It is known to all that the Beijing Municipal Government has already set the theme for the future games: New Beijing, Great Olympics. For me, the 2008 Olympics will be a great green Olympics illuminated with two more special colors, yellow and red.
First, yellow is a meaningful color. The Yellow River is China's Mother River and the descendants of the Yellow Emperor. This color has a special origin and great significance for the Chinese people. Beijing is the capital of New China and previously the capital for nine dynasties in Chinese history. So, yellow will naturally add splendor to the 2008 Games.
Secondly, the 2008 Olympics will be a red pageant.Red is another traditionally cherished color for the whole country. We adore red. On big occasions, we like to decorate our homes in red. It is the color of double happiness, representing joyous moments, auspiciousness, enthusiasm and prosperity. Red is one of the most suitable colors to describe the future of Beijing . Beijing , together with the whole country, is becoming more and more prosperous in the process of modernization. Should the 2008 Olympics be held in Beijing, the whole city will be a sea of red : the red torch,red flags, red flowers, and the radiant faces of millions of joyful people.
Above all, the 2008 Olympics will be a green Olympics. Adding a green ingredient is essential in creating an appealing image, as we can't deny the fact that Beijing, at the moment, is not as green a city as what we like it to be. Striving for an environmentally appealing city has become a central task for all the citizens of Beijing. Big efforts have been made in pollution control, replanting and beautification of the city. According to a project entitled" The Green Olympic Action Plan", between 1998 and 2007, Beijing, we have invested 100 billion RMB in preserving and protecting the environment. Some 12.5 million trees and over 1 million acres of grass will be planted along the Fourth Ring Road. By then, the city's green area will make up 40% of its total. The city will also dredge its reservoirs used as a water supply to Beijing residents, controlling instrial pollution and moving out the 200 factories presently located within the city proper.
Certainly, all of this is no easy task. But I am sure that all of us have confidence that we will realize these green goals. For now we have the full support and participation of the environmentally conscious citizens. Each
citizen is showing great concern for every one of the steps the city government takes. As the saying goes, United, we stand, and a
green Beijing will be achieved.
When our aspiration becomes a reality, it will be a unique Olympics." New Beijing, Great Olympics"; will be weaved of these three superb colors: yellow, red and green.
Let us welcome it and look forward to it! Thank you!

上述所有， 2008年奥运会将是一个绿色奥运。加入一个绿色的成分是至关重要的在创造一种有吸引力的形象，正如我们不能否认的事实，即北京，目前是不是绿色的城市，正如我们一样，它是。争取一个有吸引力的城市环境已成为一个中心任务，为全体公民的北京。大已经作出努力，在污染控制，补植和美化城市。根据一个项目，题为“绿色奥运行动计划” ， 1998年和2007年，北京，我们已投资一千亿元人民币，在保存和保护环境。一些12500000树木和超过100万英亩的草将 种植 ，沿四环路。届时，城市的绿地面积将弥补的40 % ，其总。市政府也将其疏通水库用来作为水供应北京的居民，控制工业污染和走出去的200工厂，目前位于城市适当的。
当然，这一切是不容易的任务。但我相信我们所有人有信心，我们将实现这些绿色的目标。现在我们有充分的支持和参与的环保意识的公民。每个
公民是表现出极大的关注，每一个步骤，城市政府。正如俗语所说，美国，我们的立场，和一个绿色北京将得到实现。

Parkrun is succeeding where London’s Olympic “legacy” is failing.
