The word doping is probably from the Dutch word dop, the name of an alcoholic drinks make of grape skins used by Zulu soldiers in order to encourage their bravery in battle. The term became current around the turn of the 20th century, originally referring to illegal drugging of racehorses. In 1928 the International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) became the first to ban the use of doping. A reliable test method was finally introduced in 1974.
The practice of enhancing athletes’ performance through foreign substance or other artificial means, however, is as old as competitive sport itself. The most famous doping case of the 1980s concerned Ben Johnson, the 100-meter champion who tested positive for stanozolol(司坦咗醇) at the Olympic Games in Seoul, 1988.
The main front in the anti-doping war has rapidly shifted to blood doping since 1970s. Blood doping is the practice of adding red blood cells to the bloodstream in order to improve athletes’ performance. The blood is usually processed in order to create a concentration of red blood cells, and then freeze them until needed for transfusion(輸血) back into the athlete shortly before the event. The extra red blood cells will deliver more oxygen and other essential elements to the athlete’s muscle tissues.
Just like any other problem, the only way to solve it is through education. Many high school sports programs now have people come in to talk to them about out the dangers of performance-enhancing drugs. Young players must be fully clear on the rules and what substances are banned. The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) has an easily accessible list of what substances are banned, how they are tested for and why they are banned on its website. This way, young players are clear on what they can put in their bodies. This is also a good way to educate players on the danger of the substances they may be tempted to use.
小題1:The word “enhancing” in the first sentence of the second paragraph means “_____”.
A.showingB.directingC.upsettingD.improving
小題2:What can we know from the third paragraph?
A.Blood doping is transferring one man’s blood into another
B.Only blood doping exists in the anti-doping war in the 1970s.
C.Blood doping is easy to be found and controlled by organizations.
D.More oxygen in the blood helps improve an athlete’s performance.
小題3:The word “people” in the second sentence of the fourth paragraph probably refers to _____.
A.teachers who teach P.E. lessons at school
B.experts who do research in doping
C.young people easy to be addicted to doping
D.a(chǎn)thletes involved in doping
小題4:Which statement best matches the last paragraph?
A.Prevention is better than cure.
B.Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.
C.The best horse needs breaking, and the cleverest child needs teaching.
D.A little learning is a dangerous thing.

I used to believe in the American dream that meant a job,credit and success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us separately chasing the same thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell apart. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $ 56. I searched the countryside for some place I could rent for the cheapest possible amount. I came upon a deserted cottage in a small remote valley.I hadn't been alone for 25 years. I was scared, but I hoped the hard work would distract and heal me.
I found the owner and rented the place for$ 50 a month.The locals knew nothing about me.  But slowly they started teaching me the art of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets,  tools and canned deer meat and began sticking around to chat. They would ask if I wanted to meet cousin Albie or go fishing. They started to teach me a belief in a different American dream, not the one of individual achievement but of neighborliness. Men would stop by with wild berries, ice cream or truck parts to see if I was up for courting. I wasn't, but they were civil anyway.The woman on that mountain worked harder than any I'd ever met. They taught me how to store food in the stream and keep it cold and safe._I_learned_to_keep_enough_for_an_extra_plate_for_company.
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were necessary for a civilized life, were non­existent in this place.Up on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my relationships with my neighbors.
After four years in that valley, I moved back into town. I saw a lot of people were having a really hard time, losing their jobs and homes. With the help of a real estate broker (房地產(chǎn)經(jīng)紀(jì)人) I chatted up at the grocery store, I managed to rent a big enough house to take in a handful of people. It's four of us now,but over time I've had nine come in and move on to other places from here. We'd all be in shelters if we hadn't banded together.
The American dream I believe in now is a shared one. It's not so much about what I can get for myself; it's about how we can all get by together.
小題1:Before a series of unhappy events happened, the writer________.
A.had a well­paid jobB.worked hard for his American dream
C.worked hard and liked to shareD.felt hopeless about his American dream
小題2:What does the underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refer to?

