know they can do, to take significant risks by pursuing the unknown and unpredictable - in short, to demonstrate the
spirit of a true scholar at a research university.
Up to 20 awards are given per year, each carrying $1000 of funding for research/creative activity expenses such

You may have heard video game characters deliver lines like “Shatter (击碎) the darkness with thunder!” But
it’s refreshing to hear it in an unexpected place — the classroom. Xia Zhendong is a physics teacher working at a
senior high school in south China. Now in his 30s, Xia has won the hearts of millions of online viewers with hisclassroom experiments.
In one video, Xia pointed a self-made “thunderbolt wand (魔杖)” toward a hanging light tube in his classroom
and said, “Shatter the darkness with thunder.” Suddenly, an electric arc (弧线) emerged from the tip of the wand,
illuminating the tube. After the cheers from his students, he went on to explain the science behind it—static
electricity (静电) and point discharge (尖端放电).
“The idea came when I enjoyed playing a popular game on my smart phone,” he said. In his spare time, he likes
to try out what students are interested in to get closer to them. Apart from the “thunderbolt wand”, Xia has done many
other creative experiments. Once, he lit steel wool with a battery to show the heating effect of electric current. Another
time, he used a “laser weapon” to pop balloons while explaining the principles of lasers.
For Xia, physics is supposed to be fun. So, when he saw his students struggle with physics, he decided to make a
change. “Circuit diagrams (电路图) are abstract, and I want them to actually see the electricity through lightning to
realize that knowledge is not just on paper. You can see it and even touch it,” Xia said. Now, Xia has also started free
live classes online. “I hope that through online classes, more students can also have access to fun physics lessons.
And their parents can also join in. I hope that physics could make them feel happier,” Xia said.
24. What does the underlined word “illuminating” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Shining light on. B. Cutting down on.
C. Getting stuck in. D. Taking advantage of.
25. What inspired Xia Zhendong to have such an idea?
A. The effect of acting a video game character. B. Online viewers of his videos.
C. The pleasure in playing an online game . D. Wild cheers from his students.
26. Why does he start free live classes online?
A. Because he hopes to get more students to have his classes.
B. Because he wishes to get more parents involved in his lessons.
C. Because he expects more students to have fun in learning physics.
D. Because he wants to win more hearts of online viewers of his videos.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What makes a fun teacher. B. Bringing magic to school.
C. How to make physics fun. D. Getting students to learn physics.
C
The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is any nonnative species that
significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades. Such species may arrive in new areas through naturalmigration, but they are often introduced by the activities of other species. Human activities, such as those involved
in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals,
microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.
Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the
necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may
become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over native species in invaded areas. They
change native food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks
natural enemy capable of keeping them in check. Under these circumstances, new arrivals can get the chance to
reproduce in large numbers.
The ecological damage that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes
economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive species may be so good at
catching preys that victim populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected ecosystem.
Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources.
Over time, invasive species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native
species. Invasive plants and animals may also serve as disease carriers that spread parasites (寄生虫) and viruses that
may further do harm to the invaded area.
28. How do introduced species mainly travel to a new place?
A. Through natural reproduction. B. Through natural migration.
C. Through human activities. D. Though social interactions.
29. What happens to most introduced species in new habitats?
A. They become extinct worldwide. B. They survive from any challenges.
C. They dominate the new world. D. They die off in a short period.
30. What does the underlined word “preys” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Creatures that are hunted and eaten.
B. Species that die out in a new place.
C. Species at the top of food chains.
D. Creatures at the bottom of food chains.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Invasive Species Around the World
B. Invasive Species and Their Impact
.
C The Ways Invasive Species SpreadD. The Classification of Introduced Species
D
Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle
against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison.
Driven by heaven- knows- what motives, he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was
Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote 《堂吉诃德》. And the story poses an interesting question: why do
some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before?
We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about
those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on
growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and
then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the
opportunities are everywhere.
With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to
have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something
larger than our own little egos (自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate (视……等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.
But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such
excellence — whether they are driving a truck, or running a store make the world better just by being the kind of
people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.
32. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ______.
A. age is not a barrier to achieving one’s goal
B. loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativity
C. misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D. disability cannot stop a man’s pursuit of success
33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. End one’s struggle for liberty. B. Waste one’s energy taking risks.
C. Lose the interest to continue learning. D. Miss the opportunity to succeed.
34. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.B. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.
C. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
D. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.
B. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
C. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.
D. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.

