My First Marathon(马拉松)
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 P.E. 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”.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司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(鞋带)became untied. So I stopped to
readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign:“GO FOR IT, 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)，
1 can now call myself a “marathon winner”.
24. A month before the marathon, the author ________.
A. was well trained B. felt scared
C. made up his mind to run D. lost hope
25. Why did the author mention the P.E. 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.
26. How was the author's first marathon?
A. He made it. B. He quit halfway.
C. He got the first prize. D. He walked to the end.
27. What does the story mainly tell us?
A. A man owes his success to his family support.
B. A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. One is never too old to learn.
C
Few people can refuse a delicious ice cream, especially on a hot day. The only thing that
stops the fun is that the treat is hard to enjoy slowly, ending up with a sticky, melted mess.
Now, researchers from Colombia’s Pontifical Bolivarian University may have found an
unlikely thing to help solve this age-old problem---a kind of fibre from banana plant waste.
Bananas as you probably know, grow in groups on a tree-like plant. Each group is connected
to a central rachis(叶轴), which is thrown once the fruit has been gathered. The team, which
学科网（北京）股份有限公司was led by Dr. Robin Zuluaga Gallego, began by abstracting/drawing out cellulose
nanofibrils (CNFs) from the powdered rachis. The tasteless fiber, thousands of times smaller
than the width of a human hair, was then added to 100 grams of ice cream mix.
With the right amount of CNFs mixed in the dessert lasted longer in its frozen state than the
traditional ice cream, extending the amount of time that the treat can be enjoyed. What was
even more exciting was that the fibre increased the stickiness of the low-fat ice cream to levels
higher than the full-fat one. Since this is what determines the frozen treat’s creaminess and
taste, CNFs could help create the healthier ice cream without influencing the taste of it.
The researchers, who presented their findings at the American Chemical Society(ACS)
meeting in New Orleans in March, 2018, next plan to study how different types of fat, such as
coconut oil, influence the behaviour of CNFs in other frozen treats.
The Colombian researchers are not the only ones working on creating a slower-melting ice
cream. In 2015, scientists at the University of Dundee in Scotland found that a natural protein
called BsIA was very effective in keeping the treat frozen for longer periods of time. With both
teams fighting to be the first to get to the market, the future of everyone’s favorite dessert
certainly looks bright.
28. What prevents people enjoying an ice cream slowly?
A. A kind of fibre from bananas. B. The fat in the ice cream.
C. The ice cream’s stickiness. D. The ice cream’s quick melting
29. Why were CNFs added to ice cream mix?
A. To improve its taste. B. To increase its stickiness
C.To reduce its fat content. D. To make it melt more slowly.
30. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The ice cream. B.The fiber. C.The fat. D. The stickiness.
31.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. BsIA is popular in the market.
B. CNFs are more useful and expensive than BsIA.
C. Slowly enjoying an ice cream will soon become a reality.
D. Ice creams with CNFs have been on sale at the market.
D
Goffin’s cockatoos, a kind of small parrot native to Australasia, have been shown to have
similar shape-recognition abilities to a human two-year-old. Though not known to use tools in
the wild, the birds have proved skilful at tool use while kept in the cage. In a recent
experiment, cockatoos were presented with a box with a nut inside it. The clear front of the
box had a “keyhole” in a geometric shape, and the birds were given five differently shaped
“keys”to choose from. Inserting the correct“key” would let out the nut.
In humans, babies can put a round shape in a round hole from around one year of age, but it
will be another year before they are able to do the same with less symmetrical (对称的) shapes.
This ability to recognize that a shape will need to be turned in a specific direction before it will
学科网（北京）股份有限公司fit is called an “allocentric frame of reference”. In the experiment, Goffin’s cockatoos were
able to select the right tool for the job, in most cases, by visual recognition alone. Where trial-
and-error was used, the cockatoos did better than monkeys in similar tests. This indicates that
Goffin’s cockatoos do indeed possess an allocentric frame of reference when moving objects in
spacesimilar to two-year-old babies.
The next step, according to the researchers, is to try and work out whether the cockatoos
rely entirely on visual clues(线索), or also use a sense of touch in making their shape
selections.
32. How did the cockatoos get the nut from the box in the experiment?
A. By following instructions. B. By using a tool.
C. By turning the box around. D. By removing the lid.
33.Which task can human one-year-olds most likely complete according to the text?
A. Using a key to unlock a door. B. Telling parrots from other birds.
C. Putting a ball into a round hole. D. Grouping toys of different shapes.
34. What does the follow-up test aim to find out about the cockatoos?
A. How far they are able to see.
B. How they track moving objects.
C. Whether they are smarter than monkeys.
D. Whether they use a sense of touch in the test.
35. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Cockatoos:Quick Error Checkers B. Cockatoos:Independent Learners
C.Cockatoos:Clever Signal-Readers D. Cockatoos:Skilful Shape-Sorters

学科网（北京）股份有限公司阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As a single mother, I’ve never doubted my daughter Jane's dream to be a singer on the stage.
At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to
her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her
songs.
Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to
support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by
chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that
before long she made great progress in singing.
Unfortunately, at noon one day a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless
driver knocked her down. She was rushed to the hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told
me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if
I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when
someone took hold of me.
It was Mary who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, "Grace,
Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong." I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the
ward with Mary.
That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand,
I said,"My dear, everything would be fine." Mary comforted her gently,"I know you are a
strong girl, Jane. Don't worry. We'll be standing by you." I was heartbroken to see tears
streaming down Jane's cheeks.
After two months, we returned home from the hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently
visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair.
Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding
girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
One day, however, Mary came with good news.
When the host announced it was Jane's turn, she was wheeled onto the stage.
