James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family
moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
“J. C.,” he replied.
She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He
had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten
games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back
hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that
drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try,
event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens’ victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his
success would come to be regarded as not only athletic(体育的) but also political. Hitler did not
congratulate any of the African and American winners.
“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn’t go to Berlin to shake hands with him,
anyway.”
Having returned from Berlin, he received no telephone call from the president of his own
country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his
death.
Owens’ Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after
a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
“Sure, it bothered(烦扰) me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
In time, however, his gold medals changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,”
he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”
40. Owens got his other name “Jesse” when .
A. he went to Ohio State University B. his teacher made fun of him
C. his teacher took “J. C.” for “Jesse” D. he won gold medals in the Big Ten meet.
41. In the Big Ten meet, Owens .
A. hurt himself in the back B. succeeded in setting many records
C. tried every sports event but failed D. had to give up some events
42. We can infer from the text that Owens was treated unfairly in the US at that time because .
A. he was not of the right race B. he was the son of a poor farmer
C. he didn’t shake hands with Hitler D. he didn’t talk to the US president on the phone
43. When Owens says “They have kept me alive over the years,” he means that the medals .
A. have been changed for money to help him live on
B. have made him famous in the US
C. have encouraged him to overcome difficulties in life
D. have kept him busy with all kinds of jobs
44. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. Jesse Owens, a Great American Athlete B. Golden Moment - a Life-time Struggle
C. Making a Living as a Sportsman D. How to Be a Successful Athlete

We walked in so quietly that the nurse at the desk didn’t even lift her eyes from the book. Mum
pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth
open in surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly
to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the
nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, “Very dirty floors.”
“Yes. I’m glad they’ve finally decided to clean them,” the nurse answered. She looked at Mum
strangely and said, “But aren’t you working late?”
Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down
the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to write in the big
book.
After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and
took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said,
“Thank you.”
Outside, Mum told me, “Dagmar is fine. No fever.”
“You saw her, Mum?”
“Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad
will stop worrying as well. It’s a fine hospital. But such floors! A mop is no good. You need a

Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is
why some friendships don’t last long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn
to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means
learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do
not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you
may lose your fiend’s trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your
lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can
be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you
help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with each other. Something may go
wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be
a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try
to put yourself in your friend’s place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If
you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.
52. Some friendships don’t last long because _________.
A. there are too many people who want to make friends.
B. some people receive friendship but don’t give friendship back.
C. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others.
D. they don’t know friendship is something serious.
53. According to the passage, honesty is __________.
A. something countable B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money D. more important than anything else.
54. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage.?
A. Always tell your friends the truth
B. Sharing your mind with your friends is of great value.
C. Discussing your problems with your friends often helps to solve the problem.
D. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.
55. In the third paragraph, the underlined word ‘they’ refers to(指) __________.
A. generosity and friendship B. generosity and sharing
C. your ideas and feelings D. your clothes

Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
Hosting the Olympics successfully is, perhaps, the greatest glory for a city.
However, before transforming the dream into reality, the benefits and drawbacks of
hosting the Olympics should be considered carefully.
Hosting the Olympics surely would bring about much gain to a city. Boom of the
local economy, more jobs, and the possibility of generating income all sound
extremely attractive to the municipal government. At the same time, better
infrastructure (基础设施), cleaner environment, enjoying the wonderful game with
hundreds of sports elites ( 精 英 ) and entertainment stars, and the opportunity of
contacting people from all over the world also seem exciting to the citizens. Besides,
the hosting will definitely promote the patriotic emotion and pride, as well as the
moral behavior in local people. In most cases, hosting the Olympics is well supported
by both the public and the central government.
But this is not the entire view of the pretty picture. If we look from another angle,
the Olympic hosting might bring about some side-effects to a city.
First, the environmental impacts, including the increasing exhaust smoke of cars,
more pressure on water resources, huge amount of wasted leaflets and other materials
used for public activities, are most probably neglected. In order to broaden the streets,
some trees may have to be cut. Near the construction site, the tiny dust may float in
the air for a long time. Reduction of farmland may be caused by the need of setting up
new sports centre or accommodation facilities. These environmental consequences
can be especially serious in a resource-limited and thickly-populated city in a
third-world country. Second, if talking about the economic benefit, it should not be
forgotten that a quick increase may lead to bubble (泡沫) growth, which may easily
crash. If not well managed and organized, the big event may not be so profitable, and
the new facilities may be forever empty after the games. Yes, there have been cases
that host cities ended up with enormous debts.
No one stops eating merely because too much food might hurt his stomach and
make him ill. Since we have bid for it, what we can do is to make the benefits most
and reduce the drawbacks least.
Title: Make the benefits most, reduce the drawbacks least
Two (1) _______ of the
coin.
The Olympics may become a glory if (2) _______
successfully.
Drawbacks may be (3) _______ about as well.
The (4) _______ of
hosting the Olympics.
They city’s infrastructure gets (5) _______ and its
economy, education, employment may benefit a lot.
There are more chances to get in (6) _______ with the
people from all over the world.
People are (7) _______ of their country.
The disadvantages of
hosting the Olympics.
The games may lead to environmental (8) _______.
Too quick increase in economy gets crashed after the
event.
The facilities may get (9) ______ after the games.
We should think about the (10) _______ drawbacks while preparing for the
Olympics so as to make the event a really beneficial one.
