No sporting event takes hold of the world's attention and imagination like the Olympic Games.The football World Cup fascinates fans in Europe and South America;baseball's World Series is required viewing in North America;and the World Table Tennis Championships attracts the most interest in Asia.But the Olympics belong to the whole world.Now, after travelling to 17 countries over 108 years, the summer Games are returning to Athens, the place where the first modern Olympics was held.Participation in the Games is looked on not only as an achievement, but also as an honour.The 16 days between August 13 and 29 will see a record 202 countries compete, up from Sydney's 199.Afghanistan is back, having been banned from Sydney because the Taliban government didn't let women do sports.There is also a place for newcomers East Timor and Kiribati.A total of 10,500 athletes will compete in 28 sports, watched by 5.3 million ticket-paying viewers as well as a television audience of 4 billion.Athens is to use its rich history and culture to make the Olympics as special as possible.The Games will open with cycling events which start in front of the Parthenon and Acropolis monuments.The final event will be a historic men's marathon following the original route run by Phidippides in 490 BC to bring news of victory over the Persians.The ancient stadium at Olympia, first used for the Games nearly three centuries ago, will stage the shot put competitions.And the Panathenian Stadium, where the first modem Olympics was held, is to host the archery（射箭）events.If the well-known ancient sites deliver a great sense of history to the Games, the 39 new venues add a modern touch to the city of Athens.The main Olympic stadium, with a giant glass and steel roof, is the landmark（标志）building of the Olympics.“We believe that we will organize a 'magical' Games,” said Athens 2004 President Gianna Angelopoulos-Daskalaki.“Our history with the Olympic Games goes back nearly 3,000 years, and Athens 2004 could be the best ever.” The World Table Tennis Championships attracts the most interest in Asian countries.A Right

In some regions, certain countries have suffered by adopting misguided policies, often under pressure from International Monetary Fund.First among these is Russia, which in the early 1990s tried to embrace capitalism before first building the institutions that make capitalism work, such as an independent bank system, a system of business law, and an adequate method for collecting taxes.Encouraged by the IMF, the World Bank and the U.S.Department of the Treasury, President Boris Yeltsin's regime privatized the state-owned industrial sector, creating a class of oligarchs（寡头政治集团成员）, who, knowing how unstable conditions were at home, sent their money abroad instead of investing it at home.In contrast, China, the biggest winner from globalization, did not follow the IMF formula.Of the former states of the Soviet bloc, only a few, notably Poland and Hungary, managed to grow, which they did by ignoring IMF advice and adopting expansionary plans, including spending more than they collected in taxes.Botswana and Uganda are also success stories: despite their disadvantages, their countries achieved vigorous growth by creating stable civil societies, liberalizing trade and implementing reforms that ran counter to IMF prescriptions.Japan has a long trading tradition.A Right

【参考答案】1.A 2.A 3.B 4.B 5.C 6.A 7.C Using HIV Virus to Cure Cancer

Scientists are planning to use human immunodeficiency（免疫缺陷）virus（HIV）, one of mankind's most feared viruses, as a carrier of genes which can fight cancer and a range of diseases that cannot be cured.The experts say HIV has an almost perfect ability to avoid the body's immune（免疫的）defenses, making it ideal for carrying replacement genes into patients' bodies, according to the Observer.A team at the California-based Salk Institute, one of the world's leading research centers on biological sciences, has created a special new breed of HIV and has started negotiations with the U.S.Food and Drug Administration（FDA）to begin clinical gene therapy（治疗）trials this year.The first trials are expected to involve patients suffering from cancers that cannot be cured by surgery although project leader Professor Inder Verma said the HIV technique would have “far wider applications”.来源：考试大

The plan remains very likely to cause controversy since it involves making use of a virus which has caused more than 22 million deaths around the world in the past two decades.Verma said that the idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose was “shocking” but the fierce nature of HIV had disappeared by having all six of the potentially deadly genes removed.Illnesses such as various cancers are caused when a gene in a patient's body fails to work properly.In the past two years, breakthroughs in genetics（遗传学）have led gene therapy scientists to try and replace the genes that do not function normally.Unfortunately, the body's immune defenses have been known to attack the modified genes and make them lose their effects before they can start their task and progress in the field has been held up by the lack of a suitable carrier.'

The HIV virus has the ability to escape from, and.then destroy, the immune defense cells designed to protect our bodies and this makes it attractive to scientists as a way of secretly conveying replacement genes into patients' bodies.FDA has approved the plan of using HIV to cure cancer in humans

C Not mentioned The idea of using HIV for a beneficial purpose has been widely accepted.A Right

B Wrong

C Not mentioned HIV can be safely used to cure cancer only if the deadly genes have been removed

What are special effects? Do you enjoy movies that use a lot of special effects?

