| 第2、3、4、5、6题：About 50 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sports was never heard of.But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stroke Mandeville,England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann,the situation began to change.Sir Ludwig Guttmann,who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany,had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at stoke Mandeville Hospital near London.His ideas about treating injuries included sports for the disabled. In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part.The next year,1949,five teams took part.From those beginnings things developed fast.Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year.In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome.Now,every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held,if possible,in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately.In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville.In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games,1604 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.Unfortunately,they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles,along with the other Olympics. The Games have been a great success in promoting international friendship and understanding,and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sports.One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games,however,has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include the disabled events at the Olympic Games for the ablebodied.Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded. 31. The first games for the disabled were held____after Sir Ludwing Guttmann arrived in England. A.50 years B.21 years C.9 years D.4 years 32. Beside Stoke Mandeville,surely the games for the disabled were once held in____. A.New York B.London C.Rome D.Los Angeles 33. In paragraph 2,the word “athlete” means____. A.people who support the games B.people who watch the games C.people who organize the games D.people who compete in the games 34. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an early organizer of the games for the disabled. B.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is an injured soldier. C.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is from Germany. D.Sir Ludwig Guttmann is welcomed by the British. 35. From the passage we may conclude that writer is____. A.one of the organizers of the games for the disabled B.a disabled who once took part in the games C.against holding the games for the disabled D.in favor of holding the game for the disabled |

| 第13、14、15、16、17题：Disagreements among economists are legendary, but not on the issue of free trade. A recent survey of prominent economists-both conservative and liberal-concluded that "an economist who argues for restricting international trade is almost as common today as a physician who favors leeching." Why the consensus? International free trade, economists agree, makes possible higher standards of living all over the globe. The case for free trade rests largely on this principle: as long as trade is voluntary, both partners benefit; otherwise they wouldn't trade. The buyer of a shirt, for example, values the shirt more than the money spent, while the seller values the money more. Both are better off because of the sale. Moreover, it doesn't matter whether the shirt salesman is from the United States or Hong Kong or anywhere else). The vast majority of American manufactures face international competition. This competition forces companies to improve quality and cut costs. By contrast, protectionism encourages monopoly, lower quality and higher prices. Americans pay an enormous price for protectionism -- over '60 billion a year, or ' 1000 for a family of four. Thanks to protectionism, for example, American consumers pay twice the world price for sugar. Free trade also makes the world economy more efficient, by allowing nations to capitalize on their strengths. The United States has an advantage in food production, for instance, while Saudi Arabia has an advantage in oil. The Saudis could undertake massive irrigation to become self-sufficient in food, but it is more economical for them to sell oil and purchase food from us. Similarly, we could become self-sufficient in petroleum by squeezing more out of oil sale. But it is much less costly to buy some of our oil from Saudi Arabia. Trade between our two countries improves the standard of living in both. Protectionism is both wasteful and unjust. It taxes most heavily on the people who can least afford it. Thus, tariffs that raise the price of shoes burden the poor more than the rich. Despite the powerful case for free trade, the United States and the rest of the world have always been protectionist to some degree. This is because free trade benefits the general public, while protectionism benefits special-interest groups, which are better organized, better financed and more informed. To make matters worse, much of what we hear on this issue is misinformation spread by the special interests themselves. 31. The economists _______. A. disagree whether to restrict free trade or not B. agree on free trade C. agree on the restriction if internal trade D. hold different arguments because to their different interests 32. The two parties in a free trade ________. A. do not care at all B. care for different things C. care for the things being traded D. care for the same things 33. What is the author's attitude toward protectionism denoted from the 5th paragraph? A. Sincere B. Appreciative C. Grateful D. Ironic 34. Why has protectionism always been exercised if it is wasteful and unjust? Because ________. A. it helps to establish national industry of one's own B. it can achieve an independent economy C. it is favored by general public D. it benefits some privileged few 35. According to the free trade principle, the author suggests that ______. A. U.S. explore its oil shale B. Saudi Arabia build its own industry C. Saudi Arabia import food from U.S. D. U.S. becomes more self-sufficient in food |
