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 (跑圈) 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 the money I spent 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. lost hope D. made up his mind to run
25. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B. To entertain 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.

Visitors to Rome can now see one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman statues (雕像). The 90 works from the Torlonia Collection opened this week in the newly rebuilt Palazzo Caffarelli, overlooking the Roman Forum.
Among the works is a fountain (喷泉) that was made in ancient Greece. Experts on ancient Rome believe the fountain once stood in the garden of the general and statesman Julius Caesar. It was already hundreds of years old.
The 620-piece Torlonia Collection is believed to be the greatest private collection of classical art in the world. It was begun more than a century ago by Prince Alessandro Torlonia. He found many of the pieces on the grounds of his family’s Roman garden. Rich from a business relationship with the Vatican (梵蒂冈), the family bought other well-known statue collections.
In 1884, the prince built his own museum to show off his collection. When the museum closed in 1976, the pieces went into storage.
“The reappearance of such a collection is a very important event,” said art historian Salvatore Settis. “When I saw them for the first time, they were very emotional because I knew most of those pieces from books, but I had never seen them.”
The Torlonia family chose Settis to help with the difficult job of deciding which works should be shown to the public. Anna Maria Carruba helped prepare the statues for the show. “Many of these pieces were already restored from (the year) 1600 onwards. We didn’t need to work on the structure of the statues but only on the surfaces, cleaning them,” she said.
The show will stay open until November 29, 2021. It is the result of public and private cooperation among the culture ministry, the city of Rome, the Torlonia Foundation and the Roman jeweler Bvlgari.
28. Which of the following can describe the Torlonia family
A. Unlucky. B. Wealthy. C. Humorous. D. Ungenerous.
29. What did the prince think of his private statue collection
A. It is a matter of pride. B. It is not worth storing.
C. It should not be made public. D. It should be recorded in books.
30. What was Settis asked to do by the Torlonia family
A. Repair statues. B. Introduce statues.
C. Select statues for show. D. Put off the statue show.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. An Art Show of Statues Was Held in 1976.
B. People Look Forward to Seeing Famous Statues.
C. Ancient Statues Reappear after Years in Storage.
D. A Famous Fountain Dates Back to Ancient Greece.
D
You may have noticed particular bright night skies recently as we experienced a full moon. NASA reported the event, called the Wolf Moon, began Thursday afternoon and ended Saturday morning. But did you notice any changes in your personal sleep patterns (模式) in the days leading up to the full moon
As the latest full moon was beginning, a new study was released suggesting that a full moon can affect human sleep cycles. Researchers supported that the nights leading up to a full moon have more natural light after the sun goes down.
The new research found that in the days before a full moon, people go to sleep later in the evening and sleep for shorter periods of time.
The moon takes 27.3 days to go around the Earth, but it takes 29.5 days to complete a full cycle from New Moon to New Moon. The new study measured the sleep patterns of test subjects as the moon progressed through at least one whole 29.5-day cycle. Some subjects were tested through two moon cycles.
On average, people that took part in the study slept about 52 minutes less on nights before a full moon. They also went to bed about 30 minutes later. The research showed that people had the latest bedtime and the shortest amount of sleep during the nights that were three to five days before a full moon.
The study included 98 persons living in three different indigenous communities in Argentina. Each local community had different access (使用权) to electricity. One countryside community had no electricity access, while a second had only limited access. A third community was in a more populated area and had full access to electricity.
The scientists say further research is needed to help explain other possible causes for the changes in sleep patterns in the test subjects. Such causes could involve biological differences in persons or social patterns within communities.
32. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By comparison.
B. By listing data.
C. By imagination.
D. By asking a question.
33. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their study
A. Full moon can affect sleep.
B. Bright skies are good for sleep.
C. Eyesight is influenced by moonlight.
D. Power supplies change sleep patterns.
34. When did people get the least amount of sleep in the study
A. During the nights without electricity.
B. Five days after a full moon.
C. On the night of the full moon.
D. Four days before a full moon.
35. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Illegal. B. Native. C. Virtual. D. Foreign.
第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It seems that there is never enough time for many high school students. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
36 It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities (优先的事物). Do the most important tasks first.
Use spare time wisely. Do you have a study hall Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 37 If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.
Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. 38 Don’t wait until just before a test to remember everything. If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
Get a good night’s sleep. Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory.
39 It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.
Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you. 40 You can call your friends later.

