1. ________________________
     A world record is every athlete's dream, but the hard-won records of a few years ago are
mostly just today's qualifying times. Roger Bannister's famous four-minute mile of 1956 has been
beaten by nearly 15 seconds, while almost an hour and twenty minutes has been taken off the
women's marathon since. 1953. 'Faster, higher, stronger', is the Olympic motto, and today's
competitors continue to push back the boundaries of what the body can achieve. But one wonders
if this can continue.
2. ________________________
     The last forty years have seen many important technological advances. For example, since the
introduction of strong flexible, fiberglass poles, over a meter has been added to the pole vault record.
There have also been important developments in the design of the running shoe. And while a shoe
won't actually make someone run faster, modern shoes do mean many more miles of comfortable,
injury-free training.
3. ________________________
     Pushing back the limits now depends more on science, technology and medicine than anything
else. Athletic technique, training programmes and diets are all being studied to find ways of taking
a few more seconds off or adding a few more centimetres to that elusive world record. It seems
that natural ability and hard work are no longer enough.
4. ________________________
     The research to find more efficient ways of moving goes on. Analysis of an athlete's style is
particularly useful for events like jumping and throwing. Studies show that long jumpers need to
concentrate not on the speed of approach, as once thought, but on the angle their bodies make
with the ground as they take off. However, the rules governing each sport limit advances achieved
by new styles. For instance only one-footed takeoffs are allowed in the high jump.
5. ________________________
     In the future, it should be possible to develop a more individual approach to training programmes.
Athletes will keep detailed diaries and collect data to help predict the point when training becomes
overtraining, the cause of many injuries. If athletes feed all their information into a database, it may
then be possible to predict patterns and to advise them individually when they should cut.

C
On May 8, last Thursday morning, the Olympic flame was lit on the top of Mount Qomolangma! It was a historic moment for China exactly three months ahead of the Beijing Games.
Tibetan female climber Cering Wangmo reached the summit with a special extreme-altitude Olympic torch. This event is what China has promised to the world as the high point of the torch relay, the longest and mostchallengingof all time.
Five torchbearers(火炬手) finished the highest relay ever—three of the climbers are Tibetan athletes.
Team members said “Beijing welcomes you!” in Chinese, English and Tibetan, as they stood at the summit celebrating, with the event broadcast on national television.
“I finally fulfilled the last dream of my husband,” said Gyigyi with tears in her eyes. She was the first torchbearer. Her husband lost his life in an attempt to climb all 14 mountains in China more than 8,000 meters three years ago.
“We are on top of the world! One world, one dream,” shouted Nima Cering, at the top of his voice. He said that although he had climbed the peak（峰顶）several times, this was the most significant ascent(登高). “As a Tibetan and a Chinese I pray for the success of Beijing 2008,” he added.
The special torch is different from the one currently touring the Chinese mainland, after an around-the-world relay. Officials organizing the trek up the peak had earlier set an April 26 target to begin the ascent, but high winds and heavy snow had delayed the mission.
The Xinhua News Agency said that the Qomolangma leg of the torch relay represents the Olympic motto, “higher, faster and stronger,” in practice and will promote unity among all 56 ethnic groups in China.
【小题1】It was a historic moment because ______.
