So in 1896, the modern Olympic Games were held in Athens（雅典）, Greece.

The problem? We are consuming the candy at a faster pace than farmers can grow cocoa. The can manufacturers say that in 2013, people consumed 70,000 tons more cocoa than was produced. Experts say that this is the worst supply-demand imbalance they have experienced m more than 50 years.Parts of the reason for the condition is the large reduction in supply, caused by a continuous drought in the west African countries of Ivory Coast and Ghana, where more than 70 percent of the worlds cocoa is produced. Additionally, a certain disease known as frosty pod has destroyed 30 to 40 percent of global cocoa production. As a result, many farmers have turned to more profitable and easier grown crops like corn. This means that even if conditions improve, cocoa production may never get back to normal.Meanwhile, the world is only getting hungrier for chocolate. The biggest increase in demand is from the residents of emerging market countries like India. Though their consumption is nowhere close to the amount European devour, their newly acquired amount for the treat, is making a huge dent (凹痕) in an already tight market.There is also the growing desire for dark chocolate, which contains more than 70 percent cocoa compared to normal chocolates. Experts believe that if consumption continue at this pace, cocoa deficits (差额) could swell to one million tons by 2020 and to an even more worrisome, two million tons, by 2030.Not surprisingly, cocoa prices have risen by 60% since 2012, a cost that manufacturers have offset by raising the prices of everyones favorite candy. As the situation worsens, the price of chocolate can only riseso be sure to enjoy piece of the sweet treat, like it is your last!28.The underlined phrase “supplydemand imbalance” probably means .A. People consume more chocolate than productionB. Farmers grow more cocoa than peoples demandC. More and more people like eating chocolates nowD. Chocolates are becoming more and more expensive29.It is hard to raise cocoa production probably because .A. The weather is changeable in the west AfricaB. A certain disease spread around the worldC. Many farmers dont grow any longerD. It is impossible for conditions to be improved30.Where has the demand of chocolate been increasing greatly according to the passage?A. In Asia B. In AfricaC. In Europe D. In America31.According to the authors prediction, we can know that .A. Chocolate will become cheap sooner or laterB. The farmers will produce more cocoa in 2030C. The price of chocolate will be going up all the wayD. Dark chocolate will be more popular than common oneDThe arts, especially music, should be part of every schools lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their childrens music instead of seeing them_a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.32.According to the passage, music could make students smarter by _.A. improving their classroom skills and paying attentionB. improving their classroom skills and imaginationC. improving their attention, direction and imaginationD. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas33.What does the underlined phrase glued to in the second paragraph mean?A. unwilling to turn on B. always lookingC. unwilling to leave D. always playing34.The third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _.A. give children self-expression and self-confidenceB. bring to children achievement and successC. give children something to be proud ofD. develop childrens self-confidence35.Whats the best title of this passage？A.

Dont concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas. Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 40.