A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery
and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was
to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, but
Sue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just
one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then
five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost
total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near
the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several
cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off
the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runnerswere becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to
drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around
a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling.
____________________________________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.”

pressure on your pocket. Today, let’s go to a university to find out. Excuse me. Can I ask you a few questions?
W: Well, Okay.
M: How do you find the cost of living in the city?
W: Everything is expensive, including clothing, housing, and traveling.
M: So, what do you spend most on?
W: Transport, I think. For food, if I cook myself, it’s not expensive at all. For clothing, I bring my clothes here from
my home country, where they’re nice and cheap. But every week, I have to spend more than 100 pounds on the
trains.
M: Then what’s the social life like?
W: I’m a very social person. I love hanging out with my friends and meeting new people. Thankfully, I don’t drink
nor smoke, so the only expense is maybe tickets to the cinemas, club, and so on.

【详解】Hello, everyone. In today’s program, I’d like to share a true story of mine. One day, my friends and I
had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to rain heavily. When it became lighter, I decided to walk in the rain
to get my car and go home. It was parked three blocks away. My friends argued I shouldn’t go because at that time,
I was due to give birth in three months. I promised I’d be very careful. One of them wanted to come with me, but I
insisted she stay with another friend who needed help with her baby. When I walked to the first crossroads, a taxi
stopped and a passenger came out with an umbrella. Before I knew what was happening, he walked right beside meand told me he would walk with me to where I would go. I refused, but he insisted. During our walk, he kept telling
me to walk slowly. When we got to the car park, I thanked him, and we parted ways. I did not get his name and may
not even recognize him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I’ll never know.

You may have heard video game characters deliver lines like “Shatter (击碎) the darkness with thunder!” But
it’s refreshing to hear it in an unexpected place — the classroom. Xia Zhendong is a physics teacher working at a
senior high school in south China. Now in his 30s, Xia has won the hearts of millions of online viewers with his
classroom experiments.
In one video, Xia pointed a self-made “thunderbolt wand (魔杖)” toward a hanging light tube in his classroom
and said, “Shatter the darkness with thunder.” Suddenly, an electric arc (弧线) emerged from the tip of the wand,
illuminating the tube. After the cheers from his students, he went on to explain the science behind it—static
electricity (静电) and point discharge (尖端放电).
“The idea came when I enjoyed playing a popular game on my smart phone,” he said. In his spare time, he likes
to try out what students are interested in to get closer to them. Apart from the “thunderbolt wand”, Xia has done many
other creative experiments. Once, he lit steel wool with a battery to show the heating effect of electric current. Another
time, he used a “laser weapon” to pop balloons while explaining the principles of lasers.
For Xia, physics is supposed to be fun. So, when he saw his students struggle with physics, he decided to make a
change. “Circuit diagrams (电路图) are abstract, and I want them to actually see the electricity through lightning to
realize that knowledge is not just on paper. You can see it and even touch it,” Xia said. Now, Xia has also started free
live classes online. “I hope that through online classes, more students can also have access to fun physics lessons.
And their parents can also join in. I hope that physics could make them feel happier,” Xia said.
24. What does the underlined word “illuminating” mean in paragraph 2?
A. Shining light on. B. Cutting down on.
C. Getting stuck in. D. Taking advantage of.
25. What inspired Xia Zhendong to have such an idea?
A. The effect of acting a video game character. B. Online viewers of his videos.
C. The pleasure in playing an online game . D. Wild cheers from his students.
26. Why does he start free live classes online?A. Because he hopes to get more students to have his classes.
B. Because he wishes to get more parents involved in his lessons.
C. Because he expects more students to have fun in learning physics.
D. Because he wants to win more hearts of online viewers of his videos.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. What makes a fun teacher. B. Bringing magic to school.
C. How to make physics fun. D. Getting students to learn physics.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. C 27. B

