That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 16 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, 17 , I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the 18 , having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something 19 in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 20 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its 21 and a basket of rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He 22 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 23 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts 24 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 25 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 26 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 27 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 28 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 29 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of 30 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 31 the windscreen（挡风玻璃）, then standing back to admire it; scrubbing（擦净）the wheels and 32 , standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.
It was a 33 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 34 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 35 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

A
Years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years in the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1, 064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport.
36. The first games for the disabled were held _____
after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.
A. 40 years B. 21 years
C. 10 years D. 9 years
37. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for
the disabled were once held in _____.
A. New York B. London
C. Rome D. Los Angeles
38. This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann
______.
A. is an early organizer of the games for the dis-
abled
B. is welcomed by the British government
C. is an injured soldier
D. is from England
39. From the passage, we may know that the
writer is _____.
A. one of the organizers of the games for the dis-
abled
B. a disabled person who once took part in the
games
C. against holding the games for the disabled
D. in favour of holding the games for the disabled
B
Basketball is one sport—perhaps the only sport—whose exact origin can safely be told. During the winter of 1891-1892, Dr James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season. He attached fruit baskets overhead on the walls at opposite ends of the gymnasium, and, using a soccer ball, organized nine-man teams to play his new game. In this new game the purpose was to shoot the ball into one basket and try to keep the opposite team from shooting the ball into the other basket. Although there have been many changes in the rules (such as the reduction of the number of players on a team from nine to five), the game is basically the same today. The United States soldiers took it to the Philippines in 1900 and to Europe during World War Ⅰ, and, being adopted by foreign countries it soon became a world-wide sport. It is interesting that although basketball was made as an indoor game, in other countries it is now played almost entirely outdoors.
40. Basketball was started _________.
A. in Europe
B. in the Philippines

D. in a place not mentioned

cording to the passage.

B. Why Dr James Naismith invented basketball.
C. How basketball came into being.
D. Why basketball is popular all over the world.
C
Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.
An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings（收视率）are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.
44. Television sport programs on weekend after-
noons ______.
A. result in more sport events
B. get more viewers to play sports
C. make more people interested in television
D. bring more money to the television networks
45. Why would weekend afternoons become dead
time without sport programs
A. Because there would be few viewers.
B. Because the advertisers would be off work.
C. Because television programs would go slowly.
D. Because viewers would pay less for watching
television.
46. In many families, men make decisions on
_______.
A. holiday trips
B. sports viewing
C. television shopping
D. expensive purchases
47. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis
programs because ______.
A. their advertisers are carmakers
B. their viewers are attracted by sports
C. their advertisers target at rich people
D. their viewers can afford expensive cars
48. What is the passage mainly about
A. Television ratings are determined by male
viewers.
B. Rich viewers contribute most to television
companies.
C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on
television.
D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors
of sport events.
D
They have frightened some and attracted others. They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games.
Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots. Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012. And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs. Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event. Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors.
Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics. People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee.
The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began.
The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels. No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys.
The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base. We want them to engage with young people. They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want.”
Young fans like their mascots to come with a back-story. Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.
Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children. Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: “I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”
49. The two mascots are designed to have one eye
each to represent _______.
A. a London taxi light
B. a camera to record great events
C. a medal they will win
D. the Olympic color
50. One of the mascots is called Wenlock because
________.
A. a famous cartoon figure is called Wenlock
B. it is the name of the village considered to be
the birthplace of the modern Olympics
C. the first modern Olympic Games took place in
the small village
D. the Paralympic movement began in the small
village
51. Which of the following statements is TRUE ac-
cording to the passage
A. The mascots are made from the last drops of
molten steel left over from the construction of
the Olympic Stadium.
B. The mascots are designed and created by
young people.
C. The mascots are mainly designed for the orga-
nizers’ business strategy.
D. Ten-year-old Kira liked the two mascots of the
London Olympic Games.

附加题
根据短文内容回答问题
“Most experiences of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention,” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded（编码）it deeply.”
