Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. (15%) AThe Olympic flame:The Olympic flame is a symbol carried over from the ancient Olympics, where a sacred (神圣的) flame burned at the altar（神坛）of Zeus throughout competition. It was finally reintroduced at the 1924 Amsterdam Games, and again burned in 1932. Carl Diem, chairman of the organising committee for the 1936 Berlin Games, proposed that the flame be lit in Greece and transported to Berlin via a torch relay. The idea was adopted, and continued at every Olympic Games since 1952. The flame is lit at the ancient site of Olympia by the natural rays of the sun reflected off a curved mirror. It is lit at a ceremony by women dressed in robes resembling those worn in ancient times, who then pass it to the first relay runner. Olympic motto:“Citius, altius, fortius” is a Latin phrase meaning “swifter, higher, stronger”, which Baron de Coubertin borrowed from Father Henri Martin Dideon of Paris. Dideon was headmaster of Arcueil College, and used the phrase to describe the athletic achievements of students at the school. He had previously been at the Albert Le Grand school, where the Latin words were carved in stone above the main entrance.Olympic oath(宣誓)“In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport and the honour of our teams.” Written by Baron de Coubertin, the oath is taken by an athlete from the host nation while holding a corner of the Olympic flag. The athletes oath was first taken by Belgian fencer Victor Boin at the 1920 Antwerp Games. A judge from the host country also speaks the oath, with slightly different wording. 66. The Olympic flame was first burned at _ in modern times. A. the 1920 Games B. the 1924 Games C. the 1932 Games D. the 1936 Games67. From the passage we can learn _. A. before 1936, no flames burned at the Olympic Games B. the first torch relay was held at the 1936 Berlin Games C. Carl Diem proposed that flames should burn at the Olympic Games D. The Olympic torch has burned since 192468. Which of the following is TRUE? A. There was no athletes oath in the 1896 Olympic Games. B. The 1920 Olympic games was held in Amsterdam. C. The judge from the host country takes the same oath as the athletes does. D. Dideon wrote Citius, Altius, Fortius for the Olympic Games.BAdvertising gives useful information about which products to buy. But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Todays advertisements, or ads, try to get consumers to buy certain brands. Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can. sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal (麦片) , or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.For example, you probab1y do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on a shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra-tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it.Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.69. What is discussed in this passage?A. The content of modern advertising. B. The skills of modern advertising. C. The results of modern advertising.D. The writing of modern advertising. 70. According to the passage, a good advertisement should_.A. be both persuasive and effective B. give people useful information C. show people a product D. show people a new idea of a product 71. From the passage, we know that_. A. modern advertising has less effect on customers B. once customers see ads about a new cerea1, they are sure to buy itC. cereal can make people strongD. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people 72. What can we infer from the passage?A. Its impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.C. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.D. Customers buy products according to their demands rather than the advertisements. C Are you worried by the rising crime rate?
