Millions of sports lovers are sill thinking about one thing----the Winter Olympics in Sochi Russia. close to 2900 men and women competed in the 2022 Winter Games about a month ago.
The Olympics brought a lot of attention to Sochi，a city on the black Sea, which is a popular area for vacation travelers. The area is known for its mild winters，with warm to summer.
At least $50 billion was spent on the 2022 Winter Games, making it the costliest Olympics in history. Seven billion dollars was spent on the 2010 Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
I was in a charity shop looking at the second hand books. It just so happened that the book shelves were next to the toy section. After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me. They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language. As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl, about three years old, came over to the toy section. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram（婴儿车）. What is it about little girls and toy prams? I don't know, but whatever it is its incredibly cute!
She spoke to her mother and, in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost. Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars. The mum looked down at her child, perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she simply shook her head.
The child didn't react badly as some might. Being told “no” was obviously not a new experience for her. But she couldn't keep the disappointment from her face.
I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket, two two-pound coins. A moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder, pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said, "Buy her a dolly too."
I didn't hang about to see the end result. After all, it's not about being thanked. I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine.
The money was an investment in the happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram? And a dolly to sit in it!

1. What did the little girl say to her mother according to the second paragraph?
A. She asked her mother to calculate her money.
B. She asked her mother to buy the toy pram for her.
C. She asked her mother to borrow money from the author.
D. She asked her mother to ask the shop assistant the price of the toy pram.
2. The mother shook her head because ________.
A. she thought the toy wasn’t worth the money.
B. she found it difficult to calculate her money.
C. she found she didn’t take enough money with her.
D. she thought the toy was not suitable for her daughter.
3. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _________ .
A. the girl usually behaved badly.
B. the mother usually treated her daughter badly.
C. the mother was not rich enough to meet her daughter’s need often.
D. the little girl was often refused because she asked for too many toys.
4. What would the girl probably get finally?
A. Both a toy pram and a dolly
B. Either a toy pram or a dolly
C. Two two-pound coins.
D. Nothing
5. What words can be used to describe the author?
A. Optimistic and energetic.
B. Pleasant and grateful
C. Wealthy and healthy.
D. Sympathetic and helpful

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A.B.C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
Growing up, I remember my father as a silent, serious man—not the sort of person around whom one could laugh. As a teenager arriving in America, knowing nothing, I wanted a father who could explain the human journey. In college, when friends called home for advice, I would sink into deep depression for what I did not have.
Today, at twenty-seven, I have come to rediscover them in ways that my teenage mind would not allow—as adults and as friends with their own faults and weaknesses.
One night after my move back home, I overheard my father on the telephone. There was some trouble. Later, Dad shared the problem with me. Apparently my legal training had earned me some privileges in his eyes. I talked through the problem with Dad, analyzing the purposes of the people involved and offering several negotiation strategies(策略).He listened patiently before finally admitting, “I can’t think like that. I am a simple man.”
Dad is a brilliant scientist who can deconstruct the building blocks of nature. Yet human nature is a mystery to him. That night I realized that he was simply not skilled at dealing with people, much less the trouble of a conflicted teenager. It’s not in his nature to understand human desires.
And so, there it was—it was no one’s fault that my father held no interest in human lives while I placed great importance in them. We are at times born more sensitive, wide-eyed, and dreamy than our parents and become more curious and idealistic than them. Dad perhaps never expected me for a child. And I, who knew Dad as an intelligent man, had never understood that his intelligence did not cover all of my feelings.
It has saved me years of questioning and confusion. I now see my parents as people who have other relationships than just Father and Mother. I now overlook their many faults and weaknesses, which once annoyed me.
I now know my parents as friends: people who ask me for advice; people who need my support and understanding. And I’ve come to see my past clearer.

6. What was the author’s impression of her father when she was a teenager?
A. Friendly but irresponsible.
B. Intelligent but severe.
C. Cold and aggressive.
D. Caring and communicative.
7. Why did the author feel depressed when her friends called home?
A. She did not have a phone to call home.
B. Her father did not care about her human journey.
C. Her father was too busy to answer her phone.
D. Her father couldn’t give her appropriate advice.
8. After the author overheard her father on the telephone, _________ .
A. he blamed her for impoliteness.
B. he rediscovered human nature.
C. he consulted with her about his problem.
D. he changed his attitude towards the author.
9. The author realized that _________ .
A. her father had too many faults and weaknesses
B. her father was not as intelligent as she had thought.
C. her father was not good at interpersonal relationships.
D. her father placed too much importance in social activities.
10. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. My Parents as Friends.
B. My Parents as advisors.
C. My father—a serious man.
D. My father—an intelligent scientist.