“Encoding,” Schacter explains, “is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impression on recalling it later.” Failure to encode properly can create troublesome situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your cupboard. “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.
“Visual cues（视觉提示）can help prevent absent-mindedness,” says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available. If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.”
Another common experience of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is ___________________________________ before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.”
1. What are the main causes of absent-mindedness （within 10 words）
_________________________________________
2. You come home every day but you may not re-
member the number of steps on the stairs．Why （within 20 words）
________________________________________
3. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph with
proper words．（within 10 words）
________________________________________
答案与解析
1. D deserve后接doing，主动表示被动。
2. A There’s no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”，为固定句式。
3. C appoint“任命，委派”，符合句意。
4. C 句意为“你明天早上忙吗？如果不忙的话，你能替我开个会吗？”if not“如果不的话”，not替代前面意思的否定情况，符合句意。if so“如果这样的话”，so替代前面意思的肯定情况；if necessary“如果有必要的话”；if only“要是……就好了”，均不符合句意。
5. B 考查动词词义辨析。commit“犯（错误等）”；connect“连接”；contact“联系”；confirm“证实”。由题意可知B项正确。
6. C 句意：“我没买到足球赛的门票。”“别担心。今晚将会有现场直播，不要错过了。”live作副词时，意为“现场直播地，现场演出地”。
7. C draw attention to是固定搭配，意为“引起对……的注意”。
8. C 句意：“生活就像在雪地里行走一样，”奶奶以前常常说，“因为每走一步都能看得到。”引号部分是奶奶眼里的人生感悟，是哲理性的，再加上前面直接引语部分的时态是现在时，所以应该选择C项。
9. C 句意为“彼得不喜欢戴表，他总是迟到”。all the time“一直，总是”，符合题意。at no time“从来都不”；at a time“一次”；at one time“曾经”。
10. D grow up“长大”，符合题意。
11. D quantity“数量”；progress“前进，进步，进展”；production“生产，产量”；demand“要求，需要”。句意为“《哈利·波特》系列图书很受欢迎；它们在这个城市里需求量很大”。be in great demand“需求量很大”。
12. B 句意为“很多人经常忘记设计口语测试是用来检测我们的交际能力的”。oral exams与design之间为被动关系，故选B。
13. B on behalf of“代表，为了”；on the basis of“在……的基础上，根据”；on the side of“赞助，站在……一边”；on top of“在……上面”。根据句意可知选B。
14. C 此处bridge用作动词，意为“填补”。break“打破，违反”；line“排列，画线”；combine“（使）结合，（使）联合”。句意为“事实上，信息技术可以填补贫富之间的差距，因为他们都可以同时得到他们想要的信息”。
15. D 句意：“你喜欢那座城市吗？”“它大而且令人恐惧，但我在那儿住了些日子后，最终还是习惯了。”get used to (doing) sth.“习惯（做）某事”。
16. B 由第一段第一句可知，假日的早上“我”不用去上学，而根据第一段最后一句可知，在这样一个特别的早上，“我”想早起，这说明“我”在假期的早上通常是不会早起的，所以可以推断，在假日，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床。
17. C 由上文可知，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床，尽
管如此，“我”很想在这个特别的早上早起床。
前后语意为转折关系，所以用however。
18. A 由下文对擦车工擦车的描述可知，作者所观
察的是一处停车场，而不是“公共汽车站”“学
校”和“市场”。
19. D 由下文可知，作者学到的是对人生有用的东西，最后一段最后一句中的usefully是提示词。
20. A “我”在窗前观察着走过的几个人，看着他
们进入他们的汽车并驾车离去，而与此同时，