Every year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii, Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ― its stadium (露天大型運動場) and theatres, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years. Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, a grass-covered volcano . Mount Vesuvius had not erupted for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.
In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.
For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains(噴泉), houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in every bakery. In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ― a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye makeup.
Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.
小題1:Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?
A.To visit the volcanoB.To shop and eat there
C.To watch sports and playsD.To watch how Pompeiians lived
小題2:Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?
A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.
B.The area produced the finest wine in Italy.
C.Few people expected the volcano to erupt again.
D.The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass.
小題3:Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?
A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.
B.Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.
C.Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.
D.Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.
小題4:What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?
A.They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.
B.They liked women wearing all kinds of makeup.
C.They enjoyed a good life with drinking and eating.
D.They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.

The industrial age has been the only period of human history in which most people’s work has taken the form of jobs. The industrial age may now be coming to an end, and some of changes in work patterns which it brought may have to be reversed. This seems a discouraging thought. But, in fact, it could offer the prospect of a better future for work. Universal employment, as its history show, hasn’t meant economic freedom.
Employment became widespread when the enclosures(圈地運動)of the 17th and 18th centuries made many people dependent on paid work by taking them away from the use of the land, and thus from the means to provide a living for themselves. Then the factory system destroyed the cottage industries and removed work from people’s homes. Later, as transport improved, first by rail and then by road, people traveled longer distances to their place of employment until, eventually, many people’s work lost all connection with their home lives and the places in which they lived.
Meanwhile, employment put women at a disadvantage. In pre-industrial times, men and women had shared the productive work of the household and village community. Now it became customary for the husband to go out to paid employment, leaving the unpaid work of the home and family to his wife. Tax and benefit regulations still assume this norm(準(zhǔn)則)today, and restrict more flexible sharing of work roles between sexes.
It was not only women whose work status suffered. As employment became the dominant form of work, young people and old people were kept out — a problem now, as more teenagers disappointed and annoyed at school and more retired people want to live active lives.
All this may now have to change. The time has certainly come to switch some efforts and resources away from the utopian(烏托邦)goal of creating jobs for all, to the urgent practical task of helping many people to manage without full-time jobs.
小題1: From the passage we can learn that ____.
A.jobs have existed since human came into being
B.the industrial age brought jobs to everyone
C.the industrial age brought the work patterns most people’s work has taken
D.in the future more and more people could get jobs as the industry is developing
小題2:Before the enclosures of the 17th and 18th, people lived mainly on ____.
A.paid workB.unpaid workC.taxes and benefitsD.land
小題3:Before the industrial age women played ____.
A.more important roles in making a lifeB.less important roles in making a life
C.roles as weak as after in raising their children D.roles as important as men in supporting a family
小題4: From the passage we can infer that ____.
A.creating jobs for all must be changed
B.enough jobs must be created by our society
C.more and more jobs are being created
D.industrial age has made many people unable to live without full-time jobs

