13．Was the London Olympics a success？Many people hold different opinions．However，one thing is certain，London could win a gold medal for hosting the"greenest"Games ever，BBC News reported．
Previous Olympic hosts have been criticized for the environmental damage they have caused through construction，waste and transport．But things had to be different in London because seven years ago it bid for the Olympics through the concept of"a One Planet Olympics"．
What is most impressive is that London the construction of the Olympic Park as an opportunity to clean up polluted areas---2 million tons of polluted soils were removed and 200 old factory buildings were torn down，according to sustainablebusiness．com．But that's not all---99percent of the debris（廢瓦礫） were reused to build the Olympic Park．For example，the Olympic Stadium's roof is made from 2，5.00 tons of steel tubes recycled from old gas pipelines．
As well as using recycled materials，all venues（場館）were built with green building techniques．The Olympic Stadium is the lightest one ever built，whichminimizedthe amount of steel and concrete needed．Also，the handball field has lighting pipes on the roof that reduce electricity use by 40 percent，according to sustainablebusiness．com．
The effort that London made to deal with waste also deserves praise．Water used for drinking and watering plants was from collected rainwater or recycled wastewater．In this way，about 30-40 percent less water was used in total．Waste food package were either recycled or processed and turned into renewable energy．
As one of the best connected places in Europe，London tried to solve traffic jams by encouraging the use of public transport．For example，it had trains deliver half of the building materials，instead of cars，which greatly reduced carbon emissions（排放）．
The clean anti-doping result also added to the greenness of the Games．The International Olympics Committee（IOC）said that the devices used this time were the most accurate and advanced．Only one athlete tested positive for a banned drug on the day of competing，which is why the IOC President，Jacques Rogge，has praised anti-doping efforts at the London Games．

A．recycled 2 million tons of polluted soil
B．removed  99percent of the debris from the city

4．One night，I was partying in central London，near Piccadilly Circus．Running short of money，I set off to find the nearest ATM to withdraw some cash．At Shaftesbury Avenue，I saw a huge queue for one ATM machine，but no one was using the neighboring"hole in the wall"．Assuming that the second machine was broken，I asked one queuing man if it was out of order．He replied，"It's working，but this one pays out twenties for tenners!"
So the reason for the weirdly long queue is that these folks wanted to"double their money"by getting£20 notes for each£10 note requested．Being an honest man，I didn't hang about； I simply used the idle machine and walked off．
Last week，customers took similar advantage of Commonwealth Bank in Sydney，Australia．Following overnight maintenance，a computer virus caused CommBank's ATMs to fail to function properly and begin paying out extra money，with unrestricted withdrawals．They allowed customers with little or no cash in their accounts to withdraw large sums that they didn't have．After about 5½hours，CommBank managed to restart these ATMs and stop the flood of cash．
You stole your own cash!
By withdrawing money they didn't have in their accounts，some of these greedy customers have gone heavily overdrawn．News reports indicate that some people were withdrawing as much as AU$2，500 （£1，563）in a single dealing．
Alas，both CommBank and the New South Wales police said that they will use ATM records and cameras to track down those who took advantage of the error．As Detective Superintendent Col Dyson of the New South Wales police department warned，"People should realise that they don't have the right to take that money and are committing a criminal offence if they keep it．"
What about overpayments？
What about when you key in a£20 withdrawal and you get two£20 notes，not two£10 notes？
In English law （covering England and Wales），you have the right to keep money paid to you in error"under mistake of fact"，but only if you honestly believe that the money is yours．
However，if you requested£20，got£40 and£40 was allowed to be lent to you，then the cash is yours to keep，as neither you nor the bank has suffered any loss．

56．The words"hole in the wall"refer toB．
A．a(chǎn) real hole in the wall B．a(chǎn)nother ATM
C．the mouth of a neighbour D．a(chǎn) common machine
57．We learn from the passage that the writerD．
A．saw a huge queue on his way to a party and joined them
B．people queued up to withdraw money because the other ATMs were broken
C．had to use the unoccupied ATM to get some cash because he was in a hurry
D．was critical of what he saw when withdrawing cash from an ATM
58．According to the passage，C．
A．last week，an ATM in Sydney，Australia paid out AU﹩10 for every request for AU﹩20
B．a(chǎn)n ATM in Sydney，Australia was paying out more money than asked for because the bank owner had lifted the restriction
C．the machine paid out more money than requested even when a person had no money in his account
D．some people have been arrested on charge of getting extra money in the two happenings
59．From the part subtitled"What about overpayments？"，we can knowA．
A．some English laws don't cover all Britain 
B．if the money you asked for was more than requested，you'd always have to return the extra money
C．if people kept the extra money they got at a bank they might pretend they did not know it
D．people committed a crime by getting the extra money even if they had that much in their account．

