They mingled in the center of the stadium, laughing, shouting, jumping, hugging.turning the evening gathering into _7_.A touching moment came _8_ 12 representatives of volunteers, led by 12 children, walked to the center of the stadium and _9_ flowers by the new IOC members of the Athletes Commission.“I _10_ so much helping journalists and watching them work over the past days. I feel _11_ that this is all over and I probably will _12_ see them again，” said Tan, a volunteer from the press operations at the Birds Nest.During the Games, about 100,000 Olympic volunteers were working day and night, _13_ athletes, officials, reporters, spectators and tourists in Beijing _14_ the six cohost cities.After the Olympic flag was lowered and handed over to _15_， the 2008 Olympic host staged a short _16_ to showcase the British enthusiasm.

Now, if theres one thing I can tell you about any sport, it is that wrestling is probably the sport that has the least _1_. There are only two people out on the mat, so you cannot _2_ it on your teammates or your coach. And guess what? There is no _3_ because we do the whole thing indoors, so you cant say, “It was raining.” or “It was snowing.” It makes _4_ to say wrestling is the sport with the least luck.On our team were two world champions; one of them had been a world champion five times. We _5_ had five people who were national champions. One of them was a guy _6_ the name of John.John had never been _7_ in my high school wrestling competition that I could remember, _8_ he was a national champion. There was nobody locally who could touch him.One day, we _9_ a match with our biggest opponent (对手). John went out on the mat, and about a minute and 30 seconds into the match he tried to make a particular _10_. He rolled over, and his opponent _11_ him halfway through his roll. He was pinned _12_！The match was over.I remember on the bus on the way home, one of our teammates tried to _13_ John by saying, “Oh, he just got lucky.” And John said, “Thats so stupid. The opportunity presented itself, _14_ he exploited it.”We used to have this big sign in our wrestling room that the coach had _15_ there: “Luck is what happens when opportunity _16_ preparation.”Johns opponent was prepared to exploit this opportunity. The probability of _17_ John was not strong, and he knew it. But he paid attention to the _18_ opportunity to present itself, and he defeated and pinned a fivetime national champion.In other words, the real _19_ is “Be prepared！” Its not just finding the opportunity; you have to be prepared to _20_ it.1A. luck B. riskC. difficulty D. opportunity2A. accuse B. blameC. doubt D. keep3A. stress B. injuryC. weather D. standard4A. judgment B. progressC. sense D. way5A. also B. evenC. only D. once6A. under B. forC. in D. by7A. hurt B. chosenC. trained D. defeated8A. although B. becauseC. unless D. until9A. went for B. waited forC. fought for D. played for10A. sign B. stepC. task D. move11A. fixed B. threwC. caught D. carried12A. accidentally B. fortunatelyC. unfairly D. instantly13A. calm B. comfortC. convince D. forgive14A. so B. orC. and D. but15A. set B. putC. left D. used16A. meets B. suitsC. gets D. fits17A. striking B. beatingC. knocking D. controlling18A. equal B. exactC. rest D. right19A. message B. passageC. decision D. suggestion20A. receive B. followC. seize D. save答案1A。作者认为和其他运动相比，摔跤毫无“运气”可言。本段最后也有线索提示。2B。垫子上只有两名选手(在进行实力的较量)，因而不能把比赛失利“归咎”于队友或教练。A项表示“控告；指控”，不符合常识。3C。根据后半句可知摔跤运动在室内举行，不受“天气”影响。4C。根据作者的上述解释可知说摔跤运动最不能靠运气的很有“道理”，make sense为固定搭配，“有意义，有道理”。5A。作者所在的队中既有世界知名冠军，“也”有国家冠军。6D。他们中有一个名叫约翰的小伙子。by the name of表示“名叫的”。7D。根据本段最后一句可知在作者的记忆中他在高中任何摔跤比赛中都没有被“击败”过。8B。他之所以有如此辉煌的成就是“因为”他是国家冠军。9A。此处go for表示“参加”。fight for表示“为争取而斗争”，与后面的宾语搭配不合题意。10D。在比赛中的最后关头，他试图做一个特别的“动作”以出奇制胜。11C。对手在他刚翻过一半身时“击中”了他。A项表示“固定；安装；修理”；B项表示“扔”；D项表示“携带”，都与比赛常识不符。12D。由于他被对手击中，他“瞬间”动弹不得。13B。他以前是常胜将军，未曾遇到过对手，如今却输给了对方，所以队友会来“安慰”他。14C。对手看到机会自动上门，自然会加以利用。此处表示顺承关系。15B。教练在摔跤房外“竖起”一块大牌子。16A。当机会“遇到”事先的准备后，就会有运气发生。17B。对手“打败”约翰的可能性不大，而且对手也十分清楚这一点。18D。但是他在关注时机，等待“适当的”时机自己出现。19A。换句话说，真正的“信息”是要作好准备。20C。不仅仅是发现机会，还必须准备好“抓住”机会。CFire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful (有害的). Fire can keep your house _1_, give light and cook food. But fire can burn things _2_. Big fire can burn, trees, houses, animals or people.Nobody knows how people began to use fire. But there are _3_. interesting old stories about how a man
