Kong Zi，also called Confucius(551479 B．C.)，and Socrates(469399 B．C.)lived only a
hundred years apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is
interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas，
and how these ideas in turn，shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China.
The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek citystates were small and urban.The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical(激进的)than Confucius.Unlike
Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively.Thus，Socrates was able to be
more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom，and knowledge for its own sake.Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life: “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had
more potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart.Socrates focused on the
individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom.He believed that some had
more potential to develop their reason than others did.Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class
should rule the inferior(下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern.For Confucius,
however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than 
political relations.Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
B．Confucius had much influence on Socrates" ideas．
C．The societies were influenced by the philosophers" ideas．
D．There were cultural exchanges between China and Greece．
B．the lower classes should be ruled by the upper class
C．the purpose of man was to seek freedom and wisdom
D．people should not ask others to do what they did not want to
B．Potential．
C．Knowledge．
D．Community．
B．comparison and contrast
C．cause and effect
D．definition and classification
Across the United States,there are several places where two independent towns grew together to
become one citybut kept both their names.
WinstonSalem is one of them.It"s a midsized city in what"s called the plateau(high land),between the
Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina.The Winston part is a relatively new place,founded early this century.It"s home to the nation"s biggest openair tobacco market.
The giant R．J.Reynolds Tobacco Company"s headquarters is in WinstonSalem,and Winston is the
name of one of Reynolds" bestknown cigarette brands.Fastgrowing Winston soon surrounded the much
older town of Salem,so in 1913,people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.
From a historical and tourist point of view,Salem,or Old Salem,as it"s called today,is the interesting and unusual part of town.
Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians.They spoke German,and their community was
religiously based,with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories.The Moravians
greatly valued women"s work and brainpower.In fact,one of the nation"s oldest boarding schools for young womenthe Moravians" Salem Academy founded in 1772－is still in operation.
Over the years,Salem lost its Moravian character.That all changed,though,when a nonprofit group
began to rehabilitate the historic area.These days Old Salem is what"s called a living history museum,with
exhibits,music,and tours of 18thcentury houses,taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in WinstonSalem.
The historic community is booming again.Just as R．J.Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making
cigarettes across town,Old Salem is generating about D|S15 million a year in tourism revenue and
donations.

the street gradually took shape some 700 years ago.
Guozijian Street connects to the Lama Temple in the east. There are many sandalwood incense shops at the street entrance. The air is full of scent. Yet gradually, the scent of ancient books takes advantage as one explores further down the street and towards the Confucian Temple and Imperial College. The
Confucian Temple is where the worships to Confucius were attended during the Yuan, Ming and Qing
Dynasties (1271-1911). Gnarled cypress trees outside the gate create thick shade from the sun. On each
side of the gate stands a huge stone pole written in Mandarin and Mongolian ordering all horse riders, even the emperor, to get off their horses. The glazed yellow tiles on the roof show the temple"s past dignity.
Beside the Confucian Temple is the Imperial College, the highest educational institution during the Yuan,
Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was once the dream destination for ancient scholars. The neighboring
Guanshuyuan Hutong is no different than other Beijing hutongs, except for its unique colors. The royal red of the Imperial College wall is a stark contrast with the typical grey of common people"s residences.
Serenity is very common over Guozijian Street. The occasional noise aroused by visitors is quickly
absorbed by the quiet atmosphere. Even time slows down on this ancient street.
The leafy and green cypress trees along the street protect it from the bother of the busy city. These tall and silent plants add to the dignity and elegance of the street. Living houses still preserve the ancient and
attractive style of old Beijing, which is hardly seen elsewhere nowadays. Looking through the red gate
where the paint has already started to come off, one may find some older people sitting leisurely in the sun
in the courtyards. It seems that living next door to the sage (圣人) has brought them the wisdom to
dismiss all kinds of worries.

A. the Lama Temple

C. a sight of a street

3. It can be inferred from the 4th paragraph that Guozijian Street is _______ .
A. busy

C. natural
D. noisy

play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international
contests encourag
e false national pride and lead to misunderstandin
g and hatred. There is probably 
some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that
sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders
of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national
contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had
been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions. They
believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair.
Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isn’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(停赛) of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a
disputable(有争议的) end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that
the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to
play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player
popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An
appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result
would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
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).
1. According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____.
A. created goodwill between the nations
B. hardly showed any international friendship
C. caused only false national pride
D. led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
2. What did the manager mean by saying, “...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are
finished”?
A. Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.
B. His team would no longer take part in international games.
C. There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
D. The Federation should be ended.
3. The basketball example implied that ____.
A. too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B. the announcement to make the match last longer was wrong
C. the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D. The American team was right in receiving the silver medals
4. Which statement best summarizes this passage?
A. Athletes should compete as individuals.
B. Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.
C. Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D. The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.

Homeric laughter
The "Homer" in this expression is the Greek poet. People laugh differently. Some laugh silently, while
others tend to laugh loudly. "Homeric laughter" refers to laughter of the latter kind. It is at times
uncontrollable, and the entire body shakes during the process. This kind of laughter is called Homeric
laughter because this is how the gods laughed in Homer"s classics.
A three-ring circus
When you refer to a situation as being a three-ring circus, you are saying that it is a situation of
complete confusion. There are so many activities taking place all together that they leave you confused or
annoyed. The expression comes from the world of entertainment - the circus. The area where the artists
perform their acts is called the "ring". In the past, some of the circuses were so grand that they had three
acts taking place simultaneously in three different "rings". The audience had to decide which "ring" they
wanted to focus on.
In the swim (of things)
When someone is in the swim of things, the individual is actively participating in the things happening
around him, as in "I"ve been ill, but soon I"ll be back in the swim of thing." In the world of fishing, fishermen use the word "swim" to refer to the section of the lake/river where fish can be found in plenty. So, if you
are a fisherman and wish to catch a lot offish, where would you be? You would be "in the swim".
Chickens have come home to roost
The word "roost" refers to the place where birds rest. It could be anything - the branch of a tree, a
henhouse, etc. The expression is normally used to mean that the bad things that someone did in the past

deeds done in the past. The original form of this 700-year-old expression was "curses are like chickens;
they always come home to roost".