The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is any nonnative species that
significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades. Such species may arrive in new areas through natural
migration, but they are often introduced by the activities of other species. Human activities, such as those involved
in global commerce and the pet trade, are considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals,
microbes, and other organisms are transported to new habitats.
Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because they do not possess the
necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings. Some introduced species may
become invasive when they possess a built-in competitive advantage over native species in invaded areas. They
change native food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks
natural enemy capable of keeping them in check. Under these circumstances, new arrivals can get the chance to
reproduce in large numbers.
The ecological damage that tends to follow such invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes
economic harm to people who depend on the ecosystem’s biological resources. Invasive species may be so good at
catching preys that victim populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected ecosystem.
Other invasive species, in contrast, may prevent native species from obtaining food, living space, or other resources.
Over time, invasive species can effectively replace native ones, often forcing the localized extinction of many native
species. Invasive plants and animals may also serve as disease carriers that spread parasites (寄生虫) and viruses that
may further do harm to the invaded area.
28. How do introduced species mainly travel to a new place?
A. Through natural reproduction. B. Through natural migration.
C. Through human activities. D. Though social interactions.
29. What happens to most introduced species in new habitats?
A. They become extinct worldwide. B. They survive from any challenges.
C. They dominate the new world. D. They die off in a short period.
30. What does the underlined word “preys” in paragraph 3 refer to?A. Creatures that are hunted and eaten.
B. Species that die out in a new place.
C. Species at the top of food chains.
D. Creatures at the bottom of food chains.
31. Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Invasive Species Around the World
B. Invasive Species and Their Impact
C. The Ways Invasive Species Spread
D. The Classification of Introduced Species
【答案】28. C 29. D 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是外来物种的定义及其对新环境的影响。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Human activities, such as those involved in global commerce and the pet trade, are
considered to be the most common ways in which invasive plants, animals, microbes, and other organisms are
transported to new habitats.(人类活动，例如涉及全球商业和宠物贸易的活动，被认为是入侵植物、动物、微
生物和其他生物被转移到新栖息地的最常见方式)”可知，引进的物种主要是通过人类活动传播到一个新的
地方，故选C。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Most introduced species do not survive extended periods in new habitats, because
they do not possess the necessary adaptations to adjust to the challenges posed by their new surroundings.(大多数
引进的物种不能在新的栖息地长时间生存，因为它们没有必要的适应能力来适应新环境带来的挑战)”可知，
进入新栖息地的大多数引进物种会在短时间内死亡。故选D。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Invasive species may be so good at catching(入侵物种可能非常善于捕捉)”和
下文定语从句“that victim populations decline over time, and many victim species die out in the affected
ecosystem.(随着时间的推移，受害物种数量减少，许多受害物种在受影响的生态系统中灭绝)”可知，preys
指的是被猎杀和吃掉的生物。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The invasive (入侵的) species, also called introduced species or foreign species, is
any nonnative species that significantly changes or damages the ecosystem it invades.(入侵物种，也被称为引进物种或外来物种，是任何非本地物种显著改变或破坏其入侵的生态系统)”和第二段的“They change native
food chains and in some cases even get to the top of the food chains, which means the ecosystem lacks natural
enemy capable of keeping them in check.(它们改变了当地的食物链，在某些情况下甚至到达了食物链的顶端，
这意味着生态系统缺乏能够控制它们的天敌)”及第三段的“The ecological damage that tends to follow such
invasions often reduces the ecosystem’s biodiversity and causes economic harm to people who depend on the
ecosystem’s biological resources.(这种入侵往往会造成生态破坏，往往会减少生态系统的生物多样性，并对
依赖生态系统生物资源的人们造成经济损害)”可知，本文主要讲的是外来物种的定义及其对新环境的影响。
由此可知，B选项“Invasive Species and Their Impact(入侵物种及其影响)”适合作本文标题。故选B。
D
Would you BET on the future of this man? He is 53 years old. Most of his adult life has been a losing struggle
against debt and misfortune. A war injury has made his left hand stop functioning, and he has often been in prison.
Driven by heaven- knows- what motives, he determines to write a book.
The book turns out to be one that has appealed to the world for more than 350 years. That former prisoner was
Cervantes, and the book was Don Quixote 《堂吉诃德》. And the story poses an interesting question: why do
some people discover new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before?
We’ve all known people who run out of steam before they reach life’s halfway mark. I’m not talking about
those who fail to get to the top. We can’t all get there. I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on
growing because they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years.
Most of us, in fact, progressively narrow the variety of our lives. We succeed in our field of specialization and
then become trapped in it. Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn, the
opportunities are everywhere.
With high motivation and enthusiasm, we can keep on learning. Then we will know how important it is to
have meaning in our life. However, we can achieve meaning only if we have made a commitment to something
larger than our own little egos (自我), whether to loved ones, to fellow humans, to work, or to some moral concept.
Many of us equate (视……等同于) “commitment” with such “caring” occupations as teaching and nursing.
But doing any ordinary job as well as one can is in itself an admirable commitment. People who work toward such
excellence — whether they are driving a truck, or running a store make the world better just by being the kind of
people they are. They’ve learned life’s most valuable lesson.
32. The passage starts with the story of Cervantes to show that ______.
A. age is not a barrier to achieving one’s goal
B. loss of freedom stimulates one’s creativityC. misery inspires a man to fight against his fate
D. disability cannot stop a man’s pursuit of success
33. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. End one’s struggle for liberty. B. Waste one’s energy taking risks.
C. Lose the interest to continue learning. D. Miss the opportunity to succeed.
34. What could be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A. Opportunity awaits those with a cautious mind.
B. Opportunity favors those with a curious mind.
C. Those who dare to try often get themselves trapped.
D. Those who tend to think back can hardly go ahead.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To suggest a way of pursuing excellence in our lifelong career.
B. To state the importance of generating motivation for learning.
C. To stress the need of shouldering responsibilities at work.
D. To provide guidance on leading a meaningful adult life.
【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。本文以《堂吉诃德》的作者塞万提斯的故事开篇，告诉读者如何过有意义的
生活。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“And the story poses an interesting question: why do some people discover
new vitality and creativity to the end of their days, while others go to seed long before? (这个故事提出了一个有
趣的问题：为什么有些人直到生命的最后一刻才发现新的活力和创造力，而有些人却早在很久以前就开始
播种呢？)”可推知，作者用塞万提斯的故事开头，是为了说明年龄不是实现目标的障碍。故选A。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段最后一句“I’m talking about people who have stopped learning on growing because
they have adopted the fixed attitudes and opinions that all too often come with passing years. (我指的是那些在成
长过程中停止学习的人，因为他们已经接受了随着岁月流逝而来的固定的态度和观点。)”可知，有些人还
没走到人生的一半就失去继续学习的兴趣了。画线部分指的就是people who have stopped learning on
growing，画线词组在此处意为“失去继续学习的兴趣”。故选C。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Nothing surprises us. We lose our sense of wonder. But, if we are willing to learn,the opportunities are everywhere. (我们没有什么惊喜。我们失去了好奇心。但是，如果我们愿意学习，机会
无处不在。)”可推知，机会总是青睐有好奇心的人。故选B。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“People who work toward such excellence— whether they are driving a truck, or
running a store make the world better just by being the kind of people they are. They’ve learned life’s most
valuable lesson. (那些努力追求卓越的人，无论是开卡车还是开商店，只要做自己就能让世界变得更美好。
他们学到了人生最宝贵的一课。)”并结合文章主要内容为以《堂吉诃德》的作者塞万提斯的故事开篇，告
诉读者如何过有意义的生活。由此可推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是提供有意义的成人生活的指导。故选
D。

