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: international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred（憎恨）. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests.

One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey（曲棍球）final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.

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 teams, 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）.

1.According to the author, recently the Olympic Games have ______.

A. created goodwill between the nations

B. brought about only false national pride

C. hardly showed any international friendship

D. put an end to misunderstanding and hatred

2.The underlined word “disallowed”（in Paragraph 2）means “______”.

A. permitted to pass

B. considered as reasonable

C. won by the other side

D. refused to accept

3.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 break up.

4.The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show ______.

A. how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games

B. that sportsmen are often against the final decisions

C. that competitiveness in the games discourages international friendship

D. that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic Games

5.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?

A. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

B. Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic  Games.

C. A game should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.

Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions 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 mainly by minor national competitions.

One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation（愤慨）after a hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser’s objection to the final decision. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was very angry and he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.

The American basketball team announced that they would not give up the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. 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 popped the ball into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury discussed 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.

Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the spirit of sport: the pursuit (追求) of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The sportsman representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation’s hopes and dreams.

A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world’s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps eh greatest of international sporting success. Mention “ Argentina ” to someone and the chances are that he’ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map ”.

Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won the World Cup. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.

So am I arguing that international competitions kill the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is better than all others? Not really. But it’s nice to know that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best.

1.What is mainly discussed in this passage is _________.

A. why international sport is necessary

B. what international sport is like

C. how international sport goes on

D. what disadvantages international sport has

2.Those who are against international competitions think that ________.

A. sport should not be so popular           B. sport should not be competitive

C. sport should be for personal purpose     D. sport should be made easier

3.We can infer from the passage that the underlined word “ irrational ” means_________.

A. against reasonable behavior          B. having much knowledge

C. unable to understand                 D. eager to know

4.What does the writer mean by saying that winning the World Cup “ put Argentina on the map”_____

A. Argentina has the best football player

B. Argentina has become world-famous for football

C. Football is very popular in Argentina

D. Argentina has begun to pay much attention to football

One of the odd things about some business organizations is that they spend so much money attracting new customers but spend so little keeping them. It just doesn’t make sense. However, taking customers for granted is a routine in some business organizations.

Loyal customers are an organization's only protection against bankruptcy(破产), and losing them because of neglect or indifference is really wrong. Not only do satisfied customers continue to buy by themselves, but they often encourage others to buy. This is advertising that doesn't cost a penny. Although there are always problems in giving good service to customers, maintaining their business isn't all that difficult. It's a matter of attitude, of believing that everyone who buys from you is entitled to the best treatment you can deliver. Plus giving just a little more than you have to.

There are always problems in giving good service to customers. The reason, of course, is that no organization is perfect, and there's many a slip: unreasonable delays in filling orders, shipping the wrong goods, failing to answer letters promptly, and so on. Sometimes these errors or failures can't be helped. For example, if you can't get parts because of material shortages or a transportation strike, customers may be denied the goods they've ordered.

No matter who is at fault, customers whom you value highly should generally be given the benefit of the doubt. The old saying that all customers should be treated alike is a myth. Customers who repeatedly place large orders and pay for them will naturally, get more attention than those who buy infrequently and have to be badgered to pay what they owe. However, you have to make the assumption that all customers are good unless proved otherwise.

1.From the second paragraph, we can know that ____________.

A. satisfied customers should always be well serviced

B. devoted customers are lifelines of business organizations

C. companies can employ customers to advertise their products

D. it is hard for organizations to offer good services to their customers

2.Which of the following statements might the author agree with?

A. Only regular customers deserve good treatments

B. New customers are treated well in large organizations

C. Some errors and failures in business are unavoidable

D. Both an organization and their customers are responsible for certain errors

3. What does the author imply by saying “all customers should be treated alike is a myth”?

A. It’s not true that all customers are treated equally

B. It is an old story that customers receive equal treatment

C. It is possible that customers should enjoy the same treatment

D. It’s a rule that customers should share equal and fair rights

4. The main idea of the passage is best summarized as “_________”.

A. new customers are kings for business organizations

B. taking customers for granted is regulation in business organizations

C. maintaining customers is the most important thing to business organizations

D. business organizations need spend so much money attracting new customers

Some scientists believe that one of the most intelligent beings on Earth is in fact the octopus (章鱼).

Octopuses usually live at the bottom of river mouths and seas-areas which are not attractive to researchers. They are not social animals so it can be hard to study their interaction with others. And the octopus’ intelligence is not easy for humans to understand. When we observe some animals such as rats or dogs, we can often understand their behavior. Octopuses，however can seem like aliens (外星人). Scientists need to have a lot of imagination to understand what an octopus is thinking!

In the 1950s, the US Air Force sponsored scientists to study the way octopuses use their brains. They hoped that they could use this knowledge to help them build better computers. However, their brains were so complex that the scientists felt it of no significance to continue with it. Octopuses have a very complex nervous system and recent research suggests that they have some of their intelligence inside each arm, which means that each arm can “think” for itself. It also appears that they have a good memory, perhaps similar to a cat’s.

Perhaps the most striking thing about octopuses is their ability to change their color and body pattern. They do this to camouflage themselves to avoid their enemies and also to communicate with others. They can completely change their appearance in less than a second. It can change its skin to look like rocks, sand or planktron (浮游生物).

Some scientists have even suggested that these different patterns and colors are in fact a very hard language-and that each design is a different verb，adjective or noun. But nobody has been able to work out what they might be saying. There’s a long way to go to get to know the octopus completely.

1.What can we infer about the octopus’ intelligence from Paragraph 2?

A.It does not attract scientists. B.Little has been known about it.

C.It is equal to the cat’s or dog’s. D.Much has been done about it.

2.What can we say about scientists’ study on the octopus in the 1950s?

A.They had to give it up eventually. B.They used computers to help.

C.They found its arms could think. D.They judged it lived like a cat.

3.What does the underlined word “camouflage” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A.Relax. B.Strengthen. C.Hide. D.Express.

4.What does the author think of the octopuses?

A.They are the smartest animals. B.They’re easy to be seen in the sea.

C.It is useful to copy their language. D.It is difficult to understand them.
