The Olympic Flame
from the ancient games was reintroduced during the 1928 Olympic Games. An employee of the Electric
Utility of Amsterdam, lit the first Olympic flame in the
The modern practice
of moving the Olympic Flame via a relay system from
The relay, captured
in Leni Riefenstahl’s film, “
Although most of the time the torch with the Olympic Flame is still carried by runners, it has been transported in many different ways. The fire traveled by boat in 1948 to cross the English Channel, and it was first transported by airplane in 1952, when the fire traveled to Helsinki. All carriers in the torch relay to Stockholm, where these events were held instead, traveled on horseback.
Remarkable means of
transportation were used in 1976, when the flame was transformed to a radio
signal. From Athens,
this signal was transmitted by satellite to Canada, where it was received and used to trigger a laser beam to re-light the
flame. In 2000, the torch was carried under water by divers near the Great Barrier Reef. Other unique means of
transportation include a Native American canoe, a camel, and Concorde.
In 2004, the first global torch relay was
undertaken, a journey that lasted 78 days. The Olympic flame covered a distance
of more than
Another means of catching attention has been the lighting of the fire in the stadium. At the 1992 Barcelona Games, Paralympic archer Antonio Rebollo shot a burning arrow over the cauldron（大汽鍋）from a platform at the opposite end of the stadium. Two years later, the Olympic fire was brought into the stadium of Lillehammer by a ski jumper.
56. The practice of the Olympic Flame has been carried on for about_________.
A. 72 years B. 80 years C. 60 years D. 56 years
57. Which is NOT the means of Olympic flame transportation mentioned in the passage?

C. By swimming. D. By airplane.
58. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

C. as was illustrated by
Hitler, classical
D. there were not many Olympic torch carriers in the 1928 Olympic Games.

The report, World's Top Rivers at Risk, released ahead of World Water Day (22 March), lists the top ten rivers that are fast dying as a result of climate change, pollution and dams.
“All the rivers in the report symbolize the current freshwater crisis, which we have been signalling for years," says WWF Global Freshwater Programme Director Jamie Pittock.
"Poor planning and inadequate protection of natural areas mean we can no longer assume that water will flow forever. Like the climate change crisis, which now has the attention of business and government, we want leaders to take notice of the emergency facing freshwater now not later.”
Five of the ten rivers listed in
the report are in
Dams along the
The report calls on governments to better protect river flows and water allocations in order to safeguard habitats and people’s livelihoods.
“Conservation of rivers and wetlands must be seen as part and parcel of national security, health and economic success,” Pittock adds. “Emphasis must be given to exploring ways of using water for crops and products that do not use more water than necessary.”
In addition, cooperative agreements for managing shared resources, such as the UN Watercourses Convention, must be ratified and given the resources to make them work, says WWF.
“The freshwater crisis is bigger than the ten rivers listed in this report but it mirrors the extent to which unabated development is jeopardizing nature’s ability to meet our growing demands,” says Pittock. “We must change our mindset now or pay the price in the not so distant future.”(373)
59. According to the passage, which of the following is not the cause of severe water shortage?
A. Globe warming B. Less rainfall C. Pollution D. Poor planning
60. Judging from what Jamie Pittock says, he wants to ________.
A. make readers aware of the serious situation of water shortage
B. warn people not to waster water any longer
C. call on leaders to pay attention to the problem promptly
D. analyze the causes of the severe water shortage
61. We can easily learn from the passage that________.
A. the fresh water crisis will be out of control soon
B. Asia is facing the most severe challenge of water shortage
C. to better protect river flows and water allocations is the only solution
D. fish populations are of vital importance to national economic success
62. The underlined word “jeopardizing” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A. destroying B. improving C. losing D. stimulating
C
Seventeen-year-old Randy Waldron, Jr., was shocked when he applied for his first credit card and was denied. He was even more shocked by the reason: He failed to repay thousands of dollars in debt.
Waldron's identity had been stolen by his
father, who left when Randy was learning to walk. From 1982 to 1999, Randy
Waldron, Sr., used his son's Social Security number to obtain credit from
various merchants and lenders, then racked up tens of thousands of dollars in
debts. He declared bankruptcy in his son's name, which resulted in default
judgments against the younger Waldron. It has taken Randy Jr., now a
24-year-old flight attendant, years to untangle the mess.
Waldron isn't alone. Identity theft is this country's fastest-growing crime --
and, increasingly, ID thieves are targeting children. Their clean credit and
absence of criminal histories make them ideal victims.
Linda Foley,
co-executive director of the
Some dishonest persons
use children's names and Social Security numbers to ring up massive debts;
others use children's identities in place of their own when caught committing
other crimes; still others sell identification information on the black market
to illegal immigrants, fellow criminals or even terrorists. The theft brings
its victims enormous financial and emotional trauma創(chuàng)傷, in part because the identity
abuse often goes undetected for years.
Dealing with child
identity theft after it happens is extremely difficult. Laws in many states are
insufficient to handle the crime's complexity, and financial institutions are
often less than helpful. Randy Waldron, Jr., has worked tirelessly for eight
years to straighten out his credit record, and he continues to deal with the
fallout. "It's been a very long and arduous battle," he says.
"Recovering my identity was really the absolute hardest part. I think a
lot of victims assume the problem will go away." (348)
63. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A. Child Identity Theft
B. How to Avoid Identity Theft
C. Recover My Identity
D. Look out for Family Members
64. Why do children easily become the targets of identity theft?
A. Because they cannot read or write at a young age.
B. Because they have empty credit and criminal records.
C. Because they are too young to protect themselves.
D. Because identity theft can’t be found in time.
65. With the help of the child’s identity, the criminals can do the following except ________.
A. obtain credits from various merchants and lenders
B. substitute for their own identities when caught committing crimes
C. straighten out their own credit record
D. sell identification information on the black market
66. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. New laws should be made to help the identity theft victims
B. Children should never trust their family members
C. Financial institutions should be responsible for the identity theft
D. Identity theft is the fastest-growing crime in the country

