21、The Winter Olympic Games are a major international sporting event that occurs once every four years. Unlike the Summer Olympics, the Winter Olympics feature sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, was held in Chamonix, France. The Games were held every four years from 1924 until 1936, after which they were interrupted by World War II. The Olympics resumed in 1948 and was again held every four years. Until 1992, the Winter and Summer Olympic Games were held in the same year.
The Winter Games have evolved since its beginning. Sports and disciplines have been added and some of them, such as short track speed skating, freestyle skiing, have earned a permanent spot on the Olympic program. Others have been discontinued and later reintroduced. Still others, such as speed skiing, bandy and skijoring, were demonstration sports but never incorporated(合并)as Olympic sports. The rise of television as a global medium for communication enhanced the impression of the Games. It created an income stream, via the sale of broadcast rights and advertising.This allowed outside interests, such as television companies and corporate sponsors.
Beijing has become the first city to host both Summer and Winter Olympic Games after beating Kazakhstan’s Almaty to hold the 2022 Winter Olympics. With a fully-prepared final presentation by an all-star team, Beijing has successfully convinced the committee members that the 2008 Olympics host city is a more favored candidate for the Winter Games. Beijing was the safe choice because it had already proved it could stage the Games and said it would take winter sports into the backyard of the world’s most populated country.
【1】 Why were the Winter Olympic Games not held for 12 years ?
A. Because of the economic crisis
B. Because of culture difference
C. Because of the Second World War
D. Because of countries’ lack of interest
【2】 Which of the following is a sports event of the Winter Games ?
A. Speed skiing B. Freestyle skiing
C. Bandy D. Skijoring
【3】 What does the underlined word “ enhanced” in paragraph two mean?
A. Improved B. Reduced C. Paused D. Balanced
【4】 Beijing won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games mainly due to______.
A. its rich experience
B. its large population
C. its safety
D. its ability to stage the Games

23、When Jenny Benson was eight, her mother took her to soccer practice for the first time.
“She’s never played soccer before,” Mrs Benson told the coach.“I’m not sure how she’ll do.”
Jenny ran onto the field and joined the other players. Over the next hour, Mrs Benson and the coach watched as Jenny outran many of the more experienced players.
“I knew then that soccer would be Jenny’s sport.” Mrs Benson recalls. And she was right.
It may have helped that Jenny had spent much of her time trying to keep up with her three brothers.“I wanted to be just like them,” Jenny says.“My family has inspired me for my entire life.”
Jenny has retired from the United States women’s national soccer team. She started out on her professional career in the Philadelphia Charge, a team in the Women’s United Soccer Association (WUSA)．Later on, she joined FC Energy Voronezh, and then New Jersey Wildcats.
When the WUSA was being formed, league officials watched many college soccer games, looking for players good enough to join the league. They were very interested in Jenny, who played for the University of Nebraska.
“Throughout that college season, I knew I was being watched,” Jenny says, “I knew I couldn’t be perfect, so I just tried to be very consistent and have fun.”
As a professional, Jenny relied on her focused but funloving attitude. “In a game, I try never to put too much pressure on myself. The more I concentrate on having fun, the better I play.” She says. “I have good and bad days, just like everyone else, but I know the sun will always come up after a bad day. So all I have to do is to adjust myself, either to the change of my inner feelings or to the change of circumstances.That helps me get through anything.”

24、We are all shocked by the news we have just heard from Balmoral. The death of Her Majesty the Queen is a huge shock to the nation and to the world. Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ was the rock on which modern Britain was built. Our country has grown and developed under her reign(统治时期).
Britain is the great country it is today because of her. She became the queen just after the Second World War. She supported the development of the Commonwealth(英联邦)—from a small group of 7 countries to a family of 56 nations
We are now a modern, strong, energetic nation. Through thick and thin, Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ provided us with the stability and the strength that we needed. She was the very spirit of Great Britain—and that spirit will last. She has been our longest—ever reigning monarch(执政君主). It is an extraordinary achievement with such dignity and grace for 70 years. In return, she was loved and admired by the people in the United Kingdom and all around the world.
Earlier this week, at 96, she remained determined to carry out her duties as she appointed me as her 15th prime minister. Throughout her life she has visited more than 100 countries and she has touched the lives of millions around the world.
Today the Crown passes—as it has done for more than a thousand years—to our new monarch: His Majesty King Charles Ⅲ. With the King’s family, we show sadness for the loss of his mother. And meanwhile we must come together as a people to support him. We offer him our loyalty and devotion just as his mother devoted so much to so many for so long. And with the passing of the second Elizabethan age, we enter a new era in the history of our great country.
Exactly as Her Majesty would have wished—by saying the words: “God save the King.”

As I ______ the front door, the “doorman” was opening it for an older couple, who rushed past him and didn’t even acknowledge his ______. I let the couple ______ first and then said a loud and gracious “thank you” to the doorman.
After going back inside, I asked our waitress, who was bringing the kids their dessert, to ______ one soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me ______ ---as we had already eaten but Ken knew exactly what I was doing.
