Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad because it sets one person against another and it leads to unfriendly relationships between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winners and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame（責備）competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one' s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve (緩解) can we discover a new meaning in competition. 61. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-respect. B. Opinions about competition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition 62. Why do some people favor competition according to passage? A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty. C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts. 63. The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means"_________”. A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success 64. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail? A. One' s worth lies in his performance compared with others B. One' s success in competition needs great efforts. C. One' s achievement is determined by his particular D. One' s success is based on how hard he has tried. 65. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competition should be encouraged. C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition. B Baths and bathing have long been considered of medical importance to man. In Greece there are the ruins(廢墟) of a water system(系統(tǒng)) for baths built over 3,000 years ago. The Romans had warm public baths. In some baths, as many as 3,000 persons could bathe at the same time. Treating disease by taking bathing has been popular for centuries. Modern medical bathing first became popular in Europe and by the late 1700's has also become popular in the United States. For many years frequent(經常的) bathing was believed to be bad for one's health. Ordinary bathing just to keep clean was avoided(避免), and perfume was often used to cover up body smells! By the 1700's doctors began to say that soap and water were good for health. They believed that it was good for people to be clean. Slowly, people began to bathe more frequently. During the Victorian Age of the late 19th century, taking a bath on Saturday night became common. In the United States ordinary bathing was slow to become popular. During the 18th and early 19th centuries, many Americans were know as "The Great Unwashed!" In one American city, for example, a person was only allowed to take a bathe every thirty days! That was a law! Frequency of bathing today is partly a matter of habit. People know that bathing for cleanliness is important to health, Doctors know that dirty bodies increase the chance of diseases. As a result, in the United States, people generally bathe often. Some people bath once a day at least. They consider a daily bath essential (=necessary) to good health. 66. A water system for baths was built by ____________over 3,000 years ago. A. the Romans B. the Greeks C. the Americans D. the Europeans 67. Dirty bodies can ____________ . A. ruin one's business B. cause disease C. drive customers away D. cause good health 68. In the 18th century doctors believed that being clean was . A. unimportant B. good for health C. harmful D. important 69. The underlined word perfume probably means ____________ . A. a sweet smelling substance B. good health C. a strange smelling substance D. large wealth 70. Which of the following gives the main idea of the passage? A. Everybody in America takes a daily bath. B. A bath a day keeps the doctor away. C. Taking baths has become popular in the world. D. Bathing has become easier and cheaper. C They once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws（人力車）can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities．Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution． In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new mode of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks． It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy," said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year． While the city still has 7,000 motor-taxis, rickshaw company officials say their taxis' green ethics, speed and safety make them more than just a tourist attraction．While now increasingly out of fashion in Delhi, Berlin people have eagerly accepted the new fleet since their launch in 1997． "It's better than a taxi, better than a bus, better than the train," said Ulf Lehman, 36, as he leapt out of a rickshaw near the world famous Brandenburg gate．"It feels so free．" "This is something out of the ordinary you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin," said another traveler． In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage．"I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger．Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi． Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past． Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment． 71．Where are rickshaws becoming more popular? A．Delhi, Berlin, Paris． B．Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi． C．Athens, London, Berlin． D．Berlin, Amsterdam, London． 72．Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past? A．They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history． B．They have been banned because they are too cruel． C．The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily． D．Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer． 73．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 6 suggest? A．The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok． B．The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok． C．The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual． D．The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin． 74．Which of the following is mentioned in the text? A．Rickshaws may need to pay tax for causing traffic jams． B．Rickshaws and taxis are treated differently in London． C．Rickshaws will eventually take the place of taxis． D．Rickshaws will always be a cheap means of transport． 75. What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws? A. He gives no personal opinion. B. He believes they will be of no use. C. He thinks they will reduce pollution. D. He thinks they are old-fashioned. 五、短文改錯 （10分） 下面短文中共有10處錯誤，錯誤涉及一個單詞的增加、刪除或修改。 增加：在缺詞處加一個漏詞符號（∧），并在此符號下面寫出該加的詞。 刪除：把多余的詞用斜線（\）劃掉。 修改：在錯的詞下劃一橫線，并在該詞下面寫出修改后的詞。 注意：1．每處錯誤及其修改均僅限一詞； 2． 只允許修改10處，多者（從第11處起）不計分 My father speaks very well English, but he knows little Japanese.
