19、e 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 both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourages int
20、ernational 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 national contests. One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation after the hockey(曲棍球 )final. There
21、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 that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in a rage when he said:“ This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the Int
22、ernational 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 American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their conte
23、st. 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 then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the baske
24、t. 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 stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals. Incidents of this kind will continue as long as spo
25、rt 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. 21 Accordin

32、6 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 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo the Lord of Misrule(无序之皇 ). On his orders, each year people turn the cit
33、y 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 sleeping. “It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio.“ said Bob Nadkarni
34、, 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 thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets, following the beat(节拍 )of the Latin mus
35、ic. 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 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
36、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 Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio. The street fighting, robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very di
37、fficult 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-wolf. Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so. Despite the troubles, the carnival will remain a symbol of the countrys c
38、ulture. 27 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） eating a lot of food. （ D） holding exciting parades. 28 Which of the following is not true about samba? （ A） Its a typical Braz
39、ilian dance. （ B） Its the centre piece of the carnivals. （ C） Brazilians usually dance it. （ D） Its a British dance. 29 How long does the carnival last? （ A） Six days. （ B） A whole week. （ C） Eight days. （ D） The whole of February. 30 The word “centerpiece“ in the 3rd paragraph means _. （ A） the mos
40、t important part （ B） the middle part （ C） the central part of the city （ D） the most attractive decoration 31 According to the passage, Bob Nadkami is_. （ A） a Brazilian who has come back from Britain （ B） a British man who visits Rio for the carnival （ C） a British man who has come to live in Braz
41、il （ D） a Brazilian who is attracted by the carnival 32 Which of the following statements is INCORRECT? （ A） The earliest carnivals were held in ancient Rome. （ B） Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Brazilians. （ C） Carnivals were originally a tradition of the Romans. （ D） The Brazilians h
42、ave integrated the Roman carnival into their culture. 32 Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work
43、 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 conventio
44、nal part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of
45、 hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other ac
46、tivities. As would be expected, women constitute the bulk of job sharers. A survey carded out in 1988 by Britains Equal Opportunities Commission revealed that 78 percent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar res
47、ults. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity of close cooperation when
48、 sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a positio
49、n. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals. 33 “Employee commitment“ in Paragraph 2 refers to the employees_. （ A） loyalty （ B） qualification （ C） experience （ D） achievement 34 Work sharing is different from job sharing in that_. （ A） it requires more working hours （ B） it depends on the employers
