阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The Summer Olympic Games will be held in London, Britain from 27 July to 12 August. Competitors from around the world will compete for the gold, silver or bronze medals. For some athletes, winning is not a real possibility. However, they will strive to set personal and / or national bests in their events. Of course, many world records will also be broken during these games. The intensely competitive nature of the games, the strong national pride involved and the challenge in facing the best athletes from around the world combine to demand the top performances from each individual.
In a world where soccer (football), basketball, golf and tennis dominate television broadcasts, the Summer Olympic Games provide a chance to observe sports not usually covered. When was the last time you watched water polo, or fencing? Chances are you watched them during the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. In this age when many people are fortunate enough to have cable TV connections, spectators can watch a wide variety of athletic competitions.
Athletics and wrestling are probably the oldest sports in the Olympic Games. The tradition of these sports goes back to the original games held in ancient Greece over 2500 years ago. Some of my favorite events include the javelin throw, the high jump and the pole vault, as well as the hurdles. There will also be a wide variety of water sports that include canoeing, sailing and diving. Naturally, swimming is probably the most popular water sport with a wide variety of competitive events including backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, freestyle and more.
The summer games also include a number of events that have recently been introduced to the games. Kayaking and mountain biking, baseball and beach volleyball are just a few. I certainly haven’t mentioned all the sports - who would want to miss gymnastics - but you get the idea. Turn on your TV, relax and enjoy a moment of peace and togetherness in this struggling world of ours. The Summer Olympic Games provides an example that we all should follow: competition with respect.
21. What goal do many competitors have who probably won’t win medals?
A. Win an advertising contract
B. Set their personal or national best
C. No goals
D. beat the gold medal winner
22. Which is NOT mentioned as a motivation for top performance?
A. National pride
B. Financial gain
C. Intensely competitive of the games
D. Breaking the World record
23. According to the author, which sport is not listed as one of the oldest Olympic events?
A. Wrestling B. Kayaking
C. AthleticsD. hurdles
24. Which reason does the author give for the wide variety of viewing opportunities?
A. The newspaper B. National pride
C. Gambling D. Cable TV
25. Which example do the Olympic Games set?
A. Competition with respect
B. Win at all costs
C. National pride above everything
D. Struggling world of ours
四、读定任务
阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
All animal sports have their roots in historical customs: religious rituals; contests staged for audience entertainment; and warfare, hunting, and herding practices.
Centuries ago many ancient religions had rituals that involved bull slaughter. The Moors fought bulls from horseback, a practice that evolved into bullfighting during the Middle Ages. Blood sports, such as animal fighting, may have their roots in animal sacrifice, but were really popularized by the Romans as entertainment. Thousands of wild animals died in Rome’s Coliseum(大体育场) while doing battle with each other or with gladiators. These events were often more like slaughters than sports. The animals were usually tortured with hot spikes or even dabbed with burning pitch to make them fight more ferociously and violently. Blood sports surged in popularity in Europe during the Middle Ages. These included bears, bulls, and dogs or cocks (roosters) fighting with each other in various forums.
Sporting events involving horses have their origins in warfare, hunting, and herding practices. It was an event in the Greek Olympic Games as early as 664 B.C. Horse racing with riders became widespread during the Middle Ages, particularly in England. Human dependence on the horse during hunting and herding led to the creation of many other competitions in which horses excelled, such as jumping over obstacles or chasing lost cows.
