【題目】One afternoon last week, I saw three tearful children from my son’s school being comforted by teachers. That morning, my 11-year-old had stomach pains, retching(干嘔)into a bowl. Talking to other mothers later, I heard about other children with stomachache or difficulty sleeping the night before.

What caused so much pain? Sports day. Sports day might be necessary at a highly-competitive independent school, but not at a village primary school. For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day causes no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is a nightmare(噩夢). Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disaster.

Why do we put our children through this annual suffering? Some may say competition is character building; or it’s taking part, not winning, that’s important; or that it is a tradition of school life. I just felt great pity for those children in tears or in pain.

Team games at the end of sports day produced some close races, wild enthusiasm, lots of shouting—and were fun to watch. More importantly, the children who were not so fast or quick at passing the ball were hidden a little from everyone’s eyes. Some of them also had the thrill of being on the winning side.

I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less-competitive event. Perhaps an afternoon of team games, with a few races for those who want them, would be less stressful for the children and a lot more fun to watch.

【1】What can we learn about the author’s son from Paragraph 1?

A. He talked with some mothers.

B. He comforted his classmates.

C. He had difficulty in sleeping.

D. He suffered from stomachache.

【2】Sports day is still an annual event in this school probably because .

A. this is an independent school

B. it is a tradition of the school

C. it helps children lose weight

D. children enjoy watching sports

【3】What does the author think about team games?

A. They should include more stressful races.

B. They are acceptable to different children.

C. They should be abandoned at primary schools.

D. They are less fun for those who love running.

【4】What is the author’s attitude towards sports day?

A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Ambiguous.

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】B

【4】A

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：作者主要介紹孩子學(xué)校體育節(jié)中的競爭性運動會給孩子帶來的傷害，并希望用其他的運動來代替競爭性的運動。

【1】D考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段的my 11-year-old had stomach pains我11歲的孩子得了胃痛，可知選D。

【2】B考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段的……that it is a tradition of school life可知這是學(xué)校生活的一種傳統(tǒng)，故選B。

【3】B考查判斷推理。根據(jù)文章的第二段：For the children who can fly like the wind, sports day cause no problem. For those who are overweight or just not good at sport, it is nightmare（噩夢）. Even for those who enjoy running but fall halfway down the track in front of the entire school and their parents, it can prove a disease.可知競爭性的體育運動可能給不同的孩子帶來不一樣的結(jié)果，故選B。

【4】A考查判斷推理。根據(jù)文章最后一段I wish that sports day could be abandoned and replaced with some other less competitive event體育節(jié)應(yīng)被取消或者用競爭性小一些的運動代替，可知選A。

In recent years, research on the human brain has been attracting more and more scientists. 【1】 If we compare a human brain to a hard disc(硬盤), what the scientists are doing is to make better use of the hard disc.

Experiments have started on animals. In 1999, a transplant(移植) experiment was done at the Defense and Military Physiology Research Institute in the U.S. and turned a bear into a dolphin(海豚). 【2】 They were made of the memory area in the dolphin’s brain containing information about swimming. They obtained a series of useful information, which was saved into a button-sized chip(芯片). Later the information was transplanted into the action memory area in the bear’s brain. 【3】 It proved to be a highly successful experiment and a bear was turned into a dolphin.

Not long ago, another memory transplant was performed at the Motor Nerve Research Institute of the University of California. The experiment had an entire transplant of the memory area. 【4】 The transplant was performed from a dog named “Genius” to a dog named “Idiot”. “Genius” could understand and follow up to 100 gestures and orders made by its master. It was a real genius in memorizing. However, “Idiot” had no contact with people at all since its birth. It became an animal with nothing in its brain, without any memory.

【5】 When the two dogs woke up, “Idiot” had grasped all the abilities “Genius” had; it was good at memorizing and sensible. It could follow every gestre and any command given by its master. But “Genius” gave no response to its master, and in fact did not recognize him at all.

A. The experiment was a complete success.

B. Then it was released(釋放) by means of electric power.

C. One of the latest research topics is how to change the human brain or combine it with the computer.

D. Different images have different meanings in the memory area.

E. It included actions, moods, logic, words, images, etc.

F. Discoveries show that messages are carried by the central nervous system in the brain.

G. Using the most advanced technology, detailed images were produced.

The Amber Room 【1】 (put) up in 1709. It used to belong 【2】 Frederick William I, the first King of Prussia. Peter the Great fell in love with the room on a visit, and in 1716 the King of Prussia sent it to Peter the Great as a gift.

The Amber Room was shipped to Russia in 18 large boxes and put in the Winter Palace in St Petersburg as a part of a European art collection. It was first open in 1746 in the Winter Palace, 【3】 it was housed till 1755. In 1755, Czarina Elizabeth ordered the room 【4】 (move) to the Catherine Palace in Pushkin. An Italian 【5】 (art) Bartolomeo Francesco Rastrelli redesigned the room to fit into its new larger space, 【6】 (use) extra amber from Berlin.

【7】 seems hard to believe that boxes of several tons of amber could go missing, and many historians have tried to solve the mystery. Most of them believe 【8】 the boxes were destroyed in the Second World War. One of the more extreme theories is that Stalin 【9】 (actual) had a second Amber Room and the Germans stole a fake (贗品).

The history of the new Amber Room, at least, is known for sure. The reconstruction (重建), 【10】 was based largely on black and white photographs of the original Amber Room, began in 1979 at Tsarskoye Selo and was completed 25 years later.
