States this year could become the first country to approve the sale of foods from cloned animals. First, however, the public will have ninety days to comment on three proposed documents. On December 28th the F.D.A. released a long report, called a draft risk assessment, along with two policy documents.
The agency says it must receive comments by April second. The F.D.A. seemed ready to act several years ago, but an advisory committee called for more research.
For now, the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that they not sell foods from cloned animals.
Clones are still rare. They cost a lot and are difficult to produce.
The F.D.A. says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves, but from their sexually reproduced offspring. It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities.
Public opinion studies show most Americans do not like the idea of food from cloned animals. But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning.
Cloning differs from genetic engineering. A cell taken from a so-called donor animals is grown into an embryo（胚胎）in the laboratory. Next, the embryo is placed into the uterus（子宫）of a female animal. If the process is successful, the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born.
64. From the passage we know that .
A. foods from cloned animals are popular in America
B. cloned adult animals are safe to eat except sheep.
C. cloned animals will be easy to produce
D. most foods from cloning is expected to take place of other foods
65.The main purpose of the text is to .
A. tell a interesting story
B. give some advice on foods
C. give a report
D. compare different opinions
66. Who believe that foods from cloning are safe to eat?
A. Most Americans
B. An advisory committee
C. Critics
D. The F.D.A.
67.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that .
A. cloning has much in common with genetic
B. not every cell taken from a donor animal can grow into a genetic copy
C. the donor animal should be a female one
D. cloned animals grow faster than normal ones
D
Once the 2008 Olympic Games finishes, the drums and trumpets(喇叭) of the competitions would also stop. But would the city remain as lively as it would be after this world event? Investment sustainability and high demand are two highly invaluable economic concepts(概念) that can be looked at in order to ensure post-Olympics flourish, or perhaps, an even better future for Beijingers.
Naturally, an economic downturn occurs in an Olympic host city once the major event finishes. Renmin University Professor Jin Yuanpu noted that a global event like this would put Beijing into a position of large importance in the international stage. But after this event, who would use the heavily-funded equipment and public and private investments left in the city? Various economists argued that a meltdown (彻底垮台) is highly unlikely. Jonathan Anderson, UBS Asia economist, suggested that the negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics 2008 on the entire country aren’t important compared to previous host cities. China is such a huge economy that the conclusion of the Olympics games is the same as an ant-bite on a dragon.
But what about post-Olympics Beijing? Retired Headmaster of Peking University, Li Yining, noted that a long-term civil demand growth and an popular desire by companies to adopt careful financial management decisions can lead to continued investment growth. Even though demand in some departments of the economy would drop in the short-run, creativity, practicality and innovation(创新) would be the key factors that would continually enhance the city's image and flourish long after the Olympics in the city has ended.
So what's next for Beijing after the Olympics? Well, it's business as usual...
67. Which one of the followings is the author’s idea?
A. Beijing’s economy will have a downturn after the 2008 Olympic Games.
B. The 2008 Olympic Games have no effects on Beijing’s economy.
C. Beijing’s economy will go on as usual.
D. Beijing’s economy will go worse after the 2008 Olympic Games.
69. What’s the Jin Yuanpu idea about Beijing’s economy after the 2008 Olympic Games according to the passage?
A. to have a downturn
B. to develop as usual
C. to develop more rapidly
D. all of the above
70. Why did Jonathan Anderson believe that the negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics 2008 on the entire country aren’t important?
A. The negative effects are small.
B. The Chinese government has many measures to take.
C. The Chinese economy has developed at a certain level so that the negative effects can’t affect it too much.
D. Jonathan Anderson liked China very much so he didn’t want China to go worse.
71. Choose a best title for this passage.
A. Beijing After the Olympics
B. The negative effects of the end of Beijing Olympics
C. Can Beijing get through the difficult period after the 2008 Olympic Games
D. Beijing’s economy after the 2008 Olympic Games

M: I wouldn’t spend that much time to see someone like Terry James. I don’t like his music. Now, if you were after tickets for an opera like The Magic Flute, I might have joined you.
W: I’ve never seen an opera. I’ve always thought they were difficult to understand because they’re not usually presented in English. For that matter, I don’t much like Broiadway musicals, either.
M: Opera isn’t hard to follow. The stories are usually simple, so you don’t need to know the language. Besides, you can read a summary of the story beforehand. And it’s the singing that I like. You can’t understand everything Terry James sings, either. There are also dramatic settings and, sometimes, good acting opera. All there is at rock concerts is noise and flashing lights.
W: But rock concerts are exciting. Opera seems slow and even boring.
M: Sure, May it can be. You should see one sometime.
W: OK. I’ll make you a deal. Come to see Terry James with me and then I’ll go to an opera with you.
M: That’s a deal.