Parkrun在伦敦奥运“遗产”失败的地方取得了成功。
Ten years ago on Monday, it was announced that the Games of the 30th Olympiad would be in London. 十年前的星期一，有消息宣布，第30届奥林匹克运动会将在伦敦举行。
Planning documents pledged that the great legacy of the Games would be to level a nation of sport lovers away from their couches. 规划文件承诺，奥运会的伟大遗产将是让整个国家的体育爱好者远离沙发。
The population would be fitter, healthier and proce more winners. It has not happened. The number of alts doing weekly sport did rise, by nearly 2 million in the run—up to 2012— but the general population was growing faster. 人们会更健康，更健康，产生更多的赢家。 但这并没有发生。 每周进行体育锻炼的成年人数量确实增加了，在2012年之前增加了近200万，但总体人口增长速度更快。 --------说明实际运动的人比例减少
❤Worse, the numbers are now falling at an accelerating rate. 更糟糕的是，这一数字现在正在加速下降。
The opposition claims primary school pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week have nearly halved. 反对派声称每周至少运动两个小时的小学生几乎减少了一半。
Obesity has risen among alts and children. Official retrospections continue as to why London 2012 failed to “inspire a generation.” The success of Parkrun offers answers.

[B] promote sport participation 促进体育运动的参与
[C] improve the city’s image 促进改善城市形象 无中生有
[D] increase sport hours in schools 增加学校的体育活动时间
【答案】[B] promote sport participation
Parkun is not a race but a time trial: Your only competitor is the clock. The ethos welcomes anybody. There is as much joy over a puffed-out first-timer being clapped over the line as there is about top talent shining. The Olympic bidders, by contrast, wanted to get more people doing sports and to proce more elite athletes. The al aim was mixed up: The stress on success over taking part was intimidating for newcomers.
Parkun不是一场比赛，而是一场计时赛:你唯一的竞争对手是时钟。 这种精神欢迎任何人。 一个踌躇满志的新手在终点线被鼓掌的喜悦之情，与顶级天才闪耀的喜悦之情一样多。 相比之下，奥运会竞标者希望让更多的人从事体育运动，培养更多的精英运动员。 双重目标混淆了:成功和参与的压力让新人望而却步。
23. Parkrun is different from Olympic games in that it .
[A] aims at discovering talents 旨在发现人才
[B] focuses on mass competition 关注大众竞争
[C] does not emphasize elitism 不强调精英主义
[D] does not attract first-timers 不能吸引初来乍到的人
【答案】[C] does not emphasize elitism
Indeed, there is something a little absurd in the state getting involved in the planning of such a fundamentally “grassroots”, concept as community sports associations. If there is a role for government, it should really be getting involved in providing common goods—making sure there is space for playing fields and the money to pave tennis and netball courts, and encouraging the provision of all these activities in schools. But successive governments have presided over selling green spaces, squeezing money from local authorities and declining attention on sport in ecation. Instead of wordy, worthy strategies, future governments need to do more to provide the conditions for sport to thrive. Or at least not make them worse.
事实上，国家参与到社区体育协会这样一个基本的“草根”概念的规划中，有些荒谬。如果政府要发挥作用的话，它应该真正参与到提供公共物品的工作中来——确保有操场的空间，有资金来铺设网球场和网球场，并鼓励在学校提供所有这些活动。但历届政府都负责出售绿地，从地方政府那里榨取资金，并减少对体育教育的关注。未来的政府需要做得更多，为体育繁荣提供条件，而不是冗长而有价值的战略。或者至少不会让他们变得更糟。
24. With regard to mass sport, the author holds that governments should
对于群众体育，作者认为政府应该。 .
