The Olympic Games
Good afternoon, students and teachers. As a member of the International Olympic Committee, I am delighted to have been invited to your school to talk to you about the history and significance of the Olympic Games. I'll share some interesting facts and stories with you, and then we'll have time for questions.
Do you know when the ancient Olympic Games began? It was in the year 776 BC. They were held at Olympia in Greece every four years, for almost 12 centuries, until AD 394.
Some of the sports from the ancient Olympics are still seen today, such as the long jump, wrestling and running. At the ancient Olympics, by tradition the athletes were all men and they had to compete wearing no clothes. Single women were allowed to take part in their own competition, at a separate festival in honour of Hera, the wife of the Greek god Zeus. Today, both male and female athletes from around the world can take part, no matter what nation they come from.
The contemporary Olympics were first held in 1896, in Athens. It was a Frenchman, Pierre de Coubertin, who brought the Olympics back to life. He

dreamt that the Olympics would make it possible for people of all countries to live side by side in peace. Now people all over the world are helping to realize this dream. Among them are many well-known athletes.
Did you know that perhaps the most famous boxer of all time first came to public attention during the 1960 Rome Olympics? He won the gold medal for the USA, under his birth name Cassius Clay. Afterwards, this young man went on to win the World Heavyweight Boxing Championship in 1964 and later changed his name to the one we all know, Muhammad Ali. He returned to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996 to light the Olympic flame at the opening ceremony.
Another sports star I would like to mention is Michael Jordan. Everyone knows of his success in the NBA, but do you know that he helped the USA basketball team win the gold medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics? Jordan also returned to the Olympics after many years, but unlike Muhammad Ali, he was still competing for medals. At the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Jordan won his second Olympic gold medal as a member of the so-called 'Dream Team'.
Chinese athletes have also made important contributions to the Olympic Games. At the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the People's Republic of China returned to the Olympics after 32 years' absence. I am sure the whole of China must have felt proud when Xu Haifeng won the first gold medal for his country. Deng Yaping, who won four Olympic gold medals in 1992 and 1996, is perhaps the greatest female table tennis player the world has ever seen. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Xiang excited people all over Asia when he became the first Asian to win the gold medal in the men's 110-metre hurdles.
The Chinese led the way at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. For the first time in history, the Chinese women's gymnastics team won the gold medal. However, the athlete that some people remember most was Zhang Ning, a former badminton champion. At the age of 33, she was much older than the other players. Yet, she hung on to win the gold medal in the final match.
These are some of the Olympic athletes who have brought joy to people across the world with their attempts to push the boundaries of human achievement. We are looking forward to seeing more of them in future Olympic Games. Join me in wishing the Olympic Movement a successful future to match its past glory.
Thank you. Now, are there any questions?

Reading strategies: reading a speech
A speech is a formal talk a person gives to an audience. A good speech should keep the audience interested in all the time. To achieve this, the speaker may tell an interesting story, use quotations or present statistics. Asking questions can also be very helpful. In this text, Mr Johnson asks several questions. He does not expect this audience to actually answer the questions; however, he does want to get their brains working. When you read the speech, you need to think of the answers to the questions the speaker asks. All these questions are related to the main topic and by answering them you can follow the speaker’s train of thought.
That is: A good speech should keep the audience interested in all the time.
Tell: an interesting story
Use: quotations or present statistics
Asking questions can also very helpful.
2010•江西E篇)
Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noise with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.
Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animal. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing, Birds can fly thousands miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.
Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skills? Biologist can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.
72. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is ________.
A. our ability to use language B. the miracle of technology
C. the amazing power of nature D. our ability to make noises with mouth
73. What feature of “body language” mentioned in the passage is common to both human and animals?
A. Lifting heads when sad. B. Keeping long faces when angry.
C. Bristling hair when ready to attack. D. Bowing heads when willing to obey.
74. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3?
A. Body language is unique to humans.
B. Animals express emotions just as humans do.
C. Humans have other powers of communication.
D. Humans are no different from animals to some degree.
75. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. the development of body language.
B. the special role humans play in nature
C. the power to convey information to others
D. the difference between humans and animals in language use
Did you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? The average women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent(聪明的) than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the latter, the amount of “thinking” brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.
It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides
of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.
There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial(空间的) tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!
The differences begin when fetuses(胎儿) are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors(祖先), among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.
If all this disappoints you, it shouldn’t. “The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it.” says a biologist.
1. Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?
A. Women’s brain is 10% less than men’s B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.
C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain. D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.
2. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?
A. Women prefer doing many things at a time. B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.
C. Women do not need to tell directions. D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.
3. Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?
A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.
B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills
C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.
D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.
4. What is the writer’s attitude in writing this passage?
A. Defensive. B. Persuasive. C. Supportive. D. Objective.

