After years of planning and months of expectations, the 2016 Summer Games finally began in Brazil on August 5. Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiro’s Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the world’s most famous sporting event.

The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a member of the world’s first “Olympic Refugee (难民)Team.” The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination — Greece.

Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.

While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.”

【1】What do we know about Yusra’s fleeing journey to Greece?

【解析】

试题分析：本文介绍Yusra Mardini——里约奥运会上首次设立的“难民代表团”的游泳选手。

【1】A推理判断题。根据第三段Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her sister Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece – A journey that took three hours.不幸的是，她们离开Turkey之后，船上的发动机是为了容纳六名乘客，但是现在是二十个人，失败了。Yusra, her sister Sarah和船上唯一两个强壮的游泳运动员不得不潜入水中用她们的游泳技能推着船和它的乘客一路走到Greece，花了三小时。可知路途艰难，故选A。

【2】D细节理解题。根据第二段中The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. 梦想着去奥运会游泳；However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict 在战争中失去了家园；she and her sister decided to flee the country. 她和她的妹妹决定逃离这个国家；the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.奥运会上第一个“难民队”。根据这个顺序可知D项正确。

【3】C推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.” 国际奥委会的主席托马斯巴赫在一份声明中说道：这些难民运动员们将会向世界展现，尽管他们遭遇过难以想象的悲剧，任何人都能够通过自己的天赋、技能与人类精神的力量来为社会做贡献。可知他是支持的态度。故选C。

【4】B主旨大意题。根据最后一段第一、二句While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yusra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.” 尽管她代表自己的国家参加奥运会的梦想破灭了，但她并没放弃参加奥运会的渴望。里约奥运会有一大创举为全世界所瞩目，也将载入奥运会史册，那就是历史上首次在奥运会有难民代表团。可知B项符合题意。

Last week I paid a visit to Mr. Yang, that was my former neighbor. He and I used to living next to each other for many years. About half a year ago, we were told that the old building, along with many other similar thing, was going to be pulled down to make room for a main street. So we had to move away because it. My new apartment was much bigger than before. The only problem was that it takes quite a long time to reach to the downtown area.

Therefore, Mr. Yang didn’t seemed to worry about the long distance. He said a new subway line was to be built and he was sure what he would live happily.

Even if trees cannot walk, they are still on the move.
In parts of the Arctic, entire forests are moving northward. Across the Arctic, temperatures are rising faster than anywhere else in the world. As that happens, the tree line that marks where forests stop and the treeless tundra(冻土地带) starts has been shifting northward. Trees growing along the tree line must protect themselves from the cold wind. To do this, plants tend to grow horizontal(水平的) branches low to the ground. The energy it takes for trees to grow this way means they don't have enough energy to make seeds.
But as Earth's climate has been warming, trees no longer have to just grow horizontally. Many can instead grow up toward the sky. This takes less energy. And with all the leftover energy. these trees have started producing more seeds. This happens especially in places where the white spruce(白云杉) grows.
White spruce, which is a North American tree, is quite able to produce a lot of seeds, which can move long distances in the wind. When wind-blown seeds end up on the tundra beyond the tree line, they eventually can sprout(发芽) new trees. This explains how a forest can move. Of course, the process would work only if the tundra were warm enough. But in recent years, the whole planet has been warming.
New trees will provide shelters for some snow, keeping the sun's rays from making the white surface disappear. Instead, the trees absorb the sun's heat. This warms the surrounding air. The extra warmth encourages even more trees to produce seeds. That further boosts a forest's ability to expand. In addition, more trees will trap more snow, preventing much of it from being blown away. Snow can trap heat in the soil below, which encourages trees to grow. The recent rise of temperature has helped more trees grow. The recent rise of temperatures has helped more trees grow past the tree line. People worry about impacts on the animals that depend on frozen conditions for food and shelter.
（1）What is the main cause of the trees in the Arctic moving northward?
A.The rising temperature.
B.The shrinking of northern tundra.
C.The fierce and cold wind.
D.The abundant resources in the north.
（2）What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.To produce more seeds.
B.To move northward.
C.To respond to the climate change.
D.To protect themselves from the cold wind.
（3）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.New trees can trap the snow, which may make the soil colder.
B.The trapped snow prevents new trees from producing more seeds.
C.New trees can make the surrounding air warmer.
D.New trees can bring more food and shelter for local animals.
（4）The passage is most probably taken from _______.
A.a health report
B.a science report
C.a fashion magazine
D.a children's magazine