[A] organize “grassroots” sports events 组织“草根”体育活动
[B] supervise local sports associations监督本地体育协会
[C] increase funds for sports clubs 增加体育俱乐部的资金
[D] invest in public sports facilities 投资公共体育设施
【答案】[D] invest in public sports facilities
25. The author’s attitude to what UK governments have done for sports is .
[A] tolerant
[B] critical
[C] uncertain
[D] sympathetic

第一单元 文化遗产
阅读一 寻找琥珀
普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。这个礼物是因为由几吨琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。这些被挑选的琥珀都有着像蜂蜜一样漂亮的黄棕色。这间屋的设计是当时最流行的奇特的风格。这同样是一件花了当时最好的艺术家大约十年用黄金和珠宝修饰制成的宝物。
事实上，这间屋不是制来当礼物的。这是为腓特烈一世的领土而设计的。然而，普鲁士下一任国王同样是琥珀屋的拥有者，腓特烈威廉一世决定不保留琥珀屋。在1716年他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为报答，沙皇给了腓特烈一队他最好的士兵。因此琥珀屋成为了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作为一个大概四米长的只为重要访客的小接待处。 后来，叶卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一个她避暑的地方。她让她的艺术家加了跟多的细节在里面。在1770年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的样子。接近600只蜡烛在屋内燃烧着，把镜子和图画都照得像金子一样。令人伤心的，虽然被誉为是世界奇迹之一的琥珀屋现在丢失了。
在1941年9月，纳粹军队在圣彼得堡附近。这正是两个国家在交战的时候。在纳粹去到避暑地方之前，俄国人民能够从琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的艺术品。然而，一些纳粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少两天内100000多片琥珀被放进27个木箱里。这些箱子无疑会被放进一艘去往当时德军驻扎的菠萝的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋发生了神马仍然是个迷。 最近，俄国和德国人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通过研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他们制造了一座新的琥珀屋像旧的那座一样。在2003年它被圣彼得堡的人民用来庆祝这座城市的300岁生日。

一个事实还是一个观点
神马是事实？是一些人们相信的东西吗？不！事实是可以被证明的任何事。例如，可以证明中国人口比世界上任何其他国家的人口都要多。这是一个事实。
那么神马是一个观点？一个观点是人们相信那是真的但还没有被证明的。所以一个观点在一个审判中不是一个好的证据。例如，如果你说“猫是比狗好的宠物”这会是一个观点。这可能是真的，不过很难去证明。一些人可能不同意这个观点不过他们也不能去证明他们是对的。 在一场审批中，一个审判官一定要去决定相信哪个目击者哪个目击者不应该相信。这个审判官不会去考虑每个目击者的长相或人们在哪里居住或工作。他/她只关心目击者是否会提供真是的信息，信息一定是事实而不是观点。这类的信息被称为证据。
第二单元 奥林匹克运动会
阅读一 一个采访
大约2000年前的一个希腊作者帕萨尼亚斯(P)，在2007年3月18日踏上了一段魔幻的旅程去查明关于现代的奥林匹克运动会。他正在采访一个2008年奥林匹克运动会志愿者李岩(L)。 P:我是帕萨尼亚斯。我住在你们所说的“古希腊”而且在很久之前我常常写以一些关于奥林匹克运动会的事情。我来到你的时代是为了解关于现代奥林匹克运动会因为我知道2004年奥林匹克运动会会在我家乡举办。我可以问你一些关于现代奥林匹克运动会的问题么？ L:真是极为愉快的事!你真的来自那么久远的时代么？不过当然你可以问你想问的问题。你想知道神马？
P:你们多久会举办一次运动会？
L:四年一次。有两种主要的运动会形式--冬季和夏季奥运会，并且在一个有规律的基础上他们都是四年举办一次的。冬季奥运会一般会在夏季奥运会前两年举办。只有达到该项目既定的标准的运动员才会被容许成为竞争者。他们可以来自世界各地。 P:冬季奥运会？田径运动员如何在冬季享受比赛？还有马术又怎样？
L:哦不!冬季奥运会没有赛跑和骑马的项目。反而会有一些像滑雪和溜冰这些需要雪和冰的项目。这就是为神马他成为冬季奥运会。只有在夏季奥运会会有你说赛跑，同时还有游泳，帆船运动和所有团队运动。
P:我懂了。之前你说那些运动员都被邀请来自世界各地。你了解希腊世界么？我们希腊城过去互相竞赛只为胜利的荣誉。没有其他的地区可以参加，奴隶和妇女也不可以。 L:现在只要他们的运动员够好的话任何国家都可以参加。有超过250种项目并且每一种都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅允许参加比赛，并且她们在体操比赛，竞技比赛，团队比赛和其他各种比赛中都扮演着重要的角色。
P:麻烦稍等一下！所有的这些项目，所有的国民甚至妇女都可以参加！那么这些运动员们居住在哪里？
L:在每一场奥运会前，一座特别的村庄会被建来给他们居住，还有一座主要的接待建筑，几个用来比赛的体育场和一座体育馆等
P:那听起来很贵。有哪个国家会想要举办奥运会么？
L:事实上，每个国家都想要这个机会。这是一个很大的责任同样是一个很大的荣誉如果被挑选到。在国家之间有很多竞争去为举办奥运会就像去赢得奥林匹克奖牌一样。2008年的奥运会将会在北京举行。这你知道么？ P:哦是的！你一定非常自豪。
L:当然。之后的2012年奥运会将在伦敦举行。他们早就开始为这个做准备了。一座让运动员居住的村庄和所有的运动场将会被建在东伦敦。当然新的奖牌会被设计......