All day long he flew, and at night-time he arrived at the city. “Where shall I put up?” he said; “I hope the town has made preparations.”
Then he saw the statue on the tall column.
“I will put up there,” he cried; “it is a fine position, with plenty of fresh air.” So he flew down and settled just between the feet of the Happy Prince.

Then another drop fell.
“What is the use of a statue if it cannot keep the rain off?” he said; “I must look for a good chimney-pot,” and he determined to fly away.
But before he had opened his wings, a third drop fell, and he looked up, and saw--Ah! what did he see?
The eyes of the Happy Prince were filled with tears, and tears were running down his golden cheeks. His face was so beautiful in the moonlight that the little Swallow was filled with pity.
“Who are you?” he said.
“I am the Happy Prince.”
“Why are you weeping then?” asked the Swallow; “you have quite wetted me.”
“When I was alive and had a
human heart,” answered the statue, “I did not know what tears were, for I lived
in the

第四部分 任務型閱讀（共10小題；每小題1分，滿分10分）

Real policemen hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what they see on TV.
The first difference is that a policeman’s real life revolved round criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down a street after someone he wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty of stupid crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminal is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks, little effort is spent on searching.
Having made an arrest, a detective really starts to work. He has to prove his case in court and to do that he often has to gather a lot of different evidence.
A third big difference between the drama detective and the real one is the unpleasant pressures: first, as members of a police force, they always have to behave absolutely in accordance with the law. Secondly, as expensive public servants, they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.
If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simple-minded ― as he see it ― of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of eliminating crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detective feel, is that nine-tenths of their work is re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical(憤世嫉俗的).
Police in 71.________ world
Police on TV
Knowledge of 72.___ law
He has to know as much as a professional lawyer and applies it to their 73.____ work.
There is no 74.________ for them to know about it.

He 76.________ most of his working life to collecting and providing evidence needed to prove his case in court.
Time is spent finding criminals. Once the criminal is found, the story 77.______.
Different pressures
78.________ and the public put much pressure on detectives and policemen.
They got no pressure from the public.
Relationship with the society
He feels 79.________ from citizens, as they hold different 80.________ toward punishment of the criminals.
No contact with the public.

Hello, everyone,
Now I’ll tell you something about our research project The World Food Crisis on behalf of our group. As you know, food shortages have hit many countries in the world and even caused social unrest in some areas. But who is responsible for the current world food crisis? First, annual world grains output has declined because of climate change. Then lots of farmland has been lost due to the rapid development of industry and urbanization. Besides, faced with the rising energy prices, people have turned to the production of biofuels, which has worsened the severe situation.
Then what should we do to deal with the problem? On one hand, we should focus on the environmental protection and improve the ecology. On the other hand, strict measures should be taken to protect farmland. Of course, to build a harmonious world the developed countries should take their responsibilities to help the poor ones experiencing food shortage.
As for me, I will call on the people around me to live thriftily. And for the moment, I think, we should study hard to develop science and help solve the food shortage in the future.

M: Oh, er, well actually...
W: You don't have to come if you don't want to. You can stay in and write your essay on insects if you prefer!
M: No, it isn't that, but you see I've to help organize Jill's party tonight so I'm afraid I can't come to the show. Tell you what I thought? Why don't you come to the party instead?
W: Can I? Do you think Jill would mind if I did?
M: No. I'm sure she wouldn't. You have to bring a bottle of course, but it doesn't have to be expensive.
W: I hope not! I'm completely broke! The first thing I'll have to do is get rid of these tickets in order to pay for some wine. Who do you think...oh, look, there's Professor Shrimp. He likes Shakespeare's plays. See if he would like tickets.

A father of a victim said that his daughter bought two rile cakes and ate most of them on her way to school. Soon she felt sick and collapsed. "Luckily, she vomited the stuff out on the way to hospital. So the doctors said she was not among the seriously poisoned, "the father said.
More than 500 medical specialists are helping in the rescue work and Public Security authorities are still looking into the case.
