Passage 2 (世纪报模拟)

　　 The modern Olympic Games were founded with the intention of improving health and education, promoting world peace, and encouraging fair and equal competition. But over the years, the olympic saying, "faster, higher, stronger", has pushed scientists as well as athletes to do everything possible to reach new levels.

　　 Doctors, engineers and coaches all use everyting science has to offer to achieve that little bit extra in competition. The reason modern technology has become part of sport is very simple: winning is just as important as it was 2,500 years ago at the olympics of ancient Greece.　 Developments in technology have often been reflected in the methods of training and per- formance at the olympics through history.　 This technology falls into two main groups: improving an athlet's performance in competition, and allowing results to be measured more accurately.

　　 One of the creations that has drawn the most attention is the new high-tech swimsuit from Speedo, which was used by many US swimmers in Athens.　 Until Sydney 2000, it was thought that the smaller the swimsuit, the faster the swimmer would travel.

　　 "However, the fact that at the Sydney Olympics,28 of the 33 gold medalists were wearing the body covering Fastskin suit proved the theory was out of date, "said Andy Thomas, vicepresident of Speed.

　　 The company's full body suit is supposed to make swim- mers 3 to 4 percent faster, particularly when turning or diving into the water. It is believed that the suit creates less water re- sistance as it moves, behaving more like a shark skin than a human skin.

　　 The introduction of high-tech equipment means that athletes in all sports, from 100-metre sprint to the pole vault,can now train more effectively.

Meanwhile, scientific devlopment also means performances can be measured and studied more accurately.　 Not only are winning times more accurately recorded, but cheating athletes are easier to catch out. Athens 20典型例题nizers promised to use only the very latest equipment to measure distance and speed.

3. What can be provided for you during the exam?

　 A. Pencils

　 B. Food and drink

　 C. Extra paper.

　 D. Calculators.

Passage 1 (名校联考六)

　　 Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator, operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?

Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than ci- vilian (百姓的)clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform. The tel- evision repairman who wears a uniform tends to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform. What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a barber, or a waiter to lose professional identity(身份) than to step out of uniform?　

Uniforms also have many practical benefits. They save on other clothes. They save on laundry bills. They are tax-deduct ible(可减税的). They are often more comfortable and more durable than civilian clothes.

　　 Primary among the arguments against uniforms is their lack of variety and the consequent loss of individuality experi- enced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they tend to think, speak, and act similarly, on the job at least.

　　　 Uniforms also give rise to some practical　 problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes. Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain, requiring professional dry cleaning rath- er than the home laundering possible with many types of civilian clothes. 1. It is surprising that Americans who worship variety and indi　 viduality ______.

　 A. still judge a man by his clothes

　 B. hold the uniform in such high regard

　 C. enjoy having a professional identity

　 D. will respect an elevator operator as much as a general　 in uniform

答案: B　 指导：这篇文章主要讲述崇尚个性、崇尚多样化的美国人为何爱穿制服，以及制服所带来的利弊，是一道辨别事实题。由第一段第一句“Americans are proud Of their variety and individuality，yet they love and respect few things more than auniform．．．”可知应选B项。

5(典型例题A)

　　 When Lewis and Clark stepped onto the Weippe Prairie in present-day Idaho in September 18典型例题y met the Nez Perce Indians. In the following years, the white explorers (探险者) began fight with the Indians or their land. Some Nez Perce chiefs signed agreements with the U. S. government, selling part of their lands. But the government always broke those a- greements and demanded more land.

Other chiefs refused to go along with the government's plans. The most famous was Chief Joseph, whose people lived in the Wallowa Valley (present-day Oregon).　　　　

"In order to have all people understand how much land we owned," he once explained, "my father planted poles around it and said.. ' Inside is the home of my people ... It circl ed aroundthe graves (坟墓) of our fathers, and we will never give up these graves to any man. '

　　　 But in 1874, the U. S. government declared the valley open for white settlement and ordered the Nez Perce onto a res- ervation(保留地). Seeing that resistance was useless. Chief Jo seph agreed to move.

Later, fighting broke out between the Nez Perce and U. S. soldiers. Chief Joseph tried to lead his people to Canada, winning several battles against the soldiers during their flight. But finally, he was forced to give in.
