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. 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.
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
34、ld be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation. （ D） The Federation should be dissolved. 33 The basketball example implied that_. （ A） too much patriotism was displayed in the incident （ B） the announcement to prolong the match was wrong （ C） the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the
35、decision （ D） the American team was right in rejecting the silver medals 34 The author gives the two examples in paragraphs 2 and 3 to show_. （ A） how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games （ B） that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be （ C） that c
36、ompetitiveness in the games discourages international friendship （ D） that unfair decisions are common in Olympic Games 35 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
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
38、ople dont abide by the rules. （ C） Misunderstanding and hatred. （ D） Too much patriotism was stressed in the incident. 36 If there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet, it is the Rio Carnival (狂欢节 ). 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. Of course, some job sharers take a smaller or larger share of the responsibilities of the position, receiving a lesser or greater share of the benefits. Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work
