―We‘re like cops(警察 )chasing criminals—athletes are always adapting and looking for areas we haven‘t investigated,‖ said Jacquew de Ceaurriz, a French antidoping expert. Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, many cheats have been caught out. The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson. He broke the 100 meters world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seoul(汉城 )Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to action—only to be found positive again and banned forever. China has also had problems with drug cheats. At the 1994 Asian Games, 11 Chinese athletes—seven of them swimmers—tested positive for banned drugs. Sports anizations promised that cheating on this scale would not happen again. Experts are also worried that doping can damage a person‘s health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney(肝肾 )diseases, and women may experience reproductive(生育 ) problems. As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achieved and that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene(基因 )technology. ―For the moment, geic doping does not exist,‖ said de Ceaurriz. ―Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easily—the scientific munity(界 )will not let it happen.‖ ( ) 60.

C Fivetime world overall shorttrack speed skating champion Yang Yang(A)won China‘s firstever Winter Olympic gold medal with a runaway victory in the 500m final on Saturday. Yang Yang, putting behind her a dismal fourth place finish in the 1,500 meters three days ago, got off to a sparking lead and never looked back to cross the line in seconds. Worldrecord holder and fourtime European champion Evgenia Radanova followed home seconds behind. Another Chinese, Wang Chunju, the world champion in the shortest distance came in third, twohundredths of a second further behind. Yang, 25, whose name is tagged with the letter A to distinguish her from her younger teammate and namesake, Yang Yang(S), is the overall World Cup winner this season, with the top points in the 1,000m and 1,500m. In the 1,500m, the younger Yang, 24, who won two silver medals in Nagano four years ago, crashed out while chasing herd after two South Korean teenagers, KoGiHyun and Choi EunKyungm who eventually finished first and second. Yang Yang(A) ended up fourth. Yang Yang(S) did not pete in the 500 meters. ( ) 64. What day was the day when Yang Yang(A) peted in the 1,500 meters? A. Saturday. B. Friday. C. Thursday. D. Wednesday.

Starting. D. Quitting. D Some people argue that the pressures on international sportsmen and sportswomen kill the essence(本质 ) of sportseeking for personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they bee petitive but they still enjoy playing. A single person‘s representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself。 he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for an entire nation‘s hopes, dreams and fame. A good example is the football World Cup. Football is the world‘s most important sport. It is even more important now that the United States is seriously taking it up. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the greatest of international sporting success. Mention ―Argentina‖ to someone and the chances are that he‘ll think of football. In a sense, winning the World Cup ―put Argentina on the map‖. Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational(失去理性的 ) about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1996. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses and spent all their money traveling to Argentina where the finals were played. So am I arguing that international petition kills the idea of sports? Certainly not! Do the Argentineans really believe that because eleven of their men proved that most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really. But it‘s known that you won, and that in one way at least your country is best. ( ) 68. What is the writer‘s main purpose in。
