It is true that the first Olympic Games of the modern times in 1896 were not open to women.Baron Pierre de Coubertin,who gave new life to the Games,was very much a man of his time.He didn’t like women showing up for the Games.But since this time,things have changed.History shows that the number of women participating in the Olympic Games has been increasing over the years,since their first participation in the 1900 Olympic Games and especially in the last 30 years.This development is of social,political and cultural significance(意义).
The progress is the result of the cooperation(合作)of the entire Olympic Movement and of proper measures that the International Olympic Committee(IOC),International Sports Federations(IFs),and National Olympic Committees(NOCs)have taken.Especially in the last 20 years,the IOC has enlarged the women’s programme at the Olympic Games,in cooperation with IFs and the Organising Committees for the Olympic Games(OCOGs).This development was further strengthened(巩固)by the IOC’s decision that all sports must have women’s events.The IOC also started to work on increasing the number of women at leadership level in sport in 1981.Former President Juan Antonio Samaranch,who wanted to have women as IOC members made a great contribution(贡献).
Many sports volunteers have worked to increase the number of women joining in the Olympic Games.This progress has been made also thanks to the strong determination of women from different countries of the world who have worked to make sure women are fully represented in all sports.

Babies born in the summer are more likely to become shortsighted in their later lives,a study has shown.
As many as a quarter of all cases of shortsightedness are caused by too much exposure to the sunlight in the first weeks of their lives,say eye experts.
They are advising that all babies should be put on sunglasses by their parents during the first weeks.
Scientists have already found that over-exposure to the sunlight causes shortsightedness in animals.
Researchers,who compared the months in which babies were born with whether they needed glasses later on,say the principle also applies to humans.
A study of almost 300,000 young adults showed that those born in June and July had more chances of becoming severely shortsighted than those born in December or January.
Research leader Professor Michael Belkin,of Tel Aviv University,said it was because prolonged exposure to the sunlight causes eyeballs to lengthen—causing shortsightedness.
Therefore the more sunlight a newborn baby is exposed to,the more its eyeballs lengthen and the worse its shortsightedness will be.
The mechanism which lengthens the eyeballs is associated with levels of melatonin(褪黑激素),a pi gment(色素)which protects the skin against harmful rays of the sun.
In newborn babies not enough melatonin is released as protection,which means they are more vulnerable to sunburn and changes of the eyeball shape.
Sight expert Professor Daniel O’Leary,of Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge,said,“At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why exposure to the sunlight affects sight,but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shorts ighted.”
41.Babies born in the summer are more likely to be short-sighted .
A.because the sunlight in the summer is lighter than that in other seasons
B.because they are very likely to be born with lengthened eyeballs
C.if they are exposed to the sunlight too much in the first weeks after they are born
D.if their parents don’t pay attention to their babies’ eye health
提示:根据文章第一、二段可知答案。
答案:C
42.Melatonin is a kind of material that .
A.can prevent the eyes from being hurt
B.can affect the eyeball shape and the skin health
C.can make our body strong and healthy
D.can make the babies’ eyes healthy
提示:从文章倒数第二、三段内容可知,melatonin是一种会影响到眼球形状及皮肤健康的物质。
答案:B
43.According to the passage,a baby born in would be most likely to become shortsighted.
A.March B.September
C.July D.May
提示:根据第六段内容可知,最有可能的是夏天的六、七月份,因此答案选C项。
答案:C
44.From what Professor Daniel O’Leary says we can learn that .
A.there is no evidence that shor tsightedness is related to exposure to the sunlight
B.exposure to the sunlight couldn’t affect sight
C.he believes that exposure to the sunlight can cause shortsightedness
D.he managed to give the precise cause of why exposure to the sunlight affects sight
提示:根据文章最后一段“At the moment we don’t know the precise cause of why exposure to the sunlight affects sight,but the evidence seems to prove that it is one of the reasons for people becoming shortsighted.”可知,奥利里教授相信夏天暴露于阳光中是造成近视的原因之一。
答案:C
45.The underlined word “vulnerable” in Para.10 probably means “ ”.
A.easy to be harmed B.easy to be resisted
C.easy to be protected D.easy to be changed
提示:根据上下文语境判断可知,防护色素水平越低,人们就越容易受到阳光的侵害,故选A项。

任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。
注意:每个空格只填一个单词。
Traditionally,customers may consider more about what they buy the product for.However,the image of product and the consuming circumstance have become the key points to attract customer awareness and stimulate their buying needs.Frequently,customers buy goods just because they are cute,lovely and unique.With a less emphasis on functional utilities,the experience and imaginative space are placed into an increasingly important role.The image of product is emphasised,as well as the communication between products and consumers.“Customer behaviour,which appears to be focused and directed at the object and at pleasure,in fact responds to quite different objectives:displaced expression of desire,and the production of a code of social values through the use of differential signs.”The reason for image-oriented customer behaviour is probably that customers’ lifestyle has been continuously virtualized by paying much attention to “Virtual Reality”.The evidences can be traced from computer games and Hollywood movies,in which customers’ preferenc e for fleeing reality is perfectly matched.
This change requires us to take efforts to enhance product image by integrating style,color,taste,shape and material,and communicate with customers creatively,imaginatively and innovatively,and enable them to enjoy the distinctive experience image brings.The typical example is Apple Computer’s IMAC,which has strong visual impact and outstanding dynamics.By this way,customer relationship can be set up through image,and brand can be treated as living that can transform people.Other examples commonly used are Disney Fairyland and Las Vegas,where new experience and imagination are fully demonstrated.In sum,consumption is a negotiation,a never-ending conversation held in the languages of advertising,packaging,branding,fashion,and entertainment.
More Attention to the Image of Product
Different aspects 46. about by people when they are shopping In the past,people think more about the 47. of the goods.People today are more easily 48. by the 49. of product and the buying atmosphere.
Different 50. to promote sales Traditionally,producers may focus more on the functional utilities of goods.
Nowadays,product image should be 51. and there should be more effective 52. with customers.
More details worth noticing.
续表
The 53. for image-centred behaviour Influenced by computer games and Hollywood movies,people’s 54. is virtualized.
55. are given to prove the importance of image Apple Computer’s IMAC/Disney Fairyland/Las Vegas
答案:46.concerned/cared 47.use/function 48.attracted
49.image 50.ways/methods 51.stressed/emphasised 52.communication 53.reason 54.lifestyle 55.Examples

参考范文:
Dear Headmaster,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we have had in our class about whether a mobile phone should be brought to school.
To tell you the truth,the students have different opinions.In our class about 70% of the students think that students shouldn’t bring mobile phones to school,because,with them,students may not fix their attention on their lessons.If,by chance,the phone is not turned off,the ringing will disturb the class.Furthermore,using mobile phones will add to their parents’ economic burdens.
And about 30% of the students think that students can bring such phones to school.When they are having classes,they should turn their mobile phones off.Times have developed,and it is not right to keep the students within a certain old discipline.The students who bring phones to school shouldn’t be regarded as bad o nes.
I think that a student can bring a mobile phone to school,but he mus t be careful.
Yours,
Li Ming
