18、 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 then, international.The games took place in A
19、ugust 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, wrestling, horse racing and field events.On th
20、e 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 money, they were, in fact, richly rewarded b
21、y 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 and living accommodation, but competing c
22、ountries 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 Greek athletic ideals, and it burns through
23、out 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 merely national athletic festivals（B） were in t
24、he 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 Greek athletes were allowed to participate i

28、s45 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“, although it is not placed by someone looking for
29、 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 success of such a specialized service, of
30、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 job seekers simply wrote letters of applic
31、ation. “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, everything else could and should be saved fo
32、r 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 sophisticated was called for. The advice the
33、n 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 feature specially designed for the job int
34、erview.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 appearing in newspaper columns_.（A）inform
35、s 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 has been created because_.（A）there is a la
36、ck 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 letter giving their life history（B） pass
37、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 the letter _.（A）something that would attract
38、 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 because _.（A）there has been an increase in the
39、 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 government sets the maximum rent that a landlor
40、d 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 control may have negative effects. Landlord
41、s 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 who need apartments cannot find any. Accor
42、ding 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 minimum helps people who generally look for un
43、skilled, 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 that employers want decreases. Thus, crit
44、ics 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, workers cannot sell their services for less th
45、an 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 only if “other things are equal“. Economis
46、ts 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 questions.51 There is the possibility that setti
47、ng 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 who rent apartments（B） is unnecessary（C） w
48、ill 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 set54 The passage tells us_.（A）the relatio
49、nship 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 not always be predicted.（B） Minimum wage can not a
