第一节（共 15 小题；每小题 2. 5 分, 满分 37. 5 分）

阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Hosting the Olympics requires large spending. But in many cases, efficiently utilizing （利

用） the post-event venues to maximize ongoing economic benefits is one of the major considera-

tions for the host country. Here are four cities that took different approaches to make full use of

their structures of the Olympics.

London, Britain

The Olympic Village for the London Summer Games was transformed into 3, 000 high-end

apartments and has a nearly 95％ occupancy rate. The area of London, called East Village, is see-

ing several retailers moving in and the development of a playground, and outside exercise areas.

Beijing, China

Built for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the Water Cube is now Asia ＇s largest waterpark,

called Happy Magic Water Cube, equipped with 13 waterslides, a wave pool and a spa. The second

floor also has several restaurants, bars and a museum of Olympic history.

New York, America

The Olympic Village in Lake Placid no longer welcomes athletes now, but instead, it houses

criminals as the Federal Correctional Institution. It＇s not surprising, though, because having a sec-

ond public purpose for new buildings was the only way to get funding from the government.

Helsinki, Finland

Originally constructed in 1937, the Tennispalatsi, or Tennis Palace was first used as a basket-

ball venue in the 1952 Summer Olympics. Now, however, it has been transformed into a popular

tourist destination as a cultural center with an art museum and a movie theatre.

21. Why do organizers try to reuse their Olympic stadiums?

A. To boost national pride. B. To earn international reputation.

C. To increase financial returns. D. To reduce environmental impacts.

22. Which city applied its sports venue to housing improvement?

A. Beijing. B. London. C. Helsinki. D. New York.

23. How does the present Olympic Village in Lake Placid differ from the others?

A. It has been remodeled into a prison. B. It features cultural exhibitions.

C. It is equipped with advanced facilities. D. It allows commercial activities.

About 30 years ago, an acoustic neuroma（听神经瘤） was found inside my body. The re-

moval of the neuroma caused my temporary balance issues and permanent hearing loss in one ear.

Apart from this, I was fine.

Unexpectedly, the neuroma came back years later. It had to be removed again. Otherwise it

would threaten the rest of my brain. When I awoke from the second operation, I had stroke-like

symptoms. The whole right side of my body almost stopped functioning, and still does.

Overnight my whole identity had changed. I used to effortlessly leap up the stairs two at a

time, but now it takes fifteen minutes to struggle. Attempts at the recovery of the old me proved to

be fruitless. My family role also shifted from a father to a dependent child, and coupled with my

communication problems, this led to increased frustration（沮丧）and anger.

There were concerns too about whether I would ever be accepted again in the wider world.

Soon after this I just managed to swim in a pool. A ten-year-old boy I didn't know came up and

asked me if I had been on the water slide yet. As politely as possible, I said no, and we struck up a

conversation about it. For the first time a stranger was speaking to me as an equal like before.

Though insignificant then, it opened doors to a whole new way of being seen, and seeing myself.

To make sure the neuroma did not reappear, I received radiation treatment for two hours regu-

larly, during which I loved listening to music by Tom Waits, an eccentric（古怪的） singer most

people dislike, but I don't care. For me, life after brain injury is like Waits'odd works. Out of failure,

ugliness, and horror-the most unpromising raw material-a beautiful diamond can be created that

shines out even more brightly because of its dark surroundings.

24. What happened to the author after his single-sided deafness?

A. He lost the ability to keep balance.

B. His acoustic neuroma regrew.

C. He underwent two operations in a row.

D. His vision was accidentally damaged.

25. What is paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. The author's efforts to rebuild his disabled body.

B. The author's self-reflection on his cultural identity.

C. The different attitudes of the author's family to him.

D. The considerable impact of the author's brain injury.

26. How did the author find his talk with the boy?

A. Reasonable. B. Engaging. C. Life-changing. D. In-depth.

27. What lesson did the author learn from Tom Waits'music?

A. Music is the universal language of mankind.

B. Suffering often leads to new self-discovery.

C. Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear.

D. Live for yourself, not for the approval of others.

When we ignore small tasks deliberately, they balloon from tiny checklist items into big an-

noyances. It could be a quick email or some boring paperwork-something that will only take a few

minutes and yet, somehow, for some reasons, you keep on putting it off.

This is procrastination（拖延症）. People who procrastinate tend to delay tasks on purpose

until the last minute, or past due date, although they're fully aware of the negative results. Typically,
