colonists（殖民者）who settled there had left england because they felt they were not given religious freedom. they came to the new land and faced difficulties in coming across the ocean. the ship which carried them was called the mayflower. the north atlantic was difficult to travel. there were bad storms. they were helped in learning to live in the new land by the indians who inhabited the region. the puritans（清教徒）, as they were called, had much to be thankful for. their religious practices were no longer a source of criticism by the government. they learned to adapt their farming habits to the climate and soil. when they selected the fourth thursday of november for the thanksgiving celebration, they invited their neighbors, the indians, to join them in dinner and a prayer of gratitude for the new life. they recalled the group of 102 men, women, and children who left england. they remembered their dead who did not live to see the shores of massachusetts. they reflected their 65 days journey which tested their strength. 61. why had the puritans left england? a. because of religious problems. b. to establish a new religion. c. to learn farming. d. because of the indians.62. the

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项。（共5题；每小题2分，共10分）some people believe that international sports create goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. others say that the opposite is true: that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. there is probably some truth in both arguments. 66 not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes, but the games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused mainly by minor national competitions. one country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. there had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match; the loser objected to the final decisions. 67 and their manager was very angry and he said, “this wasnt hockey. hockey and the international hockey federation are finished.” the president of the federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛) of the team for at least three years. 68 the game had ended in a mess. it was thought at first that the united states had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. a russian player popped it into the basket. it was the first time the usa had ever lost an olympic basketball match. 69 the american players then voted not to receive the silver medals. 70 the suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals, or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. a. it is believed that athletes come to the olympic games to compete for their countries. b. incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. c. the judges discussed the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. d. they were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. e. once the judges also got involved in the conflicts between the teams from different countries in the hockey match. f. but in recent years the olympic games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. g. the american basketball team announced that they would not give up first place of russia, after a disputable(有争议的) end to their competition. 第三部分 写作（共二节，满分25分）第一节
