NBC estimates (估计) that 4 billion viewers tuned in (收看) from around the world to watch the opening ceremonies in London England.Oscar-winning filmmaker Danny Boyle directed the opening ceremonies. The show cost $42 million and required 15,000 volunteers.An Exciting OpeningBoyles ceremonies took audiences through a history of England. The performance began in the English countryside, continued with the building of factories and cities and ended up in the modern age, with performers texting and using cellphones.Next, the athletes, coaches and officials from the 205 nations competing made their way into the stadium during the Parade of Nations. The ceremonies ended with the lighting of the Olympic flame and Paul McCartney, former member of the famous rock band The Beatles, singing the song “Hey Jude”.Super SurprisesThe opening weekend of competition took some unexpected turns. American swimmer Ryan Lochte surprised the world when he beat teammate Michael Phelps to win a gold medal in the 400-meter individual medley (混合泳). It was the first time Phelps did not win a medal in an Olympic race since 2000, when Phelps was 15.” I had a chance to put myself in a good spot, and I didnt do it,” Phelps said after the race. “Its pretty upsetting, but the biggest thing now is to try to get back and move forward.”Even more surprising was Chinas 16-year-old Ye Shiwens unbelievable performance in the womens 400-metre individual medley. Ye set the first swimming world record this year, even swimming faster than mens gold medalist, Lochte, during the final 50 meters of the race!Though many expected to see American gymnast Jordyn Wieber take home gold in the womens all gymnastics final, Wieber did not qualify (使具有资格) for the event. Only two gymnasts from each country can qualify, and Wieber was beaten by teammates Gabby Douglas and Aly Raisman.With the Games just getting under way, there are likely many more surprises. What else will surprise fans around the world? Youll have to watch to find out!51.The underlined phrase “kicked off” in Paragraph 1 means _.A. startedB. attendedC. heldD. celebrated52.What did the opening ceremonies mainly show us?A.

Michael Phelps took second place in the 400-meter individual medley. B. Ryan Lochte defeated Michael Phelps and won a gold medal. C. Ye Shiwen swam faster than mens gold medalist throughout the final. D. Jordyn Wieber was beaten by her teammates in the all-around gymnastics final. 54.What is the best title for the text?A. Let the Games BeginB. London Olympics Opening Ceremonies C. London, the City to Host the Most Olympics D. The Olympic Moments that Surprised the World BLaptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable (便携式) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and were giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”55. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _.A. connect them to librariesB. search the Internet C. work only at home D. use for their schoolwork 56. Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers. B.1500 students have laptops.C.It is an old college in America. D. Students there can do everything.57. The underlined phrase “a window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can _.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. get information from around the worldC.travel around the worldD. have free laptops58. What can we infer from the passage?A. We dont know the result yet. B. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive. D. The program is terrible.CTo face the musicLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music,” it does not mean hes planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didnt do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, its time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did-facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines (台词). But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.59. How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.60. What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean? A. To face the stage. B. To face the back of the horse. C. To face ones leader or father. D. To face something far less pleasant.61. Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?A. When we are playing basketball in the playground. B. When we are making a speech before a lot of people.C. When we are having a party at ease with our teachers. D. When we are talking with somebody in secret.62. The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means _. A. unfriendlyB. dislikeC. unkindD. unnecessary DOne might expect that the ever-growing demands of the tourist trade would bring nothing but good for the countries that receive the holiday-makers. Indeed, a rosy picture is painted for the long-term future of the holiday industry. Every month sees the building of a new hotel somewhere. And every month another rock-bound Pacific island is advertised as the “last paradise (天堂) on earth”.However, the scale and speed of this growth seem set to destroy the very things tourists want to enjoy. In those countries where there was a rush to make quick money out of seaside holidays, over-crowded beaches and the concrete jungles of endless hotels have begun to lose their appeal.Those countries with little experience of tourism can suffer most. In recent years, Nepal set out to attract foreign visitors to fund developments in health