1．This is our country，America．The country where everyone is supposed to have a shot at financial success．The country of dreams and ambition．Yet，caused by the endless pursuit of individual profit，our country is a mess．And we owe it all to capitalism．
We live in a society where people are forced to live without health coverage．A country where the poor can hardly feed themselves while the rich decide which one of their 10homes to stay at for the night．All of these sad things arise out of capitalism．
Sadly，our country values little more than money．It motivates our decisions and even influences entire political parties．We have gotten to the point in society where a human life comes secondary to our financial security．Any rational society would value life above all else and realize that health is a basic human right．Yet in our world，money comes first．
I never once have claimed to be an economist and have no interest in debating the financial advantages of any economic system．Yet socialism surely looks better than what we have．
If we lived in a socialist society，we would be a country without such an unfair wealth distribution．We would value friendship over business and we would treat one another as humans．Most importantly，however，is that money would stop controlling our lives and we could act how humans should act．
Capitalism has created an"every man for himself"existence．Everything is a battle for limited resources and fuels．We have become so accustomed to the life value that we will do whatever we have to look out for ourselves．Yet is this really the kind of life we want？
We have become so illusioned．We are tired of the misdirection．All economic systems have their issues，but I feel like ours is turning our country into something it shouldn't be．The good of man falls secondary to money．In our world，it is all about dollars and cents，which，unfortunately for most，makes no sense．

51．In the author's opinion，the root cause of the present situation in his country isD．
A．money                 B．people's value     
C．social unfairness     D．social system
52．According to the passage，which is NOT the characteristic of capitalism？C
A．individualism       B．endless pursuit of wealth
C．humanism            D．great gap between the rich and the poor
53．How does the author feel about his country？A
A．concerned          B．a(chǎn)ngry   
C．skeptical          D．hopeless
54．Which of the following would the author agree with？A
A．Life should be placed at the top of our considerations．
B．Socialism is perfect．
C．Health is equally important as wealth．
D．The pursuit for wealth should be restricted．
55．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage？C
A．How to Save America             B．Capitalism Is in Trouble
C．Why Is America in Trouble       D．America Is in Trouble．

8．In 1879，a group of explorers made an incredible find．They discovered paintings of remarkable beauty on the walls of a cave in Spain．Some scientists believed that these paintings were created by early humans from the Stone Age，between ten and thirty thousand years ago．Other scientists and the public did not believe the claim，but over the years，it was proven correct．Our ancestors had incredible artistic talents．
Most of the cave art that has been discovered has been found in Spain and France．A smaller number of such caves are located in Italy，Portugal，Russia，and other countries．Scientists believe that many more caves will be discovered in the coming years，and are concentrating their efforts on Africa and the area between Europe and Asia．These two regions of the world were，populated first by humans．
Cave art was carved or painted on the walls and roofs of caves，usually near the entrance．The entrance area was probably chosen to take advantage of daylight and to allow many people to view the paintings．In some cases，the art appears much deeper in caves and requires artificial light．Evidence suggests that the artists used torches or shallow bowls in which animal fat was burned．
58．What was the response of general public to the discovery of cave art made by Stone Age people？B

3．Before leaving work，Steve Lee likes to use his cell phone to turn on his heat and air condition system at home．So by the time he gets through traffic into his front door，the temperature inside is perfect．You may wonder what a so-called smart home can do inside．
Lee works for a company called Smarthome．com，testing and living with many of his company's home automation gadgets（自動(dòng)化小配件），like this multifunction touch screen that controls devices around the house and even connects to the Internet traffic cameras．
"I have cameras，and they follow all the way down the freeway to work，"said Lee with pride，"What's going on at home when you are away？No problem，install some wireless cameras and controllers and from any computer in the world with an Internet connection，you can watch your house．"
"You can check on the house，and I can look at the temperature．Believe it or not，if I want to turn on lights ahead of time，I can，"added Lee．
We sat in Steve's California kitchen and with the right password，turned on the kitchen counter lights at his boss'house in Wisconsin．Steve did have permission to log on（登錄）．
"If you do know the password and you want to play a trick on your wife，you could turn lights on and off remotely．"
This new technology，which can automatically turn on water sprinklers when humidity is low，or turn off a pool pump when it is not in use，is no longer expensive．Several hundred dollars for a basic system is enough and it is not hard to install．
Sure the convenience is nice but many people who like the security advantages like making sure kids are safe with the help of camera monitors and bedside alerts．
"I can notice that maybe one of my children wakes up in the middle of the night once the light switch is turned on．"
What a smart home can't do is get you a snack and you have to leave the couch for that．
56．What does the underlined word"password"in Paragraph 5mean？A
A．a(chǎn) secret code．
B．Crossword．
C．Passport．
D．Touch screen．
57．What can be inferred from this passage？A
A．Steve's boss trusted him very much．
B．Steve doesn't like to play jokes on his family．
C．Steve could log on his boss'home because he had been given the key．
D．It's expensive and difficult to apply a basic smart home system．
58．According to the passage，the following is often a must for a smart home EXCEPT a．D
