二、阅读理解(每题2分，共40分)
本部分共有四篇短文，每篇短文后面有四个阅读理解题，根据短文从A、B、C、D中选出最佳答案。 Passage One
The first Olympic competition was held in the ancient Greek city of Olympia more than two thousand seven hundred years ago. The modern day summer Olympics begin today in the Greek capital, Athens.
At the first Olympics, men took part in foot races during celebrations to honor the Greek god, Zeus. More races and sports were added later.
Greece held these Olympic games every four years for the next one thousand years. The ancient Romans banned (禁止)them in the fourth century.
The modern Olympic games began more than one hundred years ago. Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France proposed a world celebration of sports like the ancient games of Greece.
The first modern Olympics were held in Athens in eighteen ninety-six. Athletes (运动员) from eight countries competed in ten sports. The purpose was to help athletes develop strength and values through competition(竞争). It also provided a way for athletes of all nations to become friends.
The Olympic symbol of five linked rings represents this friendship. Baron de Coubertin designed it in nineteen thirteen. The rings represent the linking through sports of the major populated areas of the world—Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and the two American continents, represented by one ring. The colors of the rings are blue, yellow, black, green and red. The flag of each nation competing in the games has at least one of these colors. Under the rings is the Olympic saying in Latin: \"Citius, Altius, Fortius\". The words mean \"Swifter, Higher, Stronger\".
11.The first Olympic competition was held ______________.
A. about two thousand nine hundred years ago
B. more than three thousand seven hundred years ago C. about two thousand seven hundred years ago D. more than two thousand seven hundred years ago
12.According to the passage in the fourth century ______________.

Passage Two
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and gave up. He fell down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at him to stop the pain and just die. He jumped even harder and finally made it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, \"Didn’t you hear us?\" The frog explained to them that he was a little deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the entire time. This story teaches us two lessons:
1. There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift them up and help them make it through the day.
2. A destructive word to someone who is down can be what it takes to kill him.
Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words is sometimes hard to understand because an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times. Special is the individual who will take the time to encourage another.
16.The expression “as good as” (in line2, paragraph 1) means __________.
A. equally good B. no better than C. hardly D. almost, practically
17. When other frogs told the two frogs there was no hope, the two frogs __________.
A. gave up their efforts immediately
B. refused to notice them and tried their best to get out C. were so afraid of the danger
D. made up their mind to stay in the pit quietly
18. One of the frogs fell down and died because __________.
1. he was so tired.
B. he saw the other frogs unwilling to help him.
C. he noticed what the other frogs were saying and stopped struggling. D. he didn’t trust himself.
19.Another frog managed to jump out of the pit because __________.
A. he didn’t believe what the other frogs had said B. he was very strong physically
C. his ears were not good and he mistook their words for encouragement D. the pit was not deep enough 20.Which of the following is TRUE?
A. People should avoid saying destructive words to those who are in trouble.
B. The power of words lies in the beauty of language.
C. Words are just words and we don’t have to be careful with words.
D. An encouraging word may discourage others when they are in difficult times.
Passage Three
People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle (城堡). They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually lovely. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels(毛巾) around you; in the rain you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you. Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was on a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase(公文包) on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought that he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal(非语言的) communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out（突出) of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table.
21. What does the first sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The home matters greatly to Englishmen. B. The castle is more important than the home. C. The home is more important than the castle.
D. Englishmen usually live in homes instead of castle.
22. Which of the following is NOT the reason for most British to live in homes? A. They can make changes in houses in which they live. B. They love houses more than gardens.
C. They can own private space like the house and the garden. D. They can keep the private space to themselves and friends.
23. According to Paragraph 2, if you spread your books around you in a library, it means: A. you want to spread your towels around you further B. you want to put your coat on the table
C. you can find no space for your books on the seat D. you want to tell others the space belongs to you
24. How did the man opposite to the writer show he owned the whole table?
2
A. He sat in a section for four people. B. He placed his briefcase on the table. C. He was traveling on a train to London. D. He was reading a book.
25. The writer tried to get back his space by ______. A. moving the case off the table B. taking all his papers out
C. taking up the space of the man opposite D. showing the books concerned to the man
Passage Four
Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant, whether you are a book-lover or merely there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon focus on some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent too much time there and must hurry off to keep some forgotten appointment.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is the main attraction of a bookshop. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can range round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the greeting, “Can I help you?” You needn't buy anything you don't want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished reading. Then, and only then, are his services necessary.
Once a medical student had to read a textbook which was far too expensive for him to buy. He couldn't obtain it from the library and the only copy he could find was in a bookshop. Every afternoon, therefore, he would go to the shop and read a little of the book at a time. One day, however, he was disappointed to find the book missing from its usual place. He was about to leave, when he noticed the owner of the shop making a gesture to him with his hand. Expecting to be scolded, he went towards him. To his surprise, the owner pointed to the book which was put away in a corner. “I put it there in case anyone had a desire to buy it!” he said, and left the delighted student to continue his reading.
26. In a good bookshop _________.
A. an assistant should always follow you
B. an assistant should frequently approach you and offer help C. you needn't buy anything you don't want
D. you can communicate freely with an assistant
27.The medical student went to a bookshop every day ________.
A. to look for useful books B. to read a textbook
C. to talk with the shop owner D. to use the computer at the shop 28.The owner of the bookshop put away the book _________. A. in case other people wanted to buy it
B. in case the medical student wanted to buy it C. because he wanted to sell it at a high price D. because he wanted to keep it for himself
29.Time spent in a bookshop can be most pleasant ________.
A. only when you can find the book you want to buy B. only when you are a book-lover
C. even when you enter it to avoid a sudden shower D. even when you know you are late for an appointment 30.A bookshop is of much attraction because _________. A. it offers you an opportunity to forget everyday life
B. it offers you an opportunity to listen to as much music as possible C. it allows you to forget all your problems and worries
D. it allows you to have a good excuse for being late for an appointment