【36题详解】
根据空后内容“but with a little awareness and effort, we can make improvements that will help us achieve our
financial objectives. (但只要有一点意识和努力，我们就能做出改进，这将有助于我们实现财务目标。)”中
的“but”表示转折，暗示空处提到的是与之相反的情况，即改变某些东西是困难的，需要意识和努力。选
项A“It might be challenging to change these habits(改变这些习惯可能具有挑战性。)”与下文形成转折，符
合语境。故填A。
【37题详解】
根据空前内容“Taking a careful look at your existing spending habits is one of the first steps in improving your
money habits.(仔细审视你现有的消费习惯是改善金钱习惯的第一步。)”可知，想要改善金钱习惯首先需要
审视现有的消费习惯。而空后提到“It can make you realize the potential issues on your spending habits, which
help you identify areas where you can adjust your spending patterns.(它可以让你意识到你的消费习惯中可能存
在的问题。)”。其中“it” 指代前一句提到的“仔细审视你现有的消费习惯”这一行为，而“仔细审视”
就需要“了解一个月的开支”。选项D“This involves tracking all your spending for a month and then analyzing

金。)”可知，本段内容与明确具体目标相关。选项B“Next, set up clear financial objectives for yourself(接下来，为自己设定明确的财务目标。)”中的“set up clear financial objectives”与下文“Having a specific
objective in mind”相一致；而“next”表示接下来要做的另一件事，即设定明确的财务目标，符合语境。
故选B。
【39题详解】
根据空前内容“Impulsive(冲动的) purchasing is a crucial habit to break. It’s critical to take action to stop the habit
of impulse shopping because it can significantly reduce your bank account.(冲动购物是一个需要打破的重要习惯。
采取行动来停止冲动购物的习惯至关重要，因为它会大大减少你的银行存款。)”可知，上文指出冲动购物
需要打破。选项F“Making a list of the items you require before you go shopping and sticking to it is one approach
to achieve this.(在去购物前列出你需要的物品清单并坚持执行是实现这一目标的一种方法。)”正属于停止冲
动购物的方法，与上文内容相符。故选F。

