COMPREHENSION|30 MIN.SECTION A READING COMPREHENSION 25 MIN.In this section there are five passages followed by fifteen questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answer marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that you think is the correct answerTEXT AThe Olympic Gaines originated in 776 B.C.in Olympia,a small town in Greece.Participants in the first Olympiad are said to have run a 200-yard race,but as the Games were held every four years,they expanded in scope.Only Greek amateurs were allowed to participate in this festival in honor of the God Zeus.The event became a religious,patriotic,and athletic occasion where winners were honored with wreaths and special privileges.There was a profound change in the nature of the Games under the Roman emperors.They were banned in 394 A.D.by Emperor Theodosius,after they became professional circuses and carnivals.The modern Olympic Games began in Athens in 1896 as a result of the initiative of Baron Pierre de Coubertin,a French educator whose desire was to promote international understanding through athletics.Nine nations participated in the first Games;over 100 nations currently compete.The taint of politics and racial controversy,howevei;has impinged upon the Olympic Games in our epoch.In 1936 Hitler,whose country hosted the Games,affronted Jesse Owens,a black American runner,by refusing to congratulate Owens fro the feat of having won four gold medals.In the 1972 Munich games,the world was appalled by the deplorable murder of eleven Israeli athletes by Arab terrorists.The next Olympic Games in Montreal were boycotted by African nations;in addition,Taiwan withdrew.In 1980,following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan,sixty-two nations caused great dismay to their athletes by refusing to participate in the Games.The consensus among those nations was that their refusal would admonish the Soviets.66.According to the passage,the first Olympic games were held_.A.as a religious festivalB.for political reasonsC.as an international competitionD.as a professional athletes competition正确答案是67.From the passage,we can infer that Hitlers refusal to congratulate Jesse Owens was an indication ofA.jealousyB.national prideC.racial discriminationD.political prejudice正确答案是I68.The feelings of those athletes whose countries boycotted the 1980 Games could best be described asA.diffidentB.angryC.very happyD.disappointed正确答案是TEXTBThe car industry suffered another setback yesterday when Lucas Electrical Company announced that many of its 12,000 workers at 15 factories in the West Midlands would be going on short time.It was expected that they would work a four-day week starting early next month.“There will be a requirement for some short-time working in selected product areas and the final details will be organized on a site-by-site basis,H a Lucas spokesman said in Birmingham.The factories cover an area from Telford,Shropshire,to Solihull in the West Midlands.Many of those involved are women and the products include alternators,batteries and headlamps.For many families the wife has been the sole earner in recent months.The Lucas announcement is expected to have an aggravated effect on the regions rapidly declining economy.The company spokesman said that not all the 12,000 would be affected;about 20 percent of the staff would not be affected at all.The announcement conies after BLs production cuts in the Austin-Rover division with a two-week extended holiday for 8,000 workers because of the sluggish market.Dunlop in Birmingham has made a similar decision.Lucas said that it was also because of reductions in the schedules of other customers in the car industry.It was emphasized that it was temporary and its duration would depend on how many cars were sold in the coining months.69.According to the passage,we learn the bad news for the car industry from_.A.the announcement of production cuts by the Austin-RoverB.the rep