It’s amazing what a little free beer can accomplish. In 1997 the small Danish island of Samso, located in the Kattegat Strail, won a contest hosted by the Danish Ministry of Environment and Energy. Samso, then known for its dairy and pig farms, would become Denmark’s showcase for sustainable power, eventually going carbon-free. How that would happen, however, was far from clear, since the government initially offered no funding, tax breaks or technical expertise(專門知識).
Given that almost all its power came from oil or coal — and the island’s 4,300 residents didn’t know a wind turbine(風(fēng)力發(fā)電機(jī)) from a grain silo(谷倉) — Samso seemed an strange choice. Soren Hermansen, though, saw an opportunity. A restless native son who grew up on a family farm, Hermansen was teaching environmental studies at a local school when he heard about Samso’s award. He volunteered to be the first — and only — participant. “I realized this could happen,” he says. “This was realistic.” He may have been the only one who thought so.
Hermansen knew Samso islanders were conservative, but that could be an advantage: once he convinced enough potential first movers to act, the rest would follow. So Hermansen showed up at every community or club meeting to campaign for the renewable-energy project. He pointed to the island’s unexplored potential for wind power and the economic benefits of making Samso energy-independent. He sometimes brought free beer.
It worked. The islanders bought shares in new wind turbines to build 11 large land-based turbines, enough to meet the entire island’s electricity needs. Not satisfied with that, they supported the construction of 10 huge offshore turbines,which provide power that the island’s dependence on cars and ferries needs. Today Samso isn’t just carbon-free — it actually produces 10% more clean electricity than it uses, with the extra power fed back into the national electricity network at a profit.
Hermansen has become a green angel, traveling from country to country telling the story of Samso’s success when he’s not at home running the Energy Academy, a research center for clean power. But he’s the first to say that the real credit belongs to the islanders,and that Samso’s lesson is that environmental change can only come from the ground up.
小題1:What was Hermansen’t response to the Samso’s winning the contest?
A.He regarded it as a chance.
B.He was not satisfied with the award.
C.He thought it was strange.
D.He thought it was reasonable.
小題2:From the second paragraph we can learn that __________.
A.many Samso islanders participated in the green project actively
B.most Samso islanders were against the renewable energy project
C.Samso has a long history of making use of renewable energy
D.a(chǎn)t first people showed little interest in the renewable energy project
小題3:Why did Hermansen show up at every community or club meeting?
A.It was his duty to keep the islanders informed of government policies.
B.He wanted to convince the islanders to use clean power instead of oil or coal.
C.He wanted to persuade the islanders to be involved in the wind power project.
D.He wanted to share his beer with other islanders.
小題4:What can we learn about Hermansen’s personality from the last paragraph?
A.He is practical.B.He is courageous.
C.He is modest. D.He is ambitious.

     For well over a thousand years,smallpox was a disease that everyone feared.The disease killed much of the native population in South America when the Spanish arrived there in the early sixteenth century.By the end of the eighteenth century,smallpox was responsible for about one in
ten deaths around the world.Those who survived the disease were left with ugly scars on their sjun.
It had long been well known among farmers that people who worked with cows seldom caught smallpox;instead,they often caught a similar but much milder disease called cowpox (牛痘) .A Bridsh doctor called Jenner was extremely interested in this,and so he studied cowpox He believed that,by vaccinating (給接種疫苗) people with the disease,he could protect them against the much worse disease smallpox.In 1796,he vaccinated a boy with cowpox and,two months later,with smallpox.The boy did not get smallpox.In the next two years,Jenner vaccinated several children in the same way,and none of them got the disease.

An ancient philosopher’s wisdom can be compared in value to gold. Now “The Art of War” by the great thinker Sun Tzu has actually been printed on pure gold. There are 5,000 of these bookstores across China, costing 19,600 yuan each.
Known as the world’s oldest book on military strategy(軍事策略), it was originally written on bamboo strips(竹簡). Sun Tzu lived in about 500 BC in the late Spring and Autumn Period. There is little information about Sun Tzu’s real life.
But according to one story, the king asked Sun Tzu to gibe a demonstration of his way of training the army. Two groups of the king’s concubines(妃子) played the soldiers and two of the king’s favourites acted as commanders. Sun Tzu gave them orders, but they thought it was just a game and couldn’t stop laughing. Sun Tzu said, “if the order is not clear it’s my fault, but if the order is and soldiers don’t obey, it’s the commanders’ fault.” He then killed the two commanders, despite the king’s protest. When Sun Tzu gave new orders, the concubines performed perfectly.
Sun Tzu’s book became popular with leaders in Asia and later in the West. In 1782 a Frenchman named Amiot took the book to Europe. It is said that Napoleon used its principles while conquering Europe.
“The Art of War” is today used in business, sport, diplomacy(外交) and even relationships. Sun Tzu is possibly the most quoted(引用) Chinese in the world. One saying is, “If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.”
