If the Olympic Games are a history of mankind，wrestling(摔跤) is the prologue(序幕)．When the ancient Games of the Olympiad were born，wrestling was already an ancient game.Widely recognized as the world’s oldest competitive sport，wrestling appeared in a series of Egyptian wall paintings as early as 5,000 years ago.When the ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC，more than two thousand years later，it included wrestling and in the years that followed，wrestling featured as the main event.
The sport would return in a similar role when the Olympic Games returned after a 1,500-year absence in 1896.Organizers，seeking direct links to ancient times，found wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world，from Greece，Assyria and Babylon to India，China and Japan.Greco-Roman wrestling，a style which was believed to be passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old was brought back into use.
In Greco-Roman wrestling，the wrestlers used only their arms and upper bodies to attack.They could hold only those same parts of their opponents(对手)．It worked nicely from a historical attitude，but another cheerful and relaxing style was sweeping across Great Britain and the United States by then.Known as “catch as catch can”，it had become popular at fairs and festivals in both countries.
In 1904，the Olympic Games added the second wrestling event and called it “freestyle”．Now，wrestlers could use their legs for pushing，lifting and tripping，and they could hold opponents above or below the waist.
1．The first ancient Games of the Olympiad were held almost ________ years ago.
A．776 B．1,500 C．3,000 D．5,000
2．What does the writer want to tell us by saying wrestling is the prologue?
A．The ancient Olympic Games have a long history.
B．Wrestling was an important game in the ancient Olympic Games.
C．Wrestling is popular all the time.
D．Wrestling has a really long history.
3．Why was Greco-Roman wrestling brought back into use in 1896 when the Olympic Games returned?
A．Organizers wanted to find direct links to ancient times.
B．Wrestling was very popular across much of the ancient world.
C．People believed it was passed down from the Greek and Roman wrestlers of old.
D．All of the above.
4．Concerning wrestling，which of the following is WRONG?
A．Wrestling has a longer history than the ancient Olympic Games.
B．In Greco-Roman wrestling，wrestlers can only use their arms and upper bodies to attack.
C．In 1904，another kind of wrestling took the place of Greco-Roman wrestling.
D．In the Olympic Games，wrestlers can hold opponents above or below the waist now.

The first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens in 1896.There were nine sports：cycling，tennis，gymnastics，swimming，track and field，weightlifting，rowing，wrestling and shooting.Sailing was also to have taken place，but had to be cancelled because of bad weather at sea.
In the first Olympics there were no real team sports.Then，slowly，a few team sports joined the program.Football and hockey were the first team sports introduced into the Olympics in London in 1908.Then in 1936，at the Berlin Olympics，the Germans brought in handball and the Americans had basketball accepted as an Olympic sport.
It often happens that the country that introduces a new sport into the Olympics then goes on to win the gold medals.In 1904，at the Olympics in St.Louis，the Americans introduced boxing and won all seven events.Five horse riding events were introduced into the 1912 Stockholm(斯德哥尔摩) Olympics，and Swedish riders won four of them.And in 1964，at the Tokyo Olympics，two sports which are very popular in Japan were introduced：judo and volleyball.The Japanese won all three gold medals in the judo，and also won the first women’s volleyball competition.Some new sports have recently been added to the Olympics.In Los Angeles，in 1984，baseball was introduced and became an Olympics sport.In Seoul(汉城)，Korea in 1988，table tennis was introduced for the first time，and tennis returned as an Olympics sport.Unlike tennis，some sports，such as golf and rugby(橄榄球)，have been tried in the Olympics but have never returned.

Ⅰ.阅读填空
Some people make you feel comfortable when they are around you.You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life.These people have something in common.__1__
How is it done？Here are several skills that good talkers have.If you follow the skills，they’ll help you put people at their ease and make friends with them quickly.
First of all，good talkers ask questions.Almost anyone，no matter how shy he/she is，will answer questions.One well-known businesswoman said，“At business lunches，I always ask people what they did that morning.It’s a common question，but it will get things going.”__2__ And how he/she answers will let you know how far you can go.
__3__ This point seems clear，but it isn’t.Your questions should have a point and help to tell you what sort of person you are talking to.And to find out that，you really have to listen carefully and attentively.
Real listening at least means the following two aspects.First，it means not to change the subject of conversation.__4__Real listening also means not just listening to words，but to the tones of voice.If the voice sounds dull，then it’s time for you to change the subject.
Finally，good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting.If you’re saying goodbye，you may give him a firm handshake and say，“I’ve really enjoyed talking with you.”__5__ Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their lives.
A．From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions.
B．Second，good talkers always listen before they cut in to respond.