Dinosaurs（恐龙）from the distant past!Space battles from the distant future!There has been a revolution in special effects, and it has transformed the movies we see.来源：www.xiexiebang.com

The revolution began in the mid-1970s with George Lucas's Star Wars, a film that stunnd（使震惊）audiences.That revolution continues to the present, with dramatic changes in special-effects technology.The company behind these changes is Lucas's Industrial Light & Magic（ILM）.And the man behind the company is Dennis Muren, who has worked with Lucas since Star Wars.Muren's interest in special effects began very early.At the age of 6, he was photographing toy dinosaurs and spaceships.At 10, he had an 8-millimeter movie camera and was making these things move through stop-motion.（Stop-motion is a process in which objects “are shot with a camera, moved slightly, shot again, and so on.When the shots are put together, the objects appear to move.）

Talk to Muren and you'll understand what ILM is all about: taking on new challenges.By 1989, Muren decided he had pushed the old technology as far as it would go.He saw computer graphics（图像）（CG）technology as the wave of the future and took a year off to master it.With CG technology, images can be scanned into a computer for processing, for example, and many separate shots can be combined into a single image.CG technology has now reached the point, Muren says, where special effects can be used to do just about anything so that movies can tell stories better than ever before.The huge success of Jurassic Park and its sequel（续集）, The Lost World, the stars of which were computer-generated dinosaurs, suggests that this may very well be true.The special-effects revolution began in the mid-1980s with Star Wars.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned ILM is the company responsible for many of the changes in special-effects technology.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Dennis Muren started his schooling at a very early age.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned At the age of 10, Muren was able to use computer graphics technology to make things move.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned By the stop-motion process, many separate shots can be combined into a single image.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Muren feels that with CG technology, special effects can be used to make movies more expressive.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Today's film makers emphasize special effects at the expense of the story.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

Fairy Tales for All the World

This year, the world is marking the 200th anniversary of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen with a wide range of events.Andersen's tales have attracted millions of readers for more than a.century.They continue to be among the best-known works of

world literature.”The Ugly Duckling（小鸭）“ and ”The Little Mermaid（美人鱼）“ are among the most famous.He was born on April 2, 1805, in the slums of Odense, Denmark.His father was a shoemaker and his mother worked as a washer-woman.Andersen received very little education, but his fascination with fairy tales inspired him to compose his own stories and arrange puppet（木偶）shows.His father died when he was 11.He was forced to go to work, first as an apprentice to a weaver and tailor and then in a tobacco factory.At the age of 14, he moved to Copenhagen to try a career as a singer, dancer and actor.He sang in a boy's choir（合唱团）;,but he made very little money.He also tried the ballet, but his awkwardness made this impossible.Finally, when he was 17, Jonas Collin, a director of the Royal Theatre in Copenhage0 discovered Andersen.After hearing Andersen read a play, Collin realized that he had talent.And he got money from the king for Andersen's education.In 1828, Andersen passed the entrance examinations to the university in Copenhagen.His writings were first published in 1829.In 1833, he received grant money for travel, which he used to visit, Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy.These journeys were recorded in his travelogues（旅行见闻）.In 1835, Andersen published ”Fairy Tales for Children,“ which confined four short stories.He eventually wrote around 168 fairy tales.They achieved success in his life-time and were widely published and translated.Unhappiness also found its way into many of his tales which were not meant merely for children but for adults as well.He used very simple language and style to disguise the moral teachings of his tales.Andersen also wrote novels, plays and poems.He died at his home in Rolighed on August 4, 1875.Andersen died on April 4 1875.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Chinese children are particularly fond of Andersen's tales.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Andersen was not a good ballet dancer.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Collin managed to get money for Andersen to receive more education

A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Andersen's fairy tales didn't achieve success until after he died.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Andersen's novels, plays and poems are not well-known.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

7.C Friendship

Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don't clearly understand how we make friends.While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very fewthey often talk about ”being on the same wavelength“.It generally takes time to reach this point;sometimes people ”click" immediately.The more intimately involved people become, the more they rely on one another.People want to do friends favours and hate to let them down.Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with irritating habits, and to tolerate differences of opinion.Imagine going camping with someone you occasionally meet for a drink!

In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies, no rituals to strengthen the association between two people.But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a powerful bond, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.The average student has about six friends

A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Two people can be considered friends so long as they care for each other and like being together.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Favourable first impressions count for a lot in making friends.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned Shy people tend to misinterpret other people's facial expressions.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned In all cases, close friends have similar beliefs and interests.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned The degree of intimacy between friends is largely determined by their social status.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned There are apparently no bonds between friends as there are between husband and wife.A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

What Is Giobalization ?

