Write your answers in the spaces provided on the right of the page. （1）Sports is one of the worlds largest industries, and most athletes are professionals who are paid for their efforts. Because an athlete succeeds by achievement onlynot b
3、y economic background or family connectionssports can be a fast route to wealth, and many athletes play only for money than for love. This has not always been true. In the ancient Olympics the winner got only a wreath of olive leaves (橄榄叶花环). Even though the winners became national heroes, the games
4、 remained amateur for centuries. Athletes won fame, but no money. As time passed, however, the contests became increasingly less amateur and cities began to hire athletes to represent them. By the fourth century A.D., the Olympics were ruined, and they were soon ended. In 1896, the Olympic games wer
5、e revived (使再度兴起)with the same goal of pure amateur competition. The rules bar athletes who have ever received a $50 prize or an athletic scholars or who have spent four weeks in a training camp. At least one competitor in the 1896 games met these qualifications. He was Spiridon Loues, a water carri
6、er who won the marathon race, After race, a rich Athenian offered him anything he wanted. A true amateur, Loues accepted only a cart and a horse. Then he gave up running forever. But Loues was an exception and now, as the Chairman of the German Olympic Committee said, “Nobody pays any attention to t
7、hese rules.” Many countries pay their athletes to train year-round, and Olympic athletes are eager to sell their names to companies that make everything from ski equipment to fast food. Even the games themselves have become a huge business. Countries fight to hold the Olympics not only for honor, bu
8、t for money. The 1972 games in Munich cost the Germans 545 million dollars, but by selling medal symbols, TV rights, food, drink ,hotel rooms, and souvenirs (纪念品), they managed to make a profit. Appropriately, the symbol of victory in the Olympic games is no longer a simple olive wreathit is a gold

According to the author, some athletes are even willing to advertise for businesses which sell things like S7 _. S8. The 1972 M
11、unich games managed to make a big profit mainly by S8 (1)_ services and selling S8 (2)_. （2）What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher? I think the following would be generally accepted.First, the teachers personality should be lively and attractive. This does not rule out people who are pla
12、in-looking, or even ugly, because many such people have great personal charm. But it does rule out such types as the over-excitable, sad, cold, and frustrated.Secondly, it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy, a capacity to understand the minds
13、and feelings of other people, especially, since most teachers are school teachers, the minds and feelings of children. Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant - not, indeed, of what is wrong, but of the weaknesses and immaturity of human nature which induce people, and again especia
14、lly children, to make mistakes.Thirdly, I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest. This means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths and limitations, and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided.
15、 There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor. That is part of the technique of teaching, which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act to enliven (使生动) a lesson, correct a fault, or award praise. Children, especially yo
16、ung children, live in a world that is rather larger than life.A teacher must be capable of infinite patience. This, I may say, is largely a matter of self-discipline and self-training, for we are none of us born like that.Finally, I think a teacher should have the kind of mind which always wants to
17、go on learning. Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect; there is always something more to learn about it. There are three principal objects of study: the subjects which the teacher is teaching; the methods by which the subjects can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes
18、 he is teaching; and - by far the most important - the children, young people, or adults to whom the subjects are to be taught. The two fundamental principles of British education today are that education is education of the whole person, and that it is best acquired through full and active co-opera
19、tion between two persons, the teacher and the learner. S1. Plain-looking teachers can also be admired by their students if they have S1 .S2. The author says it is S2 that teachers be sympathetic with their students.S3. A teacher should be tolerant because humans tend to have S3 (1) and to be S3 (2)
20、.S4. A teacher who is S4 will be able to make his lessons more lively.S5. How can a teacher acquire infinite patience? S5 S6. Since teaching is a job no one can be perfect at, it is necessary for teachers to keep improving their knowledge of the subjects they teach and their S6 S7. Teachers most imp
21、ortant object of study is S7 .S8. Education cannot be best acquired without S8 between the teacher and the learner（3） For many women choosing whether to work or not to work outside their home is a luxury: they must work to survive. Others face a hard decision. Perhaps the easiest choice has to do wi
22、th economics. One husband said, “Marge and I decided after careful consideration that for her to go back to work at this moment was an extravagance (奢侈) we couldnt afford.” With two preschool children, it soon became clear in their figuring that with babysitters (临时照看小孩的人), transportation, and incre
23、ased taxes, rather than having more money, they might actually end up with less. Economic factors are usually the first to be considered, but they are not the most important. The most important aspects of the decision have to do with the emotional needs of each member of the family. It is in this ar
24、ea that husbands and wives find themselves having to face many confusing and conflicting feelings. There are many women who find that homemaking is boring or who feel imprisoned (被囚禁) if they have to stay home with a young child or several children. On the other hand, there are women who think that
25、homemaking gives them the deepest satisfaction. From my own experience，I would like to suggest that sometime the decision to go back to work is made in too much haste. There are few decisions that I now regret more. I wasnt mature enough to see how much I could have gained at home. I regret my impat
26、ience to get on with my career. I wish I had allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girls eyes.Questions: (注意：答题尽量简短，超过10个词要扣分。每条横线限写一个英语单词，标点符号不占格。)S1.

If given a second chance, the writer would probably choose to _. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _（4）As researchers learn more about how childrens intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the h
29、ome. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence the childs understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, childrens achievements have been far
30、 more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language- related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.In view of their power, its sad to see so many parents not making the most of their childs intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parent
