“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
56．What can we learn from the text?
A． “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
57．Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?
A．One of Tolkien’s students.
B．Stanley Unwin’s son.
C．Allen & Unwin.
D．Bilbo Baggins.
58．What is mainly discussed in the text?
A．“The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
B．A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.
C．A famous professor at Oxford University.
D．The power of the magic ring.
59．Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?
a．He had his “The Hobbit” published.
b．He became a member of the Inklings.
c．He served in World WarⅠ
d．He became an undergraduate at Oxford.
e．His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.
f．He moved to England to live with his aunt.

Some people believe that international sport creates good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together．0thers say that the opposite is true：that international competitions encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred．There is probably some truth in both arguments，but in recent years the 0lympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood．Not only was there the tragic incident including the murder of athletes，but the Games were also ruined by incidents caused mainly by smaller national contests．
0ne country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey(曲棍球)final．There had been noisy scenes by the end of the hockey match， the losers objecting to the final decisions． They were sure that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair．Their manager was in great anger when he said：“This wasn’t hockey．Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished．”The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years．
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals，or in non—national teams，might be too much to hope for．But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(爱国主义)．
72．According to the author，in recent years the Olympic Games have ．
A．created goodwill between the nations
B．brought about only false national pride
C．hardly showed any international friendship
D．1ed to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
73．What did the manager mean by saying，“Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?
A．His team would no longer take part in international games．
B．Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions．
C．There should be no more Hockey matches organized by the Federation．
D．The Federation should break up．
74．The author gives the example in paragraph 2 to show ．
A．how false national pride led to undesirable incidents in international games
B．that sportsmen have been more obedient than they used to be
C．that competitiveness in the games discourage international friendship
D．that unfair decisions are common in the Olympic games
75．What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A．The organization of the 0lympic Games must be improved．
B．Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic’ Games．
C．Sport should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game．
D．More and more athletes will compete for their own honor．

六、书面表达（25）
During the summer holidays this year, I thought I should do something meaningful instead of staying at home, So I got a job at a KFC fast food restaurant and worked there as a cleaner. I worked seven hours a day for three weeks.
The job was hard and boring and seemed endless, which made me so tired that I nearly gave it up half way. After all, I stuck to it with determination.
Every day I started off for work early in the morning and got home late in the evening. Finally I finished the job before the new term began.
Now, I understand what labour means. I think it is really a successful experience.
