7、Passage Five
In 1924,Nordic ski events were held at the first Winter Olympics in Chamonix,France．But the American skiers came home without medals．Norway took most of the medals for cross-country and ski jumping events that year．They did the same for many years after．From 1924 through 1972,the American skiers had no medals to show for their Olympic trips．The U．S．was generally thought to be weak in ski competition
But in 1974 it was discovered that the U．S．record was slightly better than people had been led to believe．And Norway's record was not quite as good．The discovery was a surprise and a delight to American ski fans,but even more so to American skier Anders Haugen．After fifty years,Anders got the medal he should have won back in 1924．
In the ski jump event at Chamonix in 1924,Haugen had scored in fourth place．He had just missed earning a medal．His score was 17．916,just slightly behind Thorleif Haug of Norway．Haug's score of 18 had won him the bronze medal．
But in 1974,Norway's National Olympic Committee did a check of all final Olympic results．There had been an error in?computing?Haug's score!So Haugen,now,an elderly man,traveled across the ocean for his award．On September 12,1974,hewas given a bronze medal in a special ceremony at the Norway Ski Museum．
The best title for this passage would be______

9、Some young soldiers who had recently joined the army were being trained in modern ways of fighting,and one of the things they were shown was how an unarmed man could trick an armed enemy and take his weapon away from him．First one of their two instructors took a knife away from the other,using only his bare hands;and then he took a rifle away from him in the same way．After the lesson,and before they went on to train the young soldiers to do these things themselves,the two instructors asked them a number of questions to see how well they had understood what they had been shown．One of the questions was this:“Well,you now know what an unarmed man can do against a man with a rifle．Imagine that you are guarding a bridge at night,and that you have a rifle．Suddenly you see an unarmed enemy soldier coming towards you．What will you do?”
The young soldier who had to answer this question thought carefully for a few seconds before he answered,and then said,“Well,after what I have just seen,I think that the first thing I would do would be to get rid of my rifle as quickly as I could,so that the unarmed enemy couldn't take it from me and kill me with it!”
The soldiers practiced__.

10、You have been badly injured in a car accident．It is necessary to give you a blood transfusion because you lost a great deal of blood in the accident．However,special care must be taken in selecting new blood for you．If the blood is too different from your own,the transfusion could kill you.
There are four basic types of blood;A,B,AB and O．A simple test can indicate a person's blood type．Everybody is born with one of these four types of blood．Blood type,like hair color and height,is inherited from parents.
Because of substances contained in each type,the four groups must be trans fused carefully．Basically,A and B cannot be mixed．A and B cannot receive AB,but AB may receive A or
B．O can give to any other group,hence it is often called the universal donor．For the opposite reason,AB sometimes called the universal recipient．However,because so many reactions can occur in transfusions,patients usually receive only salt or plasma until their blood can be matched as exactly as possible in the blood bank of a hospital．In this way,it is possible to avoid any bad reactions to the transfusion.
There is a relationship between your blood type and your nationality．Among Europeans and people of European ancestry,about 42 percent have type A while 45 percent have type O．The rarest is type A
B．Other races have different percentages．For example,some American Indian groups have nearly 100 percent type O.
If you need a transfusion,the best and safest blood for you is__.

11、Years ago our cities were full of cars,buses and trucks．Now the streets are completely congested(拥挤的)and it is very difficult to drive a car along them．Drivers must stop at hundreds of traffic lights．What are our cities going to be like in ten or twenty years?Will enormous(巨大的)motorways be built across them?With-big motorways cutting across them,full of noisy,dirty cars and lorries,our cities are going to be awful places．How can we solve the problem?
There are some good ideas to reduce the use of private cars．In 1989,for example,the authorities in Rome began an interesting experiment:passengers on the city buses did not have to pay for their tickets.
In Stockholm there was another experiment:people paid very little for a season ticket to travel on any bus,trolley bus,train or tram in all the city.
In many cities now some streets are closed to vehicles,and pedestrians are safe there.
In London there is another experiment:part of the street is for buses only,so the buses can travel fast．There are no cars or taxies in front of them.
In many cities pedestrians are now much safer because__.

12、Scotland provides superb opportunities to enjoy wild and grand scenery which is even more impressive than the postcards suggest．It also offers towns and cities with a rich cultural life,a good mix of accommodation and places to eat and drink．Friendly and welcoming,it is an interesting and colorful all-season destination,where landscapes and the environment,sport and leisure pursuits,heritage and history,culture and cuisine are all part of a rewarding experience.
The best reason for choosing to go on holiday to Scotland is:one of the last places inside the crowded and frenetic European Union where it is possible to be alone isolated countryside．This is not to say that Scotland,like everywhere else,does not have its tourist traps,its crowded roads or its popular beauty spots．But it is relatively easy to escape from them.
It would be a mistake to think that Scotland is merely an extension of England.
Indeed,no attitude is capable of causing greater offence to the Scots．They successfully resisted English attempts at domination for seven hundred years,and many differences between the two countries persist.
Scotland's history,embodied in its castles,battlefields,and ancient links with France,Flanders and Scandinavia,is special.
Scotland is__.

13、Every year gray whales migrate from the Bering Sea in Alaska to the Baja Peninsula in Mexico.
Eleven gray whales have died in the San Francisco Bay in the last three weeks．No one knows why the whales are dying.
Last year 270 whales died along the whales'migration route．Many people think starvation is the cause．This year the dead whales seem to have more blubber(fat)on them.
Twenty years ago,the gray whale was listed as an endangered species.
Some scientists think that the larger number of whales makes it hard to find enough food．More whales create more pressure on the food supply,a supply that some scientists say may have dwindled as a result of the warm waters of El Nino.
Most of the whales have been dead for many days before they are found and studied．This makes it hard to find the reason for death.
65 whales have been seen in the San Francisco Bay Area this year compared to 17 last year．The whales could be dying from many diseases,but it may be over-population．
One reason it is difficult to know why the whales are dying is that__.

14、If you want to stay young,sit down and have a good think．This is the research result of professor Faulkner,who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result,we are ageing unnecessarily soon.
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively early age,and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.
He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations．
Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain,which relate to intelligence and emotion,and determine the human character．
Contraction of front and side parts--as cells die off--was observed in some subjects in their thirties,but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy-year-olds.
Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction—using the head.
The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns．Those least at risk,says Faulkner,are lawyers,followed by university professors and doctors．White--collar workers doing routine work are,however,as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker,bus driver and shop assistant.
Faulkner's findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking．Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need．"The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,"he says．"Think hard and engage in conversation．Don't rely on pocket calculators."
Professor Faulkner wanted to find out__．

35、When I was a little girl, my brothers and I collected stamps for many years. My mother didn't use to work during the week, but she worked in the post office near our house on Saturdays, and she used to bring home all the new stamps as soon as they were issued (发行).On the day of the World Cup football final in London in 1966, we were very excited because England were playing West Germany in the final. When we were having lunch, my mother told us to go to the post office straightaway after the match if England won, but she didn't tell us why. At 2 o'clock my mother went back to work as usual, while the rest of the family were watching the football on TV at home. Although she wasn't watching the match, she was listening to it on the radio.England won 4:2 and so my brothers and I ran to the post office.
