18、A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案。AThe Olympic Games are seen as the greatest test of an athlete's ability and are supposed to celebrate the spirit of fair play. But in fact, sportsmen have been using drugs to cheat their way to victory since the Games first began.In the early years, athletes ate mushrooms and

19、 plant seeds to improve their performance. Nowadays, this kind of cheating has a namedoping.Just last month, Britain's top sprinter Dwain Chambers and several American athletes tested positive for the drug THG. Until a coach secretly gave a sample of THG to scientists, no one knew how to test fo

20、r it.“We're like policemen chasing criminalsathletes are always adapting and looking for areas we haven't investigated，”said Jacques de Ceaurriz, a French anti­doping expert.Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, many cheats have been caught out.

21、 The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson.He broke the 100 metres world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to action, only

22、 to be found positive again and banned forever.Sports organizations promised that cheating on this scale would not happen again.Experts are also worried that doping can damage a person's health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney diseases, and women may experience reproducti

23、ve problems.As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achievedand that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene technology.“For the moment, genetic doping does not exist，”said de Ceaurriz.

24、 “Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easilythe scientific community will not let it happen”41Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?ANot every Olympic champion is a real champion.BDwain Chambers has been caught doping because of an honest coach.CEating mushroom i

25、s a kind of doping.DThere may be some drugs that scientists don't know how to test for.42The underlined word“investigated”most probably means_.Aexamined or inquired intoBmade use ofCprevented usingDpunished for43Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?ADoping didn't appear until

26、 the 1968 Olympics was held.BSeveral American athletes were found to have taken THG by a coach last month.CBen Johnson was found out cheating twice in the 1988 Olympics.DDoping has begun since the Olympic Games first started.44Doping has had effects such as the following EXCEPT that_.Ait can make it

27、 difficult for women to have babiesBit damages the women's working abilityCit makes sports and games unfairDit can do harm to organs such as liver and kindneyBMusic died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as

28、 part of the high­school curriculum.The committee decided that teaching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to m

29、ake sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be lost. If students fail the state standardized test, it is not the fault of drama and music classesthey are failing because the“academic”classes are not sufficient.It is painful to think of how many students will be discouraged f

30、rom singing, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the ar

31、ts are not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue.Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, wellrounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through artther

32、e is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledgecertainly not a good preparation for the real world.45Music and drama are not included in the high­school curriculum mainl

33、y because_.Athe school committee pays no attention to themBthe school is afraid of losing financial supportCthe students are not interested in both of themDthe state standardized test is more important46Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThe sufficiency of the classes determine

34、s students' performance in the mastery test.BQuite a few students are discouraged from music and art in today's school system.CStudents can be musicians and artists only if they can afford private music lessons.DThe school committee completely influences students' attitude towards the ar

35、ts.47We can learn that music and art can_.Amotivate students in creativity and expressionBmake students round­shaped people in futureCprovide students with analytical thinkingDprevent students graduating from high school48The best title of the passage can be_AWho Killed Music and Drama?BCan Cur

36、riculum Go Without Music?CWhy is Music So Important?DHow To Prepare For the Real World?CBritain is a popular tourist place.But tours of the country have pros and cons(正反面)Good newsFree museum.No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities(古物)Pop music.Britain is the only country that c

37、an match the USA in this field.Black cabs.London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.Choice of food.Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.Fashion.Not only do fashion junkies(有瘾者)love deeply and respect highly

38、 brand names such as Vivienne Westwood，Alexander McQueen，street styles are justly loved.Bad newsPoor service.“It's part of the image of the place.People can dine out on the rudeness they have never experienced，”says Professor Tony Seaton of Luton University's International Tourism Research C

39、enter.Poor public transport.Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists，although the overcrowded London tube is inexplicably popular.Rain.Still in the number one complaint.Overpriced hotel.The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.Licensing hours.

40、Alcohol is in short after 11 pm.even in “24­hour cities”49What do tourists complain most?ARain. BPoor public transport.CPoor service. DOverpriced hotels.50What do we learn about pop music in Britain and the USA through this passage?APop music in Britain is better than that in the US.BPop music

41、in Britain is as good as that in the US.CPop music in Britain is quite different from that in the US.DPop music in Britain is not so good as that in the US.51When is alcohol not easy to get in Britain?AAt 900 at night. BAt 1000 at night.CAt 1200 at night. DAt 1030 at night.52Which of the following i

42、s TRUE according to the passage?AYou have to pay to visit the museums.BIt's very cheap to live in a hotel there.CThe public transport is poor there.DYou cannot find Chinese food there.DEscaping a fire is a serious matter. Knowing what to do before a fire breaks out can save a life. For example,

43、people should know the safety measures to take before opening a hall door during a fire. Also, make sure everyone knows how to unlock doors that may be in the escape path. At times, a key is needed to unlock a door from the inside. So, keep the key in the lock. Or, you can put the key on a key ring

44、and put it where it can be found easily.If you live in a flat, know the ways you can use to get out. Show everyone in the family these paths. Remind everyone of the importance of using stairways or fire escapes, not lifts.From most homes and lower floors of a block of flats, escape through windows i

45、s possible. Learn the best way of leaving by a window with the least chance of serious injury.In a home fire, windows are often the only means of escape. The second floor window still is uaually not more than 13 feet from the ground. An average person, hanging by the finger tips, will have a drop of

46、 about six feet to the ground. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building. Roll away from the building when you land.Windows are also useful when you're waiting for help. Often you'll be able to stay in the room for several minutes if you keep the door clos

47、ed and the window open. Keep you head low in the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof, a person can either drop to the ground or await rescue. D

48、ropping onto sidewalk or pavement might end in injury. Bushes, soft earth, and grass can help to break a fall. A rope ladder should be considered when the drop is too great.In a town where the fire department acts quickly, it may be best to wait for rescue. Close the doors and wait by an open window

49、 for help. Shout for help. Be sure to close the door before opening a window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.53We can learn from the passage that windows are_.Aeasily broken Beasy to catch fireCgood escape paths Duseful to put out a fire54If you happen to be in a room during a

50、fire, it's a good idea to_.Aopen a window Buse the liftsCstand quite still Dput out the fire55We can learn from the article that in a home fire_.Apeople should close the window and open the doorBsoft earth can reduce the chance of being injuredCit's always safer to jump out than to stayDrope

51、 ladders should not be used56What is the main idea of this article?AWe can turn to the firemen during a fire.BWe should keep in mind the escape paths.CPeople should know what to do before a fire breaks out.DPeople should find help as soon as possible during a fire.ERising above the namesI was shoppi

52、ng in the supermarket when I heard a young voice.“Mom, come here! There's this lady here my size！”The mother rushed to her son; then she turned to me to apologize.I smiled and told her, “It's okay.” Then talked to the boy, “Hi, I'm Darry Kramer. How are you？”He studied me from head to to

53、e, and asked, “Are you a little mommy？”“Yes, I have a son，” I answered.“Why are you so little？” he asked.“It's the way I was born，” I said. “Some people are little. Some are tall. I'm just not going to grow any bigger.” After I answered his other questions, I shook the boy's hand and lef

54、t.My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf (侏儒). Despite this, I did all the t

55、hings other kids did when I was growing up.I didn't realize how short I was until I started school. Some kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. I began to hate the first day of school each year. New students would always stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.But I learned to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole
