Going Back to Its Birthplace
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 Timer 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 0rjgihal route
l"un 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 modern 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 modem 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 Gaines goes back nearly 3,000 years,
and Athens 2004 could be the
best ever．”

Even Intelligent People Can
Fail
1 The striking thing
about the innovators who succeeded in making our modern world
is how
often they failed．Turn on
a light，take a photograph，watch TV，search the web，jet across the
Pacific Ocean，talk on a cellphone(手机)．The
innovators who left us these things had to find the
way to success through a maze(错综复杂)of
wrong tarns．
2 we have just celebrated the 125th anniversary of American innovator Thomas Edison’s success in heating a thin
line to white．hot heat for 14 hours in his lab in New Jersey，US．He
did
mat on October 22．1879．and
followed up a month later by keeping a thread of common
cardboard alight(点亮着的)in an
airless space for 45 hours．Three years later he went on t0 light
up half a square mile of downtown
Manhattan，even though only one of the six power plants in
his design worked when he
tamed it on，on September 4，1882．
3 “Many of 1ife’s failures．”the supreme innovator said．“are people who did not realize how close they were to Success
when they gave up”Before that magical moment in October 1879．
Edison had worked out no fewer
than 3，000 theories about electric light，but in only two cases
did
his experiments work．
4 No one likes failure．but the smart innovators 1earn from it Mark Gumz,the head of the camera maker Olympus America
Inc，attributes some of the company’s successes in technology
to understanding failure．His
popular phrase is：“Y0n only fail when you quit．”
5 Over two centuries．the most common quality of the innovators has been persistence That is another way of saying they
had the emotional ability to keep up what they were doing．Walt
Disney,the founder of Disneyland，was
so broke after a succession of financial failures that he
was left shoeless in his office
because he could not afford the US$1．50 to get his shoes from
me
repair shop Pioneering car
maker Henry F0rd failed with one company and was forced out of
another before he developed
the Model T car．
6 Failure is harder to bear in today’s open．accelerated world．Hardly any innovation works the first time．But an impatient
society and the media want instant success．When American
music and movie master David
Geffen had a difficult time．a critic said nastily that the only
difference between Geffen
Records(Geffen’s company)and the Titanic(the ship that went down)
was that the Titanic had better
music Actually，it wasn’t．After four years of losses，Geffen had
80
many hits(成功的作品)he could afford
a ship as big as the Titanic an to himself．
23 Paragraph 2_______ 24 Paragraph 3_______ 25 Paragraph 4_______ 26 Paragraph 5_______ A Importance of Learning from
Failure 27 People often didn't realize
how close they to success when _______. A he developed 3,000 theories 第4部分：阅读理解(第31～45题，每题3分，共45分)

从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案，涂在答题卡相应的位置上。
第一篇
More Than a Ride
to School
The National
Education Association claims．“The school bus is a mirror Of the
community．”
They further add that,unfortunately,what
appears on the exterior(外部)does not always reflect
the reality of a chosen community．They
are right．and sometimes it reflects more!Just ask Liesl
Denson Riding the school bus
has been more than a ride to school for Liesl
Bruce Hardy．sch001
bus driver for Althouse Bus Company has been Liesl’s bus driver
since
kindergarten Last year when
Liesl’s family moved to Parkesburg，knowing her bus went by her
new residence，she requested
to ride the same bus
This year
Liesl is a senior and will enjoy her last year riding the bus．She
says．“It’s been a
great ride so far!My bus driver
is so c001 and has always been a good friend and a good listener．
Sometimes when you’re a child
adults do not think that what you have to say is important．Mr．
Hardy always listens to what
you have to say and makes you feel important．”Her friends Ashley
Batista and Amanda Wolfc agree．
Brace Hardy
has been making Octorara students feel special since 1975．This
year he will
celebrate 30 years working
for Althouse Bus Transportation．Company President。Larry A1thouse
acknowledges Bruce Hardy’s
outstanding record．“You do not come by employees 1ike Bruce
these days；he has never missed
a day of work and has a perfect driving record．Recognized in
2000 by the Pennsylvania School
Bus Association for driving 350，000 accident free miles，
Hardy’s reputation is
made further evident through the relationships he has made with
the
students that ride his bus’’
A1thouse
further added．“Althouse Bus Transportation was established 70
years ago and has
been providing quality transportation
ever since MY grandfather started the business with one
bus．Althouse Bus Transportation
is delighted to have the opportunity to bring distinctive and
safe service to our local
school and community and looks forward to continuing to provide
quality service for many more
years to come．’’
Three generations
of business is not all the company has enjoyed．Thanks to出ivers
like
Bruce Hardy,they have been
building relationships through generations．Liesl’s mother CaroI
also enjoys fond memories
of riding Bruce Hardy’s bus to the Octorara Sch001 District．
31 The word“mirror’’in the first line could be best replaced by A

