A
The first marathon of the modern Olympic Games took place in 1896. Now marathon is a popular sport across China. Teenagers also take part in marathons actively.
Xu Qian is a 15-year-old boy from Duqian, Jiangsu. He loves running very much. He took first place in the 5-kilometer Happy Run of the Jingdong Suqian Marathon on April 2, 2023. To get ready for the race, Xu had to train for months. He ran about 30 to 40 kilometres each week ahead of the run. “The 800-meter run at school is more about speed, but marathon tests a runner’s endurance and psychological quality (心理素质),” he said. When he felt tired during the race, he told himself to fight on.
Of course, kindness from the people is also important in helping runners get to the finish line. Li Zhouzi from Shanxi took part in a 3-kilometre Kid Run of the Berlin Marathon in Germany in 2019 when she was 10. The support from the people cheering along the course (跑道) really encouraged her. “When things were hard, they cheered me on. The simple words ‘keep it up’ meant a lot to me and I was encouraged to keep going to the end,” Li said.

Imagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.
Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity.
“This is a special organism (有机体) ,” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.
The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的) , because sugar can be taken from waste and crops.
But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.
The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely.
“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”
He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher’s ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in the countryside.
11．What’s the passage mainly about
A．An effective way to repair the mobile phone.
B．A scientific invention of a new type of battery.
C．A clean energy to reduce the carbon dioxide.
D．A new kind of mobile phone and its future.
12．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the newly-developed battery
A．Convenient. B．Stable. C．Inexpensive. D．Quick.
13．Which of the following are the scientists working on to improve the new battery
A．Increase the bacteria. B．Solve the pollution problem.
C．Bring down the price. D．Change the size of the battery.
14．What does the underlined sentence actually mean
A．The bacteria battery shares some similarities with solar energy.
B．Scientists will continue their work until they find solar power.
C．There is still much room for the improvement of the bacteria battery.
D．The bacteria battery will be as popular as solar power in twenty or thirty years.
15．According to the last paragraph, who will find the bacteria battery less useful
A．Divers. B．Farmers. C．Doctors. D．Cooks.
C

16 You can spend your holiday on your own doing something you have no time to do in your everyday life.
Eat your favorite food. You can make a healthy meal at home. Cook something you love but usually don’t have time to make. Not having meals at home, you can go to a restaurant for something special. Eat it there, or bring it home. 17
Stay away from electronics (电子产品). Maybe you can’t help playing with your smart phones all day while you are alone. Why not find more time to go hiking, fly kites or do some other outdoor activities 18
Try to find something new and fun to do. 19 Going to see a movie or a concert alone can be fun. Use your free time as a chance to try something new like dancing or drawing. 20 . Try to be a master of your own when you are free.

Imagine that the battery on your mobile phone has run out. You can’t make any calls for help and no one can contact you. You are all alone, and well, not quite. Just reach into your pocket and take out a piece of sugar. Put it into the battery, wait a minute and you are back on the phone.
Thanks to a couple of American scientists, this situation could become real. Swadesh Chaudhuri and Derek Lovely have invented the “bacteria (细菌) battery”. This kind of battery gets its power from bacteria that eat sugar and turn it into electricity.
“This is a special organism (有机体) ,” Lovely said. “You can get enough electricity to power a cell phone battery for about four days from a spoonful of sugar.”
In the past, bacteria batteries have been expensive and not long-lasting. But this battery uses a more efficient bacterium that can turn 80 percent of sugar into electrical energy. This is 30 percent more than similar batteries can manage.
The bacteria battery could become as small as a household battery. It is also cheap and stable (稳定的) , because sugar can be taken from waste and crops.
But the sugar-to-electricity process is not satisfactory as it could take weeks for the bacteria to change a cup of sugar into electricity. And it produces “greenhouse” gases which pollute the environment.
The scientists understand there is a lot more work to be done. “It is still young,” said Lovely.
“Where we are now is where solar power was 20 or 30 years ago.”
He also believes the battery will be used in scientific equipment at the bottom of the ocean. Ocher’s ideas include using sugar in the blood to run medical devices in the human body and taking sugar from animal waste to provide energy to power homes in the countryside.
11．What’s the passage mainly about
A．An effective way to repair the mobile phone.
B．A scientific invention of a new type of battery.
