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＂.
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 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＂.
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

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.

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.
D
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), effects that over time 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

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。
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.

【分析】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了自己第一次跑马拉松，凭借自己的意志力成功跑完全程的励志故事。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段最后一句Yet, I was determined to go ahead.可知，马拉松赛前一个月尽管作者脚踝受伤使得训练时间缩短，但作者仍下定决心参赛。故选C。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂可知，作者提到7年级的事情是为了证明自己真的没有运动天赋。故选C。

细节理解题。根据文章第10段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.可知，作者坚持到了最后，而且得到了一块奖牌，虽然不是第一名，由此可见他成功地跑完了马拉松。故选A。

主旨大意题。通读全文可知，作者在讲述自己跑马拉松的经历，再根据最后一段Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.可知，作者成功跑完马拉松源于自己的意志。故选B。
点睛：文章主题和中心思想的阐述往往需要大量细节信息的支持，这些细节对于理解全文内容至关重要，同时也是归纳和概括文章中心思想的基础。命题人往往会要求考生根据不同的要求阅读文章，以获得某些特定的信息，或准确地寻求所需的细节，并对细节进行直接或间接辨认和理解。文章细节的理解可以细化为：（1）一一对应型。（2）语言转述型。（3）语意理解型。（4）是非辨别型。（5）事实排序型。
此题中的前三题为细节理解题。细节理解题首先要根据题干准确定位信息句，其次要对信息句进行准确的理解和判断，如第一题为转述型，I was determined to go ahead即made up his mind to run。第二题为语义理解题。根据文章第二段的信息In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well.可知，作者没有运动天赋。而第三题则为转述型，根据信息句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.可知，作者跑完了马拉松，正好与made it 意义相同。

【分析】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了女孩Tufa为帮助父亲教学几近消亡的奥罗莫语而自行制订和印刷教材，并通过众筹等方式让这些教材能被更多人使用的故事。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“But when Dad was teaching us Oromo, there were no textbooks or learning materials at all. And that struck me as really strange.”(但当爸爸教我们奥罗莫语时，根本没有教科书或学习材料。这让我觉得很奇怪。)可知，Tufa对学习奥罗莫语时缺乏学习资料感到奇怪。故选C。
【29题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father.”(但随着Tufa长大并开始自己的研究，她发现了为什么说起奥罗莫会让她的父亲如此痛苦。 )可知，第三段是为了解释原因。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials.”(她发起了一项众筹活动，这样她就可以印刷更多的奥罗莫语学习材料。)可知，Tufa通过众筹满足对奥罗莫语学习材料不断增长的需求。故选A。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tufa grew up in Australia, so she couldn't understand why her father insisted on teaching her Oromo, a language spoken in Ethiopia.”(Tufa在澳大利亚长大，所以她不明白为什么她的父亲坚持教她奥罗莫语，一种埃塞俄比亚人说的语言。)可知，文章前两段是讲Tufa的父亲坚持教她奥罗莫语，这让她无法理解。根据第三段第一句 “But as Tufa got older and began doing her own research, she discovered why speaking about Oromo was so painful for her father.”(但随着Tufa长大并开始自己的研究，她发现了为什么说起奥罗莫会让她的父亲如此痛苦。)可知，第三段讲述了背后的原因，表明因为国家领土被占领，奥罗莫语被禁止，几近消亡。根据第四段最后两句 “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.”(当她帮助教学生时，Tufa意识到教学资源很糟糕。她决定为她父亲的学生制作海报和活页练习题，用自己的钱印刷 。)可知，Tufa为了帮助学生学习奥罗莫语，自己制订并印刷了教学材料。根据第五段最后一句 “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.”(Tufa意识到，如果澳大利亚对奥罗莫儿童教育材料有需求，那么世界上一定有其他社区也需要这些资源。 )和第六段第一句 “She launched a crowdfunding campaign so she could print more Oromo learning materials. ”(她发起了一项众筹活动，这样她就可以印刷更多的奥罗莫学习材料。)可知，为了满足更多的需求，Tufa发起了一项众筹活动来印刷更多的奥罗莫学习材料。根据第六段最后两句 “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.”(她的资源也传到了埃塞俄比亚，人们把印刷本寄给仍住在那里的家人。今年，她计划为自己的出版公司开设一个网上商店 。)可知，此处是讲Tufa的奥罗莫学习材料的发展现状良好，日益壮大。所以这篇文章主要是讲女孩Tufa通过努力帮助奥罗莫语重获新生。故选C。
D
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), effects that over time 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
【答案】32. D 33. D 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知并倡导人们用正确的态度对待锻炼。
【32题详解】
词句猜测题。由第二段中的“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.(首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是futile。以步行为例。一个体重150磅的人步行30分钟平均会燃烧140卡路里左右。这相当于一罐苏打水——这对你投入的时间和精力来说并不是一个很大的回报。相比之下，不喝苏打水更容易减肥。)”可知，每天步行30分钟减肥效果不理想，说明运动对于减肥来说通常是无用的，futile意为“无用的（Useless）”。故选D项。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。由第四段中的“To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. (为了实现这一目标，一个150磅的人每天至少需要步行90分钟或跑步30分钟)”和“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), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”可知，当你每天跑步30分钟时，你的身体会渴望更多的食物，你可能比平时吃得多。故选D项。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中的“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. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼。也许运动减肥最大的问题是，它会把体育锻炼变成惩罚——这是我们为瘦身所付出的代价)”和“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. (我们将运动视为对“坏”的一种自我惩罚。在这种情况下，我们不太可能长期坚持锻炼)”可知，人们往往把运动当成一种减肥的自我惩罚，所以他们并不喜欢运动，当运动不能达到人们的减肥预期时，人们经常停止锻炼，可得出想通过运动减肥的人经常放弃是因为他们不太可能真正享受运动。故选A项。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。由第一段“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. (我们中的许多人开始锻炼，希望能减掉多余的体重。毫无疑问，努力变得更积极是一件好事。但如果主要原因是减肥，你的决心很可能会落空)”，第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. (首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是徒劳的)”，第三段中的“When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. (当节食和运动相结合时，效果同样不显著)”，第四段中的“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), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”和第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼)”可知，文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知，即运动并不能有效地帮助减肥，C项“减肥：为什么运动是错误的道路”符合文意。故选C项。

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。
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.

【答案】参考范文：
Peter raised his hand slowly and nervously. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 in the test. I missed a word.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. “I spelled contribution with ‘si’ instead of ‘ti’.” Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly in a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.”
Peter didn’t expect that his teacher would praise him for being honest. He looked around, finding that many of his classmates were smiling at him. “Peter, I want you to have this dictionary because you set a good example for all of us,” Mr. White said. Peter took the dictionary from his teacher and expressed his thanks to him with a big smile. He also really learnt the importance of honesty. He couldn’t wait to tell Mum one of his best days ever.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了名为彼得的小男孩一大早急匆匆吃过早饭，准备英语课的单词拼写测试。且如愿拿到一百分，被老师给予奖励。但随后他自己发现有一个单词写错了。虽然很不想失去很喜爱的奖品——字典，也担心被同学们嘲笑，他还是勇敢承认了自己没有全对。没料到，老师不但没有收回奖励，反而大力表扬他，并号召全班同学向他学习，诚信做人。彼得自己也再一次认识到诚信的重要性。
