17、ht as well（D）would rather not40 In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations. The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus, king of the Olympian Gods, eventually lost its local character, became first a national event and the
18、n, international.The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus. Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Geece. Slaves, women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete. The exact sequence of events is uncertain, but events included boys gymnastics, boxing, wres
19、tling, horse racing and field events.On the last day of the Games, all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads. So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory. Although Olympic winners received no prize mo
20、ney, they were, in fact, richly rewarded by their state authorities. How their results compared with modern standards, we unfortunately have no means of telling.Nowadays, the Games are held in different countries in turn. The host country provides vast facilities, including a stadium, swimming pools
21、 and living accommodation, but competing countries pay their own athletes expenses.The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch, lighted on Mount Olympus by the suns rays. It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium. The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient G
22、reek athletic ideals, and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony. The well-known Olympic flag, however, is a modern conception: the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.41 In ancient Greece, the Olympic Games_.（A）were merel
23、y national athletic festivals（B） were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious color（C） had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous position（D）were primarily national events with few foreign participants42 In the early days of ancient Olympic Games_.（A）only make Gr
24、eek athletes were allowed to participate in the games（B） all Greeks, irrespective of sex or social status, were allowed to take part in（C） all Greeks, with the exception of women, were allowed to compete in the Games（D）all male Geeeks were qualified to compete in the Games43 The order of athletic ev
25、ents at the ancient Olympics_.（A）has not definitely been established（B） varied according to the number of foreign competitors（C） was decided by Zeus, in whose honor the Games were held（D）was considered unimportant44 Modern athletes results cannot be compared with those of ancient runners because_.（A
26、）the Greeks had no means of recording the results（B） they are much better（C） details such as the time were not recorded in the past（D）they are much worse45 Nowadays, the athletes expenses are paid for_.（A）out of the prize money of the winners（B） out of the funds raised by the competing nations（C） by
27、 the athletes themselves（D）by contributions45 There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among “situations vacant“, although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among “situations wanted“, althou
28、gh it is not placed by someone looking for a job, either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.“Contact us before writing your application“, or “Make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history“, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent
29、success of such a specialized service, of course, is a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae(or job history), with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.There was a time when
30、job seekers simply wrote letters of application. “Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams“, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, ev
31、erything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more so
32、phisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. “Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for“, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special
33、feature specially designed for the job interview.There is no doubt, however, that it is increasing in number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.46 The new type of advertisement which is
34、 appearing in newspaper columns_.（A）informs job hunters of the opportunities available（B） promises useful advice to those looking for employment（C） divides available jobs into various types（D）informs employers of the people available for work47 Nowadays a demand for this specialized type of service
35、has been created because_.（A）there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people（B） there are so many top-level jobs available（C） there are so many people out of work（D）the job history is considered to be a work of art48 In the past it was expected that first job hunters would_.（A）write an initial
36、 letter giving their life history（B） pass some exams before applying for a job（C） have no qualifications other than being able to read and write（D）keep any detailed information until they obtained an interview49 Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in th
37、e letter _.（A）something that would attract attention to ones application（B） hinted information about the personality of the applicant（C） ones advantages over others in applying for the job（D）an occasional trick with the aggressive approach50 The job history has become such an important document beca
38、use _.（A）there has been an increase in the number of jobs advertised（B） there has been an increase in the number of applicants with degrees（C） jobs are becoming much more complicated nowdays（D）the other processes of applying for jobs are more complicated50 In cities with rent control, the city gover
39、nment sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent c
40、ontrol may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people
41、who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The mini
42、mum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers
43、 that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, work
44、ers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore. employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages. Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions maybe correct
45、only if “other things are equal“. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questi
46、ons.51 There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may_.（A）cause a shortage of apartments（B） worry those who rent apartments as homes（C） increase the profits of landlords（D）encourage landlords to invest in building apartment52 We can safely say that rent control_.（A）will always benefit those
47、who rent apartments（B） is unnecessary（C） will bring negative effects in the long run（D）is necessary under all circumstances53 The problem of unemployment will arise_.（A）if the minimum wage is set too high（B） if the minimum wage is set too low（C） if the workers are unskilled（D）if the maximum wage is
48、set54 The passage tells us_.（A）the relationship between supply and demand（B） the possible results of government controls（C） the necessity of government control（D）the urgency of getting rid of government controls55 Which of the following statements is NOT true?（A）The results of economic decisions can
49、 not always be predicted.（B） Minimum wage can not always protect employees.（C） Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.（D）Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.55 The age of gilded youth is over. Todays under thirties are the first