It was the anti—globalization movement that really put globalization on the map.As a word it has existed since the 1 960s，but the protests against this allegedly new process，which its opponents condemn as a way of ordering people’S lives，brought globalization out of the financial and academic worlds and into everyday current affairs.()

In the late 1 980s and early 1 990s.the business model called the“globalized”financial market came to be seen as an entity that could have more than just an economic impact on the parts of the world it touched.Globalization came to be seen as more than simply a way of doing business，or running financial markets—it became a process.From then on the word took on a life of its own.So how does the globalized market work? It is modern communications that make it possible;for

the British service sector to deal with its customers through a call centre in India，or for a sportswear(运动服)manufacturer to design its products in Europe，make them in south.east Asia and sell them in north America.()

But this is where the anti—globalization side gets stuck in(关注).If these practices replace domestic economic life with an economy that is heavily influenced or controlled from overseas.then the creation of a globalized economic model and the process of globalization can also be seen as a surrender of power to the corporations，or a means of keeping poorer nations in their place。

Not everyone agrees that globalization is necessarily evil，or that globalized

corporations are running the lives of individuals or are more powerful than nations.Some say that the spread of globalization，free markets and free trade into the developing world is the best way to beat poverty—the only problem is that free markets and free()trade do not yet truly exist.Globalization can be seen as a positive，negative or even marginal process.And regardless of whether it works for good or ill，globalization’S exact meaning will continue to be the subject of debate among those who oppose，support or simply observe it。

A New Citizenship Test Last week a sample of the new US citizenship(公民身份)exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services(US—CLS).It will be tried out in 1 0 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008.Instead of asking how many stripes the USflag has，as the current test does，the new one asks why there are 13 stripes。Instead ofhaving to name the branches of government，an applicant is asked to explain why thereare three.“The goal is to make it more meaningful.”explains Emilio Gonzalez，director of theUS—CIS。Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better“understanding and respect”for US civic(公民的)values，Gonzalez says.The US isn’t the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a“ sharedcommitment”from immigrants for their adopted country’s“values”，In recent years，Inaddition to the usual requirement of language/work skills and economic status-severalEuropean countries have adopted citizenship tests.Britain introduced a new citizenshiptest last November.In March，a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would—beimmigrants to take a citizenship test.It involved watching a video showing nude(裸体的)women bathing at beaches and gay(同性恋的)men kissing in public.The aim was toensure that“newcomers will be comfortable with the country’S liberal social mores(风俗)”.Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades.But，today，the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they becomehostile to each other.Promoting integration has become a major concern for Europeancountries.after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes(少数民族聚居区)in France and the killingof Dutch public figures by religious extremists.Officials believe that a person’s attachment to a country can be tested by his or herknowledge of the country.However，some critics say that the changes can do little to helppeople’assimilate(同化)themselves.“Immigration is a culture war today-Is giving a newtest the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?”says Ali Noorani，of theMassachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition(难民辩护联盟)paragraph 2___________ paragraph 3___________ paragraph 4___________ paragraph 5___________

第一篇Centers of the Great European Cities

The centers of the great cities of Europe are meeting places by tradition-People gather there to drink coffee and chat late into the night.A mixture of locals and tourists make for an exciting，metropolitan atmosphere.Squares，plazas(广场)and arcades(拱廊)form the heart of Europe’s cities.Venice in Italy has the Piazza San Marco—a beautiful square surrounded by shops，churches，restaurants and caf6s.In Barcelona，Spain，LaBosqueria is a lively market with hundreds of stalls selling all kinds of goods.London’s Covent Garden is filled with fruit and vegetable stalls by day and musicians，acrobats(杂技演员)and artists by night.The government buildings at the center of many cities often are architecturally impressive.In London，they serve as a beautiful backdrop(背景)to the coffee tables that line the streets and the banks of the Thames.These vibrant(有活力的)hearts are the product of centuries of evolution，social historian Joel Garreau told US News and World Report recently.“The reason people think Venice is so great today is you don’t see all the mistakes，”said Garreau-“ Those have all been removed.”Most European cities were laid out before the invention of the car, so bars.restaurants and cafes were near to，people’s homes.Today，the focus of many Europeans’life has moved away from the centers.They live in the suburbs and outskirts，driving to supermarkets to get their supplies.But on a continent where people treasure convention，there are still those who hold onto traditional ways，living and shopping locally.These people.together with tourists，provide the city centers with the reason for existence.Coffee culture plays a part in keeping these city centers flourishing.this is Particularly true of Paris whose citizens are famous enthusiastic conversationalists this skill is developed over many hours spent chatting over espressos(浓咖啡)and cigarettes.Religion also plays a role in developing sociable atmosphere.People In Roman Catholic countries used to visit the Church on an almost daily basis.Entire communities would gather in the same building and then move out to the markets.cafes and bars In the surrounding streets.An enormous example of this relationship between church and society is the Duomo。The huge marble cathedral in Florence，Italy IS surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops，and caters not only to the tourist crowds，but also the local community.31.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that each big city in Europe

