The first London Olympics in 1908
These games were going to be held in Rome but,because of a volcano,Rome wasn't ready.London agreed to stage the games and the White City Olympic Stadium was built in just 10 months.What was new at these Olympics was the opening ceremony where athletes paraded(列隊行進(jìn)) with their teams behind their national flags.Only 22 countries took part and the profits were just over£21,000!
The second London Olympics
Because of the Second World War,the 1944 Olympics were cancelled.Four years later the war was over and London was able to hold the Games in 1948.Things were very different in London during these Olympic Games and many years of war had left the UK poor and hungry.People called them the"Austerity Games".But there were still some great sports and some exciting events!

解答 61.A 文章第三部分"The Games this year are going to be bigger,better and more exciting than ever before. There will be more than 10,000 athletes from 204 countries taking part!"今年舉辦奧運會比往年的更好,將由204個國家的 運動員參加,可以看出倫敦將第三次舉辦奧運會.故選A.
62.C 第一段"because of a volcano,Rome wasn't ready"由于火山羅馬還沒準(zhǔn)備好,可以看出倫敦取代羅馬舉辦奧運會的原因是羅馬火山噴發(fā),故選C.
63.A 文章第二部分中的"Things were very different in London during these Olympic Games and many years of war had left the UK poor and hungry.People called them the"Austerity Games"."可以看出因為貧窮和饑餓倫敦第二次奧運會被成為"Austerity Games",故選A.
64.D 文章中"For the first time,cameras filmed the games and broadcast them on television so that people could watch them in their own homes"第一次,攝像機(jī)拍下了游戲并廣播電視,人們可以在自己家園看到他們,可以推斷出拍攝的是比賽過程,故選D.
65.D 根據(jù)文章的第二部分"Because of the Second World War,the 1944 Olympics were cancelled"可以看出因為世界大戰(zhàn),倫敦第二次奧運會被取消,故選D.

13.Ask a group of elderly people what it was about their lives that made them happiest overall,and they'll probably mention some warm relationships with family and friends.If you're satisfied with your social life,according to psychologists,you tend to be satisfied with life in general.
From the point of my 50s,I'd say that sounds about right.Some of my happiest moments are the ones I spend with my husband,a few close relatives,and a handful of very good friends who know me well and like me anyway.But the more I read about how social media are interfering with (干擾) good old-fashioned friendship,creating virtual bonds that can't quite take the place of real ones,the more I wonder just how today's 20-somethings will look back on their own lives when they're my age.
After all,much crucial relationship building work is done in the 20s.According to research by the late Bernice Neugarten of the University of Chicago,who helped launch the academic study of human development,people choose most of their adult relationships,both friends and lovers,between the ages of 22and 28.The friends we make in our 20s are not only best friends forever; they're also our first truly chosen friends.And choosing how to commit to these friendships is an essential psychological task of the 20s.
But with so much of friendship in this age group now being developed online,an essential question is what the effect of that interaction is.A study,conducted in 2010by Craig Watkins and Erin Lee of the University of Texas at Austin,investigated the Facebook habits of 776young people between the ages of 18and 35."Whether it is a wall post,a comment,or a photo,"they wrote,"young people's engagement with Facebook is driven,primarily,by a desire to stay connected to and involved in the lives of friends who live close by,far away,or have just entered into their lives."
This kind of constant contact can be efficient,but it can also be upsetting.For one thing,it adds a new layer of concern to a young person's already-heightened awareness of social ranking,giving appearance-conscious young people yet another thing to worry about."I see other 20-somethings feeling pressured to constantly keep up a public image,especially a public image online,"wrote Ariana Allensworth on the group blog."Folks are always keeping the world informed one way or another about what they're up to,where they're at,what projects they're working on.It can be a bit much at times."Not the most fertile ground for real-world friendship.

74.According to the passage,the 20s is an age for people toD.
A.have a good public image
B.keep themselves informed
C.look back on their own lives
D.develop critical relationships
75.Which of the following is a disadvantage of making friends onlineB?
A.It makes people pay less attention to social ranking.
B.It robs people of the happy moments spent with friends.
C.It keeps people away from their family and close relatives.
D.It prevents people from keeping in contact with their friends.
76.What was the aim of the study conducted by Craig Watkins and Erin LeeB?
A.To know about the 776young people's Facebook habits.
B.To find out how social media affect real-world social life.
C.To help young people stay connected to the lives of friends.
D.To investigate what kind of people prefer online interactions.
77.The author may agree thatC.
A.old-fashioned friendship can help create virtual bonds
B.there's no need for young people to make online friends
C.real-world friendship is a better choice for young people
D.online friendship is an inevitable trend in the modern world.

11.Renowned Chinese author Mo Yan has gained many new admirers after winning the 2012Nobel Prize in Literature.Several major publishing houses in China said they would include some of Mo's short stories in their textbooks for middle and high school students.
These announcements have given rise to fierce debate.Some criticize publishers for seeking fame and others wonder if middle school students have enough literary knowledge to truly appreciate Mo's works.Mo Yan has been a well-regarded writer in China for many years.But textbook publishers never showed their interest in his works before.Now they are all rushing to include Mo's short stories,weeks after the author won a Nobel prize•Their timing invites suspicion.
In contrast,supporters say that Mo's prose is beautiful and can inspire students'love for the Chinese language.
By having won a Nobel prize,Mo can have a very positive effect on getting more young people interested in literature.Including Mo's works in textbooks can draw the attention of young students and improve their literary skills.

15.閱讀下面的短文,然后按照要求寫一篇150詞的英語短文.
The elephant and the fly
A disciple(信徒),who was disturbed by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest,asked his teacher,"Why are most people's minds restless?What can one do to still the mind?"The teacher looked at the disciple,smiled and told him a story:
 An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree.A small fly came,flying and buzzing(嗡嗡叫) near his ear.The elephant waved it away with his long ears.Then the fly came again,and the elephant waved it away once more.
This was repeated several times.Then the elephant asked the fly,"Why are you so restless and noisy?Why can't you stay for a while in one place?"
The fly answered,"I am attracted to whatever I see,hear or smell.My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them.What is your secret?How can you stay so calm and still?"
The elephant stopped eating and said,"My five senses do not rule my attention.Whatever I do,I get immersed in it.Now that I am eating,I am completely absorbed in eating.In this way I can enjoy my food and chew it better.I rule and control my attention,and not the other way around."
Upon hearing these words,a smile appeared on the disciple's face,"I understand!If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention,then my mind is in constant unrest.If I am in charge of my five senses and attention,then my mind becomes calm."
