A
I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had escaped their search. I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.
1、What had happened to the man before?

2、Why did the man want to smoke cigarettes?
A．Because he was sure he was to be killed.
B．Because he wanted to ease his nervousness.
C．Because he wanted to talk to the guard.

3、Which of the following is true according to the passage?

B．The man smiled to please the guard.
C．The guard set the man free with permission.
D．The man hadn't thought the guard would set him free.
4、What do you think finally saved the man's life?

B
Professional athletes pay a high price for their pursuit of excellence and glory. Training to the limit tears muscles and wears out joints. Gymnasts often need hip replacements when barely into middle age. Few footballers make it to the end of their careers with their knees intact.
But many also run a darker risk: doping — the use of banned athletic performance-enhancing drugs by athletic competitors. The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, in South Korea, starts this week in its shadow. Years after whistle-blowers first revealed wholesale (大规模的) doping in Russia, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at last decided to bar it from taking part. But it has allowed many Russians to compete as individuals. And on the eve of the competition the Court of Arbitration for Sport CAS) said that 28 others should receive a more tolerant penalty from the IOC, further muffling the anti-doping message.
Russia’s doping is unusual only in its scale and institutional nature. No country or sport is immune. Studies, and an anonymous survey at the World Athletics Championships in 2011, suggest that a third of athletes preparing for big international competitions take banned substances. Yet just 1-2% fail a test each year. Lance Armstrong, a cyclist who won the Tour de France seven times and later admitted to doping all the while, was tested on 250 occasions. The few times he failed, he avoided punishments by claiming he had taken anti-inflammatories (消炎药) for saddle-sores (骑行引起的肌肉酸痛).
Doping is more sophisticated than when some states used steroids (类固醇) to bulk up athletes. New drugs are designed to be undetectable in a blood or urine sample. Many athletes “blood dope,” receiving transfusions or taking a drug that stimulates the production of red blood cells to improve their physical strength. Soviet athletes who were fed steroids suffered a host of serious problems in later life. They were more likely to commit suicide, or to miscarry (流产) or have a disabled child. No one knows what risks those taking new “designer” versions are running. Blood-doping can cause heart attacks; more than a dozen cyclists’ deaths have already been linked to it.
The agencies that set out to stop doping are hugely outclassed. As the argument over punishments on Russia illustrate they are divided and weak. Most testing is done by national bodies, which may not try very hard to find evidence that would get their own stars banned. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which oversees them, is packed with officials from national sports federations and the IOC．Their interests are likewise conflicted. Its budget is tiny. The system seems to be designed to look tough but punish only the occasional scapegoat (替罪羊). Honest athletes deserve better.
1、The word “muffling” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “ .”
A．deafening B．conveying C．spreading D．weakening
2、Why did the author cite an instance of Lance Armstrong?
A．To illustrate he is a model of Russian athlete.
B．To show cycling is very popular in France.
C．To indicate doping exists everywhere.
D．To suggest doping is an exception for American athletes.
3、Which of the following is NOT a side-effect of steroids?
A．Giving birth to an unhealthy child.
B．Suicidal tendencies.
C．Stimulates the production of red blood cells.
D．Unintentionally having a pregnancy end early.
4、What can be inferred from the passage?
A．The CAS should put more severe penalties on Russian athletes.
B．The Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang have not been successful due to doping scandals.
C．Doping is quite common among athletes in France and Russia.
D．WADA does a good job monitoring doping in the Olympics.