“留意到/注意到”一个骑自行车的老人（因与
众不同而留意/注意）。
21. B 由本句的后半句可知，老人的抹布和瓶子放
在后边的车架上，那么他的水桶是挂在自行车的车把上。这是描述这位擦车工骑自行车带着他的
擦车工具的情形。
22. C 老人从一辆车移动到另一辆，给车做清洁工
作。
23. D 从地上的水来推断，老人已经完成12辆或
者更多车的擦洗工作了。finish doing sth.做完
某事，为固定搭配。
24. A 句意：在我观察老人工作的时候，几个想法
浮现出来。cross one’s mind（想法）浮上心头，
为固定搭配。
25. C 从上句He wasn’t well-dressed.可知，老人
穿得不是很好，由此可以推断老人穿了一件朴
素的T恤衫。
26. D 老人骑的自行车也绝对不是现在骑自行车
的人想在大街上骑的那一种。自行车一定是“骑
自行车的人”骑，而非“修理人员”“商人”和
“汽车驾驶员”。
27. B 前文描述了老人的穿着很朴素，骑的自行车
也很老旧，但是老人对生活很是满意。其中but
是提示词。
28. A 在他辛勤工作的时候，他还和经过的路人挥
手打招呼。只有“打招呼”才能吸引人过来聊
天。
29. C 而且不时地和老人们交谈。“与……聊天”
用chat with表示。
30. D 他好像对他所做的工作有一种易于让人觉
察的骄傲感。根据下文的描述“老人在擦完挡
风玻璃后进行欣赏，擦净轮子后看擦得怎么样”
可知，老人对自己的工作有一种自豪感。
31. A 擦完挡风玻璃，他会往后站来欣赏一下。老
人是一个擦车工，因此在这儿是指“擦洗”挡
风玻璃。
32. C 擦干净轮子以后，他又往后站去看轮子在他
擦过以后是什么样子。前面提到“擦完挡风玻
璃后欣赏自己的成果”，而这一次“欣赏”是又
一次，所以用again。
33. A “我”感觉这是我学到的一课。作者是一名
学生，在现实生活中，他从擦车老人的忙碌过程中学到一课。
34. B 如果身体健康并愿意工作，人在任何年纪都
不应该靠乞讨为生。
35. D 这一部分呼应开头——“我”假期早上通常
在睡觉，“我”为年轻的自己无所事事而感到羞
愧。
36. D 细节理解题。从第二段第一句可知在1939年Sir Ludwig Guttmann到达英格兰，从第三段可知在1948年残疾人运动会第一次举行，间隔为9年。
37. C 细节理解题。从第三段第五句“In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games.”可知。
38. B 细节理解题。从第二段第一句“Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.”可知，他受英国政府欢迎。
39. D 作者态度题。文章最后一段说到残奥会的意义，可以看出作者是支持该项活动的。
40. C 细节理解题。根据文中第二句“During the winter of 1891-1892, Dr James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season.”可知，篮球起源于美国。
41. D 细节理解题。由文中“... organized nine-man teams to play his new game.”可知，篮球队最初由9人组成。
42. B 推理判断题。根据文中最后一句话“It is interesting that although basketball was made as an indoor game, in other countries it is now played almost entirely outdoors.”可知，室内篮球主要是在美国进行。
43. C 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了篮球的起源。
44. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices...”可知，周末下午的电视体育节目给电视网络带来了更多的收益，故选D。
45. A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing.”可知，如果没有体育节目，电视观众会很少，故选A。
46. D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.”可知，电脑、汽车和保险之类贵重的东西通常由男性做主，故选D。
47. C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，高尔夫球赛和网球赛的观众大都是高收入人群，它们的广告瞄准（target at）的是rich people，所以收视率低对它们并没有关系。
48. C 主旨大意题。本文主要是讲体育赛事决定电视台的收视率，从而也决定了电视广告的收入，再根据本文主题句（topic sentence）即第一段第一句“Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies.”可知选C项。
49. B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012.”可知选B。
50. B 细节理解题。根据第三段开头的“Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics.”可知选B。
51. D 细节理解题。由全文最后一句“Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: ‘I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!’”可知选D。
One possible version:
Dear London Olympic Committee,
I have read your poster for recruiting volunteers. I think I am fit for the job. I’d like to recommend myself.
