III. 阅读理解: A Paula Radcliffe, chasing(角逐)a third London marathon title(冠军),says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games. Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care about criticism(批评).” “In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.” She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens. “Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me last year and if she really cared for me, I’m sure she would have contacted(联系)me.” Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens. “In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.” Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records. However, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final” world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times. “I don’t think that---although I can’t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.” Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later. Radcliffe clocked a time 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago. Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event. 46. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her _ A. face criticism calmly B. rest for five months C. love people around her more D. develop respect for Liz 47. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon. B. Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon. C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon. 48. By saying “I can’t put a number on it “ , Radcliffe means she’s not sure ______. A. if she has the ability to set a new world record B. if she can win another race though she has won many times C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times 49. According to the text, Radcliffe has won_____ London marathon title(s). A. one B. two C. three D. four 50. What can we learn from Radcliffe’s story? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Well begun is half done C. A friend in need is a friend indeed D. Where there is a will, there is a way.
B Athens will welcome the 2004 Olympic Games with open arms. Not only will the Games be returning to their birthplace, but they’ll also be entering a new period of Olympic history. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has been looking for ways to make the world’s largest sporting event a bit smaller and easier for cities to host. Mexico is the only Latin American nation to have hosted the Olympics. And the games have never been held in Africa. It costs well over$4 billion t host the Olympic Games. And this is stopping many poorer countries from trying to win the bid. Cities in Africa and Latin America, with great social and money problems, cannot even begin to make the bid. So, the IOC has suggested 117 ways to make the Games smaller and easier for cities across the world. These ideas are to be put into practice soon---maybe in time for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. The IOC wants to save up to $400 million. The suggestions include limiting the number of sports to 28 and the number of athletes to 10,500. “Imagine a bus with 28 seats and some sports need to get off to give their places to other sports,”said an IOC official. Sports that might not appear in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games included baseball, softball and the modern pentathlon(五项全能)(shooting, fencing, horse, jumping, swimming and running). “We think that the Olympic Games have to be made smaller, and the less costly so that they can be organized by all continents and subcontinents(次大陆),”said IOC president Jacques Rogge. “Our dream is that a continent such as Africa will be able to organize the Olympic Games.” 51. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. The Olympic Games have to be made smaller and less costly B. The Olympic Games have to increase the number of sports. C. The Olympic games have to increase the number of athletes. D. The Olympic Games have to enlarge their global attraction. 52. From the passage, we can know that the Olympics have been held in four continents EXCEPT ____________. A. Asia B. America C. Europe D. Africa 53. The events which are most probably limited include ______ according to the passage. A. basketball, baseball and football B. baseball, softball and volleyball C. softball, baseball and the modern pentathlon D. softball, fencing and pentathlon 54. The purpose of writing the article is to ______. A. think highly of the Athens Olympic Games B. make many poorer countries be able to organize the Olympics. C. increase the events of the Athens Olympic Games D. make Athens enter a new period of Olympic history C It seems that some people go out of their way to get into trouble. That’s more or less what happened the night that Nashville Police Officer Floyd Hyde was on duty. “I was on the way to a personal-injury accident in West Nashville. As I got onto Highway 40, blue lights and siren(警笛) going, I fell in behind a gold Pontiac Firebird that suddenly seemed to take off quickly down the highway. The driver somehow panicked at the sight of me. He was going more than a hundred miles an hour and began passing cars on the shoulder.” But Hyde couldn’t go after him. Taking care of injured people is always more important than worrying about speeders, so the officer had to stay on his way to the accident. But he did try to keep the Firebird in sight as he drove, hoping another nearby unit would be able to step in and stop the speeding car. As it turned out, keeping the Firebird in sight was not that difficult. Every turn the Pontiac made was the very turn the officer needed to get to the accident scene. Hyde followed the Pontiac all the way to his destination(目的地). At that point he found another unit had already arrived at the accident scene. His help wasn’t needed. Now he was free to try to stop the driver of the firebird, who by this time had developed something new to panick about. “Just about that time,” Hyde says, “ I saw fire coming out from under that car, with blue smoke and oil going everywhere. He’s blown his engine. Now he had to stop.” “After I arrested him, I asked him why he was running. He told me he didn’t have a driver’s license That accident cost the driver of the Firebird plenty―a thousand dollars for the new engine―not to mention the charges for driving without a license, attempting to run away, and dangerous driving. 55. The meaning of “panicked” in paragraph 2 is related to _______. A. happy B. fear C. anger D. hate 56. Why did the driver of the Firebird suddenly speed down the highway? A. Because he was racing with another driver on the road. B. Because he realized he had to hurry to the accident scene. C. Because he thought the police officer wanted to stop him. D. Because he wanted to overtake other cars on the shoulder. 57. Which of the following statements is true? A. Someone else was taking care of the injured person. B. The Pontiac reached its destination at the accident scene. C. Hyde knew where he was going by following the right car. D. The policeman was running after a speeder on Highway 40. 58. The driver of the Firebird _________. A. took a wrong turn on the way B. had some trouble with his car C. was stopped by the police officer D. paid for the expenses of the accident 59.
