He was 98. Moriarty, who coached the United States diving team at the Rome Olympics in 1960, helped train some of his time’s greatest swimmers, among them the Olympic gold medalists Don Schollander, Steve Clark, Mike Austin, John Nelson and Jeff Farrell. He also coached Olympic diving champions like Bob Clotworthy and David Browning. In 1960, Moriarty’s divers won two gold and f our silver medals in Rome. Moriarty had been the diving coach at Yale since 1939 and then, in 1959, he succeeded Bob Kiphuth as the swimming team coach. “When I came to Yale,” Clark said, “I was a restless little boy depending on blazing speed and luck. I matured with Phil so that he didn’t have to hold my hand. He let me grow and gave me confidence.” Philip Edward Moriarty was born on April 12, 1914, in New Haven. He graduated from high school in 1932 and, though he did not have a college degree, he got a job teaching swimming to Yale students of his age. He also designed a revolutionary starting block that allowed backstrokers（仰泳运动员）to avoid pushing off a slippery wall. It was successful in the United States, but after three years the international federation refused to approve it. Moriarty promoted backstroke as healthy recreation for the young. When municipal authorities proposed closing public swimming pools to save money in 2008, he opposed the idea in a letter to The Stuart News, a Florida newspaper, saying athletics can help prevent youths from falling into gangs and drifting into crime. “The only gangs on swimming teams are relay teams,” he wrote. “The only gun they see is the starting pistol（发令枪）, pointed upward, not at someone.” 21. Paragraph 2 is mainly developed ___________. A. by time B. by examples C. by space D. by comparison 22. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to ___________. A. the acceptance of Moriarty as a swimming judge B. the admittance of backstroke style into the Olympics C. the use of a starting block for swimmers D. the practice of pushing off a slippery wall 23. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. In Moriarty’s opinion, athletics helps the youth grow up healthily in society. B. Moriarty trained a group of swimming champions like David Browning. C. Moriarty had performed as a diving coach since 1939 in Kiphuth’s place. D. There are criminal relay gangs on swimming teams. 24. The passage is probably written to _________. A. take a different look at Moriarty’s legendary life B. advocate promoting swimming among the youth C. describe a few swimming and diving medalists at the Olympics D. inform readers of Moriarty’s death and achievements B A study of English learning problems was carried out among a total of 106 foreign students. It shows that most students considered understanding spoken English to be their biggest problem on arrival. This was followed by speaking. Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in. Reading remained as a significant problem. The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course. Although many students have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation, we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest. Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country. To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might reduce motivation, especially if it has failed in the past. Therefore a different method may help because it is different. Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining or increasing motivation. Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout, but we soon found that both the students and the teachers lost interest by about halfway through the ten weeks. This led us to a major re-think, so finally we brought it into line with the expressed language needs of the students. 25. What is the text mainly about? A. Foreign students have more problems. B. Teaching should meet students’ needs. C. English learning problems should be studied again. D. There are many ways to improve English. 26. Writing became a bigger problem when foreign st udents________. A. became less interested in reading B. became better at speaking C. had to write their papers D. had fewer problems with listening 27. We may infer from the last two paragraphs that ________. A. teaching content should be changed halfway B. grammar-based teaching seems to be encouraging C. English courses are necessary for foreign students D. different teaching methods should be used 28. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to “______”. A. re-think B. timetable C. motivation D. activity C Phillip Island Penguins(企鹅) The Little Penguin has called Phillip Island home for untold generations.

D While studying social insect behavior, researchers from the Agricultural University of Krakow, Poland, discovered a remarkable example of self-sacrifice in a species of ants found in Brazil. They found that the ants sacrifice themselves in order to avoid a possible threat. When the sun sets, the ants seal up the entrance to their nest, but in doing so a few re¬main outside to kick sand over the entrance hole until it becomes invisible. These ants then die due to the cold, or get blown away in the wind. This door-sealing activity of these ants repre¬sents the first recorded case of insects sacrificing themselves through a preventive procedure. The ants sacrifice their lives every evening even if the nest isn’t under attack by enemies. The task takes about 50 minutes and the technique the ants use to kick sand backward over the hole with their hind legs (后腿）is unique to the chore, strengthening the evidence that this is a premeditated activity instead of casual action. Once their task is completed, they usually quickly walk away. In order to learn of the fate of these ants, the researchers placed sheets of thin plywood (胶合板）containing false openings over some real nest entrances. The ants carried on work¬ing until they had finished and were then left to wait for the dangers of the night. The re¬searchers found that out of 23 ants working at night, only six survived until morning. The bodies of 10 were recovered, and the other seven were missing, most likely blown away and probably dead. The researchers said that the ants are probably older workers approaching death who are more unimportant than younger nest mates. 32. This passage is mainly about ________. A. how Brazilian ants find their way B. the partnership of the Brazilian ants C. when Brazilian ants sacrifice themselves D. the unselfish behavior of Brazilian ants 33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? A. The nightly entrance-closing activity of the ants lasts no more than half an hour. B. The ants stuck outside stand a good chance of surviving the dangers of the night. C.For the first time insects are seen sacrificing themselves even when there’s no direct threat. D. The ants engaged in the door-sealing activity are believed to be young and healthy. 34. The sheets of plywood are used to _______. A. save the lives of the ants left out in the cold B. know what will happen to the ants remaining outside C. store the bodies of the self-sacrificing ants D. cover the real nest entrances for protection 35. The under lined word “premeditated” is closest in meaning to “_____”. A. exciting B. random C. abnormal D. planned 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(注：选E 涂AB ； 选F涂AC； 选G涂AD） Google is one of the largest and most powerful technology companies in the world.