I am an 18-year-old boy, a Senior 3 student, studying in Xinhua Middle School. I have been learning English for ten years and I am good at oral English. I am able to communicate with foreigners in English fluently. Above all, I love sports games and I am familiar with many sports events. I will study in Eton College in 2012 because I have passed the test for exchange students this summer. Besides, I have the ability to communicate and get along well with others. I firmly believe I can do a good job if I am lucky enough to be accepted.
Look forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 16 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, 17 , I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the 18 , having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something 19 in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and drive off, I 20 an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its 21 and a basket of rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He 22 from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already 23 washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts 24 my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) 25 T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern 26 would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed 27 with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, 28 at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then 29 elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of 30 in the way he seemed to be doing things— 31 the windscreen（挡风玻璃）, then standing back to admire it; scrubbing（擦净）the wheels and 32 , standing back to see what they looked like after the scrub.
It was a 33 to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a 34 if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt 35 of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

Years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.
Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years in the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1, 064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part. Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can’t enjoy sport.
36. The first games for the disabled were held _____
after Sir Ludwig Guttmann arrived in England.
A. 40 years B. 21 years
C. 10 years D. 9 years
37. Besides Stoke Mandeville, surely the games for
the disabled were once held in _____.
A. New York B. London
C. Rome D. Los Angeles
38. This text tells us that Sir Ludwig Guttmann
______.
A. is an early organizer of the games for the dis-
abled
B. is welcomed by the British government
C. is an injured soldier
D. is from England
39. From the passage, we may know that the
writer is _____.
A. one of the organizers of the games for the dis-
abled
B. a disabled person who once took part in the
games
C. against holding the games for the disabled
D. in favour of holding the games for the disabled

Basketball is one sport—perhaps the only sport—whose exact origin can safely be told. During the winter of 1891-1892, Dr James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season. He attached fruit baskets overhead on the walls at opposite ends of the gymnasium, and, using a soccer ball, organized nine-man teams to play his new game. In this new game the purpose was to shoot the ball into one basket and try to keep the opposite team from shooting the ball into the other basket. Although there have been many changes in the rules (such as the reduction of the number of players on a team from nine to five), the game is basically the same today. The United States soldiers took it to the Philippines in 1900 and to Europe during World War Ⅰ, and, being adopted by foreign countries it soon became a world-wide sport. It is interesting that although basketball was made as an indoor game, in other countries it is now played almost entirely outdoors.

Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies. Many television companies have used sports to attract viewers from particular sections of the general public, and then they have sold audiences to advertisers.
An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing. Sport events are the most popular weekend programs, especially among male viewers who may not watch much television at other times during the week. This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices during what normally would be dead time for programming.
Media corporations also use sports to attract commercial sponsors that might take their advertising dollars elsewhere if television stations did not report certain sports. The people in the advertising departments of major corporations realize that sports attract male viewers. They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.
Golf and tennis are special cases for television programming. These sports attract few viewers, and the ratings（收视率）are unusually low. However, the audience for these sports is attractive to certain advertisers. It is made up of people from the highest income groups in the United States, including many lawyers and business managers. This is why television reporting of golf and tennis is sponsored by companies selling high-priced cars, business and personal computers, and holiday trips. This is also why the networks continue to carry these programs regardless of low ratings. Advertisers are willing to pay high fees to reach high-income consumers and those managers who make decisions to buy thousands of “company cars” and computers. With such viewers, these programs don’t need high ratings to stay on the air.
44. Television sport programs on weekend after-
noons ______.
A. result in more sport events
B. get more viewers to play sports
C. make more people interested in television
D. bring more money to the television networks
45. Why would weekend afternoons become dead
time without sport programs
A. Because there would be few viewers.
B. Because the advertisers would be off work.
C. Because television programs would go slowly.
D. Because viewers would pay less for watching
television.
46. In many families, men make decisions on
_______.
A. holiday trips
B. sports viewing
C. television shopping
D. expensive purchases
47. The ratings are not important for golf and tennis
programs because ______.