Project: Making a speech about sport
There are many aspects to sport. What makes a sport a sport, and not just a game or an activity? How do we decide which sport we should take part in or watch? What is the purpose of sport? Is sport just about winning, or are there other reasons to take part in it?
Read the following article and story. They will help you see the different kinds of things we can talk about regarding sport.
How does a sport enter the Olympics?
Entering a sport into the Olympics can be a long process. There are many requirements that must be met before a sport can be considered by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). First, a sport must have its own international association. Next, it must be practised by men in at least 75 countries on at least four continents, or practised by women in at least 40 countries and on three continents. That's not all. In order for a new sport to be added, another sport must be dropped. This helps the IOC keep the Olympics' budget under control.
Which ones are out?
Some sports that were part of the Olympics in the past have been removed. These include familiar sports, such as baseball, as well as more unusual sports, such as power boating. These sports were judged to have become less popular, and had to make way for new sports which are more popular.
Which ones are in?
Some sports have been added, such as tae kwon do, which was first included in the Olympics in 2000. The IOC is planning to change some of the sports in the next few years. In 2016, rugby and golf, which were earlier played at the Olympics and then dropped, will be included again, as they are now very popular and are played all around the world.
Which ones are still trying?
Wushu is still applying to get into the Olympics. The IOC has still not approved the sport due to the concern about the balance of sports-there are already many other sports in the Olympics that are connected with fighting, such as tae kwon do and boxing. However, the IOC is considering changing the number and type of Olympic sports in the future, so wushu fans may finally get what they are hoping for.
Winning isn’t everything
It was near the end of the football match, and neither team had scored. The captain of the Eagles passed the ball to a teammate, and then ran down near the Kangaroos' goal. His teammate passed the ball back to him, but the shot was too high. The Eagles' captain knocked the ball to the ground with his hand, and then kicked it and scored. The referee blew the whistle; the match was over and the Eagles had won. Of course, the goal should not have counted. However, now it was too late.
Later, a reporter asked the Eagles' captain what had happened.
'We won, and that is all that matters,' the captain said.
The Kangaroos were out of the tournament, while the Eagles continued on. However, with the referees now keeping a close watch on the Eagles, they struggled and lost their next match. Afterwards, they complained that the referees had been unfair.
The Eagles went home angry and bitter because they did not win the tournament. Meanwhile, the Kangaroos went home and trained harder than before.
In the next tournament, the Kangaroos defeated the Eagles by a score of 5 to 1. They went on to the final match against the Bears. The match was tied with minutes to go. The Kangaroos' captain was near the Bears' goal. A teammate passed the ball to him, and by accident it hit his hand. The Kangaroos' captain stopped the match and let the Bears have the ball. Within minutes, the Bears scored and won.
Later, a reporter asked the Kangaroos' captain what had happened.
'They won,' the captain said. 'They were the better team.'
The Kangaroos went home proud that they had done their best. Many of the Kangaroos' players became friends with the players on the Bears' team for the rest of their lives. In defeat, the Kangaroos found something more precious than victory-they found friendship, honour and respect.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed (展现) herself as she did nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate (巨头) Aristotle Onassis Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social, Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some ideas about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing（追求）a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyers and Joseph Campbell to transform their popular television conversation into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt too. with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography (自传), Moonwalk.
Jacqueline may had been hired for her name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.

A. because fond of reading after working as an editor
B. was in charge of publishing 100 books
C. promoted her books through social relations
D. gained a lot from her career as an editor
69. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that ________.

B. Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor
C. Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady
D. Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor

A. Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 years
B. Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually
C. Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited
D. Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known