P:你是说奖牌么？所以甚至是橄榄花圈也已经被取代了！哦亲爱的！你们比赛也为了奖金么？
L:不我们不。现在仍然想要跑得更快跳的更高扔得更远。正如你知道的奥运会的格言-“更快更高更强”。
P:好吧，那是个好消息。多么有趣啊！耽搁你的时间，谢谢了。

亚特兰大的故事
亚特兰大是一个希腊公主。她很漂亮并且可以跑得比希腊的任何一个男人都快。不过她不被允许在奥运会上跑步去为她自己赢得荣誉。她很生气因此她跟她父亲说她不会嫁任何跑不过她的男人。她父亲说她必须要嫁，所以亚特兰大与她父亲定下一个条件。她对她父亲说，“这是我的原则。如果有男人说想要嫁我，我会跟她赛跑。如果他跑不赢我，他会被杀。没有人能被例外。”
很多国王和王子想要娶亚特兰大，不过当他们听到这个规定的时候他们就知道自己没希望了。所以他们当中的很多人都伤心地回家了，不过其他的人都留着去赛跑。一个叫做希波墨涅斯的男人听到亚特兰大的消息后感到非常惊奇，他想“为神马这些男的都这么愚蠢呢？”“为神马他们会因为跑不过这个公主而让自己被杀呢？”然而，当他看到亚特兰大从她的房子出来跑步的时候，希波墨涅斯改变了他的心意。他说，“我会娶亚特兰大或者死！”
赛跑开始的时候虽然男人们都跑得很快，但是亚特兰大总是会更快。希波墨涅斯边看边想，“我要怎样才能赢过亚特兰大呢？”他去向希腊的爱神求助。爱神答应帮他并给了他三个金苹果。她说，“在亚特兰大跑过你的时候扔一个在亚特兰大面前。当亚特兰大停下来去捡苹果的时候，你就可以跑过她并赢得比赛。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果并跑去找国王。他说，“我想娶亚特兰大。”国王伤心地看着又一个男人要死，不过希波墨涅斯说，“我会娶她或者死！”然后赛跑开始了。

阅读一 我是谁
随着时间的推移我被改变了很多。在1642年的法国，我是作为一个计算机器而开始的。虽然我很年轻我可以简化一些计算题。在我被Charles Babbage改造成分析机器之前我很慢的发展了接近两百年。之后我被一个操作员用带洞的卡调制成了可以合逻辑地思考并且比任何人都快地得出一些问题的答案。那是一个被成为技术改革的时候并且开始了我的人造智能。在1936年我真正的父亲Alan Turing写了一本关于我如何像普遍的机器一样去解决任何困难的数学问题的书。从那起，我在体积和智能方面快速的发展。在1940年我变得像一个房间一样大，并且我想知道我是否还能变得更大。然而，事实也在困扰着我的设计者。随着时间的推移，我被制的更小。首先是个人电脑再到后来的手提电脑，在1970年我已经开始被用在办公室和家里。
这些变化只因为我记忆力的增强。开始记忆被存放于电子管里，然后是晶体管和后来更小的晶片。因此我改变了我的整个外型。随着我慢慢变老我也慢慢的变小。随着时间推移我的记忆力发展的那么快，像头大象，我不会忘记任何我曾被告知的东西！而且我的记忆力变得如此的大以至于我都不敢相信!不过我总是自己那么孤单的站在那里，直到1960年他们通过网络给了我一个家庭关系。我能够通过万维网和其他的电脑分享我的知识。从1970年起很多新的应用为我而被发明。我在交流，金融和贸易方面变得重要。我同样被放进遥控装置中被用来制造移动电话也帮助医学手术。我已经被放进太空火箭并被送去探测月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是为人们提供高质量的生活。我现在充满快乐应为我成为了人类种族中的一个忠心的朋友和帮助者。

