  • 第3题：

    40 years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of. But when the annual games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville, England in 1948 by Sir Ludwig Guttmann, the situation began to change.
    Sir Ludwig Guttmann, who had been driven to England in 1939 from Nazi Germany, had
    been asked by the British government to set up an injuries center at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London. His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled.
    In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part. The next year, 1949, five teams took part. From those beginnings, things have developed fast. Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year. In 1960 the first Olympics for the Disabled were held in Rome, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games. Now, every four years the Olympic Games for the Disabled are held, if possible, in the same place as the normal Olympic Games, although they are organized separately. In other years Games for the Disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville. In the 1984 wheelchair Olympic Games, 1064 wheelchair athletes from about 40 countries took part.
    Unfortunately, they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles, along with the other Olympics.
    TheGameshavebeenagreatsuccessinpromotinginternationalfriendshipandunderstanding, and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport. One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games, however, has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at Olympic Games for the able-bodied. Perhaps a few more years are still needed to convince those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should not be excluded.
    From the passage, we may conclude that the writer is __________ .

    A.one of the organizers of the game for the disabled
    B.a disabled person who once took part in the games
    C.against holding the games for the disabled
    D.in favor of holding the games for the disabled

    问答题
    The modern Olympic Games are the leading international sporting event nowadays. However, there are constant voices to call for stopping the Olympic Games. The followings are opinions on whether we should abolish the Olympics from different media. Read them carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should:　　1. summarize briefly the arguments on both sides;　　2. give your comment.　　Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.http://camilla.com.au/　　The Olympic charter’s call for a “peaceful society” and the “preservation of human dignity” is a very noble one, but its means are rather odd. Through fierce athletic competition between nations, individual rivalries between athletes, who, training for 75% of their waking life, probably play a very little role in their society anyway.　　The Olympics is an arena for individual achievement: however, if someone is to win a race, others must lose. Emphasis is not placed on athletes improving their personal best but on who wins.　　Having many nations come together shows worldwide solidarity, but it is a strange sort of solidarity, nations united by their athletes in Lycra and branded shoes. The cultures of nations are shown by little more than flag waving and the appearance of their mascots.The Guardian　　The original “spirit” of the Olympics was supposedly that of sporting competition between amateurs who competed for the honor of doing so, and to test themselves against the best sportspeople from around the world. However, the Olympics has become ever more commercialized, high-jacked by corporations and turned into a giant advertising hoarding. The kinds of moneys and rewards potentially available from excelling on the international stage has served to incentivise not only professionalization, also corruption and cheating. The professed aspirations of the Olympic movement and the grubby reality of the contemporary Olympics are now utterly opposed.The New York Times　　Citizens of the host city, often uninterested in the Olympic spectacle, can end up having to foot the bill by paying extra taxes, or having their existing taxes routed away from other services. The construction of Olympic facilities, company investment and the regeneration of areas in host cities can be very disruptive, pricing local residents and shopkeepers out of their areas. Building an Olympic site can necessitate the demolition of homes and historical places. Previous Olympics have shown that Olympic resources, when the games are over, do not always benefit the host city or society. Olympic sites can become ghost towns, so characteristic of the year they were built in as to be aesthetically odd, impractical, inhospitable and unfashionable a decade later.TIME　　The athletes competing in the Olympic games have worked hard for years, showing dedication to achieving physical greatness. They keep to a strict diet, and put in hundreds of hours training in a week, all for the honor of competing against the best athletes in the world. Those that are caught cheating are dealt with harshly, which teaches against honesty and dedication to one’s dreams.　　Athletes dedicate the best part of their lives to this ideal, by constantly improving their performance. Individual performance stands here for “celebration of collective values”—including that of fair competition. Individual athletes represent whole nations—their competing actualizes transnational togetherness and the search for commonality and global cooperation.　　Above all, the Olympic spirit is a beacon of hope. Countless times the games have instilled hope and togetherness in many. In a world of growling animosity, it is encouraging to see a sense of peace and togetherness gather every four years.

    正确答案：
    【参考范文】
    The Olympic Games Shouldn’t Be Abolished There are different voices about whether the modern Olympic Games should be abolished. As the article covered on The Guardian,the modern Olympic Games are highly commercialized, prohibitively costly, and void of social benefits. So these people think that this global event should better be cancelled. On the other hand, the Olympic Games advocate world peace, friendship and hope, media like TIME believes that it is of great significance to hold Olympic Games. As a huge sports fan, I am strongly against the idea of abolishing this global sports gala.
    The movement should have its own place in the international community mainly for three reasons. Firstly, the Olympic Games provide an international arena for players from all over the world to compete with each other, show human talents and challenge physical limit. Through participating in the Olympic Games, people break more and more records. It is someone’s dream to win an Olympic medal after years of training and whenever we meet problems, we will draw upon the spirit of “faster, higher and stronger”. Besides, the Games can also promote mutual communication between different countries. Thirdly, the influx of foreign visitors would greatly facilitate the development of the economy in the host city and in order to make the full use of Olympic facilities, we are building more practical facilities.
    In conclusion, we humanity would suffer a great loss if modern Olympic Games be abolished. As for some fixable issues, such as resources wasting, we are figuring out ways to deal with that with the help of modern technology. It is unwise to throw the baby out with the bath water. The Olympic Games are a vital platform for us to excel ourselves and forge abounds cross national borders.