community with quality service
第二篇 Don’t Count on
Dung
Conservationists(自然保护主义者)may
be miscalculating the numbers of the threatened
animals such as elephants．say
African and American researchers．The error occurs because of a
flaw in the way they estimate animal numbers from the piles of
dung(粪)the creatures leave
behind．
The mistake
could 1ead researchers to think that there are twice as many elephants
as there really are in some regions according to Andrew Plumptre
of the Wildlife Conservation Society(wcs) in New York
Biologist
Katy Payne of Cornell University in Ithaca，New York，agrees．‘‘We
really need to know elephant numbers and the evidence that we
have is quite indirect，”says Payne，who
electronically tracks elephants
Counting
elephants from planes is impossible in the vast rainforests of
Central Africa．So researchers often estimate elephant numbers
by counting dung piles in a given area．They also need to know
the rate at which dung decays Because it’s extremely difficult
to determine these rates．however，researchers counting elephants
in one region tend to rely on standard decay rates established
elsewhere
But researchers
at the WCS have found that this decay rate varies from region
to region
depending on the climate and
environment Using the wrong values can lead the census astray
(离开正道)，says Plumptre
He and
his colleague Anthony Chifu Nchanji studied decaying elephant
dung in the forests of Cameroon They found that the dung decayed
between 55 and 65 per cent more slowly than the dung in the rainforests
of neighbouring Gabon．If researchers use decay rates from Gabon
to count elephants in Cameroon，they would probably find more elephants
than are actually around．
This could mean estimates
in Cameroon are at least twice as high as those derived from
decay rates calculated locally，says
Plumptre“However accurate your dung density estimate
might be．the decay rate can
severely affect the result”
Plumptre
also says that the dung—pile census should be carried out over
a region similar in size to an elephant’s natural range The usual
technique of monitoring only small，protected areas distorts numbers
because elephants move in and out of these regions，he says“If
the elephant population increases within the protected area，you
can not determine whether 1t is a real increase or whether it
is due to elephants moving in because they are being poached(入侵偷猎)outside．”
Plumptre
says that similar problems may also affect other animal census
studies that rely on indirect evidence such as nests，tracks or
burrows(地洞)
36 The word“threatened”in the first sentence of the first paragraph could be best replaced by A
‘‘endangered”
B
“frightened”
C
“killed”
D
“angered”
37 Why do researchers estimate elephant numbers in an area by counting dung piles? A Because elephants
are difficult to catch
B Because it
is not possible to count elephants from a plane．
C Because it
is not possible to keep track of elephants．
D Because elephants
are shy animals
38 Piles of dung can’t be relied upon when it comes to estimating elephant numbers because A they are different
in size
B they scatter an over
the region．
C they are different
in decay rate．
D they are different
in quality．
39 According to Plumptre，the region over which a dung—pile census is carried out should be A small enough
B well protected．
C carefully monitored．
D large enough
40 The first word“He”in paragraph 6 refers to A Andrew Plumptre
B Katy Payne．
C Anthony Chifu
Nchanji．
D the writer of the
article．
第三篇 More Than Just
Money
When Patricia Rochester
decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse
at
Toronto Western Hospital．her
employer not only cheered her on．but also Paid her tuition and
gave her a day off with pay
every week to study．Throughout her years at the hospital，Rochester
has also taken workshops on
everything from coaching peers to career development——courses
that she believes have helped
her advance at work．“I’m now head of the mentoring(指导)
program for new hires．students
and staff nurses．”she says．“There’s a lot of room for personal
improvement here．”
Perhaps as important，Rochester
says her employer supports and values her work．‘‘If you put in
overtime．”the nurse points Out．“you get your meals—they’11 order
in pizza or Greek food or Chinese．”And if staffers feel stiff
and stressed from too many hours on the ward．they can call for
a flee 15-minute shoulder-and-neck massage(按摩)or even sign up
for an eight-week
evening course on meditation
skills and stress-relief．If that’s not enough，employees can take
advantage of five family days
a year that can be used if the kids come down with the flu or
an
aging parent needs ferrying
to an important doctor’s appointment And they have access to a
range of perks(好处)such as
special rates on hotel rooms，drugstore purchases，and scholarships
for employees’children．
You might wonder how
an organization can provide such resources and still survive．But
University Health Network
is one of a number of progressive employers in Canada that have
discovered that investing
in staff is good business．
If such initiatives
help companies cut down on turnover(人员更替)alone，they’re well
worthwhile．says Prem Benimadhu，a
vice—president at the Conference Board of Canada．It costs
anywhere frmn$3．300 to rehire
support staff，an average$13，300 for technical staff and a
whopping(巨资)$43，000 for an
executive position，according to one study of Conference Board
members
Innovative initiatives
help companies attract talented employees，cut down on sick days
(which cost Canadian businesses
an estimated$17 billion a year,or an average of$3，550 per
Employee)and keep employees
more interested in their work．With the substantial talent shortage
that already exists in Canada
and the prospect of mass retirement over the next five years—as
many as 50 or 60 percent in
some sectors—Benimadhu says that intelligent employers are
putting a renewed focus on
the people who work for them．
41 When Rochester decided to go to school，her employer A persuaded her to
change her mind
B fired her．
C cheered her
on．
D discouraged her．
42Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to ease one’S stiffness and stress? A To take an eight-week evening
course on meditation skills and stress-relief．
B To call for a flee 15-minute
shoulder-and-neck massage．
C To use five family days
D T0 ask for sick leave
43 Investment in staff has been motivated A to attract the public’S
attention
B to reduce staff
turnover,
C to solve labor disputes．
D to show off financial
resources
44 Canada has been short of A talented people．
B timber．
C flesh water．
D money．
45 In paragraph 2，the phrase“come down with’’could be best replaced by A
“shake off’
B
“get rid of'’．
C
“get”．
D
‘‘cure”．

