25、ernational 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: those international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in

26、 both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages 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 nation

27、al contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation 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 convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and t

28、hat their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.“ The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years. The A

29、merican 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.

30、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 USA 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 stan

31、d. 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 teams might be too much to hope for.

32、But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism. 31 According to the author, recent Olympic Games have_. （ A） created goodwill between the nations （ B） bred only false national pride （ C） barely showed any international friendship （ D） led

33、to more and more misunderstanding and hatred 32 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 shou

37、） Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game. （ D） International contests are liable for misunderstanding between nations. 36 Whats the reason unhappy incidents happening in the Olympic Games. （ A） Sport is competitive rather than for the love of the game. （ B） Some pe

Held in Rio de Janeiro, the countrys biggest city, the carnival began on February 20

39、 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momothe Lord of Misrule (无序之皇 ) On his orders, each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music. The following six days are so fun of parades, street dancing, fantastic clothes and partying (聚会 ) that many people forget about eating and sl

40、eeping “It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio.“ said Bob Nadkarni, a British man who has lived in the city for several years. For many Brazilians, the centre piece of the carnival is samba (桑巴舞 ) , a typical Brazilian dance. Every year, tens of

41、 thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat (节拍 ) of the Latin music. The climax to this street party is the float (彩车 ) parade, in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through

42、 the city. On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen, who is chosen at the end of the party, while most people are free to enjoy the celebrations. Rios police officers have to keep a clear head. Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week, the Brazilia

43、n Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police. Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves, in honour of the citys founder who was said to have been raised by a she

44、-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so. Despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the countrys culture. 37 According to the passage, during the Carnival people in Rio did all of the following EXCEPT _. （ A） dancing in the streets. （ B） putting on colorful clothes （ C）

The tw

49、o people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 percent of the jobs wages, its holidays and its other benefits.