Pedestrianism, an early form of racewalking, was a(n) 【1】 (extreme) popular sport in 18th- and 19th-century Britain, 【2】 (attract) huge crowds of spectators (观众). Individuals would either aim to walk a certain distance within a(n) 【3】 (limit) period of time or compete against other pedestrians.

Perhaps the most famous 【4】 (walk) was Captain Robert Barclay Allardice, whose extraordinary (非凡的) achievements earned 【5】 (he) the title of the “Celebrated Pedestrian”.

Since the 20th century, interest in walking as a sport has dropped. Racewalking is still an Olympic sport, but fails 【10】 (catch) the public attention as it did.

Today I met with a little dog seemed to run to me on purpose. I stopped in time to avoid hitting the dog.

Luckily, it was not injuring, but lay on the ground. I came nearer and touched at its side gently. It jumped to its foot quickly and stared at me kindly. Seeing nothing seriously, I was about to leave when the dog stops me by biting my trousers. So I wanted to take the dog away but that I did was unfair for its master. Just then, the woman came, saying that the dog was hers. But she said I can take it away as she had some many dogs at home. Thus I got a lovely pet.

In order to increase their job chances after college, Chinese students are turning to a special practice—Eiffel Tower nose jobs (鼻整形手术). The latest trend in plastic surgery promises to create a nose that is similar to the curve of the Eiffel Tower.

Surgeon Wang Xuming said: “We are influenced by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower. We are not content to just add something to the nose; we reconstruct it.” The surgery costs about US$ 10,000 and involves the enlarging of the nose using tissue from the forehead.

Hundreds of posters advertising the procedure are put up all over Chongqing city, where surgeon Xuming runs his private practice. They show a western-looking woman with an almost-to o-perfect nose, against an outline of the Eiffel Tower.

Interestingly, many young women in China are eager to achieve a western appearance, as they believe it will give them an advantage in the highly competitive job market. “Some students face a lot of employment pressure after graduation. If their facial features are good, they’ll have more chances of finding a job,” said surgeon Xuming. “We’ve had students getting the Eiffel Tower nose; it’s helped them a lot.”

Apparently, Chinese employers are quite particular about appearances and prefer attractive candidates. Some of them even go as far as putting height and weight requirements in their employment ads. Plastic surgeons across the country are reporting an increase in the number of students choosing beaut “improvement”.

According to a Mr. Li, hospital manager at surgeon Xuming’s clinic, most of their customers are female and the bill is taken care of by the family. “They usually come in with their mothers, and tend to be from well-off backgrounds.” he said.

Personally, I don’t think it so important to “improve” our appearance as long as we are skilled at our jobs. We can’t decide how we look, but we can decide how well we live and work.

【1】Why do Chinese college students choose to have a nose operation?

A. To have more chances of getting a job.

B. To gain a real westerner appearance.

C. To Take good care of their family.

D. To look like the Eiffel Tower.

【2】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A. The city of Chongqing.

B. A plastic surgery procedure.

C. The posters advertising the surgery.

D. Xuming’s private practice.

【3】What can we learn from Mr. Li’s words?

A. Most families can’t afford the expensive operation.

B. Their customers are usually from wealthy families.

C. Patients can be well looked after at the clinic.

D. The number of plastic surgeons is increasing.

【4】Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A. Chinese employers only care about their employees’ appearance.

B. Chinese students are content with the shape of their noses.

C. A western face looks prettier than a Chinese one.

D. Skills at work speak louder than appearance.