M: Do you believe in life after death, Mary?
W: Yes, sir.
M: Well, then, that makes everything just fine. About an hour after you left yesterday to go to your grandfather’s funeral, he dropped in to see you.

M: Hello, professor Ward speaking.
W: Hello, my name is Ann Mclaughlin. I’d like to take your course on medicinal plants.
M: I’m sorry, there are already too many students in that class.
W: I know. But I’m a student from another university, and I’ll be here only 2 terms. The course isn’t offered at my school and I think it would be interesting.
M: I see. Have you studied much botany? It’s a advanced course, you know.
W: Yes, I am majoring in biology and I’ve also done some economic botany on my own.
M: Well, I’ll do my best. Why don’t you come to my office next week? I’ll be in all day Wednesday. I can tell you more about the class and the other courses here. In any case, you’ll have to see professor Chambers to get his approval. If all else fails you can register for my course in the spring. We will cover many of the same topics then.
W: Thanks, I’ll be in Wednesday.

Do you always understand the directions on a bottle of medicine? Do you know what is meant by “Take only as directed”? Read the following directions and see if you understand them.
“To reduce pain, take two tablets with water, followed by one tablet every eight hours, as required. For nighttime and early morning relief take two tablets at bedtime. Do not take more than six tablets in twenty-four hours.
For children six to twelve years old, give half the amount. For children under six years old, ask your doctor’s advice.
Reduce the amount if you suffer from restlessness or sleeplessness after taking the medicine
单项选择
21.D。 动词时态的考查。当我去看他时，他正要去北京参加抗击非典，所以只跟他说了几句话。情景是他正要去。又因为come，leave，arrive等动词的进行时表将来时，故答案为D.
22. B。 本题是“特殊疑问词 + do you consider／suppose／think／believe．．．+ 陈述语序的句子其它成分”结构。根据第一句，可知强调了对现在的影响，故用现在完成时。学生易错选A、C。误选C是因为consider后应接动词ing形式，而忽略了句子的结构，即没有考虑到consider后面接的是宾语从句，从句的主语是what，缺少的是从句的谓语；选A是因为没有考虑到从句的时态应该用现在完成时。
23. B。 此题考查主语从句，其主语从句缺少主语，What在此等于the thing which，故选B项。
24. C。
remain作系动词用，本身不用于被动语态，有时与不定式的被动结构构成合成谓语，意为“尚待”。如：A number of problems remain to be
solved.
25. D。
It’s reported 意为“据报道”，it为形式主语，后面的that从句才是真正的主语。如果要用选项A、B、C表示“据报道” 的话，那它们后面只能跟不定式。
26. C。 考核点是状语从句。从句子结构上判断，有划线的那一分句属于状语分句，从句子意义上判断，该分句应为地点状语，故而答案应为C。
27. A。 问句为否定疑疑问句，回答该用Yes或No开头，B项结构不完整，其完整形式应该是：No, I can hardly finish it.
28. B。
not与all连用为部分否定，表示“并非所有的……都……”；D项中every one与not连用也可表示部分否定，但谓语动词要用单数。
29. B。
next month是时间点，不是时间段，“after + 时间点”可用于将来时，表示某一特定时间之后。此处如果不用介词，则表示“下个月”；用了after，则表示“下个月以后”。until在肯定句中要与延续性动词连用。
30. B。 现在分词的完成被动式作原因状语，说明发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前的被动动作。
31. A。 否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。
32. A。
needn't have done表示“做了不必要做的事情”。can't have done表示对过去情况的推测， 意为“不可能发生了某事”。mustn't have done 无此用法。shouldn't have done表示“本不应该做的事而做了”。
33. B。 第一空白处的that为关系代词，引导定语从句；第二空白处的that为强调结构连词。
34. C。世贸大厦是由普通名词构成的专有名词，其前应使用定冠词。shock在这里意指“令人震惊的事”，为可数名词。
35. B。
quite后应接a
few。advice为不可数名词，使用that替代。
