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。

A

You can't imagine how terrible I felt at that time. A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first PE class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn't do either well. He later informed me that I was "not athletic".

The idea that I was "not athletic" stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn't even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign："GO FORIT, RUNNERS!"

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels（世俗标签）, I can now call myself a "marathon winner".

1. A month before the marathon, the author __________.

A. lost hope B. felt scared C. was well trained D. made up his mind to run

2. Why did the author mention the PE class in his 7th year?

A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher. B. To amuse the readers with a funny story.

C. To show he was not talented in sports. D. To share a precious memory.

3. How was the author's first marathon?

A. He made it. B. He quitted halfway.

C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.

4. What does the story mainly tell us?

A. One is never too old to learn.

B. A man owes his success to his family support.

C. A winner is one with a great effort of will.

D. Failure is the mother of success.

【答案】1. D2. C3. A4. C

B

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.

Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say,” She isn’t exactly friendly. Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.

Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.

5. The author explains understatement by ______.

A. using examples B. making comparisons

Cfollowing time order D. describing a process

6. Mr. Bean makes people laugh by ______.

A. telling funny stories B. making jokes about others accents

C. copying how others behave D. using his body movements and facial expressions

7. What can be the best title for the text?

A. British humour in Comed B. Humour in different cultures

C. Developing Your Sense of Humour D. Understanding British Humour

【答案】5. A6. D7. D

C

Some 120 kilometers north of Rome, street signs along the road tell drivers they're bound for “the dying town” Civita di Bagnoregio. The village stands on a declining plateau. It has gone through landslides, earthquakes, and erosion since humans' first settlement about 2,500 years ago. Nowadays Civita has been reduced to only 90 by 150 meters.

In the Middle ages, the size of the plateau was three times its size nowadays, and the population was over 3,000， yet the river surrounding Civita gradually made the town collapse from the bottom up. Since 1695, when a destructive earthquake took place in Civita, many people were forced to escape from their hometown, and the population there has never recovered. By the 1920s, there were merely 600 residents in the town. Currently, there are only about 10 residents. What a small population it has!

The survival of Civita is uncertain. However, as the news that the town was about to disappear started to widely spread, more and more people wanted to visit it. Now up to 10,000 people visit Civita per day. And there is doubt as to whether it is dying. The flood of people and money leads to natives longing for the rescue of the town.

Yet the actual situation in Civita is that there are no grocery stores, hardware, or convenience stores. People living there can only have access to a handful of restaurants and tourist shops. Besides, they have to get supplies through a narrow, 300-meter-long bridge that connects them to the outside world.

Today, Civita is pursuing a UNESCO World Heritage designation, in order to earn official recognition of its landscape and adaptability to nature. Recently, the town presented a 242-page document to the UNESCO, hoping that it will help strengthen Civita's role as a site of historical and cultural significance. Also, Civitas UNESCO team plans to create tourist attractions in the surrounding towns. If Civita recovers successfully, other towns in the same situation could find a direction based on its experience.

8. What has made Civita become smaller?

A. The inconvenient transport. B. The natural conditions.

C. The settlement of humans. D. The decrease of the population.

9. Why do so many visitors flood in Civita every day?

A. Because they want to rescue it. B. Because they are attracted by its scenery.

C. Because they are interested in its natives. D. Because they want to catch the last chance to see it.

10. Which word can best describe the possible future of Civita?

A. Unchangeable. B. Hopeful. C. Disappointing. D. Doubtful.

【答案】8. B9. D10. B

第四节读后续写（满分25分）

51. 阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

At the end of the class Mr. Smith announced our assignment for the next Monday was to talk about someone we were grateful to instead of a book report. Upon hearing it, I couldn't help complaining to Mareya that I was so nervous about having to talk in front of the whole class.

"You've been in at least three plays," Mareya pointed out. "If you don't get stage fright in front of those big audiences, why are you bothered by a few kids in our class?"

It was true, but in a play you were part of a group. I shook my head. Plus, there were so many people I was grateful to. There was no way I could possibly pick just one. Plus, even if I picked one, I'd have no idea what to say. Plus, even if I figured out what to say, I was a million-percent positive I'd mess up if I tried to say it out loud! I'd be standing there with everyone staring at me, waiting for words to come out of my mouth. "Oh, my goodness!" I pulled my sweatshirt hood (兜帽) over my face, put my hands over my ears and said, "I don't want to talk about it!"

But one thing about really good friends who knew you really well was that they didn't always do exactly what you asked them to. Mareya could be pretty pushy talking of being helpful. She scribbled (潦草地写) something on a piece of paper, lifted my hood, and smiled. She'd drawn a funny elephant with the word BREATHE coming out of its trunk.

"This is Franky, the 'everything's going to be all right' elephant." Mareya giggled. She held the picture up to her ear and asked, "What's that you say, Franky? You think my friend Arizona should come over to my house this weekend so we can work on our talks together?"

注意:

1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;

2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语;

3. 续写部分分为两段, 每段的开头语已为你写好;

4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。

Paragraph 1:

And that was exactly what happened.

Paragraph 2:

On Monday morning, however, I decided to talk about Mareya.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

【答案】
Paragraph 1:
And that was exactly what happened. On the weekend, I went to Mareya's home. Her home was 3 miles away from mine. When I got there, she welcomed me at the door and led me to her study. We sat at the desk and began preparing our talks. She asked whom I was going to talk about and I said maybe I would talk about my father, who taught me to be strong when faced with difficulty. She asked me to talk about things I felt grateful for and she listened attentively as an audience. After she listened to my talk, she gave some suggetions to improve it until it was good enough.
Paragraph 2:
On Monday morning, however, I decided to talk about Mareya. I stood on the stage and bean my talk, "I am grateful to my friend Mareya. She was kind and helpful enough to draw Franky to make me believe that everything's going to be all right and gave me great confidence to face the task. It was she who comforted me when I was scared of the task and spared her weekend to help me prepare the talk. She is my best friend and I am really graterful to her. "