机器人-Andy
我是一个机器人球队的一份子。我们被允许在一齐踢足球大约一年了。我像一个人类一样高大。事实上，我长得也像人类。在球队里我是前锋因此我要跑得非常快。我的电脑芯片帮助我移动并且像人类一样思考。例如，我已经学会了当我要开动去射一个好球的时候用电脑语言向我的队友发信号让他们把球传给我。
我的第一场足球比赛是在几年前在日本的名古屋。去年我们球队去了美国华盛顿和西雅图。我们胜利的第二个地方。就我个人观点，我认为我们球队第一次赢的地方是作弊的。他们已经在比赛之前一种新的程序类型。所以我们也要促进我们的程序去提高我们的智能。我们决心要去一种甚至更好的标志。一定程度上说我们的程序就像我们的教练。她训练我们所有在人类比赛中她能看到的所有可能的动作。如果一种新情况出现她会准备可靠的动作去运用。用这种方式我可以用我的“人造只能”去制造新的动作。我能够被编程成像人类一样的表现我就可以真的与一队人类球队去比赛。毕竟，在我不会忘掉任何东西的电子脑袋的帮助下，我的所有就是用我的智能！

阅读一 Daisy如何学习去帮助野生动物
Daisy常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的种类的野生动物。一天她醒来发现一个正在飞行的飞毯在她包里。“你想去哪里？”它问。Daisy立刻回答它。“我想去看那些濒临灭绝的动物，”她说。“请带我去那个我可以找到供给皮毛去制造这件毛衣的动物的一个遥远的地方。”飞毯立刻带她飞去了西藏。在那里Daisy看到了一支看起来很伤心的羚羊。它说，“我们被杀是为了我们肚子下的毛。我们的皮毛被人类用来制造像你这样的毛衣。因此，现在我们是一种濒临灭绝的种类。”然后Daisy哭喊着，“我很抱歉我不知道那些。我想知道神马可以被做来帮助你们。飞毯，请带我去一个有一些野生动物保护区的地方。”
飞毯飞得如此的快以至于他们下一分钟就在Zimbabwe。Daisy转来转去然后发现她被一头大象盯着。“你过来跟我照相了么？”它问。Daisy松了口气突然笑起来。“不要笑，”大象说，“我们曾经是濒临灭绝的品种。农民好不仁慈地猎杀我们。他们说我们破坏了他们的天地，和来自那些只游览大工厂的游客的钱。所以政府决定去帮助。他们允许游客给钱农民然后可以去猎杀确定数量的动物。现在农民很高兴而且我们的数量在增加。所以好事情正被做于营救当地的野生动物。” Daisy微笑了。“那是个好消息。它展示了野生动物保护的重要性，不过我喜欢去帮助像WWF这样的建议。”飞毯再次升起然后几乎同一时间他们在一个阴霾的热带雨林。一支猴子看着他们就像它摩擦它自己。“你在干神马？”Daisy问。“我在保护自己不受蚊子的伤害，”它回答。“当我找到一只千足虫昆虫，我会在我身上摩擦它。它包涵了一种强大的可以影响蚊子的药物。你应该更加注意那些我居住的热带雨林并好好鉴赏动物们如何居住在一齐。没有雨林，没有动物，没有药物。” Daisy很惊讶。“飞毯，请带我回家这样我可以联系WWF并开始保护这种新的药物。猴子，请过来帮忙。”那猴子同意了。飞毯飞回家了。当他们降落时，事物开始消失了。两分钟后所有东西都消失了-那只猴子也是。所以Daisy不能去制造她的新药物。不过如此的一段经历！她已经学习了那么多！还有那里的WWF......

