　　It’s only 34 centimetres tall but, as the highest honour in the world of cinema, an Oscar is worth its weight in gold．

　　Just saying its name draws up images of red carpets, bubbling champagne(冒泡的香槟), beautiful stars and, most importantly of all, success．

　　When the 76th Academy Awards were presented this morning in Los Angeles, US, the winners became headline news across the world just as the first Academy Awards．Organized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at a Hollywood hotel on May 16, 1929．All the guests knew who had won in advance; the present system of keeping it a secret until the envelope is opened was introduced in 1941．

　　The trophy(奖品)is the figure of a knight(骑士)holding a sword．The first awards were solid bronze but a metal shortage during World War Ⅱ meant the trophies were made of plaster(石膏)for a while．Nowadays, the figures are made of metal and given an outer coating of gold．

　　Officially known as the Academy Award of Merit, it isn’t clear where the nickname(昵称)Oscar came from．One popular explanation is that an Academy librarian said it looked like her uncle Oscar and the name just stuck．

　　The timing of the ceremony has only been disturbed on three occasions．The first was in 1938 when serious floods in Los Angeles delayed the awards by one week．Then in 1968 the ceremony was moved from April 8 to April 10 out of respect for Dr．Martin Luther King, who had been assassinated(暗杀)a few days earlier．Another assassination－a failed attempt on President Ronald Reagan－saw the Oscars delayed by 24 hours in 1981．

　　The murder took place around ten o' clock p.m. on June 10th．Thirty-two people watched Kitty being killed right beneath their windows．She was their neighbor．Yet, none of the 32 helped her．Not even one called the police．Was this inhumane cruelty? Was it lack of feeling for one's fellow man?

　　“Not so,”say scientists Dr．Darley and Dr．Fatane．They've found the reasons why people don't act．According to them, a person has to go through two steps before he can help．First he has to notice there is an emergency．

　　Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall onto the ground．Is he having a heart attack, or some other physical trouble? Or is he simply about to sleep off a drunk? So it's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency．

　　Second and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel himself responsible．He must feel that he must help．

　　The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around．They asked college students to come in to be“tested”．Some came alone, some with one or two others, and some in large groups．When they came in either alone, in pairs, or in groups, a lady went into the next room．Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of something falling and a cry for help．All of these had been pre-recorder(预先录制)．

　　Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help．Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped．Of the students in groups, none helped．

　　In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act．They feel that others will act．They, themselves, needn't．They do not feel any direct responsibility．

(1)

Why didn't the thirty-two people act to help Kitty according to the passage?

[　　]

A．

Because they were afraid to be killed．

B．

Because they were cruel in their hearts．

C．

Because they thought others would help．

D．

Because they didn't notice the emergency．

(2)

According to the passage, which of the following is an emergency?

[　　]

A．

Someone is falling onto the ground．

B．

Someone is needing help．

C．

Someone is sleeping off a drunk．

D．

Someone is having a heart attack．

(3)

The result of the tests shows that ________．

[　　]

A．

none of the tested students acted to help

B．

the more people there are together, the more people will act to help

C．

the more people there are together, the fewer people will act to help

D．

college students would be more likely to help than ordinary Americans

(4)

A．

notice an emergency

B．

feel direct responsibility

C．

depend on each other

D．

go through two steps before they act

Some people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that ff countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athlets, but the Games were also ruined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.

　　One country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals should not have been dismissed and that the opposite side's victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: "This wasn't hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished. "The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at least three years.

　　The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. The judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then decided not to receive the silver medals.

　　Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played for honors or money rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that sportsmen should compete as individuals , or in non national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages dangerous nationalism.

　　According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ________.

　　A. brought about goodwill between the nations

　　B. made only false national pride

　　C. hardly showed any international friendship

　　D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred

　　What did the manager mean by saying, "... Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished"? ________.

　　A. His team would no longer take part in international games

　　B. Hockey and the society are both ruined by the unfair decisions

第二部分　阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
Since it was published in 1818, Frankenstein, a classic horror story, has been in print in many languages.  The monster from the novel by Mary Shelley is the result of man's uncontrolled desire to create and apply his knowledge.
The novel features Victor Frankenstein, a student who explores the secrets of life in his laboratory. Fearing that he has created a monster, Victor Frankenstein wants to stop but too late. The monster kills Victor Frankenstein's young brother and causes the murder to be blamed on an innocent girl. Victor and the monster meet in the frozen mountains. The monster asks Victor to create a female monster, promising to afterwards leave with her for the wilds. Victor begins the work and discovers the monster has followed him to watch the work. Victor regrets his decision to create a second monster and worries that together they will begin a species of monster. Victor destroys the monster's bride. The monster soon takes revenge (复仇) on Victor by killing his best friend, his father and finally, his bride, Elizabeth. Victor pursues (追赶) the monster across many places. On the point of death, Victor meets a ship and tells his story to the captain whose letters and diaries are then to form this novel. Victor Frankenstein's last words are, "Farewell, Walton!

Some people believe that international sports create goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national competitions.

　One country received its second-place medals with visible indignation（愤慨）after a hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the loser’s objection to the final decision. They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was very angry and he said, “This wasn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension（停赛）of the team for at least three years.

　The American basketball team announced that they would not give up the first place to Russia, after a disputable end to their competition. The game had ended in disturbance. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player popped the ball into the basket. It was the first time the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.

　Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sports are played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism（爱国主义）.