At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney，Australia，China won 28 gold medals，entering the top three of the medal chart for the first time.September 22nd,2000 was named China Day because China won six gold，three silver and one bronze medals that day.
In 2004，the 28th Olympic Games were held in Athens，Greece.Two hundred and two countries took part in the Games.China got the second place with thirty-two gold，seventeen silver and fourteen bronze medals.

Many studies have been conducted to find the deeper benefits of listening to and playing music.The growing field of music treatment is presenting increasing amounts of evidence that point toward the greater powers of music.
Emotional benefits
The right song can put anybody in a better mood.Most people turn to certain songs to improve their moods.The main reason behind it is that music has the ability to express our feelings better than any other medium.In addition，we have favourite songs for particular situations because we tune into the melodies (悦耳的音调) that catch our nerves the best.
Music and exercise
Have you ever noticed how out of breath you get when listening to an exciting song while doing exercise at the gym？It has been suggested that stimulating (刺激的) music can actually increase muscle tension，while sedative (镇定的) music decreases it.
It has also been proved that music can improve motor skills.An experiment conducted on a group of elementary students proved that children learning basic motor skills such as throwing，catching and jumping while listening to music did better than those with no music.
Chronic (慢性的) pain relief
Music has the ability to ease the sense of chronic pain.In fact，according to a paper in the Journal of Advanced Nursing，music can reduce chronic pain by 21%.The paper reports that 60 patients in an experiment were divided into two groups—music and no music.The results showed that people who listened to music for an hour each day for a week had improved physical and psychological diseases compared to those who did not.
64．The best title of the passage is ________.
A．The Study of Music
B．Physical and Mental Benefits of Music
C．How Music Can Help Patients
D．Music Helps to Improve Work Efficiency
65．Why do people turn to songs for better feelings?
A．Because songs have magic.
B．Because listening to music is their hobby.
C．Because they can find comfort in songs.
D．Because music can express their mood well.
66．If we want to have our muscle relaxed，we’d better choose ________.
A．rock and roll
B．some exciting songs
C．some light music
D．classical songs
67．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．music can cure people of muscle pain slowly
B．21% of the patients will recover quickly with music
C．30 experimented patients listen to music daily
D．the 60 patients all have physical and psychological problems
D
Newspapers are an important source of information.Many people begin their days by reading the paper.In this way they learn what is going on in the world.Sometimes，however，they don’t have the time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page，at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines.There are newspapers to satisfy every reader.In big cities there are many types with several different editions every day.In small towns there are few newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day.In some areas the paper is printed weekly.
Most papers have several editions，especially on Sundays when the editions are larger than usual.There are，besides the front page with the most important news，the sports news，the society page，the amusement section，a business page and so on.
68．People read newspapers to ________.
A．learn as much knowledge as they want
B．learn about the most important news
C．get some information
D．learn about whatever they want
69．The underlined word “glance” in Paragraph 1 means “________”．

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
No fight can end，and no friendship can move on，until everyone says these little words “I’m sorry”，though sometimes they can be difficult to say.__71__
It is not about winning.
Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl，and there should never be a winner and a loser.When you start fighting with a friend，it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong，or by making him be the first to apologize.
In reality，you’ll both lose if you let your fight ruin your friendship，and you’ll both win if you find a way to heal it.
__72__
You may have heard the expression “His pride stood in the way”．It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “right” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever.__73__Remember：as time goes on，we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement，and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.
Take the first step.
Are you sick of fighting？Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship？__74__ You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight，or even say that your feelings were wrong.But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for.Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long，or that you overreacted to something your friend did.If you say you’re sorry，it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.__75__
A．Then try to be the first to apologize.
B．Stop thinking about your pride.
C．It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.
D．Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.
E．Here are some things to keep in mind.
F．There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first.
G．Once you’ve both said it，you’ll both feel a million times better.

Most boys in our class like playing computer games.Some of them even think computer games are part of their life.They play computer games not only on weekends but also after school.But as we all know，it is bad for their health if they spend much time in the computer room.Generally their eyesight is much worse than others.The air in the computer room is also not very clean and fresh.And they must feel tired if they play computer games for a long time.All those are harmful to their health.So please give up playing computer games.Try to spend more time on school work.Students can read books or play football instead.It is much more important for them to study hard and keep healthy.