A. their advertisers are carmakers
B. their viewers are attracted by sports
C. their advertisers target at rich people
D. their viewers can afford expensive cars
48. What is the passage mainly about
A. Television ratings are determined by male
viewers.
B. Rich viewers contribute most to television
companies.
C. Sports are gaining importance in advertising on
television.
D. Commercial advertisers are the major sponsors
of sport events.

They have frightened some and attracted others. They are Wenlock and Mandeville, mascots of the London Olympic Games.
Since both of them have a camera for an eye, they are called one-eyed mascots. Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012. And they both have a taxi light on their heads, like the world-famous London black cabs. Wenlock’s head shape is meant to represent an Olympic podium and the three medals won in each event. Mandeville’s head features the three Paralympic colors.
Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics. People think its local games inspired Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who founded the International Olympic Committee.
The other mascot’s name is a reference to the village of Stoke Mandeville, where the Paralympic movement began.
The mascots are a central part of London’s business strategy and will feature in everything from T-shirts to tea towels. No doubt they will be seen under children’s arms as their favorite toys.
The 2012 Committee Chairman, Sebastian Coe, said, “We want them to be part of our fan base. We want them to engage with young people. They have in large part been designed and driven by what young people want.”
Young fans like their mascots to come with a back-story. Children’s author Michael Morpurgo came up with the idea that the mascots origin was from the last drops of molten steel left over from the construction of the Olympic Stadium.
Adults and organizers might argue but the most important audience for Wenlock and Mandeville are children. Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: “I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!”
49. The two mascots are designed to have one eye
each to represent _______.
A. a London taxi light
B. a camera to record great events
C. a medal they will win
D. the Olympic color
50. One of the mascots is called Wenlock because
________.
A. a famous cartoon figure is called Wenlock
B. it is the name of the village considered to be
the birthplace of the modern Olympics
C. the first modern Olympic Games took place in
the small village
D. the Paralympic movement began in the small
village
51. Which of the following statements is TRUE ac-
cording to the passage
A. The mascots are made from the last drops of
molten steel left over from the construction of
the Olympic Stadium.
B. The mascots are designed and created by
young people.
C. The mascots are mainly designed for the orga-
nizers’ business strategy.
D. Ten-year-old Kira liked the two mascots of the
London Olympic Games.

根据短文内容回答问题
“Most experiences of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention,” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded（编码）it deeply.”
“Encoding,” Schacter explains, “is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major impression on recalling it later.” Failure to encode properly can create troublesome situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your cupboard. “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment, and memory relies on just that.
“Visual cues（视觉提示）can help prevent absent-mindedness,” says Schacter. “But be sure the cue is clear and available. If you want to remember to take a medicine with lunch, put the pill bottle on the kitchen table—don’t leave it in the medicine box and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.”
Another common experience of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. “The best thing to do is ___________________________________ before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.”
