?A
An old gentleman who lives a few doors away from me can always be seen with a bag. He goes out by himself and picks up plastic bottles, plastic bags and pieces of paper everywhere. He does it all carefully and never complains.
The children in the nearby school are probably responsible for some of that litter (废弃物)．“There will come a time when they know better，” he said.“It's just not yet. So, I'll do it for them.”
Well, this morning I was out walking my neighbor's dog when I saw another neighbor, a much younger man, out doing the same thing! He had his two little sons with him and they were having good fun trying to pick up the litter.
When I commented on what a good job he was doing, he said, “Well, an older fellow in our street does this. And my friend and I thought it wasn't fair that he had to do it all the time, so now we take turns.”
Not only was he taking a turn, not only did he have a friend join in as well, but he was passing on the lesson to the next generation (代)!
By the time I had returned the dog to my neighbor I looked again and his children's friends had joined in!
This man was teaching a whole group of young children to keep their own street sanitary. An older man had set an example for him and now he was passing it on — the next generation is doing what he did and the generation to come after that!

As the legends (传说) would have it, the Olympic Games, one of the world's largest and greatest international multi-sporting events, were founded by Heracles, the son of Zeus, who was considered one of the most important Olympic gods. The games were part of a religious festival, which were held in honour of Zeus, and were staged every four years at Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis. According to the legends, Heracles first called the games “The Olympics”， and established the custom of holding them every four years.
Written records suggest that the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. During the games a runner called Coroebus, won the 192 meters race to become the first Olympic champion. The games were held in Olympia located in the western part of the Peloponnese, 145 km west of Athens, Greece, and comprised only a few events where any male youngster from the various cities of Greece could participate to show off their physical qualities. The games consisted of contests of music, sports and literature.
The games grew over time and were played every four years for nearly 1200 years. Gradually in due course of time the games lost their hold as the Romans gained power and controlled Greece. At around 393 AD, emperor Theodosius brought the end of the games, saying they were full of pagan (异教徒) influences. This event marked the end of the first generation of Olympic Games known as the Ancient Olympic Games.
The second, known as the Modern Olympic Games came into existence in the late 19th century. Baron Pierre de Coubertin, a French historian, restarted the Olympics in 1894 by forming the International Olympic Committee, which is the governing body of the Olympic movement. The first Modern Olympic Games were held in 1896, in Athens, Greece.

Winter sports are very popular in European and North American countries. These places usually receive a lot of snow during the winter months.
Skiing and skating become the major sports activities for Westerners during the winter. People from Norway, Italy, the United States, Sweden and Canada all like winter sports.
Winter sports such as alpine skiing and skating are very popular because they allow people to keep warm while enjoying outdoors.
People can exercise outdoors in beautiful surroundings: snow-covered mountains and pine trees among endless white snow. Putting oneself into the white world and breathing fresh air, one can relax and forget all worries. Of course, the practice of flying down the hills excites people.
The Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉) in Europe is the_most_ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains (落基山脉) in the Western United States is another good place.
Some people call winter sports “royal sports”. That is because of their high cost. These sports always require expensive equipment. They also need high-standard places to be enjoyed.
Winter sports are not as popular in China. The southern and coastal areas have no skiing and skating. And the snow-blanketed northeastern and southwestern areas have very poor equipment.
But thanks to the efforts of the government, China has caught up with world class competition in short track speed skating. This is also true for women's figure (花样) skating. However, in alpine skiing events, China has a long way to go.
1．Winter sports are popular in places ________.
A．where it rains often
B．near the sea

3．The underlined words “the most ideal” in the fifth paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A．the best B．the farthest
C．the highest D．the most difficult
解析：词义猜测题。根据文章第五段“The Alps (阿尔卑斯山脉) in Europe is the_most_ideal place for skiing. The Rocky Mountains (落基山脉) in the Western United States is another good place.欧洲的阿尔卑斯山脉是最理想的滑雪的地方，美国西部的落基山脉是另一个好地方”。我们可以看出ideal应该和good同义，那么the most ideal就等于the best。
答案：A
4．The writer of this passage is probably a(n) ________.
A．American B．Chinese
C．Russian D．Swiss
解析：推理判断题。通读全文，根据文章最后一段可知，“由于政府的努力，在短道速滑和女子花样滑冰的竞赛中，中国已经赶上了世界先进水平。然而，在高山滑雪的赛事中，中国还有很长的路要走”。我们可以推测作者可能是一个中国人。