How nice to hear from you! In your letter you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to give you some advice.
As we know, food is of great importance to us teenagers. Since we grow very fast, we are in need of nutritious food, such as fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, meat and so on. However, I think you’d better not eat food with much sugar or fat. It is necessary for you to have at least eight hours of sleep every day. In addition, you should take physical exercise regularly. It will be beneficial to your health. Only in this way can you keep fit.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

【原文】Get ready to say goodbye to today’s warm, sunny weather. Just when millions of people are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, three storms are expected to make problems for holiday travelers. None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make traveling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend. It will bring rain to the northeast, but warm air in New York City might cause some fog and low clouds. It will be hard for drivers to see the road clearly. Later in the week, snow will come to the northwest states, with three inches falling in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And a few days later, just when the New Year’s celebrations are scheduled, Boston will be covered with free zing rain. The ice will cause problems for anyone trying to travel on foot, with one inch of ice expected on city roads. New Year’s will be cold in Chicago, too, with a strong wind blowing water from the river onto anyone hoping to celebrate by the water.

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 (跑圈) 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 the money I spent 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. lost hope D. made up his mind to run
25. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year
A. To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B. To entertain 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
Visitors to Rome can now see one of the most important private collections of ancient Greek and Roman statues (雕像). The 90 works from the Torlonia Collection opened this week in the newly rebuilt Palazzo Caffarelli, overlooking the Roman Forum.
Among the works is a fountain (喷泉) that was made in ancient Greece. Experts on ancient Rome believe the fountain once stood in the garden of the general and statesman Julius Caesar. It was already hundreds of years old.
The 620-piece Torlonia Collection is believed to be the greatest private collection of classical art in the world. It was begun more than a century ago by Prince Alessandro Torlonia. He found many of the pieces on the grounds of his family’s Roman garden. Rich from a business relationship with the Vatican (梵蒂冈), the family bought other well-known statue collections.
In 1884, the prince built his own museum to show off his collection. When the museum closed in 1976, the pieces went into storage.
“The reappearance of such a collection is a very important event,” said art historian Salvatore Settis. “When I saw them for the first time, they were very emotional because I knew most of those pieces from books, but I had never seen them.”
The Torlonia family chose Settis to help with the difficult job of deciding which works should be shown to the public. Anna Maria Carruba helped prepare the statues for the show. “Many of these pieces were already restored from (the year) 1600 onwards. We didn’t need to work on the structure of the statues but only on the surfaces, cleaning them,” she said.
The show will stay open until November 29, 2021. It is the result of public and private cooperation among the culture ministry, the city of Rome, the Torlonia Foundation and the Roman jeweler Bvlgari.
28. Which of the following can describe the Torlonia family
A. Unlucky. B. Wealthy. C. Humorous. D. Ungenerous.
29. What did the prince think of his private statue collection
A. It is a matter of pride. B. It is not worth storing.
C. It should not be made public. D. It should be recorded in books.
30. What was Settis asked to do by the Torlonia family
A. Repair statues. B. Introduce statues.
C. Select statues for show. D. Put off the statue show.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. An Art Show of Statues Was Held in 1976.
B. People Look Forward to Seeing Famous Statues.
C. Ancient Statues Reappear after Years in Storage.
D. A Famous Fountain Dates Back to Ancient Greece.
D
You may have noticed particular bright night skies recently as we experienced a full moon. NASA reported the event, called the Wolf Moon, began Thursday afternoon and ended Saturday morning. But did you notice any changes in your personal sleep patterns (模式) in the days leading up to the full moon
As the latest full moon was beginning, a new study was released suggesting that a full moon can affect human sleep cycles. Researchers supported that the nights leading up to a full moon have more natural light after the sun goes down.
The new research found that in the days before a full moon, people go to sleep later in the evening and sleep for shorter periods of time.
The moon takes 27.3 days to go around the Earth, but it takes 29.5 days to complete a full cycle from New Moon to New Moon. The new study measured the sleep patterns of test subjects as the moon progressed through at least one whole 29.5-day cycle. Some subjects were tested through two moon cycles.
On average, people that took part in the study slept about 52 minutes less on nights before a full moon. They also went to bed about 30 minutes later. The research showed that people had the latest bedtime and the shortest amount of sleep during the nights that were three to five days before a full moon.
The study included 98 persons living in three different indigenous communities in Argentina. Each local community had different access (使用权) to electricity. One countryside community had no electricity access, while a second had only limited access. A third community was in a more populated area and had full access to electricity.
The scientists say further research is needed to help explain other possible causes for the changes in sleep patterns in the test subjects. Such causes could involve biological differences in persons or social patterns within communities.
32. How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A. By comparison.
B. By listing data.
C. By imagination.
D. By asking a question.
33. What conclusion did the researchers draw from their study
A. Full moon can affect sleep.
B. Bright skies are good for sleep.
C. Eyesight is influenced by moonlight.
D. Power supplies change sleep patterns.
34. When did people get the least amount of sleep in the study
A. During the nights without electricity.
B. Five days after a full moon.
C. On the night of the full moon.
D. Four days before a full moon.
35. What does the underlined word “indigenous” in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Illegal. B. Native. C. Virtual. D. Foreign.