1. What are the main causes of absent-mindedness （within 10 words）
_________________________________________
2. You come home every day but you may not re-
member the number of steps on the stairs．Why （within 20 words）
________________________________________
3. Complete the sentence in the last paragraph with
proper words．（within 10 words）

答案与解析
1. D deserve后接doing，主动表示被动。
2. A There’s no doubt that...“毫无疑问……”，为固定句式。
3. C appoint“任命，委派”，符合句意。
4. C 句意为“你明天早上忙吗？如果不忙的话，你能替我开个会吗？”if not“如果不的话”，not替代前面意思的否定情况，符合句意。if so“如果这样的话”，so替代前面意思的肯定情况；if necessary“如果有必要的话”；if only“要是……就好了”，均不符合句意。
5. B 考查动词词义辨析。commit“犯（错误等）”；connect“连接”；contact“联系”；confirm“证实”。由题意可知B项正确。
6. C 句意：“我没买到足球赛的门票。”“别担心。今晚将会有现场直播，不要错过了。”live作副词时，意为“现场直播地，现场演出地”。
7. C draw attention to是固定搭配，意为“引起对……的注意”。
8. C 句意：“生活就像在雪地里行走一样，”奶奶以前常常说，“因为每走一步都能看得到。”引号部分是奶奶眼里的人生感悟，是哲理性的，再加上前面直接引语部分的时态是现在时，所以应该选择C项。
9. C 句意为“彼得不喜欢戴表，他总是迟到”。all the time“一直，总是”，符合题意。at no time“从来都不”；at a time“一次”；at one time“曾经”。
10. D grow up“长大”，符合题意。
11. D quantity“数量”；progress“前进，进步，进展”；production“生产，产量”；demand“要求，需要”。句意为“《哈利·波特》系列图书很受欢迎；它们在这个城市里需求量很大”。be in great demand“需求量很大”。
12. B 句意为“很多人经常忘记设计口语测试是用来检测我们的交际能力的”。oral exams与design之间为被动关系，故选B。
13. B on behalf of“代表，为了”；on the basis of“在……的基础上，根据”；on the side of“赞助，站在……一边”；on top of“在……上面”。根据句意可知选B。
14. C 此处bridge用作动词，意为“填补”。break“打破，违反”；line“排列，画线”；combine“（使）结合，（使）联合”。句意为“事实上，信息技术可以填补贫富之间的差距，因为他们都可以同时得到他们想要的信息”。
15. D 句意：“你喜欢那座城市吗？”“它大而且令人恐惧，但我在那儿住了些日子后，最终还是习惯了。”get used to (doing) sth.“习惯（做）某事”。
16. B 由第一段第一句可知，假日的早上“我”不用去上学，而根据第一段最后一句可知，在这样一个特别的早上，“我”想早起，这说明“我”在假期的早上通常是不会早起的，所以可以推断，在假日，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床。
17. C 由上文可知，妈妈允许我晚一点儿起床，尽
管如此，“我”很想在这个特别的早上早起床。
前后语意为转折关系，所以用however。
18. A 由下文对擦车工擦车的描述可知，作者所观
察的是一处停车场，而不是“公共汽车站”“学
校”和“市场”。
19. D 由下文可知，作者学到的是对人生有用的东西，最后一段最后一句中的usefully是提示词。
20. A “我”在窗前观察着走过的几个人，看着他
们进入他们的汽车并驾车离去，而与此同时，
“留意到/注意到”一个骑自行车的老人（因与
众不同而留意/注意）。
21. B 由本句的后半句可知，老人的抹布和瓶子放
在后边的车架上，那么他的水桶是挂在自行车的车把上。这是描述这位擦车工骑自行车带着他的
擦车工具的情形。
22. C 老人从一辆车移动到另一辆，给车做清洁工
作。
23. D 从地上的水来推断，老人已经完成12辆或
者更多车的擦洗工作了。finish doing sth.做完
某事，为固定搭配。
24. A 句意：在我观察老人工作的时候，几个想法
浮现出来。cross one’s mind（想法）浮上心头，
为固定搭配。
25. C 从上句He wasn’t well-dressed.可知，老人
穿得不是很好，由此可以推断老人穿了一件朴
素的T恤衫。
26. D 老人骑的自行车也绝对不是现在骑自行车
的人想在大街上骑的那一种。自行车一定是“骑
自行车的人”骑，而非“修理人员”“商人”和
“汽车驾驶员”。
27. B 前文描述了老人的穿着很朴素，骑的自行车
也很老旧，但是老人对生活很是满意。其中but
是提示词。
28. A 在他辛勤工作的时候，他还和经过的路人挥
手打招呼。只有“打招呼”才能吸引人过来聊
天。
29. C 而且不时地和老人们交谈。“与……聊天”
用chat with表示。
30. D 他好像对他所做的工作有一种易于让人觉
察的骄傲感。根据下文的描述“老人在擦完挡
风玻璃后进行欣赏，擦净轮子后看擦得怎么样”
可知，老人对自己的工作有一种自豪感。
31. A 擦完挡风玻璃，他会往后站来欣赏一下。老
人是一个擦车工，因此在这儿是指“擦洗”挡
风玻璃。
32. C 擦干净轮子以后，他又往后站去看轮子在他
擦过以后是什么样子。前面提到“擦完挡风玻
璃后欣赏自己的成果”，而这一次“欣赏”是又
一次，所以用again。
33. A “我”感觉这是我学到的一课。作者是一名
学生，在现实生活中，他从擦车老人的忙碌过程中学到一课。
34. B 如果身体健康并愿意工作，人在任何年纪都
不应该靠乞讨为生。
35. D 这一部分呼应开头——“我”假期早上通常
在睡觉，“我”为年轻的自己无所事事而感到羞
愧。
36. D 细节理解题。从第二段第一句可知在1939年Sir Ludwig Guttmann到达英格兰，从第三段可知在1948年残疾人运动会第一次举行，间隔为9年。
37. C 细节理解题。从第三段第五句“In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games.”可知。