并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗？你是否曾梦想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱，观众欣赏你的歌唱为你鼓掌吗？你唱卡拉OK时是否假装自己就是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌星吗？说实在的，很多人把名和利看得很重。那么，人们又是怎样一起组成乐队的呢？
许多音乐家聚在一起组成乐队，是因为他们喜欢自己作曲，演奏自己的音乐。他们开始可能是一组中学生，在某个人家里排练音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路人演奏，这样他们可以为自己或自己要买的乐器多挣一些钱。后来，他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出，这样他们可以得到现金。当然，他们希望在录音棚里录音，然后卖掉上百万张碟，从而成为百万富翁。
然而，也有一个用不同方式组建起来的乐队。这支乐队叫“门基乐队”，它开始时是以电视节目表演的形式出现的。组成乐队的音乐人演奏音乐，还彼此打趣都笑。这些玩笑和音乐大多都在模仿“甲壳虫”乐队。电视制作人原计划想寻找四位会唱又会表演的乐手。他们在报纸上登了一则广告，想招摇滚乐手，但他们只招到一个满意的。乐队的其他三人只能用演员来代替。
因为这些演员中有些人唱得不是很好，他们不得不依靠队里的其他人帮助。所以在演出的时候他们只是假唱。不管怎样，他们的表演非常幽默以至于其他的乐队也开始模仿。他们非常走红使得歌迷们为了更加熟悉他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上演唱由别的音乐家创作的歌曲。然而，经过大约一年以后，门基乐队逐渐对自己的工作认真起来，他们开始像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片，并且开始巡回表演他们自己的音乐。在美国，他们甚至比“甲壳虫”乐队还要受欢迎，出售的录音专辑还要多。“门基乐队”大约在1970年左右解散，但是令人高兴的是，到80年代中期他们再次聚首。在1996年，他们推出了一张新的专辑，像真正的乐队一样以此来庆祝他们以往的时光。
G. 英语阅读理解
詹姆斯.克里夫兰.欧文斯是一个农民的儿子、黑人奴隶的孙子。他9岁的时候，他的家迁居到了克利夫兰 。在那里，一个学校老师问这个男孩叫什么名字。
" J.C， "他回答说。
她原以为他说的是 "杰西" ，因此他有了一个新的名字。
欧文斯参加的第一场比赛是在13岁。高中毕业后，他又到美国俄亥俄州州立大学。他不得不做兼职工作来支持他上学。作为一个二年级的学生，在1935年的“十强”运动会上， 他创造了比他一年后在奥运会上还要快的纪录。
在那个“十强赛”的一星期前，欧文斯不小心从楼梯上掉下来。他的背后的伤使他一个星期不能进行锻炼，为了参赛他甚至不得不需要有人帮助他上下汽车。他没有听取很多人让他放弃比赛的建议，并表示他将尽全力一项一项地参赛。他做到了，他创造了一项又一项的纪录。
第二年的柏林奥林匹克运动会是欧文斯的舞台。他的成功不仅被认为是竞技的胜利，也是政治上的胜利。希特勒没有向任何一位非裔美国获奖运动员表示祝贺。
"这对我无所谓 ，" 事后几年，他这样说， "我去柏林并不是为了和他握手" 。
从柏林返回，他也没有收到自己国家总统的电话。其实上，直到他去世的在四年前，也就是1976年，才得到美国给予的荣誉。
欧文斯在奥运会的胜利并没有给他带来任何变化。他靠看护运动场为生，并与汽车、卡车、摩托车和狗赛跑挣钱。
"是的，这让我烦恼，"他后来说。 "，但至少我过着诚实的生活。我要吃饭" 。
终于，他的金牌后来改变了他的人生。 "是这些金牌让我活了下来， "他曾经这样说过。 "时间在我面前停滞不前。夺取金牌的时刻永远闪亮" 。