Read with Greater
Speed
Do you have difficulty
reading in class?If so,a special reading program that helps match
sounds with letters could
speed up your brain．
At least one out of
every five elementary school students in the US has trouble learning
t0
read，even when the students
are good at other subjects．____(46)
Researchers from Yale
University,US,studied a group of children from New York and
Connecticut State．As part
of the study，37 struggling readers received special tutoring
Every day,instructors
worked with them on recognizing how written letters represent
units
of sound called phonemes(音素)____(47)
By the end of the school
year，these children could read faster than before．They also made
fewer mistakes，and understood
more of what they read than they could earlier in the year,
As part of their study，the
researchers used a special machine to take action photos of the
students’brains．
___(48)This is the same part
of the brain that becomes active when good readers
read．This activated brain
area appears to include a structure that helps people recognize
familiar written words quickly．In lower level readers，this structure
remains inactive．
A year later,the brain
structure was still working hard in the students who had gone
through
the special tutoring，and they
continued to do well in reading tests．___(49)
However，some researchers still
doubt the study_____(50)
A Many adults are interested in matching sounds with letters B The students also practiced
reading aloud and spelling
C The biggest challenge for
many of these kids，scientists say,is matching sounds with letters．
D Another group in the
study who went through a more traditional reading program didn’t
show the
same progress．
E The pictures showed all
increase in activity in the back of the brain on the left side
F They believe that reading
without making any noise or linking words to sounds is more
efficient．

文章的题目是：用较快的速度阅读。第二段的第一个句子说的是：在美国五

这是一个总的说明，接着的句子应该具体化了。c就是进一步的说明：科学家说：
这些孩子中的许多人的最大困难是如何使得读音和字母对应起来。

语音单位的。光弄懂是不够的，还需要实践。B就是实践：学生还练习朗读和拼写。

在一起可以构成对比，也很连贯。

提供的选项中的第一个词组可以看出，只有F是合适的，因为它的起始词是“They’，
回指“some
researchers”。
第六部分：完形填空
51 B
该段中有这样一个短语“particularly difficult to catch”(很难找到他)，“well
known for
keeping himself to himself”是“以与世隔绝为大家熟知”。可以看出，根
据下文，用“well
known”最为合适。
52 A
hold：抱住；拿住。run into和bump into都有“撞上”的意思，这是不由一
个人的主观意志所能控制的。
53 D
对第一段做解释时，提到了上下文可以帮助我们做出正确的判断。紧随其后
的是“It came
as a complete surprise．”(这个奖来得很突然)。“shock”和“surprise”
意思很接近，因此选择“shocked”是对的。
54 c like作“喜欢”解时是动词，而此处需要的是一个名词。devotion后面跟“to”，
attraction是“吸引”的意思。填入后意思不太合适。因此只有“love”是正确的选
项。
55 A despite引导的是一个反比，主旬中有一个“easy”，那么它的反义词就是
“difficult”。
56 B
“幻make a breakthrough”等于“t0 break through”。是周定的搭配。
57 c
“t0 take one's place”是“处于某种位子”， 是固定的说法。
58 C
这里需要填入的是一个不及物动词，“received”，“obtained”，“had”都是及
物动词，只有“won”既可作及物动词，又可作不及物动词。

在这四个动词中，只有“deal”可跟“with”搭配。
60 D
整个句子说的是：在处理这个国家依然存在的暴力，犯罪和种族隔离问题，
他的书能使一般人从内部理解种族隔离。“从……角度”常用“from…”。
61 D
“casts its shadow”是“给……带来影响”，是固定的搭配。
62 B
“think twice”相当于汉语中的“三思而后行”。正如汉语中不说“二思而后行”一样，英文中也不说“think three
times”，这是固定的说法。
63 c
该句子的意思是，他作品中的纯洁性反映到了他的个人生活中，“mirrored”
是“反映”的意思。
64 A
从下文“far greater than the things he has given up”(比起他放弃的东西要多得
多)来看，选择“contributed”是对的。全句说的是：但是，他对文学、文化、南
非人民所做出的贡献比起他放弃的东西要多得多。
65 D
其他三个动词填入后生成的都是不合格的句子。