You hear this：“No wonder you are fat.All you ever do is eat.”You feel sad：t “I skip my breakfast and supper.I run every morning and evening.What else can I do?”Basically you can do nothing。

Your genes，not your life habits，determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it.Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that，“80 percent of the children of two obese(肥胖的)parents become obese，as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight.”

How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well，dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous.Jules Hirsch，a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people。They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.After more than 1 0 weeks，the subjects lost 45ka on average.But after leaving the hospital，they all regained weight.The results were surprising：by metabolic(新陈代谢的)measurement，fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving.They had psychiatric problems.They dreamed of food or breaking their diet.They were anxious and depressed;some were suicidal.They hid food in their rooms.Researchers warn that it is possible that weight reduction doesn'tresult In normal weight，but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non—obese people.Thin people，however, suffer from the opposjte ：They have to make a great effort to gain weight.Ethan Sims，of the University of Vermont，got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight?In four to six months，they ate as much as they could.They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 to 25 percent。But months after the study ended.they were back to normal weight and stayed there.This does not mean that people are completely without hope in controlling their weight.It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly baffle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight。the findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true—each person has a comfortable weight range.The range might be as much as 9kg.Someone might weigh 60_69kg without too much effort.But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult.The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to push the weight back to the range it seeks.36.What determines your weight?

A.Your working manner

B.Your eating habit。

C.Your life style.D.Your genes.37.What did Jules Hirsch do to the eight fat people in his study?

A.He let them skip supper

B.He let them skip breakfast.C.He let them run every morning and evening.D.He gave them a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.38.What happened to the eight fat people after they left the hospital?

A.They went mad.B.They killed themselves.C.They were back to normal weight.D.They attempted suicide.39.Ethan Sims made his subjects

A.battle their genetic inheritance

B.increase their weight.C.suffer from hunger

D.lower their weight.40.What did scientists think was true?

A.Each person has a fixed weight range.B.Each person has a weight range of 9kg.C.Each person wants to control his or her weight.D.Each person wants to eat to his or her heart’s content

第三篇 Shaming Punishments

Last month，James Connolly，a junior at the University of Massachusetts，stood in front of a local police station wearing a toga(长袍)as punishment.His crime? He was charged with underage drinking，illegal possession of alcohol and excessive noise while holding a party.This shaming punishment has increased in the US in recent years，mostly imposed by local judges for less—serious crimes，such as drunk driving and theft.They believe shame is the best petty crime deterrent(威慑).For example，in Tennessee，Judge James McKenzie has made shoplifters(商店货物扒手)stand outside Wal — Mart with signs that read，“I am a thief put here by order of Judge McKenzie”，“Alternative punishments like community service and fines don’t convey moral condemnation(谴责)of the criminal，”said Dan Kahan，a University of Chicago Law School professor ,in an article published on the university’S website.“They aren’t shameful enough。”

Shaming punishments are sometimes called Scarlet(红色的)Letter punishments.The name comes from US author Nathaniel Hawthorne’S 1850 novel The Scarlet Letter.In this novel，a woman is forced to wear a scarlet “A”on her clothes as punishment forher adultery(通奸).However, University of Iowa law professor Andrew Hosmanek said there is an important difference between the shaming punishments of colonial America and those assigned in states like Tennessee.“Early societies often had are— acceptance’ ceremony to welcome the offender back into main society,”says Hosmanek.“Contemporary punishments in America lack this.”

Supporters of shaming punishment argue that public shaming is a good way of expressing community values。Some judges say shamed offenders seldom repeat their crimes.Others aren’t SO sure。“There is little evidence to suggest that shaming punishments are successful in preventing people from committing specific crimes.And a shamed criminal may face a hard battle to regain credibility in society，”said Hosmanek.“So，a shaming punishment may force the offender into more crimes to support himself.”

Experts also debate shaming punishment’S damage to human dignity.“Since the point is to shame，it's of course degrading(侮辱人格的)，”said Linda Malone，director of the Human Rights and National Security Law Programme at William and Mary Law School.“US law only prohibits punishment that is‘cruel and unusual’一not‘inhuman and degrading’.it's very difficult for a thief to prove that holding a sign in front of Wal-Mart is ‘cruel and unusual’.”
