2、swer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center. 0 Benjamin Franklin was Americas first internationally famous swimmer and swimmer teacher. As a boy Franklin lived in Boston, on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. There, during the warm summers he learned to swim. In 1717, at the age of
3、11, he tried out an early invention, which may well have been the first swim fins (鱼鳍 ) such as scuba (自携式水中呼吸器 ) divers use today. He made the fins by fitting a kind of web-shaped wooden sandal to the soles of his feet. He soon realized, however, that his swimming kick was linked to the inside of h
4、is foot and ankle as well as to the sole. As it turned out, Franklins “flippers“ were one of his least successful inventions. Franklin was always interested in getting the fullest enjoyment from life. While flying a kite one day he had another idea. Wanting to amuse himself with the kite and still s
5、wim, he lay on his back, held the kites stick in his hands and was carried along the surface of the water. (Although he often swam in Boston Harbor afterwards, Ben never again tried this method of travel. This was a pity, for if he had worn those wooden sandals while being pulled along by the kite,
6、he might have become the worlds first water-skier. ) Franklin continued to be a powerful swimmer, and once, during a long stay in London, he swam more than three miles down the Thames River. Not content with enjoying the sport, he studied manuals on swimming strokes and taught himself to do stunts (
7、绝技、惊险动作 ) in the water. He even considered opening a swimming school in London, but instead returned to Philadelphia and other pursuits. When he founded the University of Pennsylvania in 1740, he introduced the first compulsory college swim program. Franklins support for swimming may have come from
8、his belief that even ones leisure should be employed usefully. The overweight Franklin considered swimming a reducer of fatty tissue. His accomplishments in this sport were recognized in 1969, when he, along with 14 Olympic swimming champion, was introduced into the newly established “Swimming Hall
9、of Fame“ at Fort Lauderdale, Florida. 1 Which of the following is the best title for this passage? ( A) Franklin, the Famous Swimming Teacher. ( B) Franklin, the Great Inventor. ( C) Franklin, the Founder of Swimming Schools. ( D) Franklin, the Well-known Swimmer. 2 Franklin did all the following th
10、ings EXCEPT that_. ( A) he opened a swimming school when he was in London ( B) he invented the first swim flippers in Boston ( C) he almost became the worlds first water-skier ( D) he swam in order to lose his weight later 3 What does the word “manual“ mean in the fourth paragraph? ( A) Keyboard of
11、an organ, played with the hands. ( B) Natural or artificial fertilizer. ( C) Handbook or textbook. ( D) List of courses at a meal. 4 Franklins achievements in swimming_. ( A) were recognized when he was still alive ( B) were recognized after his death ( C) were recognized as soon as he became an Oly
12、mpic swimming champion ( D) are still not worldwide recognized 5 Whats the authors attitude toward Franklin? ( A) Compliment. ( B) Complaint. ( C) Objection. ( D) Criticism. 5 In the USA, 85% of the population over the age of 21 approve of the death penalty. In the many states which still have the d
13、eath penalty, some use the electric chair, which can take up to 20 minutes to kill, while others use gas or lethal injection. The first of these was the case of Ruth Ellis who was hanged for shooting her lover in what was generally regarded as a crime of passion. The second was hanged for murders wh
14、ich, it was later proved, had been committed by someone else. The pro-hanging lobby (赞成极刑的院外活动集团 ) uses four main arguments to support its call for the reintroduction of capital punishment. First there is the deterrence theory, which argues that potential murderers would think twice before committin
15、g the act if they knew that they might die if they were caught. The armed bank robber might, likewise, go back to being unarmed. The other two arguments are more suspect. The idea of retribution demands that criminals should get what they deserve: if a murderer intentionally set out to commit a crim
16、e, he should accept the consequences. Retribution, which is just another word for revenge, is supported by the religious doctrine of an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. The arguments against the death penalty are largely humanitarian (人道主义的 ). But there are also statistical reasons for opposi
17、ng it; the deterrence figures do not add up. In Britain, 1903 was the the record year for executions and yet in 1904 the number of murders actually rose. There was a similar occurrence in 1946 and 1947. If the deterrence theory were correct, the rate should have fallen. The other reasons to oppose t
18、he death penalty are largely a matter of individual conscience and belief. One is that murder is murder and that the state has no more right to take a life than the individual. The other is that Christianity advises forgiveness, not revenge. 6 All of the following death penalty methods are mentioned
19、 in the passage EXCEPT_. ( A) the electric chair ( B) the lethal injection ( C) the poisonous gas ( D) the shooting 7 According to the first four paragraphs, which of the following statements is NOT correct? ( A) Ruth Ellis was shot by his lover, which was regarded as a crime of passion. ( B) The de
20、ath penalty may help the potential murderers to arouse moral awareness. ( C) The intentional murderer should eat his own bitter fruit. ( D) According to the religious doctrine, punishment should be as severe as the injury suffered. 8 In Para. 3, “deterrence“ means_. ( A) proclamation ( B) protest (
21、C) prevention ( D) protection 9 We can learn from the last paragraph that_. ( A) neither the state nor the individual has the right to take a life ( B) the state has the right to take a life but the individual does not ( C) the death penalty has nothing to do with individual conscience and belief (
22、D) the deterrence figures have added up and the execution rate has fallen 10 The passage is mainly about_. ( A) the argument in favor of the death penalty ( B) the argument against the death penalty ( C) the argument about the abolition of the death penalty ( D) the argument about the reintroduction
23、 of the death penalty 10 Cyberspace (网络空间 ), data superhighways, multi media for those who have seen the future , the linking of computers, television and telephones will change our lives for ever. Yet for all the talk of a forthcoming technological utopia (乌托邦 ) little attention has been given to t
24、he implications of these developments for the poor. As with all new high technology, while the West concerns itself with the “how“, the question of “for whom“ is put aside once again. Economists are only now realizing the full extent to which the communications revolution has affected the world econ
