The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke(蛙泳). Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michelle Smith delighted her country with the first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metres free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.But late on the second day, the U.S team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had broken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.31.

How many medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six35. It can be inferred from the passage that ______A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimming.D. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsWe all communicate with one another using both verbal and nonverbal language. Most of the time, however, we are not even aware that we're doing it. We move around in our chairs, gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else's eyes and look away. These are some of the many small and random things we do. But researchers have discovered in recent years that there is a system to these gestures.Every culture has its own body language, and children understand and learn its meanings, along with words. For example, a Frenchman t alks and moves in French ways, while an Englishman and a male American cross their legs very differently. It is also interesting to note that in talking, Americans are likely to end a sentence with a dropping of the head or hand, as well as with a lowering of the eyelids.T hey finish up a question with a raise of the hand, a lift of the chin, or a widening of the eyes.What's more, there are regional phrases too; an expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way a person uses his or her eyebrows during conversations. Everything from your sex, racial background, social class, and communication style all influences your body language.A person who truly knows two languages uses both body languages too.A good example of this is New York's famous mayor, Fiorello LaGuardia, who communicated in English, Italian and Yiddish.When films of his speeches are run without sound, it's not too difficult to tell from his gestures the language being spoken. In fact, one of the reasonsEnglish-dubbed f oreign films often seem flat is that the gestures just don't match the language.Usually, our body language acts to further emphasize our words. What the nonverbal gestures put across very often and very efficiently is the emotional side of the message. This is clear when a person feels liked or disliked, as he or she will often communicate emotion "not in what is said but in the way it is said".Psychologist Albert Mehrabian invented this rule: Total communication = 7 percent verbal + 38 percent oral + 55 percent facial. It shows the importance of body language. But experts in the study of communication through body movement are not yet prepared to spell out an exact dictionary of gestures, as body movements can mean many things. For example, a student in conversation with a professor may hold the older person's eyes a little longer than usual. This gesture can be a sign of respect and love; it can be a small challenge to the professor's authority; or it can be something else entirely.36.On what occasion can strange things happen when we use bodylanguage? （）A.When it is used among people of the same culture.B.When it is used among people with different cultures.C.When it is used among people with the same social background.D.When it is used among native language speakers.37.What does an "A-OK" gesture mean in Japan? （）A.It means "zero".B.B. It means "good".C.It means "money".D.It means "toilet".38.Why does the Sardinian woman hit the British man with herhandbag? （）A.Because the man asks her a rude questionB.Because the man doesn't tell her how to find a taxi.C.Because the man offers to take her to Heathrow Airport.D.Because the man makes a thumbs-up gesture to her, which shethinks a rude one.39.Why is the Colombian made angry by the Frenchman?A.Because the Frenchman drinks his wine.B.Because the Colombian swallows the wine the wrong way.C.Because the Colombian thinks the Frenchman made a meangesture to him.D.Because the Frenchman makes a gesture to horrify the Colombian.40.What gesture almost makes the Syrian get up to hit another person?（）A.Holding one's nose between one's finger and thumb.B.Holding out both hands.C.Holding out both hands.D.The finger and thumb ring gesture.With more than 20 million records sold, and several Grammy awards to show for it, Natalie Cole, the daughter of famous singer Nat King Cole, has made a name for herself in music.Along with her great success, however, Natalie Cole has lived in a world of drugs, crime, and failed marriages."I have been to hell and back," she says.In the book Angel on My Shoulder, Cole gives us an honest look at the difficult path she has taken, sharing, as well, her successful recovery. "Where I'm at now helps me to look back on my life and realize that I've really had quite a colorful and rich life," she says. "I really could have turned out to be a different person."As the second daughter of Maria and Nat King Cole, Natalie had as normal a childhood as was possible for a little girl whose father spent much of his time away from home.With hopes of one day becoming a doctor, she left her family in Los Angeles to attend a boarding school on the east coast. But when she was 14, she received some terrible news:her father was dying of lung cancer. Less than two months later, in 1965, NatKing Cole died at the age of 47.During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn't stop her from joining a music group. She played in small clubs on the east coast, using drugs more and more frequently. Without enough money to pay the bills and to support her drug habit, Cole turned to stealing and got into trouble with the law. Eventually, she became so badly affected by the drugs that she decided to quit on the spot.She says it was a miracle—the work of an angel on her shoulder. Her drug habit kicked, Natalie's career really began to take off. Only two years after being arrested and almost dying because of drugs, Cole's first record won two Grammies.In 1976, she married Marvin Yancy, her songwriter and producer. They soon had a son, Robbie, and Cole's life really seemed to be coming together."Marriage to Marvin, and Robbie, was like a breath of pure, fresh air," she says. "I was with a man whom I loved and who loved me... we were just so close."Sadly, the marriage wouldn't last. After four years of being drug-free, Cole was once again using.In 1983, Cole checked herself into a recovery program, and was finally able to mend the wounds from her difficult past.After narrowly escaping death once again, Cole decided to record her father's greatest hits, including the phenomenal s uccess Unforgettable: With Love.Cole, who has fought and won many battles to find personal happiness, says "I'm so grateful for the way my life has turned out."41.Natalie Cole became famous because _________.A.more than 20 million of her records had been soldB.she had won several Grammy awardsC.she is the daughter of famous singer Nat King ColeD.A and B42.Which of the following is true about Natalie's childhood?A.She didn't have a normal childhood when she was a little girl.B.It was always possible for a little girl like her to have a normalchildhood.C.She didn't have a normal childhood because her father spent much ofhis time away fromhome.D.She had a normal childhood, though her father spent much of his timeaway from home.43.
