He was 98. Moriarty, who coached the United States diving team at the Rome Olympics in 1960, helped train some of his times greatest swimmers, among them the Olympic gold medalists Don Schollander, Steve Clark, Mike Austin, John Nelson and Jeff Farrell. He also coached Olympic diving champions like Bob Clot worthy and David Browning. In 1960, Moriartys divers won two gold and four silver medals in Rome.Moriarty had been the diving coach at Yale since 1939 when, in 1959, he succeeded Bob Kiphuth as the swimming team coach . “When I came to Yale .” Clark said , “I was a restless little boy depending on blazing speed and luck. I matured with Phil so that he didnt have to hold my hand . He let me grow and gave me confidence.”Philip Edward Moriarty was born on April 12, 1914, in New Haven. He graduated from high school in 1932 and, though he did not have a college degree, he got a job teaching swimming to Yale students of his age . He also designed a revolutionary starting block that allowed backstrokers(仰泳运动员)to avoid pushing off a slippery wall. It was successful in the United States , but after three years the international federation refused to pprove it .Moriarty promoted backstroke as healthy recreation for the young. When municipal authorities proposed closing public swimming pools to save money in 2008, he opposed the idea in a letter to The Stuart News , a Florida newspaper, saying athletics can help prevent youths from falling into gangs (帮派)and drifting into crime. “The only gangs on swimming teams are relay teams,” he wrote .”The only gun they see is the starters pistol (发令枪), pointed upward, not at someone.”56Paragraph 2 is mainly developed .Aby timeBby spaceCby examplesDby comparison57The underlined word “it ”in Paragraph 4 refers to .Athe use of a starting block for swimmersBthe admittance of backstroke style into the OlympicsCthe acceptance of Moriarty as a swimming judgeDthe practice of pushing off a slippery wall58Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?AThere are criminal relay gangs on swimming teams.BMoriarty trained a group of swimming champions like Browning.CMoriarty had performed as a diving coach since 1939 in Kiphuths place.DIn Moriartys opinion, athletics helps the youths grow up healthily in society.59The passage is probably written to .Atake a different look at Moriartys legendary lifeBadvocate promoting swimming among the youthsCinform readers of Moriartys death and achievementsDdescribe a few swimming and diving medalists at the OlympicsBThe Oxford Mal ,EnglandMost prisons are the kind of place youd be desperate to escape from, not somewhere youd possibly conceive of escaping to .But this former Oxford prison has been converted into a boutique (精品)hotel by the fashionable Malmaison chain and offers the kind of luxurious living that former convicts could only have dreamed of.Rates: Double room 140 (US$233), Breakfast 12.95.hper personJules Undersea Lodge, United StatesOriginally a research laboratory, the worlds only underwater hotel sits at the bottom of the Emerald Lagoon in Florida, and can only be reached by scuba diving down six meters.

Cats, dogs, and other pets top the list, followed by zoo animals. However, because its hard to get them to sit still and perform on command, some professional photographers refuse to photograph pets.One way to get a nice portrait of a cat or dog is to hold a biscuit or treat above the camera. The animals longing look toward the food will be captured by the camera, but the treat wont appear in the picture because its out of the cameras range. When you show the picture to your friends afterwards, theyll be impressed by your pets loving expression.If you are using fast film, you can take some good, quick shots of a pet after calling its name. Youll get a different expression from your pet using this technique. Depending on your pets mood, the picture will capture an interested, curious expression or possibly a look of annoyance, especially if youve awakened it from sleep.Taking pictures of zoo animals requires a little more patience. After all, you cant wake up a lion! You may have to wait for a while until the animal does something interesting or moves into a position for you to get a good shot. When photographing zoo animals, dont get too close to the cages, and never tap on the glass or throw things between the bars of a cage. Concentrate on shooting some good pictures, and always respect the animals you are photographing.63Why do some professional photographers NOT like to take pictures of pets?APets may not follow orders.BPets dont want to be bothered.CPets may not like photographers.DPets seldom change their expressions.64What is the use of a biscuit in taking pictures of a pet?ATo capture a cute look.BTo create a special atmosphere.CTo arouse the appetite of the pet.DTo keep the pet from looking at the camera.65What is the advantage of calling your pets name when taking a shot of it?ATo help your pet look its best. BTo make sure that your pet sits still. CTo keep your pet awake for a while. DTo catch a different expression of your pet.66In what way is photographing zoo animals different from photographing pets?A You need to have fast film.B You need special equipment.C You need to stay close to the animals.D You need more time to watch and waitDImpressed by his success in hosting the Olympic Games, nearly three-quarters (71 percent)of British now want the 18-year-old London mayor Boris Johnson to become prime minister (PM), according to a UK-wide survey conducted for Ladbrokes on Saturday.Ladbrokes is now offering odds of 2/1 that he is re-elected mayor in four years time and of 3/1 that he becomes prime minister before 2030.The blond -haired mayor on the contrary , firmly denies any interest in seeking the top job and has sought in vain to quell a growing guess that he might follow in the footsteps of fellow Conservative politician David Cameron.What do I have to do to make this silly-season （新闻匮乏期）story go away? How could anybody elect a fool who gets stuck in a zip wire（滑索）?he complained earlier this week, referring to a video shot of him on a 150 feet-high wire in Victoris Park last week when he was left swinging over a crowd of people for several minutes, holding two national flags .Several political observers have later noted that the modest Johnson is perhaps the only politician in Britain who could escape from such an embarrassment with his dignity undamaged.To become prime minister, Johnson would first have to stand for election to Parliament again, having left to become mayor in 2008. While few doubt his public appeal, many say his complex private life would be a disadvantage to his becoming prime minister. However, Ladbrokes Alex Donohue thinks otherwise, “Each fault only seems to add to his appeal. The odds now clearly reflect the fact that he could soon be moving on up in the world of politics.”67.Whats the general publics attitude toward Boris being elected prime minister?AOptimistic.BUninterested.CCritical.DDoubtful.68The underlined word “quell”in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by .AensureBspreadCinspireDremove69What can we infer about Boris Johnson according to the passage?AHe wins great popularity with people across Britain.BHe has never been elected to Parliament before.CHe enjoys a nationwide reputation for his personal life.DHe stands a poor chance of winning a seat in Parliament.70What would be the best title for the passage?ALondon mayor applauded for the well received OlympicsBTime for Cameron to win back public supportCNow British want mayor Boris as PMDHard choice lies before Boris.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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选项。How to Be Confident71 Even if your physical appearance, or social skills arent what you wish they were, that doesnt have to stop you from being confident. Heres how to believe in yourself. 1. Make a list of special talents you have, or of things you do that are goodmorally or otherwise. It doesnt have to be a specific skill ; it can be an approach or an attitude that you hold through life. 72 . Are you very patient with people? Do you always see the humorous side of things? Are you always there for your friends? 2.73 When you feel strongly about something , speak loudly and clearly and make eye contact with people. People will judge you all the time ,and usually theyll misjudge you anyway, so why bother trying to live up to their opinions at all?3.Take care of yourself.