38. B 细节理解题。从第二段第一句“Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.”可知，他受英国政府欢迎。
39. D 作者态度题。文章最后一段说到残奥会的意义，可以看出作者是支持该项活动的。
40. C 细节理解题。根据文中第二句“During the winter of 1891-1892, Dr James Naismith, a college instructor in Springfield, Massachusetts, invented the game of basketball in order to provide exercise for the students between the closing of the football season and the opening of the baseball season.”可知，篮球起源于美国。
41. D 细节理解题。由文中“... organized nine-man teams to play his new game.”可知，篮球队最初由9人组成。
42. B 推理判断题。根据文中最后一句话“It is interesting that although basketball was made as an indoor game, in other countries it is now played almost entirely outdoors.”可知，室内篮球主要是在美国进行。
43. C 主旨大意题。全文主要介绍了篮球的起源。
44. D 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“This means the television networks are able to sell advertising time at relatively high prices...”可知，周末下午的电视体育节目给电视网络带来了更多的收益，故选D。
45. A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句“An attraction of sport programs for the major U.S. media companies is that events are often held on Saturday and Sunday afternoons—the slowest time periods of the week for general television viewing.”可知，如果没有体育节目，电视观众会很少，故选A。
46. D 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“They also realize that most business travelers are men and that many men make family decisions on the purchases of computers, cars and life insurance.”可知，电脑、汽车和保险之类贵重的东西通常由男性做主，故选D。
47. C 推理判断题。由最后一段可知，高尔夫球赛和网球赛的观众大都是高收入人群，它们的广告瞄准（target at）的是rich people，所以收视率低对它们并没有关系。
48. C 主旨大意题。本文主要是讲体育赛事决定电视台的收视率，从而也决定了电视广告的收入，再根据本文主题句（topic sentence）即第一段第一句“Sports account for a growing amount of income made on the sales of commercial time by television companies.”可知选C项。
49. B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“Their cameras will capture every great event on their journey to 2012.”可知选B。
50. B 细节理解题。根据第三段开头的“Wenlock is the name of the English village considered by many to be the birthplace of the modern Olympics.”可知选B。
51. D 细节理解题。由全文最后一句“Ten-year-old Kira, from Essex in England, wrote to the BBC to say: ‘I think they are lovely! I love the Olympics and so does my sister!’”可知选D。
One possible version:
Dear London Olympic Committee,
I have read your poster for recruiting volunteers. I think I am fit for the job. I’d like to recommend myself.
I am an 18-year-old boy, a Senior 3 student, studying in Xinhua Middle School. I have been learning English for ten years and I am good at oral English. I am able to communicate with foreigners in English fluently. Above all, I love sports games and I am familiar with many sports events. I will study in Eton College in 2012 because I have passed the test for exchange students this summer. Besides, I have the ability to communicate and get along well with others. I firmly believe I can do a good job if I am lucky enough to be accepted.
Look forward to your reply.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
