Held in honor of Zeus in the cit
2、y of Olympia for four days every fourth summer, the Olympic games were the oldest and most prestigious of four great ancient Greek athletic festivals, which also included the Pythian games at Delphi, the Isthmian at Corinth, and the Nemean at Argos (the Panathenaea at Athens was also important). The
3、 Olympics reached their height in the 5th4th cent. B.C.; thereafter they became more and more professionalized until, in the Roman period, they provoked much censure. They were eventually discontinued by Emperor Theodosius I of Rome, who condemned them as a pagan spectacle, at the end of the 4th cen
4、t. A.D. Among the Greeks, the games were nationalistic in spirit; states were said to have been prouder of Olympic victories than of battles won. Women, foreigners, slaves, and dishonored persons were forbidden to compete. Contestants were required to train faithfully for 10 months before the games,
5、 had to remain 30 days under the eyes of officials in Elis, who had charge of the games, and had to take an oath that they had fulfilled the training requirements before participating. At first, the Olympic games were confined to running, but over time new events were added: the long run (720 B.C.),
6、 when the loincloth was abandoned and athletes began competing naked; the pentathlon, which combined running, the long jump, wrestling, and discus and spear throwing (708 B.C.); boxing (688 B.C.); chariot racing (680 B.C.); the pankration (648 B.C.), involving boxing and wrestling contests for boys
7、(632 B.C.); and the foot race with armor (580 B.C.). Greek women, forbidden not only to participate in but also to watch the Olympic games, held games of their own, called the Heraea. Those were also held every four years but had fewer events than the Olympics. Known to have been conducted as early
8、as the 6th cent. B.C., the Heraea games were discontinued about the time the Romans conquered Greece. Winning was of prime importance in both male and female festivals. The winners of the Olympics (and of the Heraea) were crowned with chaplets of wild olive, and in their home city-states male champi

19、ychologists. They say designers should go back to school to learn about ordinary peoples tastes. Many buildings that appeal to architects get the thumbs down from the public. Robert Gifford of the University of Victoria in British Columbia decided to find out whether architects understand public pre
20、ferences and simply disagree with them, or fail to understand the lay persons view. With his colleague graham brown, he asked 25 experienced architects to look at photos of 42 large buildings in the US, Canada, Europe and Hong Kong. The architects predicted how the public would rate the buildings on
21、 a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represented “terrible” and 10 “excellent”. a further 27 people who were not architects also scored the buildings out of 10. In addition, eight architects gave their own personal ratings of the buildings. The three groups tended to agree among themselves on a buildings me
22、rits. And architects correctly predicted that lay people would on average rate buildings higher than they did themselves. but for individual buildings, the architects perceptions of what the lay people would think were often way off the mark. “Some architects are quite good at predicting lay prefere
23、nces, but others are not only poor at it, they get it backwards.” says Gifford. For instance, architects gave the Stockley Park building b-3 offices in London a moderate rating of 5.2. They thought the public would like it much better, predicting a rating of 6.3. But the public actually disliked the
24、 offices, and gave it 4.7. Gifford thinks that lay people respond to specific features of buildings, such as durability and originality, and hopes to pin down what they are. “Architects in architecture school need to be taught how lay people think about buildings,” Gifford concludes. He doesnt think
25、 designers should pander to the lowest common denominator, but suggests they should aspire towards buildings that appeal to the public and architects alike, such as the bank of china building in Hong Kong. Marco Goldschmidt of the Richard Rogers partnership, designers of the millennium dome in Londo
26、n, thinks the study is flawed. “The authors have assumed, wrongly, that buildings can be meaningfully judged from photographs rather than actual visits,” he says. Goldschmidt thinks it would be more significant and interesting to look at the divergence of public taste between generations. 66. What d
27、oes the first paragraph of this passage imply? A. architects have a dark future in designing marvelous buildings. B. architects dont care about how ordinary people view their designs. C. it is very difficult for architects to please the general public. D. architects dont know much about the public t
28、astes for buildings. 67. Through his study, Robert Gifford found that . A. the three groups had similar responses to the photos of 42 large buildings B. the architects generally rated buildings lower than lay people C. the architects predicted precisely the preferences of lay people D. no architect
29、could predict the public tastes towards buildings accurately 68. From the passage we can learn that the bank of china building in Hong Kong . A. panders to the lowest common denominator B. gets a low rate from the architects 浙江大学 2009年 真题 4 C. appeals to the public as well as the architects D. gives
30、 the architects a lot of aspiration 69. Marco Goldschmidt thinks that Giffords study is flawed because . A. it uses photos instead of actual visits B. it ignores the public tastes between generations C. it lacks the necessary significance and interests D. it doesnt take into account the differences
31、within the public 70. What does the passage mainly deal with ? A. how to design attractive buildings. B. architects need to understand public tastes. C. how lay people view buildings.

32、ed by arsenic-tainted (含砷) groundwater are facing an appalling new threat. Their rice and vegetables are also laced with high levels of arsenic. The health effects of eating such tainted food are not yet known, but the ramifications (门类) could be enormous. The WHO says contaminated drinking water al
33、one could kill 270,000 Bangladeshis over the next decade. In a terrible irony, arsenic entered the Bangladeshi water supply when UNICEF and other international agencies sank millions of tube wells to provide clean drinking water. But the wells tapped into groundwater contaminated by arsenic from sed
34、imentary deposits deep below Bangladesh. To deal with the problem, UNICEF and the World Bank have been testing water from wells and marking them safe or dangerous but that testing program has been found to be flawed. To make matters worse, water from the wells is also used to irrigate paddy fields.
35、However, until now it wasnt known whether or not the rice was accumulating arsenic. Tests on rice samples from around Bangladesh and found that arsenic levels did indeed vary according to the strength of local arsenic contamination in the soil and groundwater. Arsenic levels in different varieties o
36、f rice ranged from about 0.05 to 1.8 parts per million. In Europe and the US, levels are around 0.05 parts per million. The WHO recommends a maximum level of 0.01 parts per million in drinking water but there are no guidelines for levels in foods,Ravi Naidu at CSIRO in Adelaide and his colleagues ha
37、ve been studying the uptake of arsenic from the soil by Bangladeshi crops. Their data shows that arum, a popular vegetable, has arsenic levels of nearly 150 parts per million. It is usually grown in wet zones adjacent to the tube wells. But some vegetables such as spinach and beans are relatively fr

Their calculations show that nearly 30 per cent of the total arsenic intake for people in Bangladesh may be coming from their food. If the body can absorb arsenic f

Researchers fear that paddy（水稻） fields will continue to be irrigated from poisoned tube wells because Bangladesh does not have enough 浙江大学 2009年 真题 5 arsenic-free water for agriculture. 71. T
40、he central idea of the passage is about _. A the contamination of water and crops in Bangladesh B how to cultivate rice free of arsenic C the serious consequences of arsenic intake D how to solve the water shortage problems in Bangladesh 72. From the passage we learn that water contamination of Bang

The passage implies that the arsenic in drinking water in Europe and the US is _.
