But even Olympic athletes have had their share of difficult, heart-breaking or embarrassing moments.1904 Olympics, St Louis, USAAmerican Fred Lorz crossed the finish line of the Olympic marathon with a time of 3 hours and 13 minutes. He had beaten the second runner by 15 minutes. Lorz looked happy and fresh, and smiled for the photographers. Just before they gave him the gold medal, the race officials arrived and took away the medal, and Lorz was banned from races for a year. Then an official told the truth. He had travelled by car for 11 miles of the marathon!1908 Olympics, London, EnglandThe Italian Dorando Pietri was one of the unluckiest marathon runners. When he arrived in the stadium, he was very tired. The people were cheering, but Pietri couldn’t continue. He fell down and got up again four times. Finally, around seven metres from the finish line, he fell down again and didn’t move. Worried officials ran over and picked him up. He crossed the finish line and won the gold medal. But a few hours later the Olympic officials had to take it away from him again. They said he couldn’t be the winner because Olympic officials had helped him cross the line.2000 Olympics, Sydney, AustraliaEric Moussambani of Equatorial Guinea became one of the most loved athletes of the 2000 games. His race was the 100-metre freestyle swim. He jumped into the pool and started swimming. After the first 50 metres he was very tired. He went more and more slowly and almost stopped in the middle of the pool. The officials worried that he was drowning. But Moussambani continued and finished the race with a time of 1 minute and 52 seconds, the slowest in the history of the Olympics. Still, Moussambani was happy. He had never swum in a pool of that size before.1. Lorz’s gold medal was taken away at the 1904 Olympics because ______.A. he broke the rules B. officials made a mistakeC. officials picked him up halfway D. he beat the second runner badly2. What happened to Pietri at the 1908 Olympics?A. He broke a world record.B. B. He finally won the gold medal.C. He fell down after finishing the race.D. He received help as he crossed the finish line.3. How did people look at Moussambani?A. They felt sorry for him. B. They admired him greatly.C. They showed no interest in him. D. They had mixed feelings about him.BBeing highly successful in any field is pretty rare. It takes a combination of natural talent, luck, determination, and plenty of outside support for someone to make it big in sports, entertainment, or business. But what if competing is all that matters to you, whether you are likely to succeed or not? This was the goal of Michael Edwards, better known as Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards, and his reaching that goal was an amazing achievement.Born in the U.K. in 1963, Edwards was a passionate downhill skier whose dream was to compete for Britain in world-class competitions. He would have liked to represent his country in the 1984 Winter Olympics, but there were a large number of downhill competitors, and Edwards didn’t qualify. Seeing his chance elsewhere, he switched to ski jumping. Ski jumping didn’t cost as much as downhill skiing, and there was almost no competition for a place on the British team.But a number of hurdles could have meant the end of Edwards’ dream. He weighed more than most competitors. He had no financial support for his training. Poor eyesight meant that he had to wear glasses under his goggles (护目镜) — not a good thing when they steamed up at high altitudes. But he couldn’t let any of these discourage him. He saw himself as a true lover of the sport who simply wanted the chance to compete. Winning wasn’t the point. Having the opportunity to try was all he cared about. And nothing could stop him from trying.In the end, Edwards took 55th place at the 1987 World Championships. He then went on to the Calgary Olympics in 1988, where he finished last in both of his events. Many athletes would have been embarrassed by this result, but he is proud of his achievements to this day. His determination to fight against all the odds made him a global hero, and in 2016, the inspiring film Eddie the Eagle was made about his life.4. Why did Michael Edwards choose ski jumping?A. The equipment was cheaper. B. There was little competition.C. It took fewer skills. D. It was easy to win the championship.5. What does the underlined word “hurdles” mean in paragraph 3?A. Doubts. B. Changes.C. Options. D. Obstacles.6. What made Michael Edwards outstanding?A. His determination to win.B. His attitude towards the Olympics.C. His passion for the sport.D. His ability to overcome physical disabilities.7. What is the best title of the text?A. Michael Edwards: A Household AthleteB. Competition Is All That Matters to Michael EdwardsC. Michael Edwards: Took Every Chance to LearnD. Nothing Can Stop Michael Edwards Seeking SuccessCWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as main entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception (感知) that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.8. According to Paragraph 1, students ______.A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on educationC. view music as an overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science9. In Paragraph 2, the author used jazz as an example to ______.A. compare it with rock musicB. show music reflects a societyC. introduce American musical traditionD. prove music influences people’s lifestyles10. According to the passage, the arts and science ______.A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express people’s feeling in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently11. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education is more necessary.B. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginative.DLearning is so complex that there are many different psychological theories to explain how people learn. A psychologist named Albert Bandura suggested a social learning theory which shows that observation imitation, and modeling play a primary role in this process.In Albert Bandura’s opinion, people can learn through observation. Observational learning doesn’t even necessarily require watching another person join in an activity. We can also learn by reading, hearing, or watching the actions of characters in books and films. However, just observing someone else’s actions isn’t always enough for learning. Your own mental state also plays an important role in determining whether a behavior is learned or not. In addition, though in many cases, learning can be seen immediately when the new behavior is displayed, yet sometimes we can learn things even though that learning might not be immediately obvious, which means people can learn new information without showing new behaviors.Not at observed behaviors are effectively learned. Certain requirements need to be related to the observational learning process. For example, you need to be paying attention. Also your memory is an important part of observational learning as you need to pull up information later and act on it during the process. Once you’ve paid attention to the model and kept the information, it’s time to actually perform the behavior you observed. Further practice of the learned behavior leads to improvement. Finally, you have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has been modeled.Social learning theory have many real-world applications. For example, researchers employ it to look into and understand ways that positive role models can be used to encourage desirable behaviors. Besides, it’s also applied in the field of education, and today, both teachers and parents recognize how important it is to model appropriate behaviors.12. What can we infer about observational learning from paragraph 2?A. Its effects on a person tend to be very obvious.B. Its effectiveness is determined by the mental stale.C. It doesn’t necessarily lead to a change in behavior.D. Its most useful means might be watching and learning.13. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Model. B. Information.C. Memory. D. Observational learning.14. What might NOT be required when performing observational learning?A. Trying to be focused. B. Trying to be imaginative.C. Looking for a motivator. D. Editing and storing information.15. What can we learn about the social learning theory according to the text?A It is of practical use. B. It remains to be improved.C. It was effective at first. D. It is easily and widely applied. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题, 每小题3分，满分15分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The iPod GenerationToday it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go.
