     "London is ready to welcome the world," commission chairman Denis Oswald said. "We can feel that
London is feeling the fever of the games."
     On April18, the British capital marked the 100-day countdown to the opening ceremony of the
Games, which will be held from July 27 to August12, with a series of events. A giant set of Olympic
rings, made up of 20,000 flowers, were unveiled at Kew Gardens in west London. And the motto for
the London Olympics has been announced as "Inspire a generation."
     London 2012 chairman Seb Coe announced the motto. He said: "It is everything that we have been
saying since we started this extraordinary journey." Coe added that the motto is also a call for athletes to
come to the U.K. to perform at their very best and inspire the world.
     The preparations for the Games are proceeding according to plan-being both on time and within
budget, according to London 2012 chief executive Paul Deighton. Deighton said that millions of people
around the U.K. are getting ready to celebrate the biggest event in sport. "Eight million of the 11 million
tickets have been sold to people in Britain and we are sure that Brits will get hold of a chunk of the other
three million too."
     Many of the test events have already been held at the Olympic venues. And a bigger one will come on
the first weekend of May in the Olympic Park.
    Coe has been mentioned by the British media and British bookmakers as among the contenders to light
the flame, although his position as organizing committee leader always made that seem unlikely. Five-time
rowing gold medalist Steve Redgrave remains the betting favorite.

17【题文】You're busy filling out the application form for a position you really need. Let's assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it appealing to lie just a little, to claim on the form that your diploma represents a Harvard degree? Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University? More and more people are turning to cheat like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university.

Registrars(登记员) at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week. Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "cheats"; another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people". To avoid outright(彻底的) lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century—that's when they began keeping records, anyhow. If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a false diploma.

  One company, with offices in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper.

41.The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A.employers are checking more closely on applicants now

B.lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem

C.college degrees can now be purchased easily

D.employers are no longer interested in college degrees

42.According to the passage, "special cases" refers to cases that ______.

A.students attend a school only part-time

B.students never attended a school they listed on their application

C.students purchase false degrees from commercial firms

D.students attended a famous school

43.We can infer from the passage that _______.

A.performance is a better judge of ability than a college degree

B.experience is the best teacher

C.past work histories influence personnel officers more than degrees do

D.a degree from a famous school enables an applicant to gain advantage over others in job competition

44.This passage implies that ______.

A.buying a false degree is not moral

B.personnel officers only consider applicants from famous schools

C.most people lie on applications because they were dismissed from school

D.society should be greatly responsible for lying on applications

18【题文】Doris Lessing was born in 1919 in Persia, moving as a child with her family to southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe, where she stayed in school only to the age of 14.

A year after moving to London, she published her first novel in 1950. The Grass is Singing examines unbridgeable racial conflict in colonial Africa through the eyes of a white farmer's wife and her black servant.

Her literary breakthrough came in 1962 with publication of The Golden Notebook, seen by many, though not necessarily Lessing, as a pioneering work of modern feminism(女权运动). A disjointed study of the mind of the main character, Anna Wulf, the novel explores her thoughts about Africa, politics, relationships with men and sex, and Jungian analysis and dream interpretation.

Lessing's themes changed to psychology in her works from the 1960s, and by the 1970s she was interested in the Islamic mystic tradition of Sufism(苏菲教派). Her turn toward science fiction with the Canopus series in the early 1980s was not warmly received by traditional critics, but she has continued to be popular with new readers and numerous literary awards, including the David Cohen British Literary Prize and the Companion of Honour from the Royal Society of Literature, both in 2001.

Following the announcement, the Horace Engdahl told VOA why he was personally so pleased with Lessing's selection.

“She is one of the truly great writers -- of novels, short stories, fiction and non-fiction,” Engdahl said. “She is one of the few writers who have had the courage to uphold the principle of equality between the male and female experience, and she has given the impulse to numbers of other women writers. And she is really the mother of a school that is one of the most important in our contemporary literature.”

At 87, Doris Lessing is the oldest Nobel Literature winner since the first prizes were awarded in 1901.

49. What would be the best title of the passage?

A.Doris Lessing’s Great Writings.

B.Doris Lessing’s Concern about Africa.

C.A Great Writer of Novel and a Pioneer of Modern Feminism.

D.A Nobel Prize Winner for Literature.

50.It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A.there are only two characters in The Grass is Singing

B.The Golden Notebook is regarded as Lessing’s masterpiece by herself

C.life in Africa in her early age lays solid foundation for her writing

D.Doris Lessing is strongly against traditional culture in Africa

51.According to the fourth paragraph, _______.

A.Lessing began to believe in Christ in the 1970s

B.Lessing’s science fiction won readers

C.Lessing had won two literary medals for her writings

D.Lessing changed her themes to meet the needs of traditional critics

52.The underlined word “impulse” in the 6th passage is closest in meaning to _______.

A.pressure

B.inspiration

C.energy

D.desire

It’s lucky for young athletes all over the world to get their chance at Olympic gold since the International Olympic Committee(IOC) voted unanimously (一致地) to host the Young Olympics.

The first-ever Summer Youth Olympics made their debut(首次亮相) in August of 2010. The 12-day competition featured 3,200 kids between the ages of 14 and 18. The first Winter Youth Olympics will be held in 2012 and are expected to attract 1,000 athletes. Both Games will take place every four years on a regular basis.

Childhood obesity was listed as one of the reasons for launching the Young Olympics, IOC president Jacques Rogge said he hoped the global competitions would inspire young people to get off the couch and get into shape.

Rogge also admitted that the IOC wished to attract a younger television audience to the formal Olympics. In the past years, interest in the Games among young people has decreased, with the average age of Olympic viewers on the rise.

Rogge agreed that kids today are more interested in such competitions as the X Games, which features such sports as BMX freestyle, surfing on the sea and Moto X Racing.

The Olympics have tried to keep up with the competition by adding BMX-crossing cycling(自行车越野赛), ski cross and snowboarding to the Olympic program. And the IOC is hoping to strengthen its reputation among teens by including skateboarding in the 2012 London Olympics.
