第三部分 阅读(共两节，满分40分) 第一节 阅读理解(共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列三篇短文，从每题所给的四个选现(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions.People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded killer.For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer.He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone’s life as nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body.The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do.For example, you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned, and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility.You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation. The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face.You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you.Or, to someone who has lied about you to others. A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth.A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted.Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy.Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers. Out in the cold means not getting something that everybody else got.A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise---he was left out in the cold.And it is not a pleasant place to be. 41.There are _________ expressions related to cold that are mentioned in the passage. A.3 B.4 C.6 D.7 42.When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_________”.[来源:ks5u] A.I give him the cold shoulder B.I think he is a cold-blooded man C.I think he is a cold fish D.I’m likely to get cold feet 43. If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say _________. A.she is a cold-blooded killer B.she gets cold feet C.she is a cold fish D.she is out in the cold 44.We can use the expression “__________” to describe a man who abandons or hurts his lover without mercy. A.cold-blooded B.cold shoulder C.cold feet D.cold-hearted 45.The topic of this passage is about _________. A.the relationship between cold and our body B.some expressions about friendship C.some expressions connected with cold D.how cold weather comes into being B Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests. One country received its second—place medals with visible indignation after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match as, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair .Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behaviour could result in the suspension (停赛) of the team for at least three years. The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their contest. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the U.S.A. had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national terms, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义). 46. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____. A. created goodwill between the nations B. bred only false national pride C. hardly showed any international friendship D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred 47. What did the manager mean by saying,“...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”? A. His team would no longer take part in international games. B. Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions. C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation. D. The Federation should be dissolved. 48. The basketball example implied that ____. A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident B. the announcement to prolong the match was wrong C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision D. The American team was right in receiving the silver medals 49. The author gives the two examples in paragraph 2 and 3 to show ____. A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games B. that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship D. that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games 50.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game. D. International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations. (责任编辑：admin) |
