阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight.It was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.

The event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks.For one reason or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified.That left only one to complete.It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is important.

I watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was wrong.I'm not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality.When he resurfaced, it was evident that the man was not out for gold — his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.The crowd started to laugh.Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.

I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a hard time.Finally he made his turn to start back.It was pitiful.He made a few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.

But in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.

No longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer.Some even began to stand and shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.

A clear minute past the average swimmer, this young man finally finished his race.The crowd went wild.You would have thought that he had won the gold, and he should have.Even though he recorded one of the slowest times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other competitors.

Just a short year ago, he had never even swum, let alone race.His country had been invited to Sydney.

In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals feeling they have somehow been cheated out of gold, or when they act so proudly in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog.

51.From the passage we can learn that the young man ________.

A.made his turn to start back pitifully B.was skillful in freestyle in the game

C.swam faster than the average swimmer D.was not capable enough to win the medal

52.The crowd changed their attitudes because ________.

A.they felt sorry for the young man B.they were moved by the young man

C.they wanted to show their sympathy D.they meant to please the young man

53.According to the passage, “it is nice to watch an underdog” probably means ________.

A.it’s amusing to watch a man with awful swimming skills

B.it’s amazing to watch an ordinary man challenging himself

C.it’s cheerful for athletes to act proudly before their competitors

D.it’s brave enough for some athletes to remove the silver medals

54.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Compete for Gold! B.Try again!

C.Break a Record! D.Go for it!

B

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the greatest resources of the English Language.Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand! There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it.Such a study is well worth the effort, even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare’s day.

However, it is surprising that we should know comparatively little about the life of the greatest English author.We know that Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-on-Avon, and that he died there in 1616.He almost certainly attended the Grammer School in the town,but of this we cannot be sure.We know he was married there in 1582 to Anne Hathaway and that he had three children.We know that he spent much of his life in London writing his masterpieces.But this is almost all that we do know.

However, what is important about Shakespeare’s life is not its incidental details but its products, the plays and the poems.For many years scholars have been trying to add a few facts about Shakespeare’s life to the small number we already possess and for an equally long time critics have been theorizing about the plays.Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear under the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.

Fortunately this is not likely to happen.Shakespeare’s people have long delighted not just the English but lovers of literature everywhere, and will continue to do so after the scholars and critics and all their works have been forgotten.

55.This passage is about .

A.the great length of each chapter

B.the great varieties in writing styles

C.the richness of the content in Shakespeare’s works

D.the rich English language used by Shakespeare in his works

56.According to the writer,which of the following remains uncertain about Shakespeare?

A.His date of birth. B.His marriage.

C.His life in the Grammer School. D.His date of death.

57.It can be inferred from Para 3 that .

A.not all the comments on Shakespeare’s works have produced good effects

B.scholars have successfully collected facts about Shakespeare’s life

C.critics are more interested in Shakespeare’s play than his poetry

D.the details of Shakespeare’s life are more important than his literary works

58.What does the last sentence in Para 3 mean ?

A.People don’t think the poetry of Shakespeare good any more.

B.People pay more attention to the comment than the poetry of Shakespeare.

C.People can’t see the poetry of Shakespeare any more.

D.The comment is printed on the poetry of Shakespeare.
