听力原文： The Olympic Games are the greatest festival of sport in the world. Every four ye

ars, a hundred or more countries send their best sportsmen to compete for the highest honors in sport. More than 6 000 people take part in over 20 sports. For the winners, there are gold medals and glory. But there is honor, too, for all who compete, win or lose. That is the spirit of the Olympics: to take part in is what matters.

The Olympic Games always start in a bright color and action. The teams of all the nations parade in the opening ceremony and march round the track. The custom is for the Greek team to march in first. For it was in Greece that the Olympics began. The team of the country where the Games are being held, i.e. the host country, marches in last.

The runner with the Olympic torch then enters the stadium and lights the flame. A sports- man from the host country takes the Olympic oath on behalf of all the competitors. The judges and officials also take an oath. After the sportsmen march out of the stadium, the host country puts on a wonderful display.

The competitions begin the next day. There are usually more than twenty sports in the Game. The rule is that there must be at least fifteen. The main events are in track and field, but there are a few days before these sports start. Every day the competitors take part in a different sport: riding, shooting, swimming, and cross-country running. Points are gained for each event. Medals are awarded for the individual winners and for national teams.

More and more women are participating in the games. They first competed in 1900, in tennis and golf, which are no longer held in the Olympics. Women's swimming events were introduced in 1912. But it was not until 1928 that there were any track and field events for women. Now, they compete in all but half a dozen of the sports. In horse riding, shooting, and boat racing, they may compete in the same events as the men.

What is the basic honor in taking part in the Olympic Games？

A．To win medals.

B．To break world records.

C．To win first places.

D．To take part in the Games.

听力原文： The twenty-third Olympic Games, held in Los Angeles, were very much a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. However, high technology, especially in the computer field, played an increasing role in both the staging of the event and the race for the gold. Computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43,000 Olympic employees and volunteers.

A sophisticated electronic message system helped to keep the 12,000 or so journalists up-to-date on results--usually within a minute after the judges' decisions were final. Computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performance, identifying weaknesses, and suggesting ways to improve.

A．14,300.

B．Approximately 103,000

听力原文： Tennis was one of the original sports played at the modern Olympic Games which were held in Athens, Greece in 1896, and it lasted until the 1924 Games in Paris. Later tennis was dropped out from the Olympic Games from 1924 to 1968 due to the following reasons: the formats and the rules of the game were changed, lack of participants, unsuitable facilities, the resistance to the notion of posting an International Tennis Federation representative on the International Olympic Committee, mid a clash of dates with Wimbledon. (Wimbledon known as the Wimbledon Tournament is still one of the most celebrated sporting events in the world.) Philippe Chatrier, the President of the International Tennis Federation, lobbied for the sport to return to the Olympics for years but was unsuccessful. In 1968, tennis finally became non-medal demonstration competition at the Olympic Games. In 1988, tennis returned to the Olympic Games as an official sport. Olympic gold medals have been awarded in four events: men's and women's singles and men's and women's doubles.

In the past, tennis was not popular at all. But it is getting more and more accepted in China in recent years. Now China has several best players of the world. China is going to launch a new ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) men's tennis tournament next September in order to prepare for the 2008 Olympics.

(30)

A．Because the equipment was unstable.

B．Because the roles of the game were altered.

C．Because the players of tennis were disliked.

D．Because the date was different from the Wimbledon.

听力原文： The Olympic Games have always included a number of ceremonies, many of which emphasize the themes of international friendship and peaceful cooperation. The opening ceremony has always included the parade of nations. The Greek team always enters first, and the host team enters last. The torch relay, in which the Olympic Flame symbolizes the transmission of Olympic ideals from ancient Greece to the modern world, was introduced as part of the opening ceremony at the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin.

Two other important ceremonial innovations had appeared earlier at the 1920 Games in Antwerp, Belgium. The Olympic Flag was flown for the first time. Another was the first reciting of the Olympic Oath, taken in the name of all the athletes by a member of the host's team. The oath asserts the athletes' commitment to the ideals of sportsmanship in competition.

Originally there was another parade of nations during the closing ceremonies of the Games. At the end of the 1956 Summer Games in Melbourne, Australia, however, the athletes broke ranks and mingled together to celebrate the occasion. This custom was continued in subsequent Games. After the athletes join in the main Olympic stadium in celebration, the president of the IOC invites the athletes and spectators to meet again at the site of the next Games. The IOC president then declares the Games ended, and the Olympic Flame is extinguished.

Most of the Olympics ceremonies are to ______.

A．emphasize the justice and peace

B．promote the international friendship and peaceful cooperation

C．promote the ideals of sportsmanship in competition

D．insist on the mutual understanding and international aid

听力原文： The 23rd Olympic games were held at Los Angeles in the Unites States and, like every other Olympic Game, they represented a contest of mind, muscle, and athletic determination. The sue of high technology, however, showed more and more increasing significance in the staging of the event and helped to set an example for staging future events. The Olympic Games are not just a race of the gold anymore; they have also become a race for computer technology. For example, in this event, computers were used to keep track of schedules, accounts, transportation, and ticketing for more than 43 000 Olympic employees and volunteers. This was not an easy task. A sophisticated electronic message system, moreover, helped to keep the 12 000 or so journalists up-to-date on results. Due to this system, they were able to know about and broadcast to the world the judges' final decision usually within a minute's time. This message system also allowed traffic controllers to relay traffic reports more efficiently, so that the usually chaotic Los Angeles highways became easy to navigate through, computers and other high-tech tools were also used to train American athletes by analyzing and evaluating performances. This computer wizardry assisted the athletes in identifying weaknesses and suggesting ways to improve.

(30)

A．The 23rd Olympic Games.

B．Los Angeles hosting the Olympics.

C．Using computers before and during the 23rd Olympics.

D．A sophisticated computer.