【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了石窟寺保护国际论坛在重庆进行，多名专家参会，共同探讨合
作机会和保护石窟寺中石刻的方法。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意：8月19日至21日，约160名专家参加了在重庆举行的石窟寺保护国际论坛，探讨合作机会和保护世界各地石窟寺中石刻的方法。根据空后的“August 19 to 21”可推知，此处介绍论坛的持续时间
表示“从8月19日至21日”，因此空处应用介词from，构成固定短语from… to…。故填from。
【57题详解】
考查时态。句意：国家文物局局长李群在开幕式上表示，中国石窟寺在主题和艺术风格方面表现出显著的
特点，反映了中国文明的和平本质。分析句子可知，空处作句子的谓语，结合从句时态推断此处在叙述过
去发生的事情，时态应用一般过去时。故填said。
【58题详解】
考查形容词。句意：国家文物局局长李群在开幕式上表示，中国石窟寺在主题和艺术风格方面表现出显著
的特点，反映了中国文明的和平本质。分析句子可知，空处是修饰 nature的定语，peace的形容词形式

【59题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：重庆论坛的召开是为了改善石窟寺的保护，揭示它们的价值和历史意义，为保护
人类的智力成果做出贡献。分析句子可知，句子主干成分完整，空处表示随着句子行为自然发生的结果，
作结果状语，因此应用contribute的现在分词形式。故填contributing。
【60题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：专家们同意在全球气候变化的背景下促进石窟寺的保护，开发新材料，建立早期
预警系统，创建一个全球历史图像数据库，他们希望这些能帮助后代欣赏它们的美。根据“agreed”可推
知，此处用固定短语agree to do sth.，意为“同意做某事”，因此空处应用promote的不定式形式作宾语。
故填to promote。

警系统，创建一个全球历史图像数据库，他们希望这些能帮助后代欣赏它们的美。分析句子可知，空处引

考查非谓语动词。句意：一名专家补充说，气候变化导致自然威胁造成的不确定性增加。分析句子可知，

67. 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。
A few years ago, my wife Sue had some fairly serious health problems. She had suffered surgery after surgery
and had also put on weight for several years. Diets had not helped her.
One day we sat down and drew up a “wish list” of the things we wanted most out of life. One of Sue’s items was
to run in a marathon. Given her history and physical limitations, I thought her goal was completely unrealistic, butSue became committed to it.
She began by running very slowly around. Every day she ran just a little farther than she had the day before just
one driveway more. “When will I ever be able to run a mile?” Sue asked one day. Soon she was running three. Then
five. “We can change ourselves for the better and cause ourselves to pursue our most precious desires with almost
total success,” Sue said and registered to run in the St. George Marathon in southern Utah.
I drove the mountainous road from Cedar City to St. George. When the marathon began, I parked the car near
the finish line and waited for Sue to come in. Five hours later, it was raining steadily and the wind was cold. Several
cold and injured runners had been transported past me, and I began to panic. The image of Sue, alone and cold, off
the road somewhere, made me sick with worry. The fast and strong competitors had finished long ago, and runners
were becoming fewer and fewer. Now I could not see anyone in either direction.
Almost all of the cars along the marathon route had left, and some normal traffic was beginning. I was able to
drive directly up the race route. There were still no runners in view after driving almost two miles. Then I went around
a bend in the road and spotted two runners running up ahead.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；

【答案】作答示例
It was Sue in the company of a girl runner, struggling. As I approached them, I noticed the pair dragging their
feet and running forward awkwardly with their shoes wet. I pulled off and called. “Are you okay?” “Oh, yes!” Suesaid, almost out of breath. The girl also nodded and kept moving. I had wanted to offer them a ride in, but the resolve in
their eyes made me swallow back the words. I turned around and followed. Inch by inch, they were getting closer to
the finish line. Eventually, the real winners in my heart ran past the finish line.
At the finish line, the girl hugged Sue, “You made me believe we could do it.” She added, “Sue described so
vividly how it would be to finish that I knew I could do it.” Sue smiled back. “I’ve been dreaming about this day for
two years and I shall not be denied”. Greatly moved, the girl promised she would never quit anything easily without
total success. At that moment, I looked at Sue and found she was carrying herself differently. It was not as if she had
become someone new; it was more as if she had discovered a real self she had not known before. She truly liked her
newly discovered self. So did I.