It seems that there is never enough time for many high school students. There are several steps you can take to organize your time better.
36 It makes it easy to plan any activities or meetings you may have in addition to homework. Be sure to set priorities (优先的事物). Do the most important tasks first.
Use spare time wisely. Do you have a study hall Instead of wasting that time, read a book or do homework. 37 If a friend asks you to do something and you have homework to do, realize which is more important and see your friend later.
Decide on the time that is good for you to do certain things. If you are more of a morning person, try getting up an hour earlier and do schoolwork before school. 38 Don’t wait until just before a test to remember everything. If you spend a few minutes at the end of every day going over what you learned, it will mean less time studying when it is time for the exam.
Get a good night’s sleep. Studies have shown that getting enough rest helps your memory.
39 It is best to stay on a regular sleeping cycle as much as possible.
Tell your friends and family about your work timetable. Explain that you will be working at certain times and ask them not to disturb you. 40 You can call your friends later.

83. Dear Lily,
How nice to hear from you! In your letter you asked me how to keep healthy. I would like to give you some advice.
As we know, food is of great importance to us teenagers. Since we grow very fast, we are in need of nutritious food, such as fresh vegetables, fruit, fish, meat and so on. However, I think you’d better not eat food with much sugar or fat. It is necessary for you to have at least eight hours of sleep every day. In addition, you should take physical exercise regularly. It will be beneficial to your health. Only in this way can you keep fit.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

【原文】Get ready to say goodbye to today’s warm, sunny weather. Just when millions of people are getting ready for the Christmas holiday, three storms are expected to make problems for holiday travelers. None of the storms will be strong, but the cold air will make traveling difficult. The first storm will arrive on this weekend. It will bring rain to the northeast, but warm air in New York City might cause some fog and low clouds. It will be hard for drivers to see the road clearly. Later in the week, snow will come to the northwest states, with three inches falling in Saint Paul, Minnesota. And a few days later, just when the New Year’s celebrations are scheduled, Boston will be covered with free zing rain. The ice will cause problems for anyone trying to travel on foot, with one inch of ice expected on city roads. New Year’s will be cold in Chicago, too, with a strong wind blowing water from the river onto anyone hoping to celebrate by the water.
