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 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 dreamt 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 am 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 (世俗的) labels, I 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 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.
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
Tufa grew up in Australia, so she couldn't understand why her father insisted on teaching her Oromo, a language spoken in Ethiopia.
“Dad never spoke about his life back in Ethiopia and yet he insisted on teaching us this language，” Tufa said. “There were so many resources at my fingertips for the other languages I was learning and so many people that speak them. But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learning materials at all. And that struck me as really strange.”
But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father. The Oromo are the largest racial group of Ethiopia. But since their land was seized in the 1880s, the people have suffered a lot. The Oromo language was banned, including from political life and schools. Oromo texts were destroyed. Tufa's father, an Oromo, fled to Egypt and, in the late 1970s, he was given asylum(庇护) in Australia.
By the time the Oromo ban was lifted, Tufa's father had established a small, private Oromo school in Melbourne to teach the language to the children of asylum seekers. As she helped to teach the students, Tufa realised the teaching resources were awful. She decided to create posters and worksheets for her father's students, using her own money to get them printed.
Three other Oromo schools that had opened in Victoria by then heard about the materials and all of them wanted copies. Tufa realised that if there was a demand for Oromo child education materials in Australia, there must be other communities around the world where resources were also needed.
She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. By the end of 2014, in just six weeks, she had raised almost $125，000. Word of her project spread. Her resources have also found their way to Ethiopia, with people sending copies to family members who still live there. This year, she plans to launch an online store for her publishing company.
28．What did Tufa feel strange about when learning Oromo
A．Her father's life in Ethiopia.
B．Her father's way of teaching.
C．The lack of learning materials.
D．The appearance of other languages.
29．What is the purpose of the third paragraph
A．To explain a reason.
B．To give an example.
C．To present an argument.
D．To clear a misunderstanding.
30．How did Tufa meet the increasing demand for Oromo learning materials
A．She crowdfunded.
B．She turned to his father.
C．She dipped into her own pocket.
D．She created posters and worksheets.
31．What is the passage mainly about
A．Why the Oromo suffered in Ethiopia.
B．Where the Oromo language is taught.
C．How a girl helps to keep Oromo alive.
D．What schools need in teaching Oromo.
Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing.
For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150 pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That's equal to one can of soda—not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It's much easier just to skip the soda.
When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising brought no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet and exercise combination showed an advantage, but it was slight—about 4 pounds.
In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150 pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢). Over time, these effects limit how many pounds we lose.
When exercise fails to meet our weight loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment—a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I'll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much We treat exercise as a form of self punishment for being “bad”. In this case, we're unlikely to keep doing it for very long.
The conclusion is that we're more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well being rather than our weight.
32．What does the underlined word “futile” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Necessary. B．Popular.
C．Dangerous. D．Useless.
33．What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis
A．You will burn 140 calories every day.
B．You will lose 4 pounds in a month.
C．You might have a higher metabolic rate.
D．You might eat more than usual.
34．Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up
A．They are unlikely to really enjoy it.
B．They find it too challenging physically.
C．They have difficulty resisting (抵抗) delicious food.
D．They turn their attention to their well being.
35．What can be the best title for the text
A．How long should you exercise a day to lose weight
B．What are the best exercises for losing weight
C．Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path
D．Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers

Peter woke up early in the morning. He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird？” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum，” Peter said.“Mr White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100.”
Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when Dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility, ” Mr White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently.
“The second word: contribution，” Mr White said. “So easy，” Peter thought happily. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr White. After marking the test papers, Mr White said, “Three of you win a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary get 100 on the spelling test！”
Mr White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter's was an English Chinese Dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered.
After Mr White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “contribution” confused him. It didn't seem right. Peter began to compare it with the one on the word list. It turned out that he had spelled it wrong.
Staring at the red sign “100” which was written on his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.”
Paragraph 1：
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. ___________________

Paragraph 2：
Peter didn't expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest. _____________________________________________________

参考范文
Dear Tom，
Learning that you have no idea how to study Chinese well in China, I am writing to share my suggestions with you.
It is important for you to talk with your classmates in Chinese as much as possible. It is an effective way to improve your oral Chinese and listening ability. Besides, spending much time reading Chinese newspapers and magazines will be helpful, which can enlarge your vocabulary. In addition, I strongly recommend you keep an Chinese diary every day. Only by putting what you have learned into use will your Chinese be improved.
Hopefully, you can find my advice useful. I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours，
Li Hua
